This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of cropland needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake. This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or other by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each field in order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applie is included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation.

Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent. At clean out, this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases, the priority nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since nutrient levels are generally very high, application of sludge must be carefully applied. Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray fields should not be used for sludge application. If this is not possible, care should be taken not to load effluent application fields with high amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied_ On sites vulnerable to surface water moving to streams and lakes, phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a concern.

Available storage capacity is calculated as the design storage capacity in days minus the number of days of net storage volume accumulated. The start date is a value entered by the user and is defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or holding pond is equal to zero. Available storage capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the design storage capacity of the facility. If the available storage capacity is greaterthan the design storage capacity, this indicates that the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated. If available storage capacity is negative, the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design storage volume of the structure. Either of these situations indicates that the planned application interval in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the structure's temporary storage capacity.

Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste that reaches surface water is prohibited. 2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving crop type, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, MRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by 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). 827415 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 7/29/2004 Specification Page I 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. S. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the soil surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. 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 that 25 feet to perennial waters. 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 827415 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 7/29/2004 Specification Page 2 A 1 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided the fields have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 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. 827415 Database Version 3A Date Printed: 7/29/2004 Specification Page 3 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 soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. 827415 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 7/29/2004 Specification Page 4 /' Narrative OWNER HAS THE OPTION OF WRITER ANNUAL OVERSEED OF ANY AREA IN HYBRID BERMUDA HAY OR PASTURE AT AN ADDITIONAL 50 LB P.A.N.

The design shows that this site is capable of accommodating the proposed production facility in accordance with the infor- mation provided_ Further detail should be fumished at the time of equipment specifications with selected dealer. Accurate records should be maintained on the operating time and nutrient content for each irrigation event. The pressure at the pump, traveler, and gun should be recorded to maintain accurate application rates. Forms for recording data can be found in the North Carolina Certifi- cation Training for Operators of Animal Waste Systems Manual. Pumping should occur as much as possible during the daylight hours. Running at night should be avoided when possible. At the beginning of each operation the pressures need to be checked against the parameters as laid out in this design. If by some chance they do not match, shut down the system and make the proper adjustments. The specifications must be followed exactly to prevent runoff and ponding. Pumping should never occur during rainy periods or when the ground is saturated. The operator should be on site as much as possible during operation and it is imperative that he/she be present during the beginning and ending of pulls. It is also highly recommended to conduct annual calibrations of your equipment. With the data recorded at each operation and information provided in this design, the operator can take a few easy steps to ensure the system is operating as it was originally designed. Page 5 K APPLICATION OF WASTEWATER As stated above, the system will be installed to irrigate mostly Kenansville soils cropped with coastal bermuda hay and coastal bermuda pasture. Table 1 below shows information on the areas incorporated into the design. TABLE 1: FIELD SPECIFICATIONS Field ##, ane Slope Soil Type Crop Precip Rate Max App per Cycle Irrig.

However, it is recommended to limit depth to 0.5" to decrease the risk of runoff or ponding of wastewater. As described earlier, the Kenansville soil has a poor moisture holding capacity, so larger applica- tions could also result in nutrient movement through the root zone. If larger applications are made, the owner should insure that soil moisture conditions are favorable to allow infiltration and retention of the irrigated wastewater within the root zone of the present crop. The combina- tion of low precipitation rate and small applications should prevent any ponding or runoff from occurring, as long as other requirements are met (not applying to saturated or frozen soil, etc.). The length of the travel lane will determine the length of time required. Table 4 lists the estimated travel length and the respective time to complete each pull. Another application of wastewater should not be applied until the last amount of wastewater has been used through evapotranspiration. If no rainfall occurs, that will normally range from three to five days. This may vary depending on climate. Table 2 below details the irrigation operation for each traveler pull, or lane.

