The waste from your animal facdity must be lau 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 sod 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
*n.�xinv. a 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 acre per
year_ Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is
frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not
allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift
and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of 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

NOTE: The applicator is cautioned that P and K maybe over applied while meeting the N
requirementL Beginning in 1996 the Coastal Zone Management Act will require farmers in
some eastern counties of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses

Your facility is designed for Jays of temporary storage and the temporary storage
must be removed on the average of once every__ _ ,5 MONTHS. In no instance should
the volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation ; .14e
Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly So it onstrvation
Service) or Soil and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste
analysis report for assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper
application rate prior to applying the waste.

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
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 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 waste, he/she shall
provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable
proximity, allowing him/her the use of the laud for waste application. It is the
resp onsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization
Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals,
method ofutilimfion, or available land_
3_ Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic
crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions,
and level of management unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of
application 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 that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons
per acre per year providiag grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field_
(See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strip).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland... When applied to conservation tilled
crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not
occur during a season prone to flooding. (See `Weather and Climate in North
Carolina" 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 or flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.

(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. 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 rninirmim and a sortable 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 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).
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 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

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 preplant with no further applications of
animal waste during the crop season.
21. I3rghly 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 59 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least
annually at crop sites where waste products are applied Nitrogen shall be the rate -
determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and
alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels_ pH
shall be adjusted for optimum crop production 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 records for all other waste
shall be maintained for five (5) years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manger that meets North Carolina regulations_

System Calibration
Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operation
conditions with relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application rates
change over time as equipment gets older and components wear. In particular,
pump wear tends to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use,
nozzle wear results in an increase in the nozzle opening which will increase the
discharge rate while decreasing the wetted diameter.
You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the
design will alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently the
application uniformity. For example, operating the system with excessive pressure
results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the
sprinkler nozzle. Clogging of nozzles can result in pressure increase. Plugged
intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure. Operating
below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application
uniformity.
For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to
ensure proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every
three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at
several locations in the application area. Any number of containers can be used to
collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because
they already have a graduated scale from which to read the application amount
without having to perform additional calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets,
jars, or anything with a uniform opening and cross-section can be used provided
the liquid collected can be easily transferred to a scaled container for measuring.
For stationary sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly
throughout the application area at several distances from sprinklers. For traveling
guns, sprinklers should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direction
of pull. Set out collection containers 25 feet apart along the transect on both
sides of the gun cart. You should compute the average application rate for all
nonuniformity of the application. On a windless day, variation between containers
of more than 30 percent is cause for concern. You should contact your irrigation
dealer or technical specialist for assistance.

OPERATION & ANCE PLAN
Proper lagoon liquid management should be a year-round priority. It is especially
important to manage levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and
wet periods.
Maximum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the
receiving crop is dormant (such as wintertime for bermudagrass) or when there are
extended rainy spells such as the thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means
.that at the first signs of plant growth in the later winter/early spring, irrigation according to
a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the land is dry enough to
receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet
periods. In the late summer/early fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the low
marker (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage_ Every effort should be made to
n=inwin the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as -long as the weather and waste
utilization plan will allow it.
Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before starting to
irrigate does not Ieave room for storing excess water during extended wet periods. _
Overflow from the lagoon for any reason except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of
state law and subject to penalty action.
The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following:
Maintenance of a vegm etative cover for the darn.
Fescue or common bermudagrass are the most common vegetative
covers. The vegetation should be ferdliized each year, if -needed, to
maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fertilizer applied should be
based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not practical to obtain
a soils test each year, the lagoon erribankment and surrounding areas
should be fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or
equivalent.
Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may be
done by mowing, spraying, grazing, chopping, or a combination of
these practices. This should be done at least once a year and
possibly twice in years that weather conditions are favorable for
heavy vegetative growth.
NOTE: If vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to enter
the lagoon water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating
the waste.
Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of
the lagoon and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. Items to be
checked should include, as a minimum, the following:
Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes —look for.
1. separation of joints
2. cracks or breaks
3. accumulation of salts or minerals
4. overall condition of pipes

