Per our discussions the following irrigation lanes have been converted from summer
and winter annual production to permanent fescue:
1. 3/3.313 — 4.56 wettable acres
2. 3/3.4A — 3.26 wettable acres
3. 3/3.46 — 3.54 wettable acres
4. 3/3.5A — 3.11 wettable acres
5. 3/3.513 — 2.88 wettable acres
6. 3/3.6A — 3.29 wettable acres
7. 3/3.613 -- 2.16 wettable acres
These sites are to be considered grazed. The changes still result in a net negative
balance of waste produced (-983,000 gallons) and a negative nitrogen balance of
2303 pounds.

RE: Temporary Alteration
Due to an unacceptable stand of fescue Field 5 will be plowed to destroy particle
stand in place. Summer hay crop of millet will be grown on the site to receive
nutrients from May 15 to September 30. The application rate will be based on an
expected yield of 4.9 tons per acre, 37.5 units of nitrogen per ton (grazed rate).
The site will be replanted to fescue in the fall of 2007 and handled as specified in
the permanent waste plan.

Re: Waste Utilization Plan Amendment
The Waste Utilization Plan for Twin Oaks Farm has been changed as follows.
1. All forage production ! nitrogen utilization based on grazing versus hay harvest. This
does not preclude harvesting excess forage as hay Ihaylage. However, all fertilization
will be based on hay harvest rates.
2. Field 3 has been changed to Field 2. The new Field 3 is new to production in 2006.
3. Hydrants 39-46 have been added to Field 5 and removed from Field 1.
4. Hydrants 1-24-35 have been removed from the spray field. That acreage has been
removed from the wettable acres.
5. The initial Fields 2 and 4 have been combined into Field 4. The spray hydrants in those
fields have been removed and replaced with two traveler lanes.
6. Nitrogen rates for all full season crops (non-overseeded) have been set at 45 lbs. per ton
of RYE.
Attached are:
Table 1 Waste Utilization
Table and Table 2 Waste / Nutrient Balance tables reflect these changes.

Dear White Rock Farms LLC:
The Division of Water Quality (Division) received your sludge survey information on October 8,
2007. With the survey results, you requested an extension of the sludge survey requirement for
the lagoon at the Twin Oaks Farm facility not to be required until 2009. Due to the amounts of
treatment volume available, the Division agrees that a sludge survey is not needed until 2009.
The results of the 2009 sludge survey are to be submitted by March 1, 2010.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. if you have any questions, please call me at (919)

In accordance with your Notification of a Change of Ownership received on February 15, 2005, we are
hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to White Rock Farms, LLC,
authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application
system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Twin Oaks Farm, located in Anson County, with an animal capacity of no
greater than an annual average of 2,478 Farrow o Wean swine and the application to land as specified
in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWNIW). If this is a Farrow to Wean or
Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary,
they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a
rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows.
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2009, and shall hereby void
Certificate of Coverage Number AWSO40033 dated October 22, 2004, and shall be subject to the
conditions and limitations as specified therein. Pursuant to this COC, you are authorized and required to
operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as specified in the General Permit,
the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required
monitoring data and operational information must be established for this facility. Any increase in waste
production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this
COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and this COC and must be
completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Since this is a revised State
General Permit, it contains new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained in the
previous State General Permit. Enclosed for your convenience is a package containing the new and
revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please pay careful attention to the record keeping
and monitoring conditions in this permit.
If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, careful evaluation
of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is
inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed.

