Type Operation: Existing Farrow to Feeder Swine
Number of Animals: 624.00 sows
(Design Capacity)
STORAGE STRUCTURE: Anaerobic Waste Treatment Lagoon
APPLICATION METHOD: 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
' ANIMALi :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,'wliich could'allow additional waste to be applied.
Provisions. shall be made for7the'area receiving waste to be flexible
so as to accommodate changing'w'aste 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.)
624 sows x 7.3 tons waste/sows/year 4555.2 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
624 sows x 6.5 lbs PAN/sows/year 4056 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.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the usable
acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches, odd areas

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 686.4 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 3432
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 11.44 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 27.456 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

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.
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.

runoff, draft, 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.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN
Proper lagoon management should be a year-round priority. It is especially important to manage
levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and wet periods.
Maximum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the receiving crop is
dormant (such as wintertime for bermudagrass) or when there are extended rainy spells such as a
thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means that at the first sign of plant growth in the
later winter / early spring, irrigation according to a farm waste management plan should be done
whenever the land in dry enough to receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in
the lagoon for future wet periods. In the late summer / early fall the lagoon should be pumped down
to the low marker (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage. Every effort should be made to
maintain the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as long as the weather and waste utilization
plan will allow it.
Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before starting to irrigated does
not leave room for storing excess water during extended wet periods. Overflow from the lagoon for
any reason except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of state law and subject to penalty action.
The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following:
• Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam. Fescue or common bermudagrass
are the most common vegetative covers. The vegetation should be fertf7¢ed each
year. if needed, to maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fertilized applied should
be based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not practical to obtain a soils test
each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas should be fertilized with
800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or equivalent.
Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may be done by
mowing, spraying, grazing, chopping, or a combination of these practices. This
should be done at least once a year and possibly twice in years that weather
conditions are favorable for heavy vegetative growth.
NOTE: If vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to enter the lagoon
water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating the waste.
Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of the lagoon
and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. Items to be checked should include,
as a minimum, the following:
Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes -- look for:
1. separation of joints
2. cracks or breaks
3. accumulation of salts or minerals
4. overall condition of pipes
2

Lagoon surface -- look for:
1. undesirable vegetative growth
2. floating or lodged debris
Embankment -- look for:
1. settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes
2. side slope stability — slumps or bulges
3. wet or damp areas on the back slope
4. erosion due to lack or vegetation or as a result of wave action
5. rodent damage
Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong
winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon dam.
A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action. If
wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffles in the lagoon may be
used to reduce the wave impacts.
Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam. If your lagoon has
any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with design and
construction of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary fix if there is a
threat of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the
technical expert Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious
undertaking with _potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless
recommended by an appropriate technical expert
Transfer Pumps -- check for proper operation of:
1. recycling pumps
2. irrigation pumps
Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or grinding
noise, or a large amount of vibration, may indicate that the pump is in need of repair or
replacement.
NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that
you are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform your
pumping system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This will
allow some safety time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly full lagoon is
not the time to think about switching, repairing, or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your
lagoon is full, your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an
inventory of spare parts or pumps.
• Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface drainage
waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets, and parking lot
runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste treatment or storage
structures. The only water that should be coming from your lagoon is that
which comes from your flushing (washing) system pipes and the rainfall that
hits the lagoon directly. You should inspect your diversion system for the
following:
1. adequate vegetation
2. diversion capacity
3. ridge berm height
3

Identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system
during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to
determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts.
You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then
record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This will
give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount
(you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in
planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may
have an overflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into
the lagoon from the surrounding land.
Lagoon Operation
Startup:
1. Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil
surfaces to avoid erosion.
2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before waste
loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes.
3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender on the end of the
pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial filling or another
means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of the lining.
4. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize bacterial
establishment (due to wanner weather).
5. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy
working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full lagoon liquid
volume. This seeding should occur at least two weeks prior to the addition of
wastewater.
6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below 7.0, add
agricultural lime at the rate of 1 pound per 1000 cubic feet of lagoon liquid volume
until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid pH is between 7.5 and 8.0.
7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate biological
activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is recommended if these
conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm season.
Loading:
The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the better the
lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily
are optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are
drained and recharged each day, also work well.
4

• Practice water conservation --- minimize building water usage and spillage from
leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through proper maintenance and water
conservation.
• Minimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted.. This will reduce the
amount of solids entering the lagoon.
Management:
• Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and the full
temporary storage level.
• Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the minimum liquid level
and the maximum liquid level. (Figure 2-1).
• Start irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring based on nutrient
requirements and soil moisture so that temporary storage will be maximized for the
summer thunderstorm season. Similarly, irrigate in the late summer 1 early fall to
provide maximum lagoon storage for the winter.
• The lagoon liquid level should never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest point of the
dam or embankment.
• Don not pump the lagoon liquid level lower than the permanent storage level unless
you are removing sludge.
• Locate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid surface and
as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible.
• Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-stemmed forage or vegetation, molded
feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon.
• Frequently remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or
wherever they are installed.
• Maintain strict vegetation, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges.
• Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embankment.
• Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is full or
before it sills 50 percent of the permanent storage volume.
• If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and
implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility of a pollutant discharge.
Sludge Removal:
Rats of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by:
5

• proper lagoon sizing,
• mechanical solids separation of flushed waste,
• gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or
• minimizing feed wastage and spillage.
Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will:
• have more nutrients,
• have more odor, and
• require more land to properly use the nutrients.
Removal techniques:
• Hire a custom applicator.
• Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper - agitator impeller pump through large -
bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland; and sot incorporate.
• Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or forageland; mix
remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator, haul and spread onto cropland or
forageland; and soil incorporate.
• Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or forageland;
dredge sludge from lagoon with dragline or sludge barge; berm an area beside lagoon
to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back into lagoon; allow sludge to
dewater, haul and spread with manure spreader onto cropland or forageland; and soil
incorporate.
Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste
constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different
nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields will be
limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field and crop
requirement. Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3.
When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage.
Close attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon .liner
remains intact If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you
should stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can
be removed without liner injury. If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as
possible.
Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and heavy metal content
than liquid. Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus and
metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of erosion.
Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil -test phosphors, it should be
applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. • As with other wastes,
always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value.
The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site.
Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which
could increase the concern of neighbors.

Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure
Lagoon failures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater . from the structure.
Types of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of
the dam. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for
ensuring structure safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures include:
• Modification of the lagoon structure — an example is the placement of a pipe in the dam
without proper design and construction. (Consult an expert in lagoon design before
placing any pipes in dams.)
• Lagoon liquid levels — high levels are a safety risk.
• Failure to inspect and maintain the dam.
• Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon.
Liner integrity -- protect from inlet pipe scouring, damage during sludge removal, or
rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater table.
NOTE: If lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving water will soon cause
gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly cause a large
discharge of wastewater and possible dam failure.

MAR 2 7 2001
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study Commission on Agricultural
Waste, was enacted by the 1996 North Carolina General Assembly. This legislation requires owner of a certified
operator for each animal waste management system that serves 250 or more swine, 100 or more confined cattle,
75 or more horses, 1,000 or more sheep, or 30,000 or more confined poultry with a liquid waste management
system.
Our records indicate that the operator designated as the Operator In Charge (OIC) for your animal waste
management system is no longer certified. Therefore, you must designate a properly certified animal waste
management system operator as the OIC for your facility. The enclosed designation form must be returned to this
office by April 1, 2001. This office maintains a list of certified operators in your area if you need assistance in
locating a certified operator.
Failure to designate a properly certified Operator in Charge for your facility is a violation of N.C_G.S. 90A47.2
and 15A NCAC 817.0201(a) and may result in the initiation of enforcement action. Please be advised that nothing
in this letter should be taken as resolving you of the responsibility and liability for any past or future violations for
your failure to have a properly certified Operator in Charge designated for your animal waste management system.
If you have questions concerning this matter, or if this office can be of further assistance, please call Beth
Buffington at [phone], extension 313.

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

Lagoon surface -- look for:
1. undesirable vegetative growth
2. floating or lodged debris
Embankment -- look for:
1. settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes
2. side slope stability -- slumps or bulges
3. wet or damp areas on the back slope
4. erosion due to lack or vegetation or as a result of wave action
5. rodent damage
Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong
winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon dam.
A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action. if
wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffles in the lagoon may be
used to reduce the wave impacts.
Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam. If your lagoon has
any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with design and
construction of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary fix if there is a
threat of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the
technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious
undertaking with _potentially serious consequences and should not be a conducted unless
recommended by an appropriate technical expert.
Transfer Pumps -- check for proper operation of:
1. recycling pumps
2_ irrigation pumps
Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or, grinding
noise, or a large amount of vibration, may indicate that the pump is in need of repair or
replacement.
NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that
you are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform your
pumping system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This will
allow some safety time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly full lagoon is
not the time to think about switching, repairing, or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your
lagoon is full, your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an
inventory of spare parts or pumps.
Surface water diversion features are designed to carry a# surface drainage
waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets, and parking lot
runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste treatment or storage
structures. The only water that should be coming from your lagoon is that
which comes from your flushing (washing) system pipes and the rainfall that
hits the lagoon directly. You should inspect your diversion system for the
following:
1. adequate vegetation
2, diversion capacity
3. ridge berm height

Identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system.
during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to
determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts.
You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then
record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This will
give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount
(you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work).- Knowing this should help in
planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may
have an overflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into
the lagoon from the surrounding land.
Lagoon Operation
Startup:
1. Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare. soil
surfaces to avoid erosion.
2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least- half full of water before waste
loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes.
3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender on the end of the
pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial filling or another
means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of the lining.
4. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize bacterial
establishment (due to warmer weather).
5. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy
working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full lagoon liquid
volume. This seeding should occur at least two weeks prior to the addition of
wastewater.
6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below 7.0, add
agricultural lime at the rate of 1 pound per 1 000 cubic feet of lagoon liquid volume
until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid pH is between 7.5 and 8.0.
7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate biological
activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is recommended if these
conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm season.
Loading:
The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the better the
lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily
are optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are
drained and recharged each day, also wont well.

• Practice water conservation --- minimize building water usage and spillage from
leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through proper maintenance and water
conservation.
• Minimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This will reduce the
amount of solids entering the lagoon.
Management:
• Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and the full
temporary storage level.
• Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the minimum liquid level
and the maximum liquid level. (Figure 2-1).
• Start irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring based on nutrient
requirements and soil moisture so that temporary storage will be maximized for the
summer thunderstorm season. Similarly, irrigate in the late summer I early fall to
provide maximum lagoon storage for the winter.
• The lagoon liquid level should never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest point of the
dam or embankment.
• Don not pump the lagoon liquid level lower than the permanent storage level unless
you are removing sludge.
• Locate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid surface and
as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible.
• Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-stemmed forage or vegetation, molded
feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon.
• Frequently remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or
wherever they are installed.
• Maintain strict vegetation, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges.
• Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embankment.
• Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is full or
before it fills 50 percent of the permanent storage volume.
• If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and
implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility of a pollutant discharge_
Sludge Removal:
Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by:
5

• proper lagoon sizing,
• mechanical solids separation of flushed waste,
• gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or
• minimizing feed wastage and spillage.
Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will:
• have more nutrients,
• have more odor, and
• require more land to properly use the nutrients.
Removal techniques:
• Hire a custom applicator.
• Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper - agitator impeller pump through large -
bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby -cropland; and soil incorporate.
• Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or forageland; mix
remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator, haul and spread onto cropland or
forageland; and son incorporate.
• Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or forageland;
dredge sludge from lagoon with dragline or sludge barge; berm an area beside lagoon
to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back into lagoon; allow sludge to
dewater, haul and spread with manure spreader onto cropland or forageland; and soil
incorporate.
Recardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste
constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different
nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields will be
limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field and crow
reouirement. Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3.
When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage.
Close attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner
remains intact If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you
should stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can
be removed without liner injury. If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as
possible_
Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and heavy metal content
than liquid. Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus and
metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of erosion.
Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil -test phosphors, it should be
applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other wastes,
always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value.
The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site.
Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which
could increase the concem of neighbors.

Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure
Lagoon failures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure.
Types of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of
the dam. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for
ensuring structure safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures include:
• Modification of the lagoon structure -- an example is the placement of a pipe in the darn
without proper design and construction. (Consult an expert in lagoon design before
placing any pipes in dams.)
• Lagoon liquid levels — high levels are a safety risk.
• Failure to inspect and maintain the dam.
• Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon.
• Liner integrity -- protect from inlet pipe scouring, damage during sludge removal, or
rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater table.
NOTE: If lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving water will soon cause
gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly cause a large
discharge of wastewater and possible dam failure.

Memorandum
TO: North Carolina Certified Technical Specialists
FROM: Dr. Jim Green, Chairman
NC State University Forage production Workgroup
DATE: June 29, 1998 I/
SUBJECT: Crop Management Practices for Select Forages
Used in Waste Management
The following is a four -page summary of suggestions for management practices for some
forage crops that can be used in waste management plans. These suggestions are a result of
discussions within the NC State University Forage Production Workgroup, a group comprised
of NC State faculty and N-RCS agency personnel with expertise with the crops.
There are limited documented research responses of some of these practices on the many soils
and environL--tents a,aere these crops are currently being grown. The Forage Producao-,
Work_ oup h?s taken the available data and used the combined experiences and
estimates of key people to corn up with suggestions that will allow farmers to incorporate
these crops and practices into waste management plans. As data become available to
substantiate or refute these suggestions, the Forage Production Workgroup will make
appropriate changes.
Bermuda Overseeded With Cereal Rye and Annual Ryegn=
Currently two types of `ryegrass" are being used for winter overseeding in fields used for
animal waste management. Cereal rve is a winter annual smallgrain that looks similar to
wheat, barley and oats. Annual ry Mss is a winter annual grass that looks much like tall
fescue. Both of these grasses, when growing during the winter on bermuda sod, can have
significant impact on subsequent bermuda yields. In effect, the total yields from an acre
growing the combination of bermuda with these winter annuals will usually yield between 1-2
tons more per acre than bermuda .growing alone for the year. Therefore, the total amount of
PART /acre for the year is about 100 lbs more than for bermuda alone. Although cereal rye and
annual ryegrass are suitable crops for overseeding, the management of the crops are different
and thus practices implemented are dependent on the crop selected..

Cereal Rye
The cereal rye should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter
growth. The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling rye into short (less than 3
inches tall) bermudagzass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short
bermuda sod followed by a Eight cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate
for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last
application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior to August 31. An
application of 50 lbs/acre of Plant Available N (PAN) may be applied between September 15
and October 30. An additional 50 lbs/acre of PAN may be applied in February -March. If rye
growth is harvested on time and does not significantly shade the bermuda, PAN'rates for the
subsequent bermuda crop are based on realistic yields of bermuda. A harvest is required prior
to heading or April 7, which ever comes f>;rst. This is necessary to minimize the potential for
shading bermuda and reducing its yields. The PAN rate for grazed systems with bermuda
overseeded with cereal rye must be reduced in accordance with MRCS Technical
Standard #590.
Annual Ryegrass
Annual ryegrass should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter
growth. The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling ryegrass into short (less than 3
inches tall) bermudagrass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short
bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate
for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 tunes the rate for drilled seeds. The last
application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior to August 31. An
application of 50 lbs/acre of (PAN) may be applied between September 15 and October 30.
An additional 50 lbs/acre of PAN may be applied in February -March. If additional PAN is
applied to the ryegrass in April -May, the PAN rate for the bermuda must be reduced by a
corresponding amount. This is pecessary because ryegrass growth during April -May will
reduce bermuda yields and shorten the time bermuda can fully utilize the N. A harvest is
required by heading or April 7, which ever comes first to prevent, shading of emerging
bermuda during April -May period. To favor the production of the bermuda, additional
harvests of ryegrass wM be required when the ryegrass canopy reaches 12 to 15 inches height.
The PAN rate for grazed systems with Bermuda overseeded with annual ryegrass must be
reduced in accordance with NRCS Technical Standard #590.

Eastern Gamagrass
Limited data are available on the response of gamagrass to various levels of N and soil types
in North Carolina. However, until fin-ther data is collected, the following guidelines may
be used.
1. On sandy textured sods that are well drain or excessively well drained, gamagrass may
yield similar to hybrid bermudagrass at similar PAN rates.
2. On heavy textured soils that are poorly to somewhat poorly drained, gamagrass may yield
1.5-3 times more than hybrid bermuda.
Gamagrass establishes slowly and will not usually produce much harvestable forage during
the establishment year. It is best to allow the growth during the seedling year to accumulate
for most or all season; if it is to be harvested, it should be done after full seedhead formation
on a majority of the plants. Therefore, PAN for the seedling year should be modified
accordingly. Overseeding gamagrass with winter annuals is not currently advised because the'
harvesting or grazing management of the winter annual crops during February -April would be
detrimental to the survival of gamagrass. Gamagrass should not normally be harvested or
grazed below 6-8 inches stubble.
Application rates are to be based on the realistic N rates that address the N needs per ton of
hay, a realistic yield and an appropriate application window. When harvested as hay in the 24-
36rinch stage of growth, the N rate ranges from 40-50 lbslton of dry matter. The PAN rate for
grazed systems must be reduced in accordance with NMCS Technical Standard #590.
The application window for gamagrass is slightly earlier than for bermuda; gamagrass stars
growing about 3-4 weeks earlier than Coastal bermudagrass and about 2-3 weeks earlier than
Tifton 4 Gamagrass is dormant from frost to March. The last application of PAN in the
summer should be prior to August 31.
Rescuegrass (i.e. Matua)
Rescuegrass is a cool season grass and makes most of its growth from Marcb-June and
September -November. It should receive most of its N during the September -October and late
February through May months. Limited data are available for realistic yields of rescuegrass
on various soils and at various N levels in North Carolina. However, until further data is
collected the following suggestions may be useful.
1. On sandy, well drained to excessively drained soils, rescuegrass may yield 1.5- 3 times
fescue, assuming a uniform and dense stand of grass is present.

