The General Permit was issued to enable swine faciiities.in North Carolina to obtain coverage under a single permit that addresses both State and Federal requirements. In accordance with your application received on January 30, 2003, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to David & Wingate Collier, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with NPDES General Permit NCA200000. The issuance .of this COC supersedes and terminates' your COC Number AWS260059 to operate under State Non -Discharge Permit AWG100000. This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management of animal waste from the Collier Farms Inc, located in CumberlandCounty, with an animal capacity of no greater than an annual average of 7040 Feeder to Finish swine and the application• to land as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where'boars are unneccessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until July 1, 2007. Pursuant to this COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals. Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed General Permit. Since this is a new joint State and Federal general permit it contains many new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained in the current State general permit. Enclosed for your convenience is a package containing the new and revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please pay careful attention to the record keepin and monitorinE conditions in this hermit. The Devices to Automatically Stov Irrigation Events Form mustbe returned to the Division_ of Water Quality no later than 120_days followinreceipt of the Certificate of Coverage. The Animal Facility Annual Certification Form must be completed and returned to the Division of Water Quality by no later than March 1st of each year.

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 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 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. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management 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.) 7040 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 13376 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 7040 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 16192 lbs. PAN/year 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. The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermudagrass), 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 to reach maturity,.especially late in the season (i.e. 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 Page: 5 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 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 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 mowed to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results. ** Acreage figures may exceed total acreage in fields due to overseeding. * lbs AW N (animal waste nitrogen) equals total required nitrogen less any commercial nitrogen (COMM N) supplied.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables 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: 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 2604.8 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 13024 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 43.4133333333 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds•of nitrogen per acre, you will need 104.192 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 application methods. 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 Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and Page: 7 r ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

Your facility is designed for 180.00 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6.00 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste be 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 Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Page: 10 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 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 rate prior to applying the waste. NARRATIVE OF OPERATION Page: 11 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS ]. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strip) 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 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. Page: 12 } WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharges 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. Page:. 13 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 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 basi's to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied'preplant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21. 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 50 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels, pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

Facility # 26-59 Wade, North Carolina Cumberland County Dear Mr. Collier: On Friday, July 18, 1997, I met with you and your son, David, to observe and discuss the waste management practices at your hog farm. My visit was the result of a local citizen's complaint regarding the management of waste generated from your hog farm. The citizen was concerned that the application of wastewater onto fields in close proximity to his property could potentially contaminate his drinking water. County, State and Federal Environmental .Agencies, as well as the news media have been contacted by this citizen regarding his concerns. This farm (Facility #26-59) was officially inspected by the Division of Water Quality on June 19, 1997, The inspector, Mr: Ed Buchan, has advised me this facility complies with all animal operation regulations required by Senate Bill #1217. Mr. Buchan's inspection found this facility to be in compliance. On July 18, 1997, I personally observed the animal waste management practices at this facility. The Certified Waste Management Plan, all records (pumping, waste analysis, etc.), lagoon freeboard, animal barns, and spray acreage were reviewed. All parts of your plan were in order and I consider them to be in compliance with current regulations. Wachovia Building, Suite 714, Fayetteville w- .

From SR 1824, on the day of this inspection, it appeared that wastewater was being spray irrigated into a wooded area. The investigation revealed that the waste was actually being applied through a fence line currently heavily populated with trees. This area separates two (2) irrigation sites. It is my opinion that the subject fence line -buffer should be removed for the following. reasons: (1) The vegetation is a combination of hardwoods and softwoods of all varieties and sizes. During heavy storms (ice, thunder, strong winds), limbs will,break off and fall onto coastal acreage. To manage the coastal properly, this debris will have to be removed. This is very labor and maintenance intensive and will cause a loss of valuable man hours. (2). The trees will uptake nutrients for the hay crop; thus, producing a lower quality hay. (3) In its present location, it does not appear to be a buffer for anything. If the adjacent fields had no vegetation, it could be considered a wind break; however, with an established Coastal Bermuda crop, wind erosion is not a factor. (4) Elimination of this fence line could potentially eliminate inquiries by other local. citizens. The continued management of your animal facility by the current management practices should ensure environmental compliance. Should you have any questions, please advise. Sincerely, .