Dan/Hope Farm
Swine Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Anson County
On April 28, 2003, the North Carolina General Assembly ratified Senate Bill 733 which directs the
Division of Water Quality (Division) to extend the expiration date of the Swine Waste Operation General
Permit AWG I00000. Therefore, the General Permit has been re -issued by the Division to extend the
expiration date to October 1, 2004. During the period of this extension the Division will be working with
all interested parties on the development of a new version of the Non -Discharge General Permit.
In accordance with your application received on November 14, 2002 and in accordance with the directive
of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Larry
Carlson, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land
application system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000. The issuance of this COC
supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWSO40033 which expired on April 30, 2003.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Dan/Hope Farm, located in Anson County, with an animal capacity of no
greater than an annual average of 2478 Farrow to Wean swine and the application to land as specified in
the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMW). If this is a Farrow to Wean or
Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary,
they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a
rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until October 1, 2004. Pursuant to this COC, you
are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as
specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting
and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this
facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number
of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and
this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, careful evaluation
of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is
inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed.
The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property.

Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit
documentation to the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to restocking
of the facility.
Per NRCS standards a 100 foot separation shall be maintained between water supply wells and any
lagoon or any wetted area of a spray field.
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the General Permit
or the CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance with NCGS 143-
215.6A through 143-215.6C including civil penalties, criminal penalties, and injunctive relief.
If you wish to continue the activity permitted under the General Permit after the expiration date of the
General Permit, an application for renewal must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration.
This COC is not automatically transferable. A name/ownership change application must be submitted to
the Division prior to a name change or change in ownership.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this COC are unacceptable, you have the right to
apply for an individual permit by contacting the staff member listed below for information on this
process. Unless such a request is made within 30 days, this COC shall be final and binding.
This facility is located in a county covered by our Fayetteville Regional Office. The Regional Office
Water Quality Staff may be reached at (910) 486-1541. If you need additional information concerning
this COC or the General Permit, please contact Duane Leith at (919) 733-5083 ext. 370.

Narrative
The following excerpt is copied from the previous waste utilization plan:
The Dan Hope farm is a Farrow-Weanling Cargill operation certified in 1995. Plan was updated to
correct for "wettable acre determination". Acres used are from those from wettable acre determination by
Gra-Mac Distributing Company. Yields are from Realistic Yield Expectations for Soils of North
Carolina and Guidance Document. Waste Generation Figures are from 1997-2000 waste analysis records
and producer pumping records, (records and summary are included) as part of this plan. Fields 2, 3, 4 are
changed to Hybrid Bermuda and are scheduled to be sprigged in 2001. Follow soil test or NC AQ
Chemical Manual for establishment fertilization rates. Total PAN to apply based on established crop.
Application dates are updated to reflect fastest recommendations given in 7th Guidance Document.
These dates inlcude 30 days prior to planting and greenup of Hybrid Bermudaarass. Application window
for fescue does not allow for N application in .tune, July, December, or January. Field numbers match
drawing for wettable acre dtermination.
NEW NOTES:
The animal numbers are revised to 2178 sows and 300 gilts. This is what the company have ran for some
time and decided with new regulations that they should update the Waste Utilization Plan. All yields and
application amounts are the same as former plan. in this software a user defined source had to be
established. There is no information in NRCS technical guide on gilts. This plan being based on
producer pumping records and waste analysis records established the source with a total number of
animals at 2478_ The 2.35 PAN/1000 gals was computed to be 563 ppm for use in establishing Total
Nitrogen as follows:
0.5 Total nitrogen coefficient
2.35/0.5 = 4.7pounds/1000 gals Total Nitrogen
4.7 x 27.154/1000 gals/acre inch = 127.62 Pounds/acre inch
127.62 / 0.2266 ppm/acre inch = 563.19
i ...
Yields remained the same with Nitrogen rate the same as old plan at 50 pounds/ton vield. Nitrogen rate
for overseeded annual ryegrass dropped to 1 ton @ 509/ton for overseeded crop. The new plan accepts
the default application windows as provided in North Carolina Nutrient Management software and the 7th
guidance document.
NOTES CONCERNING ANNUAL RYEGRASS OV"ERSEED
Nitrogen application to ryegrass overseed should be cotripletep by March. If Nitrogen application is
applied to rvegrass in April-Mav, the PAN rate for hybrid bermuda must be reduced by a corresponding
amount. This is necessary because rvegrass growth during April-Mav will reduce bermuda vields and
shorten the time bermuda can fully utilize the Nitrogen.