2. On wet or poorly drained soils, rescuegrass may yield .75 -1.0 times as much as fescue.
3. On soils where both are well adapted the yields of rescuegrass may be 1-1.5 times more
than fescue.
The above RYE estimates assume that stand density is maintained through natural reseeding
every year. Although rescuegrass is a "perennial" it does not maintain dense, satisfactory
stands unless it is allowed to reseed every year. Even under this management it is likely that
disease will affect one or more growths in some years. -
Application rates are to be based on the realistic N rates that address the N needs per ton of
hay, a realistic yield and an appropriate application window. When harvested as hay, the N
rate is similar w other cool season grasses such as fescue, ranging from 40-50 lbshon.
R.escuegrass may also continue some growth in June -August if moisture is available. During
these off-seasons, rescuegrass should not receive more than about 25 lbs N/acrelmonth. Only
apply 25 lbs N/acre in June -August if the equivalent of 1-inch of water can be applied at the
same time. if the crop does not respond with at least a 1000 lbs of growth within a 3-5 week
period do not make another application until the plants have had the opportunity to use the
previous application.

Re: Notice of Transfer of Ownership
Slippery Rock.Farm
Harnett County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Howard:
Please consider this letter a notice of change of ownership
under Section .0217 (a) (1) (H) (xii) of your Department's Rules
for Permitting by Regulation, as codified at N.C. Admin.
Code tit. 15A, r. 2H. 0217 (a) (1) (H) (xii) (the "Notice Rule")
Specifically, this notice is for the transfer of the farm and
associated facilities located in Harnett County, and commonly
referred to as the "Slippery Rock Farm" (the
"Farm"). N.G. Purvis Farms, Inc. (the "New Owner) purchased
the Farm from its former owners, Leamon V. Pegram and wife,
Ann M. Pegram, and Dave D. Pegram and wife, Mary Ann Pegram,
all of Harnett County (the "Former Owners"), by
warranty deed dated May 5, 1998, as filed in Book 1270, Pages
353 and 354 of the Harnett County Register of Feeds Office as
filed on May 11, 1998 (the "Deed").
As required under the Notice Rule, please also consider this
letter an affirmation the New Owner has read what it believes
to be the approved plan for the animal waste management
system at the Farm (the "Plan"). Please also consider this
an affirmation that all provisions of the Plan have been and
will continue to be implemented at the Farm, as required
under the Notice Rule.
I apologize that we did not provide this letter within the
time frame specified under the Notice Rule. It was an
oversight on our part and was not intended to avoid providing
the Department with notice of the transfer, which we felt was
necessitated by conditions at the Farm and the New Owner's
contractual obligations.

As you know, the Farm and our relationship to it are the
subject of a lawsuit filed by the Attorney General's office
on behalf of the State and your Department on July 13, 1998,
in the Superior Court of Harnett County, case number 98 CVS
01047 (the "Lawsuit"). We very much regret that the
Department felt it was necessary to file the Lawsuit. We
have authorized our counsel record in the Lawsuit to request
an extension for filing an answer in the Lawsuit in the hope
that we might be able to provide your Department with such
information and assurances as you might require to satisfy
the concerns that gave rise to the Lawsuit.
In particular, we have requested Mr. Charles Case of the law
firm of Hunton & Williams to contact the Attorney General's
staff involved in the Lawsuit (or otherwise connected with
matters involving our operations or those of Purvis Family
Farms, LLC). Specifically, we have asked Mr. Case to assist
us in determining our obligations under the applicable
statues and regulations, and to explore whether there are
mutually acceptable means for resolving some or all of the
pending controversies. Equally important, we have also
authorized him to explore whether it may be possible to
structure a means for us to demonstrate our resolve and
commitment to achieving and maintaining compliance with
applicable standards and in trying to reach a better working
relationship with members of your staff, both at the Regional
level and at the Statewide level. For example, we have
discussed with Mr. Case the possibility of our entering into
an agreement of order or other similar document that would
provide a means of'assuring the Department of our ongoing
substantial compliance with waste management practices at the
facilities that we own or operate. It is our understanding
from Mr. Case that he has a meeting tentatively arranged for
Thursday, August 2.7, with the Attorney General's staff and
Mr. Ramsey of your Department.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions
about this matter. Thanking you in advance for your
consideration, we remain

Type Operation-'��LxiS�ig Farrow to Feeder Swine
Number of Animals: 624.00 sows
(Design Capacity)
STORAGE STRUCTURE: Anaerobic Waste Treatment Lagoon
APPLICATION METHOD: 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 iniplementing 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 adeu�,6p
AQtl�Y�at0rD�.i�bmr
strips are established. R ,,�n0N q-cos
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when %Ti6 jr4NgWing,
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.)
624 sows x 7.3 tons waste/sows/year = 4555.2 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
624 sows x 6.5 lbs PAN/sows/year = 4056 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.

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 686.4 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 3432
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 11.44 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 27.456 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
----------------------------------------------------------------------

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
--------------------------------------------------------------------
REOUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1. Animal waste shall. not reach surface waters of the state by
runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or

direct discharge during operation or land application. Any
discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the
producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate
land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does
not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall
provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who -is within a
reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for
waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the
facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization.Plan when
there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of
animals, method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the
nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type,
available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict
the rate of application for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons
per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding
at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year
providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves
the field. (See EOTG 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.
S. 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.