On May 29, 1997, members of the Cumberland County Board of Health toured Collier Farms and other farms in the general area to better understand Animal Waste Management Practices. Collier Farms, Inc., was originally inspected on June 19, 1997, by the Division of Water Quality and prior to our inspection, the Division of Soil and Water reviewed this farm. These two (2) inspections are required annually under North Carolina General Statutes (Senate Bill 1217). The inspections were performed by different individuals and all indicate that this farm follows waste management practices included in the e e F_as_tg ManagementELM. Other inspections regarding surface runoff and potential improper waste management practices were not observed. During every inspection, this farm was operating in accordance with the Waste Plan developed by a technical specialist. It is my understanding that your major concern is that the application of wastewater onto fields inclose proximity to your property could potentially contaminate your private drinking water well. 225 Green Street, Suite 714 FAX 910486-0707 Fayetteville, North Carolina 28301-5043 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer Telephone 910486-1541 50% recycled110% post -consumer paper kir. John Leggett Se1 eptember 23, 1997 your concern for your drinking water supply is understandable. This office will enforce all Iaws to assure your water supply is la contaminated with Nitrate Nitrogen from the adjacent animal facility. Nitrate contamination could come from sources other than animal waste. Other sources would include septic tank systems, commercial fertilizer and decaying organic matter. All of these sources could move downward through the soil carrying Nitrate to the groundwater. On August 12, 1997, our Groundwater personnel met with you to sample your water supply well. The Division of Water Quality's results of this sampling event along with previous well supply sampling data iq as follows: Sample from water supply well at your residence: Date Nitrate (mg/1) Total Coliform 2/14/96 2.85 absent 12/12/96 3.77 not sampled 3/6/97 not sampled absent 1/22/97 3.08 not sampled 3/11/97 3.60 not sampled 8/12/97 4.1 not sampled Sample from water supply well adjacent to your residence: Date Nitrate (mg/1) Total Coliform 2/14/97 2.84 absent 8/12/97 4.20 not sampled These results have been forwarded to the Division of Health Services Environmental Epidemiology Section for further evaluation for any health related advisories or input about the use of your water. We will forward you their recommendations as soon as we receive them. As indicated above there are many different sources for nitrate in groundwater. Additionally the concentrations measured at one location and time may vary when analyzed at a later time. This also has more than one possible explanation. Nitrate may increase or decrease due to the amount of rainfall during the year especially in shallow groundwater situations. Nitrate may go through denitirfication (release of nitrogen from nitrate )under natural site conditions which occur at various depths and is dependent primarily on the amount of oxygen available in the subsurface aquifers. All these variables (and others) play a significant role in the 'fate of nitrate in groundwater. We will be happpy to continue to help you with your water, quality concerns in the future. We anticipate that the Division of Health Services will recommend that your well be sampled on a periodic basis. We will schedule our next sampling based on their recommendations. 3hn Legge tt y September 23, 1997 Based on the above information and the number of investigations this office has performed on the subject farm during 1997, it is our opinion that Collier Farms, Inc., is operating in compliance with current rules and regulations.

Mr. Leggett indicated that the farm was spraying liquid nitrogen in portions of the portions of fields that liquid swine waste had not been applied. I asked him if they were applying liquid nitrogen next to his properly line and he stated "not really next to it". Mr. Leggett theorized that the liquid nitrogen was being applied so that tests on his well could not show impact from he liquid swine waste. I offered no comment. He indicated that the farm had applied waste all this week. He indicated that the smell was so intense that he "could not stand it He then deviated from the swine conversation and discussed NCDOT.

NARRATIVE: r %WINE I MOM' i COMPLAINT REPORT COMPLAINANT: Mr. John Leggett, near South River Farms SUBJECT: Alleged run-off of animal waste from land application site, South River Farms, Wingate and David Collier farm, Cumberland County Facility # 26-59 DATE: February 2, 1998 According to Mr. Leggett, who made this call through the Attorney General's office, the Colliers were spraying hog waste onto a field behind or near his house. It was his opinion and claim that as wet as the ground was, this waste was bound to be running straight into the South River. Ken Averitte and Chris Johnson visited the farm site off the end of SR 1822. Lagoon level was probably higher than recommended but not in imminent danger of overflowing, estimated at 18 to 20 inches or more. They left the farm site and went to a point where the irrigation force main crosses Brown Swamp. David Collier was found at this site, returning from the spray field on the high ground located on the far side of the swamp. He indicated that they were trying to spray at every opportunity in order to obtain as much freeboard as possible due to anticipated heavy rain. Reported spray field to be dry and suitable for land application. In the process of locating the actual spray irrigation'site, the investigators met with Mr. Leggett. He took the opportunity to explain all his past and present problems with the hog farm, indicating that two school children who live in his rental mobile home were sick and mussing school that day due to the odor from the waste application. He also mentioned that nitrates in his well had doubled in the last year or two. Made our way into the land application site and walked the low side of the area just sprayed. The irrigation gun had been shut down by the time we arrived, just as David Collier indicated. The gun cart was approaching a low area in the field which was not suitable for spraying, and they intended to pull the gun across the drain before resuming application. We were able to discern where the waste had been applied, and found no evidence of runoff or ponding. While we were on the site, David and Wingate arrived and moved the cart across the low area. Found absolutely nothing to substantiate the immediate claims of Mr. Leggett. However, several drain riles have been placed in the low "drain" areas of this application site and are effectively removing the ground water from the vicinity. This may warrant sampling in the future to assess the impact of waste application on the now accelerated ground water discharge.