The Irrigation Application Factors for each field in this plan are shown in the following table. Infiltration
rate varies with soils. If applying waste nutrients through an irrigation system, you must apply at a rate that
will not result in runoff. This table provides the maximum application rate per hour that may be applied to
each field selected to receive wastewater. It also lists the maximum application amount that each field may
receive in any one application event_

The following Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization table provides an estimate of the number of acres needed for
sludge utilization for the indicated accumulation period. These estimates are based on average nitrogen
concentrations for each source, the number of animals 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 of the 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 of sludge 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 of copper 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.

The Available Waste Storage Capacity table provides an estimate of the number of days of storage capacity
available at the end of each month of the 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. If the 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.

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
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,
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 dishing 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).
Preview Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 1115102 Specification Page 1
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.
g. 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 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.
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.
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.
Preview Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 1 U5/02 Specification Page 2
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.). 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.
Preview Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: i 115/02 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.

Crap Notes
The following crop note applies to field(s): 2, 3, 4
Bermudagrass: Piedmont
Adaptation: Moderate to Well -adapted.
In the Piedmont, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar_ I 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 Ieast 40 bu/ac in 1.5' to 2' rows spaced 1' 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/ac N annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts.
Winter -kill is a frequent problem in the Upper Piedmont; Coastal is not adapted there. Tifton 44 is the
most cold -hardy cultivar. 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 information or consult
your regional agronomist or extension agent for assistance.
The following crop note applies to field(s): 1, 5
Fescue: Piedmont
Adaptation: Well -adapted.
In the Piedmont, tall fescue can be planted Aug. 20 to Oct. 10 (best) and Feb. 15 to Mar. 20. For
pure -stand broadcast seedings use 20 to 30 lb/ac., for drilled use 15 to 20 lb/ac. seed. Use certified seed to
avoid introducing weeds or annual ryegrass. Plant seed 0.25" to 0.5" deep for pure stands, 0.25" in
mixture with clovers. Soil test for preplant and maintenance lime, phosphorus, and potassium
recommendations. Apply 40 to 60 ib/ac nitrogen at planting for pure stands only. Do not apply Ni for
mixtures with clovers but use proper legume inoculation techniques. Apply 150 to 200 lb/ac. N to
pure -stand fescue for hay production. reduce N rates by 25% to 50% for grazing. Apply N Feb. 1 to Mar.
20 and Aug. 20 to Sept. 30, with equal amounts in each window. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305
Production and Utilization of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for additional information or
consult your regional agronomist or extension anent for assistance.

Subject: Notification for Wettable Acre Determination
Animal Waste Management System
Dan/Hope Farm
Facility Number 4-33
Anson County
A letter dated January 15, 1999 was sent to advise you about concerns associated with Certified Animal
Waste Management Plans and the method by which the irrigated acres within the plans were calculated. Only
the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application- Any
acreage within the plan that can not be reached by waste application equipment can not be used as part of your
plan.
An evaluation by Bob Heath on 3/30/99 was made to review the actual number of acres at your facility
that receive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of the
following two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X".
Category 1:
❑ The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please
contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Bob Heath the necessary
information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre
determination. Please submit this information to Bob Heath, at 225 Green Street, Suite
714, Fayetteville, NC 28301, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you have any
questions please contact Bob Heath at (910) 486-1541. If within 90 days you are unable
to provide Bob Heath with the information you are automatically required to complete
a Wettable Acre Determination as described by Category 2 below, within 180 days
of receipt of this letter.