The original waste utilization plan was developed by Brown's of Carolina. As discussed in this report later, a new waste utilization plan (or nutrient management plan) has been developed by Swain Consulting Services, Inc. to correspond with this irrigation design, and to meet the requests of the owners. The annual plant available nitrogen (PAN) - produced by this particular operation will be approximately 3,072 pounds. The soil types on this farm in the areas of waste water application are primarily Kenansville fine sand, with a small area of Centenary. The Kenansvilleseries is a well drained Coastal Plain and terrace soil with a thick sandy surface layer. infiltration is rapid and surface runoff is slow. Permeability is moderately rapid, and available water capacity is low. Seasonal high water table is typically below 6 feet. The design irrigated precipitation rate is 0.6 inches per hour with cover crop, and the recommended application depth is 0.95 inches for summer perennials according to NRCS irrigation guidelines. The waste utilization plan includes a cropping system of coastal bermuda hay and pasture, with optional winter small grain overseeding. The total available acreage of the fields to be utilized on the A.SCS map is approximately 22 acres. The area at the ends and on the sides of the pulls will not receive uniform coverage during application. The area of the sides that is receiving effective irrigation is considered approximately 80 percent of the wetted radius of the chosen sprinkler. The ends are approximately 60 percent of the wetted radius of the chosen sprinkler. Where possible, a portion of the "ineffective" wetted area overlaps into adjacent wooded areas to allow uniform coverage to field edges. Based on the attached irrigation layout utilizing the specified equipment, approximately 15.9 acres can be effectively irrigated in the three fields to be utilized. The calculations made in the NMP show that the 15.9 acres of coastal bermuda hay and pasture will utilize 3,544 pounds of PAN annually. The plan is written to allow an option of including winter annual o_verseeding on all areas, although winter cropping is not required based on the nutrient balance. Overseeding will allow more flexibility in managing the wastewater by provid- ing an extended time period for allowable irrigation. The acreage used in the nutrient plan is based on effective wetted area from this design, so the irrigation design exceeds the require- ments of the waste utilization plan. The annual loading rates are approximately 275 pounds PAN per acre per year for the coastal hay, and 205 pounds per acre for the coastal used as pasture, with an opt�ddina 50 Hounds PAN per acre for the overseeded winter small grain_ There should be adequate storage to allow Page I time for application of waste water on the crops listed. The total amount of waste water that needs to be removed from the lagoon will vary based on the yearly rainfall amounts. Years where there is an unusually high rainfall amount, more water will need to be pumped on the spray fields. It is a good idea for the operators of this system to be familiar with average rainfalls for their particular regions. This can help in scheduling land applications. This infor- mation can be obtained at the local extension offices or at NC State University. In all cases, the volume of wastewater applied must not exceed the PAN balance, based on wastewater strength as determined by at least semi-annual analysis. Annual wastewater application is estimated as 1.9 million gallons, based on the lagoon design. A minimum buffer of 100 feet is observed from wells on the site. The design also accounts for required buffers from an adjacent residence (200') and property line of same (50'). Actual_field layout and installation of the system must verify these and other setback requirements. LAND APPLICATION SYSTEM Preliminary design layout and equipment specifications were in conjunction with the owner's requirements and take into account the owner's desire for a low-cost system. Recommended equipment includes the Ag-Rain Model E27A Hard Hose Traveler, equipped with 820 feet of 2.7 inch poly hose, and a Nelson SR100 end gun with a 0.8 inch taper bore nozzle, or equal. Equip- ment size and capacity are limited by site conditions, particularly width of fields, so any modifi- cation of equipment must be verified by the engineer for suitability. This system will require approximately 220 hours of pumping per year based on pumping volume estimates in the lagoon design. The arc angle of the sprinkler varies between pulls to allow maximum wetted area (see plan). As shown in the attached calculations, all settings are below the maximum specified application rate. Design of the system is based on operating the specified sprinkler at 60 psi, which is recom- mended for minimizing drift problems associated with higher pressures. The wetted diameter of the selected sprinkler is 280 feet and flow is 143 gallons per minute using a pressure at the sprin- kler of 60 psi. Using a lane spacing of 70% of wetted diameter yields a spacing of 196 feet, so 200 feet will be used The system should never be operated when wind speeds are greater than 10 mph and preferably less than 5 mph. A total of six (6) hydrants will be required on the farm. The longest travel distance is approxi- mately 765 feet (891 feet effective wetted length). Start and stop pull locations should be accurately flagged when the system is installed to insure that wetted area does not encroach specified buffers. When the system is first started at the beginning of the travel lane, the cart should be allowed to remain in a stationary spot for a period of approximately 15 minutes to allow for complete coverage at the end of the travel lane. This time may need to be adjusted in accordance with the soil moisture conditions. When the soil already has a higher moisture content than normal, the times should be decreased. At all times, the operator should be present with the machine during Page 2 these time periods to prevent any runoff or ponding of waste water. Table 4 gives the estimated i travel distance and corresponding times for each travel lane (the 15 minutes has been added). A pump which has a capacity of 143 gpm and can maintain a pressure of approximately 110 psi will be needed. This will require detailed specification at the time of actual pump selection. Diesel engine has been chosen for the power unit, and efficiencies for both the pump and engine have been assumed in these calculations for preliminary design purposes. The power unit should be sized after a pump unit is selected, and the horsepower required shall be based on perform- ance curve for that pump. The owner may also choose to use an electric motor, which will affect the horsepower required, since electric motors are generally considered 90% efficient. Approximately22= of bell and gasketed 4" class 160 IPS PVC pipe will be needed for the underground system supply line. Actual total supply pipe footage must be verified by irrigation company when laying out the system. The owner should also consider using Class 200 IPS pipe with the irrigation installer, as cost difference is sometimes negligible. The hydrants will be constructed out of schedule 80 fittings and class 200 pipe to withstand any high water hammer. The top of the hydrants will be equipped with ceramic butterfly valves, between two flanges and aluminum male circle lock adapter on the top of the hydrant. Each end riser will be equipped with a 2" sweep and 2" air relief valve to allow any air in the line to excape without causing any damage to the line. The pump shall be attached to the underground mainline with a 15' flex assembly, consisting of 15' of 4" lay flat flex hose and two 4" circle lock fittings. The end that hooks to the pump will have a male end, so that it can attach to the female on the pumping unit. The end going into the ground will have a female end to attach to the male side of a 4" aluminum 90 degree elbow which is locked onto the top of the hydrant which is made like the field end riser, including male circle lock top, butterfly valve, 2" sweep, schedule 80 fittings, 2" air relief, 2" adjustable pressure relief, and a 0-200 isolated pressure gauge. A similar. gauge will be at the traveler so the operator will be able to read the pressure at the pump as well as the irrigator. The pipe will be installed with a minimum of 30" cover over the pipe. This will prevent the pipeline from being struck by any agricultural equipment. When trenching the PVC pipe all manufacturer's recommendations should be observed. Concrete thrust blocks should be poured at all tees, ells, gate valves, ground entry, and end risers in the system. See table 5 for thrust block sizes and attached specifications for thrust block designs. At the pump there will be a Berkeley discharge priming valve. This swing type valve will allow the operator to shut down the system without the water draining back through the pump. The back pressure of the water in the line will operate the valve. There will be a diaphragm valve on the suction side of the pump to fill the pump and suction line when the operator starts up the system. At startup the underground line should not be filled any faster than 40 gpm. There will be a 4" butterfly valve on the entry at the ground which will allow the operator to remove the pump from the site after shutdown and the valve will prevent the water in the line from draining out. Page 1 PIPE INSTALLATION All pipe is to be bell and gasket Class 160 IPS, PVC plastic pipe, and the fittings shall be gasketed as those manufactured by Harco, or equal. The hydrants are to be assembled from schedule 80 PVC slip fittings, with class 200 PVC pipe. Pipe should have a minimum 30" of compacted cover to prevent the pipeline from any damage. Concrete thrust blocks will be poured at ells, tees, and end hydrants, as well as ground entry of supply line and gate valves. See Table 5 and supporting calculations for details and sizes. The thrust blocks shall be poured in place on undisturbed earth to prevent the line from separating at any of the joints. After installa- tion, all trenches are to be backfilled and compacted to prevent sediment runoff and soft spots in the field area. - MAINTENANCE There should be no land application of wastewater during freezing temperatures. The pump, the above ground portion of the discharge pipe, and the suction line should be drained during freez- ing temperatures, to avoid ruptures. The risers should be drained to approximately one foot below the surface during freezing temperatures. Check all valves, pressure relief, gauges, and hydrant tops at least two to three times per year for proper operation and for leaks. The pump should be well maintained and greased properly (refer to the operators manual for basic pump maintenance). Additional maintenance may be required due to the corrosion and salt buildup problems associated with the wastewater. The engine must be serviced regularly with oil, coolant, and lubricant (refer to the engine operators manual). The traveler hose reel and gun cart also require regular inspection and maintenance. The traveler should be inspected for proper operation before each startup of a pull (refer to traveler operators manual for maintenance instructions). It is also recommended to wash down the traveler., gun cart, and pump periodically to reduce corrosion. When the pump is removed from the system, make sure the butterfly valve on the system is closed to prevent objects from entering the pipeline. If the system is to be out of use for an extended time, it is recommended to store the traveler out of direct sunlight, as sunlight can damage the poly pipe over a long period of time. At every startup, check for leaks, and make sure the line holds a constant pressure. If a leak is found, shut the system down, and do not operate until repaired. If runoff occurs off -site due to a leak or other malfunctioning of the system, the owner is required to follow the emergency action plan included in the facility design.

Individual travel speeds are based on effective wetted width, and the corresponding travel times include a 15 minute delay at the beginning of each pull to provide a uniform spray pattern over that area. This delay time may need to be reduced if runoff potential exists.

Evans J.C. Barker J.T. Smith R.E. Sheffield Land application equipment used on animal production farms must be field calibrated or evaluated in accordance with existing design charts and tables according to State Rules that went into effect September 1, 1996. Technical Specialist certifying waste management plans after September 1, 1996 must also certify that operators have been provided calibration and adjustment guidance for all land application equipment. The nites apply to irrigation systems as well as all other types of liquid, slurry, or solid application equipment. Information presented in manufacturers charts are bated on average operating conditions for relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application rates change over time as equipment ages and components wear. As a result, equipment should be field calibrated on a regular basis to ensure that application rates and uniformity are consistent with values used during the system design and given in manufacturers specifications. Field calibration involves collection and measurement of the material being applied at several locations in the application area- This publication contains step by step guidelines for field calibration of hard hose and cable tow traveler irrigation systems. General Guidelines Operating an irrigation system differently than assumed in the design will alter the application rate, uniformity of coverage, and subsequently the application uniformity. Operating with excessive pressure results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the sprinkler nozzle. 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. Clogging of nozzles or crystallization of mainlines can result in pressure increase and reduced flow. Plugged intal= will reduce operating pressure. An operating pressure below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application uniformity. Field calibration helps ensure that nutrients from animal waste are applied uniformly and at proper rates. The calibration of a hard hose or cable tow system involves setting out collection containers, ol:nrating the system, measuring the amount of wastewater collected in each container, then compating the average application volume and application uniformity. An in -line flow meter installed in the main irrigation line provides a good "estimate" of the total volume pumped from the lagoon during each irrigation cycle. The average application depth can be determined by dividing the pumped volume by the application area. The average application depth is computed from the formula: Average application depth (inches) = Volume Pumped (gallons) 27,154 (gallac-in) X Application area (acres) Animal Waste Management Systems r Raaoty tt+s teat,. start klts7tttn wW amorrt of a,g- dwwq k lover area,, srgataa stir aaas ~ sear apt sppsaoort W44M Evata is ugoas Cr pond Wmt ita Stan M taa OMM a � am*= semm n as 25-row.

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. Page: 1 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor *I 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 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 carved out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR ( gallons, ft3, tons, etc.): 6400 animals X 222.65 gal/animal/year = 1,424,960 gallons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN PRODUCED PER YEAR (ibs): 6400 animals X 0.48 Ibs/animai/year = 3,072.00 Ibs 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. Page: 2 )The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown, soil type, and surface application.