Facility Number 26-59 Cumberland County Dear David Collier; During the 1999 session, the North Carolina General Assembly passed a law directing the North Carolina Department of Environment of Natural Resources (DENR) to develop an inventory and ranking of all inactive lagoons and storage ponds in the State. In order to meet this directive, a representative of DENR has recently evaluated the inactive lagoon(s) and/or storage pond(s) on your property. Inactive lagoons and storage ponds were defined by the Statute as structures which were previously used to store animal waste but have not received waste for at least one year. The information collected on your property is contained in the attached field data sheets. Using this field data, staff ranked your inactive waste structures as high, medium or low according to its potential risk for polluting surface and/or groundwater.

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.

The following Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization table provides an estimate of the number of acres needed for sludge utilization for the indicated accumulation period. These estimates are based on average nitrogen concentrations for each source, the number of animals in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application rates shown in the second column. Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent. At clean out, this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases, the priority nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since nutrient levels are generally very high, application of sludge must be carefully applied. Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray fields should not be used for sludge application. If this is not possible, care should be taken not to load effluent application fields with high amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water moving to streams and lakes, phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a concern.

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

Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste that reaches surface water is prohibited. 2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving crop type, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there Is danger of drift from the land application field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding (see "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance). 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor and flies. ---- --------------- .-.------I-------------. -------- -- .... ..................... 725677 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 12/21/2006 Specification Page 1 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the soil surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1,1995, shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters. 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided the fields have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. ................................................ ................. •---------------------------------------------- ........ .....------------......------------------ 725677 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 12/21/2006 Specification Page 2 r 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. M Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption, it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of-allwaste 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.

Avoid planting after May 20 if at all possible. Review the NCSU Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to select a high yielding variety with characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Plant 4-6 seed/row foot at a depth of 1/2-1". Adequate depth control is essential. Recommended phosphorus and 1/2 the potash can be broadcast or banded at planting. Apply 20-25 lbs/acre N and 5 lbs/acre sulfur at planting. Apply the remaining recommended N as a sidedress application 2 to 3 weeks after first square. The total N needed is dependent on soil type. Also, apply at least 20 lbs/acre sulfur and the remaining potash at or close to sidedressing. Apply 1/2 lb/acre actual boron either at planting or at sidedress and foliar apply 1/2 lb/acre actual boron with 1/4 lb/acre applied at early bloom and the other 1/4 Ib/acre about 2 weeks later. The boron needs to be available to the cotton during fruiting. Tissue samples can be analyzed during the growing season to monitor the nutrient status of the cotton.

Dry litter samples should also include a total solids (TS) analysis. G, Other analyses performed at no extra cost by NCDA include trace minerals., N tIL. INTERPRETATION OF AMU ...L RESULTS ' `•' A. Results are usually reported either, on a percent {X) of total weight or a parts -per - .:million (ppm or mg/1) basis. B. Results may be reported on a dry -weight; :bas:is;�:(;db),.or on -a wet -weight ,basis (vb). C. NCDA lab results are usually reported on a X wet -basis for semi -solid, slurry,,and liquid samples and .on a 2 dry-bas is for -dry :litter '•samples. D. Results expressed on a dry -basis should be converted to a wet -basis before calculating land application rates by multiplying the reported values by the X total solids (I expressed as a decimal). If a total solids analysis is not performed, average total solida'contents of dry litter samples maybe obtained .from Table VI-B. E. If an ammonia -nitrogen test is not performed, refer to Tables 1A thru 6A for the average relative percentage of the total nitrogen -as ammonia. F. Phosphorus and 'potassium results can either be reported as elemental P'and K or as the fertilizer. forms of P 0 and K 0. Recommended rates of fertilization for various crops are usually 2raported2as P205 and K2 0. G.