Category 2:
j� Your facility has been identified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
as a facility that may have overestimated the number of acres actually receiving animal
waste. Therefore, some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates
set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him
or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must
be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct
Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension
Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation
Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special
designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this
designation, or a Professional Engineer.
All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and
the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be returned to DWQ within the next
180 days. if the needed modifications are not made and if the form is not returned within the
required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility
into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation,
and/or injunctive relief.
Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable
Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please
note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all
the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan
must be kept at your facility. DWQ and the Division of Soil & Water Conservation Staff will
review all documentation during their annual visit of your facility. An additional copy must by
kept on file at the local Soil & Water Conservation District Office. Please note that if you install
or modify your irrigation system, a designated Irrigation Specialist or a Professional Engineer
must also sign the Wettable Acre Determination Certification.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement_
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Sonya Avant of our
Central Office staff at (919) 733-5083 ext. 571.
Sincerely,
Kerr T. Stevens

BROWN CREEK Soil Water Consel on District I IYatund Resources Conservation Service
WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Animal waste must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water and/or groundwater.
i
Plant nutrients in animal waste should be used to reduce amounts of commercial fertilizer required for crops (in
the fields where the waste is 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.
C I
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize fertilizer value of
animal waste; and, to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based
vrn
:
on crop needs'and nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil.
types are important... 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
r
per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre
tV -!, T?•
per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the soil surface is frozen. Any of
-0
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 reduce the potential for pollution, waste should be applied to a growing crop,
tor_,.
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.
Estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste are based on typical nutrient content for the above opera-
tion. Actual acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management
facility. Attached you will find information on proper techniques for sampling, preparing, and transfering waste
to the lab for analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance.with 15A NCAC 2H.0217
adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN.
This information is provided (by soil type and crop) to help plan and evaluate waste irrigation schedules. These figures represent optimum
irrigation rates to meet crop water creeds and prevent water run-off.

NOTES
1). The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of
sludge at agronomic rates. Sludge will be nutrient rich and require precautionary
measures to prevent over application of nutrients and/or other elements.
2). Refer to Waste Storage Facility DesignP'As Built" Drawings for amount of temporary
storage time, start pumping elevation & stop pumping elevation.
Contact the BROWN CREEK Soil & Water- Conservation District _ Natural Resources
Conservation Service (formerly the Soil Conservation Service) Office in Wadesboro, (704)
694-2710, when you receive a waste analysis report. Request assistance calculating=
allowable application rates and amounts prior to applying waste.
Figures provided are estimates of waste production... excess wash water or run-off (if any) may increase waste volume.
This is a new Cargill Sow operation with 400 head gilt development floor.
Landowner is aware that he is close on acreage and is negotiatiing with paper company to utilize waste on
planted pines adjacent to site for a acreage buffer. He also has option to clear more land if needed.
Acreage For field 1 is estimate based on lines on FSA map and estimated facility size.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the slate by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct applica-
tion or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water
is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject too assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of
Environmental Management 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 on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to
properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement (sample enclosed) with
a landowner within reasonable proximity, allowing use of their land for waste application for the life expectance of
the production facility. The owner of the animal facility is responsible for securing an updated Waste Utilization
Plan when there is a change in the operation.... such as increased animal numbers, method of waste utilization, or
change in available land for waste utilization.
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 of other nutrients.
Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conserve
ation 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 fields. These filter strips are in addition to "Buffers"
required by DEM. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips & Standard 390 (Interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers.]
Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied
when the wind is blowing.
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 "{feather & Climate in North Carolina" in
NRCS Field Office Technical Reference File - ENVIRONMENT 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 ...to maintain uniform application, and control conditions conducive to odor and flies.
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 no more than 20 to 25 percent of
the leaf area is covered.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential far
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 a crop
on bare soil.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters
that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. (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 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 a discharge or by over -
spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land
land application site by -a "technical specialist". Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that
discharge directly into water courses, and only then at agronomic rates provided the application causes no run-
off or drill from the site.
Ib. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into
the animal waste management system.
17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum operating level to provide
adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to the one ( I ) foot mandatory freeboard.
18. 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.
19. 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.
20. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent break-
downs, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site.