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

Memorandum
TO: North Carolina Certified Technical Specialists
FROM: Dr. Jim Green, Chairman
NC State University Forage roduction Workgroup
DATE: June 29, 1998 �/
SUBJECT: Crop Management Practices for Select Forages
Used in Waste Management
The following is a four -page summary of suggestions for management practices for some
forage crops that can be used in waste management plans. These suggestions are a result of
discussions within the NC State University Forage Production Workgroup, a group comprised
of NC State faculty and NRCS agency personnel with expertise with the crops.
There are limited documented research responses of some of these practices on the many soils
and environments where these crops are currently being grown. The Forage Production
Workgroup has taken the available data and used the combined experiences and realistic
estimates of key people to come up with suggestions that will allow farmers to incorporate
these crops and practices into waste management plans_ As data become available to -
substantiate or refute these suggestions, the Forage production Workgr oup will make
appropriate changes.
Bermuda Ovverseeded With Cereal Rye and Annual Ryegnm
Currently two types of ` ryegrass" are being used for winter overseeding in fields used for
animal waste management cereal- _ rve is a wmter annul smallgrain that looks similar to
wheat, barley and oats. Annual rveaMss is a winter annual grass that looks much like tall
fescue. Both of these grasses, when growing during the winter on berrmida sod, can have
significant impact on subsequent bermuda yields. In effect, the total yields from an acre
growing the combination of bermuda with these winter annuals will usually yield between 1-2
tons more per acre than bermuda growing alone for the year. Therefore, the total amount of
PAN /acre for the year is about 100 lbs more than for bermuda alone. Although cereal rye and
annual ryegrass are suitable crops for overseeding, the management of the crops are different
and thus practices nnplemented arse dependent on the crop selected.

Cereal Rye
The cereal rye should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter
growth.. The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling rye into short (less than 3
inches tall) bennudagrass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short
bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding raze
for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 times the rate for dulled seeds. The last
application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior to August 31. An
application of 50 lbs/acre of Plant Available N (PAN) may be applied between September 15
and October 30. An additional 50 Ibs/acre of PAN may be applied in February -March- If rye
growth is harvested on time and does not significantly shade the bermuda, PAN -razes for the
subsequent bermuda crop are based on realistic yields of beruntda. A harvest is required prior
to heading or April 7, which ever comes first. This is necessary to minimize the potential for
shading bermuda and reducing its yields. The PAN rate for glazed systems with bermuda
overseeded with cereal rye must be reduced in accordance with NRCS Technical
Standard #590.
Annual Ryegrass
Annual ryegrass should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter
growth. The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling ryegrass into short (less than 3
inches tall) bernmdagrass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short
bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate
for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 times the rate for dwelled seeds. The last
application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior to August 31. An
application of 50 lbs/acre of (PAN) may be applied between September 15 and October 30.
An additional 50 Ibs/acre of PAN may be applied in February -March. If additional PAN is
applied to the ryegrass in April -May, the PAN rate for the bermuda must be reduced by a
corresponding amount. This is necessary because ryegrass growth during April -May will
reduce bermuda. yields and shorten the time bermuda can fully utilize the N. A harvest is
required by heading or April 7, which ever comes first to prevent shading of emerging
bermuda during April -May period To favor the production of the bermuda, additional
harvests of ryegrass will be required when the ryegrass canopy reaches 12 to 15 inches height.
The PAN rate for grazed systems with bermuda overseeded with annual ryegrass must be
reduced in accordance with NRCS Technical Standard #590.

FQStan Gamagr=
i .united data are available on.the response of gamagrass to various levels of N and soil types
in North Carolina However, until fiuther data is collected, the following guidelines may
be used.
I. On sandy textured soils that are well drain or excessively well drained, gamagrass may
Yield similar to hybrid bermudagrass at similar PAN rams.
2. On beavy textured soils that are poorly to somewhat poorly drained, gamagrass may yield
1.5-3 times more than hybrid bermuda.
Gamagrass establishes slowly and will not usually produce much harvestable forage during
the establishment year. It is best to allow the growth during the seedling year to accutmilate
for most or all season; if it is to be harvested, it should be done after full seedhead formation
on a majority of the plants. Therefore, PAN for the seedling year &hould be modified
accordingly- Overseeding gamagrass with winter annuals is not cinTently advised because the
harvesting or grazing management of the winter annual crops during February -April would be
detrimental to the survival of gamagrass. Gamagrass should not normally be harvested or
grazed below 6-8 inches stubble
Application rates are to be based on the realistic N rates that address the N needs per ton of
hay, a realistic yield and an appropriate application window. When harvested as hay in the 24-
36 inch stage of growth, the N rate ranges from 40-50 Ibshon of dry matter. The PAN rate for
grazed systems must be reduced in accordance with NRCS Technical Standard #590.
The application window for gamagrass is slightly earlier than for bermuda; gamagrass starts
growing about 3-4 weeks earlier than Coastal bernnxdagrass and about 2-3 weeks earlier than
Tifton 44. Gamagrass is dormant from frost to March. The last application of PAN in the
summer should be prior to August 31.
Rescuegn= (Le. MaMa)
Rescuegrass is a cool season grass and makes most of its growth from March -June and
September November. It should receive most of its N during the S eptam -October and late
February through May months. Limited data are available for realistic yields of rescuegrass
on various soils and at various N levels in North Carolina. However, until farther data is
collected the following suggestions may be useful.
1. On sandy, well drained to excessively drained soils, rescuegrass may yield 1-5- 3 times
fescue, assuming a uniform and dense stand of grass is present.