Lagoon surface —look for:
I. undesirable vegetative growth
2. floating or lodged debris
Embankment —look for:
1. settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes
2. side slope stability --slumps or bulges
3. wet or damp areas on the back slope
4. erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result of wave action
5. rodent damage
Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong
wands. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon dam.
A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action. If
wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffles in the.lagoon may be
used to reduce the wave impacts.
Any of these features could Iead to erosion 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 Iagoons. You may need to provide a temporary -fix if there is a threat
of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the
technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious
undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless
recommended by an appropriate technical expert.
Transfer Pumps heck for proper operation of.
I. recycling 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 in need or repair or
replacement.
NOTE: Pumping systems should be instated and operated frequently enough so that you_
are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform your -pumping
system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This will allow 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. Probably, if your lagoon is full,
your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an inventory of spare
parts or pumps.
Surface water diversion features are designed to tarry all surface
drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets,
and parking Iot runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste
treatment or storage structures. The only water that should be
coming from your lagoon is that which comes from your flushing
(washing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon directly.
You should inspect your diversion system for the following:
1. adequate vegetation
2. diversion capacity
3. ridge berm height

Idratified problerns should be corrected promptly_ It is advisable to inspect your sys=
duung or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assis=ce is needed to
det=mine proper solutions, consult with appropriam exp=Ts.
You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then
xecaxd the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This wM
gave you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount
(you must also -be recording your rai1fkU for this to work). Knowing this should help in
planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may
have an inflow problem from a s,ra-c- water diversion or there may be seepage into the
Iagoon from the surrounding land.
Lagoon Operation
I. Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil
sur = to avoid erosion.
2. Fill new lagoon design tr a=ent volume at least half full of water before
waste Ioading begins, talnng care not to erode lining or bank slopes.
3. Dnmpines into the Loon would have a flexible nice extender on the
end oz tine pipe to discina.ge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial
Ellin g or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of
the lining.
4: When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the sprung to maxb i -
bacterial establishment (duz to wanner weather).
5. It is r=mmended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy
working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 pe r-e nt of the full.laggoon
liquid volume. This seeding should oc :our at least two was prior to the
addition of wastewater.
6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid oH. If the pH falls below
7.0, add agricultural lime -at the rate of I pound per 1000 cubic fect of
lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon lisrziicl
PH is between 7.5 and $.0_
7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadetluate
biological activity. Consultation with a technical soeciaiist is recommended
if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, emec ally during the warm
Season.
The more fieQuently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the betterthe
lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily am
optimum for treannent_ Pit re4.harge sysmms, in which one or more buildings are drained_
and recharged each day, also work well.

Star irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring based on
nutrient requirements and soil moisture so that temporary storage
will be maximized for the summer thunderstorm s=on. Similarly,
imgate in the late summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon

Prequ dy remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or
wherever they are installed.
Maintain strict vegetation, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges.
Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embanimr-at
Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage cgxu=p is
full or before it fills 50 per=t of the permanent storage volume.
If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for
obtaining and implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility of a.
pollutant discharge.
Sludge Removal:
Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduc:d by:

proper lagOOi! Srz]IIg,
mechanical solids s.-oaranon of flushed waste,
gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed bass, or
minimi.gng feed wastage and spillage.
Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will:
have more nutrients,
have more odor, and
require more land to properly use the nutrients.
Removal to :hniaues:
Hire a custom applicaror.
Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper agitator impeller
pump through large -bore sprinkier irrigadon system onto nearby cropland;
and soil inCOMOrate.
Dewater the upper par of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
io,-ageland; mix renrailting sludge; pump into liquid sludge applirtor, haul
and spread onto cropland or forageiand; and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by L=:gation onto nearby cropland or
foazeland; dredge sludge from lagoon with drziine or sludge barge; b--m
an area beside lagoon to re; ve the sludge so that liquids can dram back
into lagoon; allow sludge to dewater-, haul and spread with manure spmad-r
onto cropland or fo.-ageland; and soil incorporate.
Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge mat_—ial ana.iyzed for waste
constituents j= as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different
nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The apDli:adon of the sludge to fields will -be
limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field and crop
requirement_ Waste application rates will be discuses in detail in Chanter 3.
When removing sludge, you must also tray attention to the liner to prevent damage. Close
attention by the pumper or drag -litre orator will e.-isure that the lz oon liner remains
intact- If you see soil material or the svnthetic liner mate-iai being disturbed, you should
stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are Sure that the sludge can be
removed without liner injury. If the .liner is damaged it roust be repaired as soon as
possible.
Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and.heavy metal content
than liquid_ Bemuse of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus
and metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incaivorated to reduce the chance of
erosion_ Note that if the sludge is applied to fields With very high soil -test phosphores, it:
should. be applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other
wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value.
The application of sludge will incr2se the amount or odor at the waste application site_
Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which
could inc,,—,= the concern of neighbors.

Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure
Lagoon failures refit in the unplmmed discharge of wastewater from the struc=e. Types
of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of the
dares. Asmmdng, proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for
easuxing sau== safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures include:
Modification of the lagoon an example is the phu vent of a pipe -
in the dam without proper design and construction. (Consult.an expert in
lagoon design before placing any pipes in darns-)
Lagoon liquid levels —high levels. are a safety risL
Failure to inspect and maintain the dam_
Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon -
Liner integity—protect from inletpipe scouring, damage during sludge
removal, or rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater
table.
NOTE- If lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving waterwill soon cause
gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly. cause a large discharge
of wastewater and possible dam failure.

Swine Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Bladen County
Dear Murphy Farms:
On March 14, 2003,.the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) issued an NPDES General
Permit for swine facilities. The General Permit was issued to enable swine facilities in North Carolina to
obtain coverage under a single permit that addresses both State and Federal requirements.
In accordance with your application received on February 13, 2003, we are hereby forwarding to you this
Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Murphy Farms, authorizing the operation of the subject animal
waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with NPDES General
Permit NCA200000. The issuance of this COC supercedes and terminates your COC Number
AWS090027 to operate under State Non -Discharge Permit AWG100000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Evergreen Sow, located in BladenCounty, with an animal capacity of no greater
than an annual average of 400 Wean to Feeder, 1000 Feeder to Finish, 3500 Farrow to Wean swine and
the application to land as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP).
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 July 1, 2007. 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 General Permit. Since this is a new joint State and
Federal general permit it contains many new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained
in the current 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 The Devices to Automatically _Stop Irrigation Events Form
must be returned to the Division of Water Quality no later than 120 days following receipt of the
Certificate of Coverage. The Animal Facility Annual Certification Form must be completed and returned
to the Division of Water Quality by no later than March 1st of each year.

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 15A NCAC 2H .0225(c) a compliance boundary is provided for the facility and no new water supply
wells shall be constructed within the compliance boundary. 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, the Clean Water Act and 40 CFR 122.41 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 namelownership 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 NPDES 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 [phone]. If you need additional information concerning
this COC or the General Permit, please contact Sue Homewood at [phone] ext. 502.

(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
2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

*This N is from animal waste only. If nutrients from other sources such as commercial fertilizer are
applied, they must be accounted for. N must be based on realistic -yield expectation.
NOTE. The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N
requirements. Beginning in 1996 the Coastal Zone Management Act will require farmers in some
eastern counties of North Caroline to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients.
This plan only addresses Nitrogen.

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 properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy 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 number of animals, method of utilization, or available land.
3 Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop
yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level
of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application 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 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).
5 Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field.
6 When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated
on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland,
the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season
prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.)
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 or flies.
8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.

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 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.
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 feast 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).
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 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 into water
courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a
manner that courses no runoff or drift from the site.
16 Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall
not be discharged into the animal waste management system.

17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas
(lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). 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 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
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 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 records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years.

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 will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.

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 interplanted 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 definately 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.

Based on information submitted with the facility's Animal Facility Annual Certification Form,
the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) is requesting additional information related to the annual
average of animals for the year 2004.
The Certificate of Coverage (COC) NCA209027 of your NPDES Permit states:
"This approval shall consist of the operation of this system, including, but not limited to,
the management of animal waste from the Evergreen Sow located in Bladen County, with
an animal capacity of no greater than an annual average of 400 Wean to Feeder,1000
Feeder to Finish, 3500 Farrow to Wean swine and the application to land as specified in
the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). 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 unnecessary, 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 Division received your annual certification form on March 1, 2005. On that form, you
indicated that your annual average was 358 Wean to Feeder, 908 Feeder to Finish, and 3794
Farrow to Wean. This exceeds the annual average specified in your COC of 400 Wean to
Feeder, 1000 Feeder to Finish, and 3500 Farrow to Wean. To avoid possible enforcement action
for a violation of your permit, please submit the facility's stocking records for the year 2004

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 will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
1 of 8

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.

