Great care should be taken when land -applying sludge from animal waste lagoons. Many opportunities
for release of waste during removal, transport, and application to surface water or public rights -of -way can
occur. Take all reasonable caution during the sludge removal process to reduce the chance of a release,
and take care not to damage the lagoon's dam and liner.

(Design Capacity)
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 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. 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. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration
rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally
waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special
precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons 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 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.
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 analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
21-1.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Condtional Sludge Amendment
1. A good representative sludge analysis and liquid analysis taken prior to sludge removal are required
to accurately determine the amount of plant available nitrogen (PAN), phosphorus, copper and zinc
contained in the waste.
2. A soil sample report for fields proposed to receive the sludge must be obtained (1) within the twenty-
four months prior to sludge application and (2) following the last application of waste prior to the
proposed sludge application. This report will serve as the basis for estimating persistent metal
(copper and zinc) effects on soil indices.
3. Sludge should be applied at agronomic rates. Sludge should be only applied to the fields in this plan
and to the receiving crops listed.
4. Remove as much liquid from lagoon as possible.
5. Agitate and pump to field(s) that have been evaluated to receive sludge.
6. Recommend that sludge be applied only to fields that are not used for animal waste application to
prevent phosphorus and persistent metal build-up that render sites unsuitable for long-term waste
application.
7. If the sludge is to be applied on spray fields already listed in the CAWMP, the operation's overall
PAN balance must include the additional PAN from the sludge and still remain in a PAN deficit for
the animal operation.
8. Recommend that potential increases in copper and zinc soil levels be estimated.
9. New fields receiving animal waste or sludge for the first time must met current setbacks, and buffers
including, but not limited to:
a. Perennial Streams-75 feet
b. Wells-100 feet
c. Dwelling not owned by the producer-200 feet
d. Perennial water-25 feet
e. Residential property boundary-75 feet
10. If sludge is applied on conventionally tilled bare soil, the waste shall be incorporated into the soil within
two days after application on the land. This NPDES/General Permit requirement does not apply to
no -till fields, pasture or fields where crops are actively growing.
11. Sludge application must be balanced with a current waste analysis on the SLUR-1 and SLUR-2 forms,
or other forms approved by DWQ.
12. The permittee is responsible for documenting all sludge applications made to both the owned and the
leased fields listed in the CAWMP/WUP sludge amendment.
13. For sludge transfer, the permittee must document the name and address of the recipient, and the volume
of sludge removed from the farm. The permittee must provide the third party receiver with a current
sludge and liquid analysis and information for proper land application management as required by the
farm's permit.

_Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or Soil and
Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining
the amount peracre to apply and the proper application rate priorto applying thewaste.
Narrative of operation:
SB515 setbacks aoDiv. Thev are as follows:
1. 100' from water supply well
2. 200' from residence
3. 50' from public ROW.
4. 50' from property line not owned by the producer or lessor.
5. 75' from blue -line stream
Actual sludge analysis should be used for all recordkeeping. Records should be kept on SLD2
forms after applications documenting volumes applied.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
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.
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 property dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a oapy 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 facility to secure an
update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the
numberof animals, method of utilization, oravailable land.
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, climatic oonditions, and level of
management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other
nutrients.
Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may
be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year
providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard
393 - Filter Strip).
Odors can be reduoad by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should
not be applied when there is dangerof driftfrom the irrigation field.
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" for guidance.)
Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff
does not occur offshe 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 orflies.
Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface

(continued)
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 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 the crop or forages breaking dormancy.
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
11 of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and from any
perennial stream or river (other than 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).
Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by
the landowner.
13 Waste shall be applied in a mannernot to reach other property and public right-of-ways.
Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by
14 discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands
provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist'.
Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly hto water
courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a
15 manner that causes no runoff ordriftfromthesite.
f[
Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not
be discharged into the animalwaste management system.

(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 regulady 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.
Waste handling structures, piping pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to
19 prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kepton site.
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
20 consumption it shoukJ only be applied pre -plant with no further applications animal waste
during the crop season.
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
21 the maximum storage volume forwaste storage ponds.
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 soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used
when these metal approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop
22 production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years.
Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste
application recordsforall otherwaste shall be maintained forfive (5)years.
23
Dead animals will be disposed of in a mannerthat meets North Carolina regulations.

A. Farm Permit or DWQ Identification Number Concord Nursery
B. Lagoon Identification
#1
C. Person(s) Taking Measurements EvoAgtec Team
D. Date of Measurement 04-29-2024
E. Methods/Devices Used for Measurement of:
a. Distance from the lagoon liquid surface to the top of the sludge layer.
rigid disc
b. Distance from the lagoon liquid surface to the bottom (soil) of the lagoon.
((CEvoAgTec
c. Thickness of the sludge layer if making a direct measurement with "core sampler'.
F. Lagoon Surface Area (using dimensions at inside top of bank): 0.5 (acres)
Comments: with 9 Readings
G. Estimate number of sampling points:
a. Less than 1.33 acres: Use 8 points
b. If more than 1.33 ac. 0.5 acres x 6 = 9 ,with maximum of 24.
(Using sketch and dimensions, develop a uniform grid that has the same number of Intersections as the
estimated number of sampling points needed. Number the intersection points on the lagoon grid so that data
recorded at each can be easily matched.)
H. Conduct sludge survey and record data on "Sludge Survey Data Sheet" (Appendix 2).
I. At the time of the survey, also measure the distance from the Maximum Liquid Level to the Present Liquid
Level (measure at the lagoon gauge pole): 1.4
J. Determine the distance from the top of bank to the Maximum Liquid Level
(use lagoon management plan or other lagoon records)
K. Determine the distance from the Maximum Liquid to the Minimum Liquid level:
(use lagoon management plan or other lagoon records)
L. Calculate the distance from the present liquid surface level to the Minimum Liquid Level
(item K Minus Item I, assuming the present liquid level is below the Maximum Liquid Level)
M. Record from the Sludge Survey Data Sheet the distance from the present liquid surface level to the
lagoon bottom (average for all the measurement points)
N. Record from the Sludge Survey Data Sheet the distance from the present liquid surface level to the top
of the sludge layer (average for all the measurement points):
0. Record from the Sludge Survey Data Sheet the average thickness of the sludge layer:
1.6
2.2
0.8
10.1
3.9
6.2
P. Calculate the thickness of the existing Liquid Treatment Zone (Item N minus Item L): 3.1
P1: Actua Biological liquid treatment zone 6.06
Q. If Item O is greater than Item P, proceed to the Worksheet for Sludge Volume and Treatment Volume.
If Item 0 is equal to or less than Item P, you do not have to determine volumes.

15. Ratio( R ) of sludge layer volume to total Treatment Volume
R = VsNz 0.55
If the ratio R exceeds 0.50, than a sludge Plan of Action maybe required.
Check with DWQ for information on filing the Plan of Action.
Note: If the lagoon has a designed sludge storage volume (DSSV), subtract that volume from both the volume
of sludge (Vs) (Item 8) and from the volume of total treatment zone (Vz) (Item 14), and take the ratio.
Then, R = (Vs-DSSV) / (Vz - DSSV)
Example: If DSSV = 85,000 ft3, then R = (169,860 - 85,000) / (447,174 - 85,000) = 84,860 / 362,174 = 0.24.
16. Design sludge storage volume (DSSV)
17. Ratio (R) of sludge layer volume to treatment volume adjusted
for designed sludge storage volume 0.55