A positive number means additional acreage is required to utilize the nitrogen produced by the farm. NOTE: 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. Page: 3 April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definitely interfere )with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the time small grain is planted in the fall. The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results. The following legend explains the crop codes listed in the table above: CropC4de "o A Barley B Hybrid Bermudagrass - Grazed C Hybrid Bermudagrass - Hay D Com - Grain E Corn - Silage F Cotton G Fescue - Grazed H Fescue- Hay I Oats J Rye K Small Grain - Grazed L Small Grain - Hay M Grain Sorghum N Wheat O Soybean Lbs N utilized / unit yield 1.6 lbs N / bushel 50 lbs N / ton 50 lbs N / ton 1.25 lbs N 1 bushel 12 lbs N / ton 0.12 lbs N / lbs lint 50 lbs N ! ton 50 lbs N / ton 1.3 lbs N I bushel 2.4 lbs N I bushel 50 lbs N / acre 50 lbs N / acre 2.5 lbs N / cwt. 2.4 lbs N 1 bushel 4.0 lbs N / bushel 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. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. SLUDGE APPLICATION: Page: 4 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 0.072 pounds of plant available nitrogen per animal por year in the sludge based on the application method listed earlier. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 2304.00 pounds of PAN to utilize_ Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 7.68 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to com at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 18.43 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and applications. 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. The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

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. Page: 5 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. Additional Comments: Owner has the option of winter annual overseed of any area in coastal bermuda and applying an additional 50 Lb Pan per acre. enter crop may be grazed or cut as hay.

J SHEET 1 OF 2 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN ------------------------------ This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) and 180 days of temporary storage. The time required for the planned fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be reached may vary due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for: (1) waste from animals and (2) excess rainfall after evaporation. Also included is storage for the 25 yr - 24 hr storm for the location and a heavy rain factor. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year, but excess rainfall will vary from year to year. The heavy rain factor and 25 yr rainfall will not be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage volume must always be available. The waste produced by the animals shall be utilized in accordance with an approved waste utilization plan. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the upper and lower elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume). Pumping shall be done as necessary to maintain the.liquid level between these markers. Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without runoff or leaching. Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set, center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops. The following items are to be carried out: 1. Before wastes are introduced, the waste treatment lagoon shall be charged to 1/2 its treatment volume to prevent excessive odors during start-up. Pre -charging reduces the concentration.of the initial waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be covered with effluent at all times. When precharging is complete, flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not be used for flushing after initial filling. 2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment) before land application. 3. Begin temporary storage pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches the elevation 49.75 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump - out when the fluid level reaches elevation 47.50 . This temporary storage less 25 yr and heavy rain contains 118559 cubic feet or J 886819 gallons. SHEET 2 OF 2 4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation and recommended maximum application rate is shown in the waste utilization plan. Refer to the waste utilization plan for further details. 5.. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain a vigorous stand. 6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and establish in vegetation. 7. Repair areas of the embankment that settle below the design settled height or areas where cracking, sloughing, or "jug" holes develop. 8. Repair waste inlet pipes that develop cracks or separate at the joints. 9. Remove undesirable vegetative growth and floating or lodged debris. 10. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable outlets when not included as part of the design temporary storage. 11. After five years the waste treatment lagoon shall be checked for sludge accumulation annually. If sludge has encroached into the treatment volume, the sludge will be removed and applied at agronomic rates based on analysis of the sludge. Treatment volume must have a minimum of 4 feet of depth'free of sludge at all times. 12. In December 1992,.the Environmental Management Commission (EMC) in North Carolina revised water quality regulations that address animal operations. These rules became effective on February 1, 1993 (15A NCAC 2H .0200). This animal operation shall be operated within the requirements of these rules and regulations. 13. Pipes that are used for recycling effluent to use as flush water and irrigation intakes must be placed 18 inches below the surface and as far from the inlet discharge pipes as possible in order to provide a cleaner effluent for flushing and to reduce odors when irrigating on land. When these pipes are placed through the embankment, they should be installed no more than two feet below top of embankment and not in the highest section of fill. The pipe trench shall be compacted with clayey material or other material as approved by an engineer. J SHEET 2 OF 2 4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation and recommended maximum application rate is shown in the waste utilization plan. Refer to the waste utilization plan for further details. 5.

In December 1992, the Environmental Management Commission (EMC) in North Carolina revised water quality regulations that address animal operations. These rules became effective on February 1, 1993 (15A NCAC 2H-.0200). This animal operation shall be operated within the requirements of these rules and regulations. 13. Pipes that are used for recycling effluent to use as flush water and irrigation intakes must be placed 18 inches below the surface and as far from the inlet discharge pipes as possible in order to provide a cleaner effluent for flushing and to reduce odors when irrigating on land. When these pipes are placed through -the embankment, they should be installed no more than two feet below top of embankment and not in the highest section of fill. The pipe trench shall be compacted with clayey material or other material as approved by an engineer. r A �,m{ Croix LjDuL September 26, 1997 MEMORANDUM -rcA_A& — Sm-, OCT0 7 1997 TO: Private Technical Specialist FROM: Carroll Pierce REG.

Dear Wayne & Susan Smith: On April 28, 2003, the North Carolina General Assembly ratified Senate Bill 733 which directs the Division of Water Quality (Division) to extend the expiration date of the Swine Waste Operation General Permit AWG100000. Therefore, the General Permit has been re -issued by the Division to extend the expiration date to October 1, 2004. During the period of this extension the Division will be working with all interested parties on the development of a new version of the Non -Discharge General Permit. In accordance with your application received on March 25, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Wayne & Susan Smith, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000. The issuance of this COC supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS090189 which expired on April 30, 2003. This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the- management of animal waste from the Wayne & Susan Smith Farm, located in Bladen County, with an animal capacity of no greater than an annual average of 6400 Wean to Feeder 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 October 1, 2004. Pursuant to this COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals. If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, careful evaluation of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed. The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Pernuttee 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.

The design shows that this site is capable of accommodating the proposed production facility in accordance with the infor- mation provided Further detail should be furnished at the time of equipment specifications with .1 selected dealer. Accurate records should be maintained on the operating time and nutrient content for each irrigation event. The pressure at the pump, traveler, and gun should be recorded to maintain accurate application rates: Forms for recording data can be found in the North Carolina Certifi- cation Training for Operators of Animal Waste Systems Manual. Pumping should occur as much as possible during the daylight hours. Running at night should be avoided when possible. At the beginning of each operation the pressures need to be checked against the parameters as laid out in this design. If by some chance they do not match, shut down the system and make the proper adjustments. The specifications must be followed exactly to prevent runoff and ponding. Pumping should never occur during rainy periods or when the ground is saturated. The operator should be on site as much as possible during operation and it is imperative that he/she be present during the beginning and ending of pulls. It is also highly recommended to conduct annual calibrations of your equipment. With the data recorded at each operation and information provided in this design, the operator can take a few easy steps to ensure the system is operating as it was originally designed. Page 5 APPLICATION OF WASTEWATER As stated above, the system will be installed to irrigate mostly Kenansville soils cropped with coastal bermuda hay and coastal bermuda pasture. Table 1 below shows information on the areas incorporated into the design. TABLE I: FIELD SPECIFICATIONS Field #, (Lane) Slope Soil Type Crop Precip Rate Max App per C de Ln ig. Acres 1& 5 lA-IC 0-3% KeA Coastal Bermuda Pasture 0.6 0.95 8.54 2, 3, & 4 2A 0-3% KeA Coastal Bermuda Pasture 0.6 0.95 - 3.3- 7 7A-7B 0-3% KeA Coastal Bermuda Hay 0.6 0.95 4.06 TOTAL 15.9 As shown in the table above, NRCS allows up to 0.95" depth of application. However, it is recommended to limit depth to 0.5" to decrease the risk of runoff or ponding of wastewater. As described earlier, the Kenansville soil has a poor moisture holding capacity, so larger applica- tions could also result in nutrient movement through the root zone. If larger applications are made, the owner should insure that soil moisture conditions are favorable to allow infiltration and retention of the irrigated wastewater within the root zone of the present crop. The combina- tion of low precipitation rate and small applications should prevent any ponding or runoff from occurring, as long as other requirements are met (not applying to saturated or frozen soil, etc.). The length of the travel lane will determine the length of time required Table 4 lists the estimated travel length and the respective time to complete each pull. Another application of wastewater should not be applied until the last amount of wastewater has been used through evapotranspiration. If no rainfall occurs, that will normally range from three to five days. This may vary depending on climate. Table 2 below details the irrigation operation for each traveler pull, or lane.

