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 apptiration 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: 4.- 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.

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 conditiankmay 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.

The appiicatnc I_s cautioned that Rand K may -be -aver -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 m May). Shading may result if small grain LgetSjoo high and this will definitely, interfere with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced.yieids and less dtroogen 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 .LwQ to three times during the season. depending on the time small grain is planted in the fall. The ideal time to intarplant smaA grain; etc; is tate September or early October: Orilling_is recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or out to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results. CROP CODE LEGEND Crop Code A B C .D . .. E .F G. I .J K. l- ..

Actual values may only be determined by sampling the sludge for plant available nitrogen content prior to application Actual utilizations rates.will vary with soil type, crop, and realistic yieidexpectations 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 llstliled by initial soil moisture content, sail structure, soil texture, water. droplet size. and.organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the arvallabla water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irri afion 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 ttierecommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. 'This is -the maximwnappiication amount allowed for the sat assuming the amount of nitrogen. allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations, the application amount shown- cannot be appliedbecause- of the nitrogen UmitatlorL Tbamaximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions. Your facility isdesigned tot >1W 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 w4hin the. 25 yeas 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 thatthe spreader equipmeAt 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.

This review, undertaken in accordance with G.S. 143-215.10D, is one of two routine site visits scheduled for all subject animal operations in 2004. Staff from the Division of Water Quality will conduct a separate compliance inspection. During the operation review, the following item was noted: The 2003 1 2004 small grain crop had been cut in May, but it was not baled or removed from the spray fields. Apparently, the person who cut the small grain refused to bale and remove it. Waste was applied to 2003 1 2004 small grain on pull 2 (according to IRR-2 records) of field 2 at 49.6 lbs. P.A.N./acre. Thirty pounds of this nitrogen should be credited to the 2004 bermuda crop, therefore, leaving an over application amount of 19.6 lbs. P.A.N./acre. Since waste was applied to pull 2 from both Bilbrey Farm #1 and Bilbrey Farm #2, the over application applies to both farms. The over applied amount was greater than 10% allowed by the waste plan and require a notice of referral to the Division of Water Quality. It was for this reason that your operations were referred to the Division of Water Quality for further investigation and possible enforcement action. G.S. 143-215.10E requires staff from the Division of Soil and Water Conservation to notify the Division of Water Quality and the owner/operator of these observed violations. 225 Green Street, Suite 714 1 Systel Bld.

Applied 49.6 pounds per acre of nitrogen on pull 2 of field 2 on 2003/2004 small grain over seed. None of the small rain was harvested due to hay cutter refusing to bale small grain. Allowable nitrogen rate on small grain is 50 pounds of itrogen per acre. Subtract 30 pounds of nitrogen off allowable nitrogen rate for 2004 bermuda crop on IRR-2 records for ull 2. After subtracting 30 pounds off of the 2004 bermuda P.A.N. rate, there was a 19.6 pounds of nitrogen per acre over pplication. Bermuda has been bushogged and not harvested. Harvest all vegetation in the future. 5. Field 2 on new waste plan (dated 10/23/02) shows 3.76 acres for field 2. Wetted acres show 4.97 acres for field 2. Jetted acres and waste plan acres need to match. Acres under solid set system on field 2 need to be removed from waste Ian since the solid set system on field 2 has been disconnected. Some of this area may be able to be covered by the aveling gun system. See technical specialist for waste plan revision. 9. Need freeboard records for May, June of 2004. ote: Apply lime according to soil test recommendations. Be sure to soil sample all spray fields. 7. / 32. Always use valid waste samples on IRR-2 records. Waste samples are valid 60 days before and 60 days after d, f waste sample. Recalculate IRR-2 records for field 2 using 2.35 acres (not 2.55) and a nitrogen value of 2.4 pounds of itrogen per 1000 gallons for 2004 bermuda pumping that occurred in March, 2004. Recalculate IRR-2 records using new Paste sample nitrogen value for all pumping that occurred after 6/6/2004.. New waste sample should be taken soon. ;ecalculate IRR-2 records for field 1 (pull 1 = 2.62 acres) using a waste analysis value of 2.4 pounds of nitrogen per 1000 allons for 3/22/04 pumping on 2004 bermuda. Record dates on irrigation records. 5. Operate irrigation system according to wettable acre determination. The traveling gun should be operated at 70 psi at ie gun. Use a flow rate of 136 gpm on IRR-2 records for traveling gun. Operate solid set system at 45 psi at the sprinkler. Ise a flow rate of 12.3 gpm on IRR-2 records for solid set system. Follow pumping windows listed in waste plan. Credit pumping that occurred on 11/27/03 on pull 2 to 2003/2004 oats. Mow inside slope of lagoon. 1. Bermuda in spray fields is weak due to competition from weedy grasses and shading from unbaled small grain. Resprig ermuda as needed. Recommend contacting Rick Morris, NCDA Agronomist, for weed control recommendations a10-866-5485). Producer plans to aerate bermuda field. 5. Applied 33.25 pounds of nitrogen per acre to 2003/2004 oats on pull 1 that were not harvested due to hay cutter refusing bale crop. Subtract 30 pounds of nitrogen off of allowable nitrogen rate for 2004 bermuda crop on IRR-2 records for pull 1 ?.62 acres). lote: Subtract the nitrogen applied on solid set field 1 (21.7 Vs of N per acre) from allowable nitrogen rate for 2004 bermudc n solid set field 1. Do this since 2003/2004 oats were not harvested.

