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 conditions conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformitq of application.. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered. 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential 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 on bare WOW, 11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips) 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands by a discharge or by over - spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge -directly into water courses, and only then at agronomic rates provided the application causes no runoff or drift from the site. 8 I �Mklr ASTE UTILIZATIOI�P�,Aqn -u REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS cc«adncea, 16. Domestic and industrial waste from.washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard. 18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, -to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc.- are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 20. Waste -handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 7 s.., ATTACILIrENL T A a, t GEMENT TTEVILLEpREG OFFICE FAA KEE Name of Farm: WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN AGREEMENT Owner/Manager Agreement I (we) understand and will follow and implement the specification and the operation and maintenance. procedures established in the approved animal waste utilization plan for the farm named•,above. I (we) know that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste treatment and storage system or construction of new facilities will require anew certification to be submitted to the Division of Environment Management (DEM) before the new animals are stocked.

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. limitng_nutrient. Waste -should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual.soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be -balanced for realistic yields of -.the crop to.be grown. Several factors -are important in implementing'-your'waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe_ manner. Always apply waste based on the needs'of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the -waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than -the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as. they have different infiltration rates,.leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.. Normally waste shall ;not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5.,tons per' -acre per, year. With special -precautions;' waste may be . applied :to- land eroding at up to, 10 :tons -.per acre, per year.. Do not. apply waste on saturated soils, when- it is -raining, 'or when -the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in.runoff. to surface waters which is not -allowed .under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also -be considered to avoid -drift and downwind odor -problems . - To max; m;�++� ze the 'value of - nutrients for crop production and to.reduce'the potential for pollution; the waste should be applied to a -growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days.prior to planting.' Injecting the waste or.' disking will. conserve . nutrients and reduce" odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient -content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste - samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental. Management Commission. 1, 101 �..�.`�"`Q �ySrS?' n a3$t tS i ! • r �,J © �Y'T" � *! � 3Y S+ �`�.°n'r• �� � � i' �r } ' ki p f y�g�"*°����(�i{f� a{��r{ s �r �i "��J �...,_� ,5,.. <''. �'"]- A!y! s,.�'�II•ia r.

DEM USE ONLY:ACNEW# DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT March 10, 1983 MEMORANDUM TO Files FROM Dennis R. Ramsey, Regional Supervisor Fayetteville Regional Office SUBJECT: Hog Operation Complaint R. L. Hamilton Farms Erwin, Harnett County On February 23, 1983, Ken Averitte, Environmental Engineering Technician III in the Fayetteville Regional Office, received a complaint concerning the development of a hog operation in Harnett'County. The complaint lodged by Ms. Francis Hamilton, concerned a new hot waste holding lagoon being built across Highway 82 from her residence. She expressed concern that hog waste may be entering a nearby drainage canal. On Friday, February 25, Mr. Averitte investigated the complaint. The hog farmer involved, Mr. R. L. Hamilton, was contacted on the site of his new construction. This facility has a two stage lagoon system, constructed in accordance with the recommendations of the Harnett County Agricultural Extension Service. No discharge structure was found, and no waste was in the lagoon since the new operation has not actually gotten started yet. Mr. Hamilton has a smaller hog operation currently operating nearby. This facility was inspected, with no discharges of waste material found from an existing lagoon. Mr. Hamilton contends that there has never been any type of waste discharge and that application, when necessary could be done on near -by fields. He was advised of the illegal discharge aspects of hog lagoon operations. Mrs. Hamilton, (the complaintant) was advised of the situation that afternoon via a telephone call. Since there was no actual discharge::bf waste material, and therefore no environmental impact on waters of the State, it is the recommendation of this office that no further action be taken.

The discussion centered around the current waste utilization plan dated September 9, 1995. As you may recall the Notice of Violation dated September 22, 1995 required that you submit an approved animal waste management plan to this office on or before November 25, 1995. The plan, received October 2, 1995, included a Narrative of Operation that outlines steps to be taken to bring your farm in compliance with 15 NCAC 2H .0200. Mr. Blake has indicated that the first step, enlarging the topping lagoon, has been completed. He also indicated that a spray field has been seeded. Also discussed with Mr. Blake was that it appears that the plan has not been "Certified". It is the opinion of this office that the plan should be certified to .ensure that your farm remains in compliance with the above regulations. Therefore it is requested that you contact Mr. Blake and obtain the necessary certification. The certification should be obtained and forwarded to this office (at the address below) on or before January 5, 1995. It should be noted that Mr. Blake has indicated to staff that he believes that you are concerned with and very much want to remain in compliance with the appropriate rules. -continued- Wachovia Building, Suite 714, Fayetteville, North Carolina 28301-5043 Telephone 910-486-1541 FAX 910-48"707 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 5096 recycled/ 10% post -consumer paper Mr. Hamilton December 5,.1995 Page 2 of 2 As previously indicated, you are strongly urged to contact Parks Blake, District Conservationist with NRCS at (910) 893-7584 to obtain the necessary certification and technical guidance to ensure complinace.