The original waste utilization plan was developed by Brown's of Carolina. As discussed in this report later, a new waste utilization plan (or nutrient management plan) has been developed by Swain Consulting Services, Inc. to correspond with this irrigation design, and to meet the requests of the owners. The annual plant available nitrogen (PAN) produced by this particular operation will be approximately 3,072 pounds. The soil types on this farm in the areas of waste water application are primarily Kenansville fine sand, with a small area of Centenary. The Kenansvilleseries is a well drained Coastal Plain and terrace soil with a thick sandy surface layer. Infiltration is rapid and surface runoff is slow. Permeability is moderately rapid, and available water capacity is low. Seasonal high water table is typically below 6 feet. The design irrigated precipitation rate is 0.6 inches per hour with cover crop, and the recommended application depth is 095 inches for summer perennials according to MRCS irrigation guidelines. The waste utilization plan includes a cropping system of coastal bermuda hay and pasture, with optional winter small grain overseeding. The total available acreage of the fields to be utilized on the ASCS map is approximately 22 acres. The area at the ends and on the sides of the pulls will not receive uniform coverage during application_ The area of the sides that is receiving effective irrigation is considered approximately 80 percent of the wetted radius of the chosen sprinkler. The ends are approximately 60 percent of the wetted radius of the chosen sprinkler. Where possible, a portion of the "ineffective" wetted area overlaps into adjacent wooded areas to allow uniform coverage to field edges. Based on the attached irrigation layout utilizing the specified equipment, approximately 15.9 acres can be effectively irrigated in the three fields to be utilized. The calculations made in the NMP show that the 15.9 acres of coastal Bermuda hay and pasture will utilize 3,544 pounds of PAN annually., The plan is written to allow an option of including winter annual overseeding on all areas, although winter cropping is not required based on the nutrient balance. Overseeding will allow more flexibility in managing the wastewater by provid- ing an extended time period for allowable irrigation. The acreage used in the nutrient plan is based on effective wetted area from this design, so the irrigation design exceeds the require- ments of the waste utilization plan. The annual loading rates are approximately 275 pounds PAN per acre per year for the coastal hay, and 205 pounds per acre for the coastal used as pasture, with an option ofadding 50 pounds PAN per acre for the overseeded winter small grain. There should be adequate storage to allow Page 1 time for application of waste water on the crops listed. The total amount of waste water that needs to be removed from the lagoon will vary based on the yearly rainfall amounts. Years where there is an unusually high rainfall amount, more water will need to be pumped on the spray fields. It is a good idea for the operators of this system to be familiar with average rainfalls for their particular regions. This can help in scheduling land applications. This infor- mation can be obtained at the local extension offices or at NC State University. In all cases, the volume of wastewater applied must not exceed the PAN balance, based on wastewater strength as determined by at least semi-annual analysis. Annual wastewater application is estimated as 1.9 million gallons, based on the lagoon design. A minimum buffer of 100 feet is observed from wells on the site. The design also accounts for required buffers from an adjacent residence (200') and property line of same (50'). Actual.field layout and installation of the system must verify these and other setback requirements. LAND APPLICATION SYSTEM Preliminary design layout and equipment specifications were in conjunction with the owner's requirements and take into account the owner's desire for a low-cost system. Recommended equipment includes the Ag-Rain Model E27A Hard Hose Traveler, equipped with 820 feet of 2.7 inch poly hose, and a Nelson SR100 end gun with a 0.8 inch taper bore nozzle, or equal. Equip- ment size and capacity are limited by site conditions, particularly width of fields, so any modifi- cation of equipment must be verified by the engineer for suitability. This system will require approximately 220 hours of pumping per year based on pumping volume estimates in the lagoon design. The arc angle of the sprinkler varies between pulls to allow maximum wetted area (see plan). As shown in the attached calculations, all settings are below the maximum specified application rate. Design of the system is based on operating the specified sprinkler at 60 psi, which is recom- mended for minimizing drift problems associated with higher pressures. The wetted diameter of the selected sprinkler is 280 feet and flow is 143 gallons per minute using a pressure at the sprin- kler of 60 psi. Using a lane spacing of 70% of wetted diameter yields a spacing of 196 feet, so 200 feet will be used. The system should never be operated when wind speeds are greater than 10 mph and preferably less than 5 mph. A total of six (6) hydrants will be required on the farm. The longest travel distance is approxi- mately 765 feet (891 feet effective wetted length). Start and stop pull locations should be accurately flagged when the system is installed to insure that wetted area does not encroach specified buffers. When the system is first started at the beginning of the travel lane, the cart should be allowed to remain in a stationary spot for a period of approximately 15 minutes to allow for complete coverage at the end of the travel lane. This time may need to be adjusted in accordance with the soil moisture conditions. When the soil already has a higher moisture content than normal, the times should be decreased. At all times, the operator should be present with the machine during Page 2 these time periods to prevent any runoff or ponding of waste water. Table 4 gives the estimated travel distance and corresponding times for each travel lane (the 15 minutes has been added). A pump which has a capacity of 143 gpm and can maintain a pressure of approximately 110-psi will be needed This will require detailed specification at the time of actual pump selection. Diesel engine has been chosen for the power unit, and efficiencies for both the pump and engine have been assumed in these calculations for preliminary design purposes. The power unit should be sized after a pump unit is selected, and the horsepower required shall be based on perform- ance curve for that pump. The owner may also choose to use an electric motor, which will affect the horsepower required, since electric motors are generally considered 90% efficient. Approximately Z QM of bell and gasketed 4" class 1601PS PVC pipe will be needed for the underground system supply line. Actual total supply pipe footage must be verified by irrigation company when laying out the system. The owner should also consider using Class 2001PS pipe with the irrigation installer, as cost difference is sometimes negligible. The hydrants will be constructed out of schedule 80 fittings and class 200 pipe to withstand any high water hammer. The top of the hydrants will be equipped with ceramic butterfly valves, between two flanges and aluminum male circle lock adapter on the top of the hydrant. Each end riser will be equipped with a 2" sweep and 2" air relief valve to allow any air in the line to excape without causing any damage to the line. The pump shall be attached to the underground mainline with a 15' flex assembly, consisting of 15' of 4" lay flat flex hose and two 4" circle lock fittings_ The end that hooks to the pump will . ' have a male end, so that it can attach to the female on the pumping unit. The end going into the ground will have a female end to attach to the male side of a 4" aluminum 90 degree elbow which is locked onto the top of the hydrant which is made like the field end riser, including finale circle loch top, butterfly valve, 2" sweep, schedule 80 fittings, 2" air relief, 2"-adjustable pressure relief, and a 0-200 isolated pressure gauge. A similar gauge will be at the traveler so the operator will be able to read the pressure at the pump as well as the irrigator. The pipe will be installed with a minimum of 30" cover over the pipe. This will prevent the pipeline from being struck by any agricultural equipment. When trenching the PVC pipe all manufacturer's recommendations should be observed. Concrete thrust blocks should be poured at all tees, ells, gate valves, ground entry, and end risers in the system. See table 5 for thrust block sizes and attached specifications for thrust block designs. At the pump there will be a Berkeley discharge priming valve_ This swing type valve will allow the operator to shut down the system without the water draining back through the pump. The back pressure of the water in the line will operate the valve. There will be a diaphragm valve on the suction side of the pump to fill the pump and suction line when the operator starts up the system. At startup the underground line should not be filled any faster than 40 gpm. There will be a 4" butterfly valve on the entry at the ground which will allow the operator to remove the pump from the site after shutdown and the valve will prevent the water in the line from draining out. Page 3 PIPE INSTALLATION All pipe is to be bell and gasket Class 160 IPS, PVC plastic pipe, and the fittings shall be gasketed as those manufactured by Harco, or equal. The hydrants are to be assembled from schedule 80 PVC slip fittings, with class 200 PVC pipe. Pipe should have a minimum 30" of compacted cover to prevent the pipeline from any damage. Concrete thrust blocks will be poured at ells, tees, and end hydrants, as well as ground entry of supply line and gate valves. See Table 5 and supporting calculations for details and sizes. The thrust blocks shall be poured in place on undisturbed earth to prevent the line from separating at any of the joints. After installa- tion, all trenches are to be backfilled and compacted to prevent sediment runoff and soft spots in the field area. MAINTENANCE There should be no land application of wastewater during freezing temperatures. The pump, the above ground portion of the discharge pipe, and the suction line should be drained during freez- ing temperatures, to avoid ruptures. The risers should be drained to approximately one foot below the surface during freezing temperatures. Check all valves, pressure relief, gauges, and hydrant tops at least two to three times per year for proper operation and for leaks. The pump should be well maintained and greased properly (refer to the operators manual for basic pump maintenance). Additional maintenance may be required due to the corrosion and salt buildup problems associated with the wastewater. The engine must be serviced regularly with oil, coolant, and lubricant (refer to the engine operators manual). The traveler hose reel and gun cart also require regular inspection and maintenance. The traveler should be inspected for proper operation before each startup of a pull (refer to traveler operators manual for maintenance instructions). It is also recommended to wash down the traveler, gun cart, and pump periodically to reduce corrosion_ When the pump is removed from the system, make sure the butterfly valve on the system is closed to prevent objects from entering the pipeline. If the system is to be out of use for an extended time, it is recommended to store the traveler out of direct sunlight, as sunlight can damage the polypipe over a Iong period of time. At every startup, check for leaks, and make sure the line holds a constant pressure. If a leak is found, shut the system down, and do not operate until repaired If runoff occurs off -site due to a leak or other malfunctioning of the system, the owner is required to follow the emergency action plan included in the facility design. Page 6 I CALCULATIONS PRECIPITATION RATE The precipitation rate (PR) should not exceed the infiltration rate of the soil and is calculated as: where, Q r (radius) w (arc) PR — 96.3 x Q 360 3.14(0.9 r Y w = 143 gpm = 140 feet = 180 degrees (worst case for PR) PR = 0.55 inches per hour (iph) TRAVEL SPEED The travel speed is calculated in feet per minute as follows: Speed = 1.605 x d x s where, Q = tp d — application depth (use 0.5" as recommended) s — lane spacing, or effective wetted width Speed (Lane 1 A) = 1.605 x 143 = 22 ft/min. 0.5 x 212 Travel times for each pull are listed below in Table 4, showing approximate length of each pull and corresponding time to complete the pull. Individual travel speeds are based on effective wetted width, and the corresponding travel times include a 15 minute delay at the beginning of each pull to provide a uniform spray pattern over that area. This delay time may need to be reduced if runoff potential exists.