Bob Bilbrey Farm 1 LOCATION: SR 1777 Old Tram Rd. Clarkton, NC 28433 TELEPHONE: 910-645-4845 TYPE OPERATION: Wean - Feeder NUMBER OF ANIMALS: 2600 (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 fates, 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.

Your facility is designed for 18 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 waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation *see lagoon design. Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or Soil and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. Narrative of operation: This plan is intended to represent "wetted" acres on this farm_ Grower may graze land or cut for hay.

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 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.) 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. $ Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. Page 5 u��iz�azT�oNs� 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 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 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. Page 6 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced as necessary to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. 18 If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19 Waste handling structures, piping pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20 Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications 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. 23 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

Clarkton, NC 28433 TELEPHONE: 910-645-4845 TYPE OPERATION: Wean - Feeder NUMBER OF ANIMALS: 2600 (Design Capacity) The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient_ Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations_ Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 21-1.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. Page 1 9 Amount, of,Wastp..

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 waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation *see lagoon design. Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or Soil and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. Narrative of operation. This plan is written for "wetted" acres. The bermuda is to be grazed and any overseed is optional. The grower uses a combination of hard hose traveller and solid set system for irrigation. _T Page 4 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 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.) 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. Page 5 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 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 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. Page 6 �jUTI:IZ.�►T1��N PL�/1Nni; ram` REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced as necessary to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. 18 If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19 Waste handling structures, piping pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20 Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications 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. 23 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

Please review it carefully. Retain this plan for your use and records. It is strongly recommended that you, your contractor and Soil Conservation Service personnel are in agreement as to how the waste lagoon is to be constructed. SCS personnel will meet -with all concerned parties and walk over the site to explain all flags and markings. If further layout is required by the contractor than is provided, feel free -to contact us. It is important that everyone understand what is expected so that final construction/seeding meets plans and specifications for certification. As you requested, this design contains no added volume for sludge (solids) that will accumulate over time. Sludge will be removed as needed, however to maintain the efficient operation of the system. A review has been made of the site for cultural resources. None are apparent but you may wish to observe the excavation for possible finds. If so, contact our office. The actual amount of material required for pads and dam may vary from the estimates. The design will attempt to balance cuts and fills as close as possible. If additional material is required after constructicn is complete on the lagoon, the contractor and owner will negotiate on the price and location of borrow areas.