2. On wet or poorly drained soils, rescuegrass may yield .75 -1.0 times as much as fescue.
3. On soils where both are well adapted the yields of rescuegrass may be 1-1.5 times more
than fescue.
The above RYE estimates assume that stand density is maintained through natural reseeding
every year. Although rescuegrass is a "perennial" it does not maintain dense, satisfactory
stands unless it is allowed to reseed every year. Even under this management it is rely that
disease will affect one or more growths in some years.
Application rates are to be based on the realistic N razes that address the N needs per top of
hay, a realistic yield and an appropriate application window. When harvested as hay, the N
rate is similar to other cool season grasses such as fescue, ranging from 40-50 ibs/ton.
Res=grass may also continua some growth in June -August if moisture is available. During
these off-seasons, rescuegrass should not receive more than about 25 Ibs N/acre/month. Only
apply 25 Ibs N/ante in June -August if the equivalent of 1-inch of water can be applied at the
same time. If the crop does not respond with at least a 1000 Ibs of growth within a 3-5 week
Period do not make another application until the plants have had the opportunity to use the
previous application.

Mr. Barnhardt,
FYI......... Just sending you an email confirming that Tim and I have been trying to get a
good time scheduled to calibrate his spray system. I've been working with Tim on cost -share
for a forced air composter application while waiting for the weather and 'wet soils' to
cooperate. I wanted you to know that Tim is not trying to put this process off any more than
myself.
From the looks of the weather forecasts for the next few weeks, we'll have some good weather
to finish the calibration. If you have any questions, please call me anytime. Thanks.

System before reaching the lagoon. The existing lagoon structure shall be properly maintained.
This Permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until May 31, 2017 and shall be subject to the following
specified conditions and limitations.

1. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
The animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system permitted under this
Permit shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to prevent the
discharge of pollutants to surface waters, wetlands, or ditches. Waste shall not reach surface
waters or wetlands by runoff, drift, manmade conveyance, direct application, direct discharge, or
through ditches, terraces, or grassed waterways not otherwise classified as state waters.
Application of waste to terraces and grassed waterways is acceptable as long as it is applied in
accordance with Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Standards and does not result
in a discharge of waste to surface waters or wetlands.
Facilities must be designed, constructed, operated, and maintained to contain all waste plus runoff
from a 25-year, 24-hour rainfall event for the location of the facility. If the Permittee is in
compliance with this Permit and the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan
(CAWMP), and unintentionally discharges as a result of a storm event greater than the 25-year,
24-hour storm, the Facility will not be considered to be in violation of this Permit.
2. This Permit does not allow the Permittee to cause a violation of any of the water quality standards
established pursuant to Title 15A, Subchapter 2B of the North Carolina Administrative Code and

implementation of the CAWMP. The Permittee must make "major changes," "revisions," or
"amendments" to the CAWMP, as defined in Section VIII, "Definitions," of this Permit, in order
to address any changes needed to maintain compliance this Permit. "Major changes,"
"revisions," and "amendments" to the CAWMP must be documented, dated, and included as part
of the CAWMP. "Major changes " and "revisions" to the CAWMP shall be submitted to the
appropriate Division of Water Quality (Division) Regional Office within thirty (30) calendar days
of the "major change" or "revision." "Amendments" are not required to be submitted to the
Division Regional Office unless specifically requested by the Division. If field, riser or pull
numbers are changed, an explanation shall also be submitted and include a description of how the
new numbers relate to the old numbers.
Any violation of the CAWMP, the Best Management Plan, or the Operation and Maintenance
Plan, shall be considered a violation of this Permit and subject to enforcement actions. A
violation of this Permit may result in the Permittee having to take immediate or long-term
corrective action(s) as required by the Division. These actions may include but are not limited to:
modifying the CAWMP; ceasing land application of waste; removing animals from the facility;
or the Permit being reopened and modified, revoked and reissued, and/or terminated.
4. A violation of this Permit may result in the Permittee having to take immediate or long term
corrective action(s) as required by the Division. These actions may include ceasing use of the

land application of waste, or removing animals from the Facility.

This Facility may not be expanded above the capacity shown in this Permit until a new permit
reflecting the expansion has been issued. Any proposed increase or modification to the annual
average design capacity from that authorized by this Permit will require a modification to the
CAWMP and the Permit prior to modification of the facility. All new and expanding operations
must demonstrate that waste management system will satisfy the requirements of G.S. §143-
215.10.I. No collection, treatment or storage facilities may be constructed in a 100-year flood
plain.
6. Facilities located in watersheds sensitive to nutrient enrichment may be notified by the Division
to conduct an evaluation of the facility and its CAWMP to determine the facility's ability to
comply with the NRCS nutrient management standard as it relates to phosphorous. This
evaluation will not be required until such time as the permittee is notified by the Division. The
evaluation must be documented on forms supplied by or approved by the Division and must be
submitted to the Division. This evaluation must be completed by existing facilities within twelve
(12) months of receiving notification from the Division.
For facilities located in watersheds sensitive to nutrient enrichment, all fields with a "HIGH"
phosphorous -loss assessment rating shall have land application rates that do not exceed the
established crop removal rate for phosphorous. There shall be no waste application on fields with
a "VERY HIGH" phosphorous -loss assessment rating.
A copy of this Permit, the WUP(s), approved design documents, as -built specifications, operation
and maintenance plan, and all certification forms shall be readily available at the Facility (stored
at places such as the farm residence, office, outbuildings, etc.) where animal waste management
activities are being conducted for the life of this Permit. These documents shall be kept in good

6. Animal waste shall not be directly applied onto crops for direct human consumption that do not
undergo further processing (e.g., strawberries, melons, lettuce, cabbage, apples, etc.) at any time
during the growing season, or in the case of fruit bearing trees, following breaking dormancy.
Application of animal wastes shall not occur within thirty (30) days of the harvesting of fiber and
food crops for direct human consumption that undergoes further processing.
If manure or sludges are applied on conventionally tilled bare soil, the waste shall be incorporated
into the soil within two (2) days after application on the land, or prior to the next rainfall event,
whichever occurs first. This requirement does not apply to no -till fields, pastures, or fields where
crops are actively growing.
8. No material other than animal wastes of the type generated on this facility shall be disposed of in
the animal waste collection, treatment, storage, or application systems. This includes but is not
limited to pesticides, toxic chemicals and petroleum products.
9. Domestic and/or industrial wastewater from showers, toilets, sinks, etc. shall not be discharged
into the animal waste collection, treatment, and storage and application system. Washdown of
stock trailers owned by and used to transport animals to and from this Facility only will be
permissible as long as the system can accommodate the additional volume. Only those cleaning
agents and soaps that are EPA approved according to their label, will not harm the cover crop,
and will not contravene the groundwater standards listed in 15A NCAC 2L may be utilized in
facilities covered by this Permit. Instruction labels are to be followed when using cleaning agents
and soaps.