Evans J.C. Barker J.T. Smith R.E. Sheffield Land application equipment used on animal production farms must be field calibrated or evaluated in accordance with existing design charts and tables according to State Rules that went into effect September 1, 1996- Technical Specialist certifying waste management plans after September 1, 1996 must also certify that operators have been provided calibration and adjustment guidance for all land application equipment. The rules apply to irrigation systems as weal as all other types of liquid, slurry, or solid application equipment. Information presented in manufacturers charts are based on average operating conditions for relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application rates change over time as equipment ages and components wear. As a result, equipment should be field calibrated on a regular basis to ensure that application rates and uniformity are consistent with values used during the system design and given in manufacturers specifications. Field calibration involves collection and measurement of the material being applied at several locations in the application area. This publication contains step by step guidelines for field calibration of - hard hose and cable tow traveler irrigation systems. General Guidelines Operating an irrigation system differently than assumed in the design will alter the application rate, uniformity of coverage, and subsequently the application uniformity. Operating with excessive pressure results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the sprinkler nozzle. 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 ding the wetted diameter. Clogging of nodes or crystallization of mainlines can result in pressure increase and reduced flow. Plugged intakes will reduce operating pressure. An operating pressure below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application uniformity. Field calibration helps ensure that nutrients from animal waste are applied uniformly and at proper rates. The calibration of a hard hose or cable tow system involves setting out collection containers, ol;erating the system, measuring the amount of wastewater collected in each container, then computing the average application volume and application uniformity. An in -line flow meter installed in the main irrigation line provides a good "estimate" of the total volume pumped from the lagoon during each irrigation cycle. The average application depth can be determined by dividing the pumped volume by the application area. The average application depth is computed from the formula: Volume Pumped (gallons) - � Average application depth (inches) 27,154 (gallac-in) X Application area (acres) Animal Waste Management Systems _1) Re= thedsie, Start aeaaon arb a sus. of 9 IflCaprn sfnuwx snyatse for BMW sfe•r eaM warT__ Evakwe tsgourt or gu ra" voaa feral ►h.xyn Itw raqwad Obten a.�a anrYw sssege at a tones � W do" d (I-pYa 25-7r.

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. Page. 1 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 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 carved out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR ( gallons, ft3, tons, etc.): 6400 animals" X 222.65 gal/animal/year = 1,424,960 gallons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN PRODUCED PER YEAR (Ibs): 6400 animals X 0.48 Ibs/animal/year = 3,072.00 Ibs 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. Page: 2 The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown, soil type, and surface application.

A positive number means additional acreage is required to utilize the nitrogen produced by the farm. NOTE: 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. Page: 3 April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definitely interfere with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the time small grain is planted in the fall. The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results. The following legend explains the crop codes listed in the table above: A Barley B Hybrid Bermudagrass - Grazed C Hybrid Bermudagrass - Hay D Corn - Grain E Com - Silage F Cotton G Fescue • Grazed H Fescue- Hay I Oats J Rye K Small Grain - Grazed L Small Grain - Hay M Grain Sorghum N Wheat O Soybean Lbs N utilized / unit yield 1.6 lbs N / bushel 50 lbs N / ton 50 lbs N / ton 1.25 lbs N / bushel 12 lbs N 1 ton 0.12 lbs N / lbs lint 50 lbs N 1 ton 50 lbs N / ton 1.3 lbs N / bushel 2.4 lbs.

Actual total acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. SLUDGE APPLICATION: I Page: 4 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 ' 0.072 pounds of plant available nitrogen per animal per year in the sludge based on the application method listed earlier. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 2304.00 pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 7.68 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 18.43 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and applications. 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. The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

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. Page: 5 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. Additional Comments: Owner has the option of winter annual overseed of any area in coastal bermuda and applying an additional 50 Lb Pan peracre. Winter crop may be grazed or cut as hay. l Page: 6 NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT PLAN CERTIFICATION Name of Farm: Wayne & Michael Smith Owner/Manager Agreement: Itwe understand and will follow and implement the specifications and the operation and maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste nutrient management plan for the farm named above.