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 limirin 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 maximize the feztrlixer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe mariner. 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. Esher of these conditions may result in rnmoff 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 animas 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 2R0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Animal waste shall not reach suffice waters of the state by run4 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 land for waste application. It is the responsibility ofthe owner ofthe facility to secure an update ofthe Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utdization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed,, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soft 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- b. 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. REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continueco 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 mhNt 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 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. I L 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. Anal 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- vuMys. 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.

SERVICE CENTER, RALEIGH, NORTH CAROL.INA, 27699-1617 RECEIVED WATER QUALITY SN 10N toy •; 9 r4l@ System Calibration Non -Discharge Pem►ittit+S 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 cads 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. "Reprinted for Certification Training for Operations of Animal Waste Management Systems Manual OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN Proper lagoon 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 a thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means that at the first sign of plant growth in the later winter I early spring, irrigation according to a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the land in dry enough to receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet periods. In the late summer 1 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 maintain 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 irrigated does not leave 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 vegetative cover for the dam. Fescue or common bermudagrass are the most common vegetative covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year, if needed, to maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fertilized 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 embankment 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 stoma events. Items to be checked should include,. as a minimum, the following: Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes -- look for: I. separation of joints 2. cracks or breaks 3. accumulation of salts or minerals 4. overall condition of pipes 2 Lagoon surface -- look for: 1. 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 or 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 winds. 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 lead 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 lagoons. 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 -- check for proper operation of.- 1. 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 of repair or replacement. NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that you are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform your pumping system 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 carry afi surface drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets, and parking lot 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 Identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts. You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This will give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount (you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should Delp in planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may have an overflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the lagoon from the surrounding land. Lagoon Operation Startup: 1. Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil surfaces to avoid erosion. 2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before waste loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes. 3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender on the end of the pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial filling or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of the lining. 4. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather). 5. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full lagoon liquid volume. This seeding should occur at least two weeks prior to the addition of wastewater. 6_ Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below 7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of 1 pound per 1000 cubic feet of lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid pH is between 7.5 and 8.0. 7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate biological activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is recommended if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm season. Loading: The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the better the lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily are optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained and recharged each day, also work well. • Practice water conservation --- minimize building water usage and spillage from leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through proper maintenance and water conservation. 4 • Minimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This will reduce the amount of solids entering the lagoon. Management: r Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and the full temporary storage level. • Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the minimum liquid level and the maximum liquid level. (Figure 2-1). • Start 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 season. Similarly, irrigate in the late summer 1 early fall to provide maximum lagoon storage for the winter. • The lagoon liquid level should never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest point of the dam or embankment. • Don not pump the lagoon liquid level lower than the permanent storage level unless you are removing sludge. • Locate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid surface and as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible. • Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-stemmed forage or vegetation, molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon. • Frequently 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 embankment. • Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is full-ar before it fills 50 percent 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 reduced by: • proper lagoon sizing, • mechanical solids separation of flushed waste, • gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or • minimizing feed wastage and spillage. 5 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 techniques: • Hire a custom applicator. • Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper - agitator impeller pump through large - bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland; and soil incorporate. • Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or forageland; mix remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator, haul and spread onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate. • Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or forageland; dredge sludge from lagoon with dragline or sludge barge; berm an area beside lagoon to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back into lagoon; allow sludge to dewater, haul and spread with manure spreader onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate. Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The application 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 discussed in detail in Chapter 3. When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage. Close attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner remains intact. If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material 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 must be repaired as soon as possible. Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and heavy metal loontent than liquid. Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus and metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of erosion. Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil -test phosphors, 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 increase the amount of odor at the waste application site. Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which could increase the concern of neighbors. Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure Lagoon failures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure. Types of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of the dam. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for ensuring structure safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures include: Modification of the lagoon structure — an example is the placement of a pipe in the dam Without proper design and construction. (Consult an expert in lagoon design before placing any pipes in dams.) • Lagoon liquid levels -- high levels are a safety risk. • Failure to inspect and maintain the dam. • Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon. • Liner integrity — protect from inlet pipe 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 water will 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.