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 interplanted fields ( i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermude), 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 definately 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.

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 3328.8 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 16644 pounds of plant
available nitrogen to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bennuda grass hayland at the
rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 55 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge
to cam at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 133.152 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 property 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.

NUTRIENT 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.
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
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 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.

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 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 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.

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.

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 will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
1 of 8

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.

Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate
equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
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: 65.44
Total N Required 1st Year. 21455.95
Total N Required 2nd Year. 0
Average Annual Nitrogen Requirement of Crops: 21,455.95
Total Nitrogen Produced by Farm: 21,392.00
Nitrogen Balance for Crops: (63.95)
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.

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 interplanted 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 definately 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.

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 3328.8 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 16644 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 55 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge
to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 133.152 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.

NUTRIENT 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.
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 property dispose of the waste, heJshe 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, recievinq 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 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.

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 planted crops on soils
with a high potential for leaching. Wastelnutrient 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.

NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRE© 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.

DEC, 2 7 2006
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,
0
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
0 M less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established.
"' Q° i"�i 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen.
a � 6 Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed
� 1' C� 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 will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
1 of 8

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.

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 interplanted 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 definately 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 limes 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.

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 3328.8 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 16644 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 55 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge
to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 133.152 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 lime 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 fool 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.
i 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.

NUTRIENT 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.
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
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 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.

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 fail 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 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.

(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.

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 will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
1 of 8

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.

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 interplanted fields ( i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bennuda), 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 definately 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.

Acres shown in the preceding table are considered to be the usable acres excluding
required buffers, filter strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas
not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the fields
listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables.

in the lagoon sludge
Farm Specifications PAN/animal Farm Totaltyr
3500 Farrow to Wean 0.84 2940

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 3328.8 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 166" 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 55 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge
to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 133.152 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.

APE 0 6 2009
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 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, recievinq crop type, or available land.
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, MRCS 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).
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.
Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.

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 planted crops on soils
with a high potential for leaching. Wastelnutrient 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.

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.

Dear Permittee:
In accordance with Condition II1.19 of State General Permit AWG100000, your facility is
required to maintain compliance regarding sludge accumulation in your animal waste treatment
lagoon(s). As you know, the previous compliance limit was to have a minimum of four (4) feet
of treatment depth between the designed stop pump and the average elevation of the top of the
sludge blanket. This requirement was based on NRCS Standard No. 359, which was recently
modified.
As of July 2008, Standard No. 359 does not use the 4-foot requirement. Sludge compliance is
now to be based on the sludge volume as a percentage of the total treatment volume. The revised
Standard states that sludge accumulation in the permanent treatment zone must be less than 50%
of the planned treatment volume. Also, there must be a minimum of 2.5 feet of liquid above the
sludge at the pump intake location. If either of these conditions is not met then sludge must be
removed or managed in accordance with an approved Plan of Action for Lagoon Sludge
Reduction (POA). A new sludge survey worksheet has been developed to calculate sludge and
treatment volumes to determine compliance.
Our records indicate that you have filed a Sludge POA for one or more of the lagoons at your
facility. Based on the changes to the sludge requirements in Standard No. 359, your lagoon(s)
may already be in compliance without any sludge removal. Using your lagoon design (or as -
built information) and current sludge survey measurements, complete the NEW sludge survey
worksheet. If you have any difficulty in locating or understanding your lagoon design
information, please contact your technical specialist or county Sol] & Water office.

Dear Farm Owner:
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study
Commission on Agricultural Waste, enacted by the 1996 North Carolina General Assembly,
requires a certified operator for each animal waste management system that serves 250 or more
swine by January 1, 1997. The owner of each animal waste management system must submit a
designation form to the Technical Assistance and Certification Group which designates an
Operator in Charge and is countersigned by the certified operator. The enclosed form must be
submitted by January 1, 1997 for all facilities in operation as of that date. Failure to designate a
certified operator for your animal waste management system is a violation of 15A NCAC 2H
.0224 and may result in the assessment of a civil penalty.
If you have questions concerning operator training or examinations for certification, please
contact your local North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service agent or our office.
Examinations have been offered on an on -going basis in many counties throughout the state for
the past several months and will continue to be offered through December 31, 1996.
Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions concerning this requirement please
call Beth Buffington or Barry Huneycutt of our staff at 919n33-0026.