The original waste utilization plan was developed by Brown's of Carolina. As discussed in this report later, a new waste utilization plan (or nutrient management plan) has been developed by Swain Consulting Services, Inc. to correspond with this irrigation design, and to meet the requests of the owners. The annual plant available nitrogen (PAN) produced by this particular operation will be approximately 3,072 pounds. The soil types on this farm in the areas of waste water application are primarily Kenansville fine sand, with a small area of Centenary. The Kenansvilleseries is a well drained Coastal Plain and terrace soil with a thick sandy surface layer. Infiltration is rapid and surface runoff is slow. Permeability is moderately rapid, and available water capacity is low. Seasonal high water table is typically below 6 feet. The design irrigated precipitation rate is 0.6 inches per hour with cover crop, and the recommended application depth is 0.95 inches for summer perennials according to N-RCS irrigation guidelines. The waste utilization plan includes a cropping system of coastal Bermuda hay and pasture, with optional winter small grain overseeding. The total available acreage of the fields to be utilized on the ASCS map is approximately 22 acres. The area at the ends and on the sides of the pulls will not receive uniform coverage during application. The area of the sides that is receiving effective irrigation is considered approximately 80 percent of the wetted radius of the chosen sprinkler. The ends are approximately 60 percent of the wetted radius of the chosen sprinkler. Where possible, a portion of the "ineffective" wetted area overlaps into adjacent wooded areas to allow uniform coverage to field edges. Based on the attached irrigation layout utilizing the specified equipment, approximately 15.9 acres can be effectively irrigated in the three fields to be utilized. The calculations made in the NMP show that the 15.9 acres of coastal bermuda hay and pasture will utilize 3,544 pounds of PAN annually. The plan is written to allow an o tion of including win er annual overseeding on all areas, although winter cropping is not required based on the nutrient balance. Overseeding_will allow more flexibility in managing the wastewater by provid- ing an extended time period for allowable irrigation. The acreage used in the nutrient plan is based on effective wetted area from this design, so the irrigation design exceeds the require- ments of the waste utilization plan. The annual loading rates are approximately 275 pounds PAN per acre per year for the coastal hay, and 205 pounds pef acre for the coastal used as pasture, with an option of adding 50 pounds i PAN per acre for the overseeded winter small grain. There should be adequate storage to allow Page 1 time for application of waste water on the.crops listed. The total amount of waste water that needs to be removed from the lagoon will vary based on the yearly rainfall amounts. Years where there is an unusually high rainfall amount, more water will need to be pumped on the spray fields. It is a good idea for the operators of this system to be familiar with average rainfalls for their particular regions. This can help in scheduling land applications. This infor- mation can_be obtained at the local extension offices or at NC State University. In all cases, the volume of wastewater applied must not exceed the PAN balance, based on wastewater strength as determined by at least semi-annual analysis. Annual wastewater application is estimated as 1.9 miIlion gallons, based on the lagoon design.. A minimum buffer of 100 feet is observed from wells on the site_ The design also accounts for required buffers from an adjacent residence (200') and property line of same (50'). Actual field Iayout and installation of the system must verify these and other setback requirements. LAND APPLICATION SYSTEM Preliminary design layout and equipment specifications were in conjunction with the owner's requirements and take into account the owner's desire for a low-cost system. Recommended equipment includes the Ag-Rain Model E27A Hard Hose Traveler, equipped with 820 feet of 2.7 inch poly hose, and a Nelson SR100 end gun with a 0.8 inch taper bore nozzle, or equal. Equip- ment size and capacity are limited by site conditions, particularly width of fields, so any modifi- cation of equipment must be verified by the engineer for suitability. This system will require approximately 220 hours of pumping per year based on pumping volume estimates in the lagoon design. The are angle of the sprinkler varies between pulls to allow maximum wetted area (see plan). As shown in the attached calculations, all settings are below the maximum specified application rate. Design of the system is based on operating the specified sprinkler at 60 psi, which is recom- mended for minimizing drift problems associated with higher pressures. The wetted diameter of the selected sprinkler is 280 feet and flow is 143 gallons per minute using a pressure at the spnn- kler of 60 psi. Using a lane spacing of 70% of wetted diameter yields a spacing of 196 feet, so 200 feet will be used.: The system should never be operated when wind speeds are greater than 10 mph and preferably less than 5 mph. A total of six (6) hydrants will be required on the farm. The longest travel distance is approxi- mately 765 feet (891 feet effective wetted length). Start and stop pull locations should be accurately flagged when the system is installed to insure that wetted area does not encroach specified buffers. When the system is first started at the beginning of the travel lane, the cart should be allowed to remain in a stationary spot for a period of approximately 15 minutes to allow for complete coverage at the end of the travel lane. This time may need to be adjusted in accordance with the soil moisture conditions. When the soil already has a higher moisture content than normal, the times should be decreased. At all times, the operator should be present with the machine during Page 2 these time periods to prevent any runoff or ponding of waste water. Table 4 gives the estimated travel distance and corresponding times for each travel lane (the 15 minutes has been added). A pump which has a capacity of 143 gpm and can maintain a pressure of approximately 110 psi will be needed This will require detailed specification at the time of actual pump selection - Diesel engine has been chosen for the power unit, and efficiencies for both the pump and engine have been assumed in these calculations for preliminary design purposes. The power unit should be sized after a pump unit is selected, and the horsepower required shall be based on perform- ance curve for that pump. The owner may also choose to use an electric motor, which will affect the horsepower required, since electric motors are generally considered 90% efficient. Approximately 2200' of bell and gasketed 4" class 160 TPS PVC pipe will be needed for the underground system supply line. Actual total supply pipe footage must be verified by irrigation company when laying out the system. The owner should also consider using Class 2001PS pipe with the irrigation installer, as cost difference is sometimes negligible. The hydrants will be constructed out of schedule 80 fittings and class 200 pipe to withstand any high water hammer. The top of the hydrants will be equipped with ceramic butterfly valves, between two flanges and aluminum male circle lock adapter on the top of the hydrant. Each end riser ~fill be equipped with a 2" sweep and 2" air relief valve to allow any air in the line to excape without causing any damage to the line. The pump shall be attached to the underground mainline with a 15' flex assembly, consisting of 15' of 4" Iay flat flex hose and two 4" circle lock fittings. The end that hooks to the pump will have a male end, so that it can attach to the female on the pumping unit. The end going into the ground will have a female end to attach to the male side of a 4" aluminum 90 degree elbow which is locked onto the top of the hydrant which is made like the field end riser, including male circle lock top, butterfly valve, 2" sweep, schedule 80 fittings, 2" air relief, 2" adjustable pressure relief, and a 0-200 isolated pressure gauge. A similar gauge will be at the traveler so the operator will be able to read the pressure at the pump as well as the irrijator. The pipe will be installed with a minimum of 30" cover over the pipe. This will prevent the pipeline from being struck by any agricultural equipment. When trenching the PVC pipe all manufacturer's recommendations should be observed. Concrete thrust blocks should be poured at all tees, ells, gate valves, ground entry, and end risers in the system. See table 5 for thrust block sizes and attached specifications for thrust block designs. At the pump there will be a Berkeley discharge priming valve. This swing type valve will allow the operator to shut down the system without the water draining back through the pump. The back pressure of the water in the line will operate the valve. There will be a diaphragm valve on the suction side of the pump to fill the pump and suction line when the operator starts up the system. At startup the underground line should not be filled any faster than 40 gpm. There will be a 4" butterfly valve on the entry at the ground which will allow the operator to remove the pump from the site after shutdown and the valve will prevent the water in the line from draining out. Page 3 PIPE INSTALLATION All pipe is to be bell and gasket Class 160 IPS, PVC plastic pipe, and the fittings shall be gasketed as those manufactured by Harco, or equal. The hydrants are to be assembled from schedule 80 PVC slip fittings, with class 200 PVC pipe. Pipe should have a minimum 30" of compacted cover to prevent the pipeline from any damage. Concrete thrust blocks will be poured at ells, tees, and end hydrants, as well as ground entry of supply line and gate valves. See Table 5 and supporting calculations for details and sizes. The thrust blocks shall be poured in place on undisturbed earth to prevent the line from separating at any of the joints. After installa- tion, all trenches are to be backfilled and compacted to prevent sediment runoff and soft spots in the field area. M�iriYTENANCE There should be no land application of wastewater during freezing temperatures. The pump, the above ground portion of the discharge pipe, and the suction line should be drained during freez- ing temperatures, to avoid ruptures. The risers should be drained to approximately one foot below the surface during freezing temperatures. Check all valves, pressure relief, gauges, and hydrant tops at least two to three times per year for proper operation and for leaks. The pump should be well maintained and greased properly (refer to the operators manual for basic pump maintenance). Additional maintenance may be required due to the corrosion and salt buildup problems associated with the wastewater. The engine must be serviced regularly with oil, coolant, and lubricant (refer to the engine operators manual). The traveler hose reel and gun cart also require regular inspection and maintenance. The traveler should be inspected for proper operation before each startup of a pull (refer to traveler operators manual for maintenance instructions). It is also recommended to wash down the traveler, gun cart, and pump periodically to reduce corrosion. When the pump is removed from the system, make sure the butterfly valve on the system is closed to prevent objects from entering the pipeline. If the system is to be out of use for an extended time, it is recommended to store the traveler out of direct sunlight, as sunlight can damage the poly pipe over a long period of time. At every startup, check for Ieaks, and make sure the line holds a constant pressure. If a leak is found, shut the system down, and do not operate until repaired. If runoff occurs off -site due to a leak or other malfunctioning of the system, the owner is required to follow the emergency action plan included in the facility design. Page 6 CALCULATIONS PRECIPITATION RATE The precipitation rate (PR) should not exceed the infiltration rate of the soil and is calculated as. - PR = 96.3 x Q 360 114(0.9 r )Z w Where, Q = 143 gpm r (radius) = 140 feet w (arc) - = 180 degrees (worst case for PR) PR = 0.55 inches per hour (iph) TRAVEL SPEED The travel speed is calculated in feet per minute as follows: where, Speed = 1.605 x 0 d x s Q = gpm d — application depth (use 0.5" as recommended) s — lane spacing, or effective wetted width Speed (Lane I A) = 1.605 x 143 = 2.2 ft/min. 0.5 x 212 Travel times for each pull are listed below in Table 4, showing approximate length of each pull and corresponding time to complete the pull. Individual travel speeds are based on effective wetted width, and the corresponding travel times include a 15 minute delay at the beginning of each pull to provide a uniform spray pattern over that area. This delay time may need to be reduced if runoff potential exists.