10. Disposal of dead animals resulting from normal mortality rates associated with the facility shall
be done in accordance with the facility's CAWMP and the North Carolina Department of
Agriculture and Consumer Services (NCDA&CS) Veterinary Division's Statutes and regulations.
Disposal of dead animals whose numbers exceed normal mortality rates associated with the
facility shall also be done in accordance with the facility's CAWMP and NCDA&CS Veterinary
Division's Statutes and regulations provided that: 1) burial of such animals shall be done in
consultation with the State Veterinarian of the NCDA&CS Veterinary Division's Statutes and in
compliance with NCDA&CS regulations; 2) all such burial sites must be mapped, and the dates
and numbers of the animals buried by species and type must be recorded; and 3) the map is
submitted to the appropriate Regional Office Aquifer Protection Section within fifteen (15)
calendar days of burial.
In the event of a state of emergency declared by the Governor, disposal of dead animals shall be
done in accordance with requirements and guidelines dictated by the State Veterinarian according
G.S. § 106-339.4. The Division may require groundwater monitoring when there is massive burial
of animals. All burial sites of such animals must be mapped, and the dates and numbers of the
animals buried by species and type must be recorded.
IL Unless accounted for in temporary storage volume, all uncontaminated runoff from the
surrounding property and buildings shall be diverted away from the animal waste system,
including but not limited to lagoons, storage ponds, sludge treatment or containment areas, and/or
open storage structures to prevent any unnecessary addition to the liquid volume in the structures.
12. A protective vegetative cover shall be established and maintained on all earthen basin

necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the
conditions of this Permit.
VIII. DEFINITIONS
25-year, 24-hour rainfall or storm event means the maximum 24-hour precipitation event with a
probable recurrence interval of once in 25 years, as defined by the National Weather Service in Technical
Paper Number 40, "Rainfall Frequency Atlas of the United States," May 1961, and subsequent
amendments, or equivalent regional or state rainfall probability information developed therefrom.
Agronomic rates means the amount of animal waste and/or other nutrient sources to be applied to lands
as outlined in NRCS NC Conservation Practice Standards No. 590 "Nutrient Management" and No. 633
"Waste Utilization" or as recommended by the NCDA&CS and the North Carolina Cooperative
18

Extension Service at the time of certification of the Animal Waste Management Plan by the appropriate
certified technical specialist.
Amendment to the CAWMP means a change and/or addition to a part(s) of the plan, and requires that the
change and/or addition adhere to current applicable standards. The following are examples of
amendments to the CAWMP:
• In an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or cropping pattern that utilizes 25% or less of the N
generated is considered a plan amendment. Additional acreage needed to facilitate the change in crops
and/or cropping pattern is permissible and considered part of the amendment.
• The addition of winter crops and/or interseeded perennial crops are considered amendments to an
existing CAWMP when the operation does not require additional acreage and/or crops for N
utilization, and does not exceed the 25% criteria stated above.
• When a CAWMP cannot meet N utilization requirements due to land lost to irrigation inefficiency
(useable versus total acres), then the CAWMP may be amended to increase available acreage and/or
change the crop for N utilization. This is the only exception to the 25% N criteria for plan revision.
• Inclusions of emergency action plans, and insect, odor and mortality checklists are considered
CAWMP amendments.
• Including additional acreage for land application beyond what is required in the existing-CAWMP is
considered a plan amendment.
Animal feeding operation means a lot or facility (other than an aquatic animal production facility) where
the following conditions are met: (i) animals (other than aquatic animals) have been, are, or will be
stabled or confined and fed or maintained for a total of forty five (45) days or more in any twelve (12)
month'period, and (ii) crops, vegetation, forage growth, or post -harvest residues are not sustained in the
normal growing season over any portion of the lot or facility. Two or more animal feeding operations
under common ownership are considered to be a single animal feeding operation if they adjoin each other,
or if they use a common area or system for the disposal of wastes.
Certification means technical specialist certification of the CAWMP in accordance with the requirements
of 15A NCAC 02T .1304. It is unrelated to terms "Annual Certification" as used in Condition I11.18 of
this Permit, and the "No Discharge Certification Option" allowed by the November 2008 EPA CAFO
Rule.
Ditch means any man made channel for the purpose of moving water off a site to the surface waters.
Excessive Ponding means any area of the application field where visible liquid waste is ponded on the
surface of the land application site more than four (4) hours following the application of waste. Excessive
ponding also means any areas where the ponding of waste has resulted in crop failure.
Groundwaters mean any subsurface waters, as defined in 15A NCAC 2L .0102.
Land application means the application of wastewater and/or waste solids onto or incorporation into the
soil.
19