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 February 20, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Randy Hamilton, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with General Permit AWGI00000. The issuance of this COC supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS430002 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 Randy Hamilton Farm, located in Harnett County, with an animal capacity of no greater than an annual average of 2400 Feeder to Finish, 550 Farrow to Wean swine and the application to land as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until October 1, 2004. Pursuant to this COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals. If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, careful evaluation of future samples is necessary. Should your, records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed. The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property. *Ah �EN Non -Discharge Permitting Unit 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 Customer Service Center An Equal Opportunity Action Employer Internet httpJ/h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ndpu Telephone (919) 733-5083 Fax (919)715-6048 Telephone 1-877-623-6748 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit dccumentation to the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to restocking of the facility.

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 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' .pla`n in.order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to 'ensure that it•i6 applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply .4aste,based,on the needs of .the crop to be grown and the nutrient donterit;'of the waste. Do not app y more nitrogen than the crop can utilize: Soil types are important as they have different infilitration rates,'leaching potentials, cation' exchange -capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special pre- cautions,'waste maybe appli..ed to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when .tire surface- is •.frozen. • Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems.' To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied.to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility: Acreage require- ments should be based on the waste analysis report from.your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation,- and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H..0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Actual total acres n the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the gables. I NOTE: 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 888 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge that will need to be removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when broadcasting the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well special equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the uti-lization of waste water. 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. Your facility is designed and the temporary storage 6 months.

If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. 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, climate conditions, and level. of management, unless there are regulations that; restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). 7f an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 1.0 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. (See FOTG Standard 3,93 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 Interim Riparian Forest Buffers). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur.du.ring a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in the NRCS Technical. Reference - Environment file 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 conditions conducive to odor or flies and'-o provide uniformity of application. S.

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 waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important, in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not-, apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infil.itration rates, leaching potentials, ration exchange capacities, anal available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special pre- cautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to* reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days: prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage require- ments should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. I This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with :1.5A NCAC 214.0217 adopted by the ]environmental Management Commission. a t WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE 2 AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.) 550 sows x 7.3 tons waste/sows/year = 4015 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGJN ("PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 550 sows x 6.5 lbs PAN/sows/year = 3575 lbs.

WASTE UTILIZATION PI.,AN PAGE 4 Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the usable arres 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. NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agr�ngmic 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 605 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge that will need to be removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when broadcasting the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well special equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of waste water. 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. 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 shoulc.i the volume of waste being stored in your'structure be within 1.6 feet of the top of the dike. 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 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 rate prior to applying the waste.

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 waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infilitration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special pre- cautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind'odor problems. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage require- ments should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. 11 This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management: Commission.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE 4 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 show'h in the tables. NOTE- 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 888 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge that will need to be removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when broadcasting the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well special equipment, may be needed w}len,you remove this sludge. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of waste water. 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. Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure be within 1..6 feet of: the top of the dike. if surface irrigation is the method of land a�plicati.on 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 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 rate prior to applying the waste. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE 5 NARRATIVE OF OPERATION: f WASTE; UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE 6 Plans: and Specifications 1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to assessment of civil penalties of $1.0,000 per day by the Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Field Office must have doclimentation in the design folder that the producer either has owns or has long term access to adequate land to properly dispose of waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. 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, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 1.0 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. (See FOTG Standard 3,93 - Fil.ter Strips and Standard 390 Interim Riparian Forest Buffers). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing. G. 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" in the NRCS Technical Reference - Environment file 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 conditions conducive to odor or flies and to provide uniformity of application. B. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall, events, or when the surface is frozen. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no more than 20 to 75 percent of the leaf: area is cove.i.ed . WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 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 a crop on bare soil. 11. Animal waste shall. not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips) 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right -of ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface wasters, drainageways, or wetlands by discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge into water courses, except when applied at agronomic rates and the application causes no runoff or drift from the site. 15. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to one (1) foot mandatory freeboard. 18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for.these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. 1.9. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and imple- mentinc a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 20. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept: on site.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE 4 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 ecuipment limitations. Actual total acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at acEronomic 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 605 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge that will need to be removed'on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when broadcasting the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well special equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge. , See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of waste water. 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. Your facility is designed for 1Ra days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must he removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure be within 1.6 feet of the top of the dike. 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 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 rate prior to appl.y.i.n�q the waste. e k w WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE 5 V NARRATIVE OF OPERATION: e IN 0 if WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE 6 Plans and Specifications 1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff., drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or .Land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Environmental Managements for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either has owns or has long term access to adequate land to properly dispose of waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility: 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, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than410 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 Interim Riparian Forest. Buffers). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing. j 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" in the NRCS Technical Reference - Environment file 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 conditions conducive to odor or flies and to provide uniformity of application. B . 'Animal waste shall. not be appl.i.ed to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no more than 2.0 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 19. Waste nutrients shall not be 7p li'ed in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils w th'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 a crop on bare soil. 11. Animal, waste shall. not be applied closer than 25 feet" to surface wager. This dimt:anca may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips) 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 1.3. 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 wasters, drainageways, or wetlands by discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways ghat discharge into water courses, except when applied at agronomic rates and the application 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. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to one (1) foot mandatory freeboard. I.B. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be -kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. 19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated the owner is responsible for obtaining and imple- menting.a f'closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 20. Waste dandling 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.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting.nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown ana the nutrient nitrogen than the crop they have different inf exchange capacities, an Normally waste shall no 5 tons per acre per yea applied to land eroding apply waste on saturate surface is frozen. tit to surface waters which conditions should also odor problems.