I Feld Calibration Procedures for Animal Wastewater Application Equipment HARD HOSE AND CABLE TOW TRAVELER TRRXGATTON SYSTEMS R.C. Evans J.C. Barker J.T. Smith R.E. Sheffield Land application equipment used on animal production farms must be field calibrated or t evaluated in accordance with existing design charts and tables according to State Rules that went into effect September 1, 1996. Technical Specialist certifying waste management plans after September I, 1996 must also certify that operators have been provided calibration and adjustment guidance for all land application equipment. The rules apply to irrigation systems as well as all other types of liquid, slurry, or solid application equipment. Information presented in manufacturers charts are based on average operating conditions for relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application rates change over time as equipment ages and components wear. As a result, equipment should be field calibrated on a regular basis to ensure that application rates and uniformity are consistent with values used during the system design and given in manufacturers specifications. Field calibration involves collection and measurement of the material being applied at several locations in the _ application area. This publication contains step by step guidelines for field calibration of bard hose and cable tow traveler irrigation systems. General Guidelines Operating an irrigation system differently than assumed in the design will alter the .application rate, uniformity of coverage, and subsequently the application uniformity. ,Operating with excessive pressure results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift, and arceler=es wear of the sprinkler nozzle. Pump wear tends to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use, nozzle wear results in an increase in the nozzle opeiung which will increase the discharge rate while decreasing the wetted diameter. Ciogg ng of nozzles or, crystallization of mainlines can result in pressure increase and reduced flow. Plugged intakes will reduce operating pressure. An operating pressure below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application uniformity. Field calibration helps ensure that nutrients ;from animal waste are applied uniformly and at proper rates. The calibration of a hard hose or cable tow system involves setting out collection containers, operating the system, measuring the amount of wastewater collected in each container, then compLting the average application volume and application uniformity. An in -line flow meter installed in the main irrigation line provides a good "estimate", of the total volume pumped from the lagoon during each irrigation cycle. The average application depth can be determined by dividing the pumped volume by the application area. The average application depth is computed from the formula: Volume Pumped (gallons) Average application depth (inches) = 27,154 (.ggal/ac-in) X Application area (acres) NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT PLAN Grower(s): Farm Name: County: Farm Type: Farm Capacity: Storage Structure: Storage Period: Application Method: Wayne & Michael Smith Wayne & Michael Smith Bladen Wean -Feed 6400 Anaerobic Lagoon 180 days Irrigation The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. ,This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed �- before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner: 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient ` content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. Page: 1 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 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. AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR ( gallons, ft3, tons, etc.): 6400 animals X 222.65 gal/animal/year = 1,424,960 gallons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN PRODUCED PER YEAR (lbs): 6400 animals X 0.48 Ibs/animal/year = 3,072.00 Ibs 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. Page: 2 April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definitely interfere tr 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 following legend explains the crop codes listed in the table above: _C_LQp__Qode "off A Barley - B Hybrid Bermudagrass - Grazed C Hybrid Bermudagrass - Hay D Corn - Grain E Com - Silage F Cotton { G Fescue- Grazed H Fescue - Hay 1 Oats J Rye K Small Grain - Grazed L Small Grain - Hay M Grain Sorghum N Wheat O Soybean Lis N utilized /unit vreld 1.6 ibs N / bushel 50 lbs N I ton 50 lbs N / ton 1.25 lbs N / bushel 12 lbs N / ton 0.12 lbs N / lbs lint 50 lbs N 1 ton 50 lbs N / ton 1.3 lbs N / bushel 2.4 lbs N / bushel 50 lbs N / acre 50 lbs N / acre 2.5 lbs N 1 C,rvt. 2.4 lbs N / bushel 4.0 lbs N / bushel 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. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. SLUDGE APPLICATION: Page: 4 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 �r approximately 0.072 pounds of plant available nitrogen per animal ppr year in the `sludge based on the application method listed earlier. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 2304.00 pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayiand at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 7.68 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 18.43 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and applications. 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 -_S . 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. The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

Page: 6 NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT PLAN CERTIFICATION Name of Farm: Owner/Manager Agreement: Wayne & Michael Smith Ilwe understand and will follow and implement the specifications and the operation and maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste nutrient management plan for the farm named above. Itwe know that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste treatment and/or storage system, or construction of new facilities, will require a new nutrient management plan and a new certification to be submitted to DWQ before the new animals are stocked. 1/we understand that I must own or have access to equipment, primarily irrigation equipment, to land apply the animal waste described in this nutrient management plan. This equipment must be available at the appropriate pumping time such that no discharge occurs from the lagoon in the event of a 25 year 24 hour storm. I also certify that the waste will be applied on the land according to this plan at the appropriate times and at rates which produce no runoff. ,This plan will be tiled on site at the farm office and at the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation District and will be available for review by NCDWQ upon request.

Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The topsoil from the lagoon and pad area should be stripped and stockpiled for use on the dike and pad areas. After stripping, the foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be thoroughly loosened prior to placing the first lift of fill material to get a good bond. EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT: ----------------------------------- The completed excavation and earthfill shall conform to the lines, grades, and elevations shown on the plans. Earthfill material shall be free of material such as sod, roots, frozen soil, stones over 6 inches in diameter, and other objectionable material. To the extent they are suitable, excavated materials can be used as fill. The fill shall be brought up in approximately horizontal layers not to exceed o inches in thickness when loose and prior to compaction. Each layer will be compacted by complete coverage with the hauling and spreading equipment or standard tamping roller or other equivalent method. Compaction equipment shall travel in a direction parallel to the main axis of the fill. Clayey soils shall be compacted with a "sheepsfoot" or tamping roller. Compaction of the fill material shall be in accord- ance with the specified requirements for compaction and moisture. For the embankment, use the more impervious materials from the require6 excavations. Construction of fill heights shall include 5 percent for settlement. Dikes over 15 feet in height and wit'n an impoundment capacity of 10 acre-feet or more fall under the jurisdiction of the NC Dam Safety Law. The height is defined as the difference in elevation from the constructed height to the downstream toe of the dike. Precautions shall be taken during construction to prevent excessive erosion and sedimentation. LINER: THE MINIMUM REQUIRED THICKNESS SHALL BE 1.5 ft. NOTE: LINERS (PARTIAL OR FULL) ARE REQUIRED WHEN THE ATTACHED SOILS INVESTIGATION REPORT SO INDICATES OR WHEN UNSUITABLE MATERIAL IS ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRUCTION. A TYPICAL CROSS SECTION OF THE LINER IS INCLUDED IN THE DESIGN WHEN LINERS ARE REQUIRED BY THE SOILS REPORT. When areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will be over - excavated below finish grade to the specified depth as measured perpendicular to the finish grade. The foundation shall be backfilled as specified to grade with a NRCS approved material (ie - CL,SC,CH). REFER TO THE SOILS INVESTIGATION INFORMATION IN TziE PLANS FOR SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS. SHEET 2 OF 3 Soil liner material shall come from an approved borrow area. The minimum water content of the liner material shall be optimum moisture content which relates to that moisture content when the soil is kneaded in the hand it will form a ball which does not readily separate. Water shall be added to borrow as necessary to insure proper moisture content during placement of the liner. •The moisture content of the liner material shall not be less than -optimum water content during placement. The maximum water content relates to the soil material being too wet for efficient use of hauling equipment and proper compaction- Proper compaction of the liner includes placement in 9 inch lifts and compacted to at least 90 percent of the maximum ASTM D698 Dry Unit Weight of the liner material unless otherwise specified. When smooth or hard, the previous lift shall be scarified and moistened as needed before placement of the next lift. The single most important factor affecting the overall compacted perme- ability of a clay liner, other than the type of clay used for the liner, is the efficient construction _processing of the compacted liner. The sequence of equipment use and the routing of equipment in an.estab- lished pattern helps assure uniformity in the whole placement and compaction process. For most clay soils, a tamping or sheepsfoot roller is the preferable type of compaction equipment. The soil liner shall be protected from the discharge of waste outlet pipes. This can be done by using some type of energy dissipator(rocks) or using flexible outlets on waste pipes. Alternatives to soil liners are synthetic liners and bentonite sealant - When these are specified, additional construction specifications are included with this Construction Specification - CUTOFF TRENCH: -------------- A cutoff trench shall be constructed under the embankment area when shown on a typical cross section in the plans. The final depth of the cutoff trench shall be determined by observation of the foundation materials. VEGETATION: All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construc- tion according to the seeding specifications. Topsoil should be placed on areas of the dike and pad to be seeded. Temporary seeding or mulch shall be used if the recommended permanent vegetation is out of season dates for seeding. Permanent vegetation should be established as soon as possible during the next period of approved seeding dates. REMOVAL OF EXISTING TILE DRAINS When specified, the contractor shall construct an observation trench along the entire length of the embankment to a minimum of five feet in depth. The trench shall have a bottom width adequate to accomodate the equipment used for excavation, backfill, and compaction operations SHEET 3 OF 3 and the side slopes shall be 1:1 or flatter. When tile drains are encountered, the the shall be removed to a minimum of 15 feet beyond the downstream embankment toe as measured perpendicular to the embankment. If a tile line exists above the embankment it shall be rerouted around the lagoon in an approved location. Backfilling and compaction in the trench shall be in accordance with the EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT requirements. BOTTOM AND EDGES --------------- The bottom of all lagoons shall be approximately level. The side slopes shall be uniform from top to bottom. Scarify the bottom and side slopes of the lagoon a minimum depth of six inches and compact with a "sheepsfoot" or tamping roller to decrease the permeability of the finished bottom and side slopes. QUALITY ASSURANCE ----------------- During construction of the earth embankment, a qualified inspector as designated by the designer must be on site during construction as necessary to verify proper construction. Testing will be required as deemed necessary by the inspector anti/or designer. During construction of a clay liner, a qualified construction inspector as designated by the designer must be on site during con- struction as necessary to verify the liner is installed in accordance with NRCS South National Technical Center (SNTC) Technical Note 716 (Revised September 1993). In the absence of supervision of construction by a qualified inspector, the liner must be tested to verify a maximum hydraulic conductivity of 0.000001.25 cm/sec. When testing is required, the owner will be responsible for furnish- ing test results and certification that the construction meets the design requirements. Any tests and certification should be performed by a certified laboratory. r-- -�1 United States NatUrel 0ePart-, ier:t cr Rasccrc;s �.Src :lh:re Ccnzervzdcn Service WA-S:..^ Slit 7-VALUATFON LCL.i%CN A 6 41? 4/ / IT �y r,cc�:;on nw.A DLS ;rtC3 �O.,i N-r s Z.-Su"7E Cc tiOT Ou Y7 HY?RODL'C� IZ00 Fi.

The time required for the planned fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be reached may vary due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for: (1) waste from animals and (2) excess rainfall after evaporation. Also included is storage for the 25 yr - 24 hr storm for the location and a heavy rain factor. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly constant throughout the year and from.year to year, but excess rainfall will vary from year to year. The heavy rain factor and 25 yr rainfall will not be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage volume must always be available. The waste produced by the anima-ls shall be utilized in accordance with an approved waste utilization plan. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the upper and lower elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume). Pumping shall be done as necessary to maintain the liquid level between these markers. Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without runoff or leaching. Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set, center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops_ The following items are to be carried ou-_ 1. Before wastes are introduced, the waste treatment lagoon shall be charged to 1/2 its treatment volume to prevent excessive odors during start-up. Pre -charging reduces the concentration of the initial waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. solids should be covered with effluent at all times. When precharging is complete, flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not be used for flushing after initial filling. 2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment) before land application. 3. Begin temporary storage pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches the elevation 49.75 as ;parked by permanent marker. Stop pup_. out when the fluid level reaches elevation 47.50 . This temporary storage less 25 yr and heavy rain contains 113559 cubic feet or 806819 gallons. SHEET 2 OF 2 4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation and recommended maximum application rate is shown in the waste utilization plan. Refer to the waste utilization plan for further details. 5.. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain a vigorous stand. 6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and establish in vegetation. 7. Repair areas of the embankment that settle below the design settled height or areas where cracking, sloughing, or "jug" holes develop. 8. Repair waste inlet pipes that develop cracks or separate at the joints. 9. Remove undesirable vegetative growth and floating or lodged debris. 10. All surface runoff is to be diverted front the lagoon to stable outlets when not included as part of the design: tenporary storage. 11. After five years the waste treatment lagoon shall be checked for sludge accumulation annually. If sludge has encroached into the treatment volume, the sludge will be removed and applied at agronomic rates based on analysis of the sludge. Treatment volume must have a minimum of 4 feet of depth' free or sludge at all times. 12. In December 1992, the Environmental Management Commission (EMC) in North Carolina revised water quality regulations that address animal operations. These rules became effective on February 1, 1993 (15A NCAC 2H .0200). This animal operation shall be operated within the requirements of these rules and regulations. 13.' Pipes that are used for recycling effluent to use as flush water and irrigation intakes must be placed 18 inches below the surface and as far from th.e inlet discharge pipes as possible in order to provide a cleaner effluent for flushing and to reduce odors when irrigating on land. When these pipes are placed through the embankment, they should be installed no more than two feet below top of embankment and not in the highest section of fill. The pipe trench shall be compacted with clayey material or other material as approved by an engineer.