As required by your agencies freeboard guidance document dated 1/31 /2000, this letter is
intended to outline a plan of action aimed at lowering the lagoon levels of the Evergreen
Farm to levels adequate for both structural stability and a 25 year, 24 hour storm.
We have approximately 80 acres of small grain overseed available for irrigation at this
time. PAN balances for the fields to be used show that we still have 25 % of our 120 lb.
target available. When field conditions improve, we will begin making frequent, light
applications to the small grain. If the current weather conditions continue, we should be
able to lower the lagoon level to below minimum requirements within 30 days.
If there are any questions or concerns, please call me at [phone] ext. 4556 or John

Animal Waste Operation
Bladen County
Dear Murphy Family Farms:
The Non -Discharge Permitting Unit has completed a preliminary review of the subject permit
application. Additional information is required before we can continue our review. The following
components were missing from your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan:
1) The Lagoon Design Requirements (include hazard classification)
2) The Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) for this facility lists a yield of 5.5 tons of Bermuda grass
hay per acre on 45 acres of Lakeland soil. NRCS Realistic Yield Expectations (R.Y.E.)
lists a yield of 4.5 tons of Bermuda grass hay per acre for Lakeland soil. An Operational
Review conducted by the Division of Soil and Water Conservation on September 15, 1997
indicates that this facility had not been certified and that no animal waste management plan
existed at the time of the review. Since this yield is not from an existing plan, please
provide justification for the increased yields produced off Tract 1185, Field 2C.
All revisions / amendments are required to be signed and dated by both the landowner, manager
(if applicable) and the Technical Specialist before they are submitted for review. Please reference the
subject permit application number when providing the requested information. All information should be
signed, sealed, and submitted in duplicate to my attention at the address below. The information
requested by this letter must be submitted on or before May 20,1998 or the Division will return your
application as incomplete in accordance with 15A N.C.A.C. 2H .0200 and your facility will be
considered to be operating without a permit.

Please be advised that operation of the subject animal waste management system without a valid
permit is a violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and will subject you to the enforcement
authority of the Environmental Management Commission.

In accordance with your application_ received on April 2, 1998, we are forwarding this Certificate
of Coverage (COC) issued to Murphy Family Farms, 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 Evergreen Sow Farm, located in Bladen County, with an
animal capacity of no greater than 400 Wean to Feeder, 1000 Feeder to Finish and 3500 Farrow to Wean

as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC, with no discharge of wastes to
surface waters. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and
operational information must be established for this farm. Any increase in waste production greater than
the certified design capacity or increase in number of stocked animals above the number authorized by
this COC will require a modification to the CAWMP and this COC and shall be completed prior to actual
increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
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

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 9-27
Bladen County
This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PANT)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. I RI, EMU, DRY1, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR1, SLUR2,
SLDI, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review_ The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
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 Ms. Sonya Avant of the
DWQ staff at [phone] ext. 571.

Mr. Grady Dobson

225 Green Street
Suite 714
Fayetteville, NC 28301
Mr. Dobson,
Murphy Family Farms is planning some modifications to the Evergreen
Farm in Bladen County to enhance overall operation of the farm. There will be
no increase in animals or steady state live weight at this farm. Mr. Dennis
Bullard, Bladen County Building Inspector has requested verification from you
that no expansion will occur before permits can be issued.
We plan to move transfer switches from each individual building to
central locations. This will allow operation of all buildings with a generator in one
location instead of having to move the generator to every building when power
outages occur as we must currently do.
The housing of bred sows will also be changed from pens with multiple
animals to individual stalls. This will require extending two gestation buildings
approximately 130 feet on the high end.
ff you have further questions about our plans, please call me at 800-311-
9458 ext 4523.
Thank you for cooperation in this matter.

Memorandum:
To: Dennis Bullard
From: Robert Heath
SUBJECT: Evergreen Farm Addition
Dear Mr. Bullard:
The subject facility has requested an enlargement of two of the gestation
buildings to allow for the placement of individual stalls or crates rather than
the present multiple pens arrangement. According to Mr. Pat Barrow
(Construction Manager) with Murphy Farms there will be no increase in
animals or live weight as a result of this modification and therefore would
not be considered an expansion.
If I can be of further assistance in this matter, please contact me at (9I 4)
486-1541.