Major changes to the CAWMP means changes in the number of animals, type of operation (feeder to
finish to wean to feeder), retrofit of a lagoon, installation of a new irrigation system, and similar type
changes. Recertification is only required for major changes to the CAWMP. Major changes to a facility
must first be approved by DWQ. The new CAWMP and the certification shall be submitted with a request
that the COC be amended to reflect the changes. The facility may not make the changes until a new or
amended COC has been issued.
Revision to the CAWMP means a change to an entire CAWMP to meet current applicable standards. A
CAWMP must be revised if the operation cannot utilize all N nitrogen generated by the animal production
in accordance with the existing CAWMP, except for the specific conditions noted in the CAWMP
amendment criteria as previously defined. For an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or cropping
pattern that utilizes more than 25% of the N generated by the operation is considered a plan revision. Any
change to an existing CAWMP, whether an amendment or revision, must be signed and dated by both the
producer and a technical specialist for the new CAWMP to be valid. A revision of the CAWMP does not
require recertification.
State Waters means all surface waters, wetlands, groundwaters and waters of the United States located in
the State.
Surface Waters means any stream, river, brook, swamp, lake, sound, tidal estuary, bay, creek, reservoir,
waterway, or other surface body or surface accumulation of water, whether public or private, or natural or
artificial, that is contained in, flows through, or borders upon any portion of the State of North Carolina,
including any portion of the Atlantic Ocean over which the State has jurisdiction as well as any additional
Waters of the United States which are located in the State.
Waste means manure, animal waste, process wastewater and/or sludge generated at an animal feeding
operation.
Wetlands means areas that are inundated or saturated by an accumulation of surface or groundwater at a
frequency and duration sufficient to support, and under normal circumstances do support a prevalence of
vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions, as defined in 15A NCAC 2B .0202.

RE: State Individual Permit — Existing Animal Operation Narrative O,,AA``YYO
This operation was originally a 624 sow farrow to feeder operation owned and operated
by Tim Craig and family. The operation is located at 5220 Cokesbury Road, Fuquay Varina, NC
27526 in Harnett County, and the Integrator is Murphy Brown, LLC_
The plan is to physically remove the existing buildings, build 3 new buildings, 40' x 180'
O.D. with no increase in SSLW, within the original footprint of the existing buildings. These
buildings will house 2412 feeder to finish animals. In addition, these buildings will utilize a belt
separation system under slat, which will separate the liquid and solid manure streams.
This will be a full scale research project that will be in conjunction with NC State
University, with oversight by Dr. John Classen, and Mark Rice, who have experience in this type
system from prior oversight with a similar system from a NCSU research farm. Demonstration
of the under slat belt system is funded under a current CIG project. This system eliminates the
use of flush water and collects feces separately from urine and spilled water without flush water
as the belt moves under the floor of the pens. We anticipate showing that the belt solids are
suitable for energy recovery through gasification or anaerobic digestion and that the current use
of the liquid would be as a fertilizer_ With the high cost of nitrogen fertilizer and increased
emphasis on preventing environmental and ecological contamination, many producers would
welcome a system that makes better use of manure nutrients, particularly to fertilize feed crops.
We propose to pipe and collect the urine into a closed tank (size to be determined), at the end
of the buildings, that can be then pumped into a tank equipped with a land application injection
tool bar. This not only will provide a better use of the nutrient capability, but will also reduce
volatilization. The tank will be sized based on expected N concentration and the volume needed
to cover the emissions test area, a 30 ft. diameter circle. Ammonia emissions measurements
will be made during the transfer and during land application. The tank will have pipe coming
into the tank from the buildings and pipe leaving the tank going to the lagoon with a.slide gate in
the pipe exiting to the lagoon, so that liquid can be allowed to go to the lagoon, and it'can. ;!
utilized for storage, treatment and application as well. For permit purposes, the primary liquid
handling will still be the lagoon, the least restrictive N factor for land application purposes,' as"
NO solid manure will be entering the lagoon_ The majority of the N will remain in the liquid in
the form of NH4. For the time being, the solids will be composted. They will come'directly off,
the belt and be deposited into a truck or trailer for transport. This will all be under roof to shed
rain water.
Many producers are finding it necessary to retrofit or rebuild facilities as they age out.
Now is a golden opportunity for producers to explore the different technologies available to take

advantage of energy saving opportunities, as well as increased environmental stewardship. Our
objective here is4d quantify the performance of the system in terms of final ammonia
concentration, ammonia fraction and concentration to be land applied, and fugitive ammonia
releases during 'processing, and determine the final product and advantages that it has to offer
other than traditional land application. We believe that there is an opportunity for increased
fertilizer -value, increased environmental stewardship, and potential energy development.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Monday, March 12, 2012 Updated 3112(2012
Producer:
Tim Craig
Farm Name :
Slippery Rock Farm
864 Cumnock Road
Sanford,NC 27330
Telephone # :
[phone]
Type of Operation :
Feeder to Finish Swine
Number of Animals:
2400 hogs design capacity
Application Method:
irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be
used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where
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
contents 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 avaialable 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. This plan is based on waste application through irrigation for this is
the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you choose to inject the waste
in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for injecting waste and irrigating
waste 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. Attached you will find information on proper sampling
techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for ananlysis. This waste
utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

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 agronomic rates. The sludge will be nurturient 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 (PAN) 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 the 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 5.92 months. In no instance should the volume of
waste being stored in your structure be within 1 feet of the top of the dike.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsiblity 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.

PLANS & 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 Water Quality for every
day the discharge continues.
2_ The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either
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 10 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
Stantard 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 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" 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.
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.
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. 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
Page 6

and from any perennial stream or river (other that 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 landownwer.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right - of ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by
discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted croplands
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, 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. 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.
*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 as a preemergence with no other 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 fpr waste storage ponds.
22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually
at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining
element. Zinc and copper levels in the 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 amd maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for
five (5) 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 Department of
Page 7

Agriculture regulations.
* Liquid Systems

This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking,
overflowing, or running off site. You should not wait until wastes reach surface waters or leave
your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to ensure that
this does not happen. This plan should be posted in an accessible location for all employees at the
facility. The following are some action items you should take.
1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be possible.
Suggested responses to some possible problems are listed below.
A. Lagoon overflow -possible solutions are:
a. Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam.
b_ Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate.
c_ Stop all flows to the lagoon immediately.
d. Call a pumping contractor.
e. Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon.
B: Runoff from waste application field -actions include:
a. Immediately stop waste application.
b. Create a temporary diversion to contain waste.
C. Incorporate waste to reduce runoff.
d. Evaluate and eliminate the, reason(s) that caused the runoff:
e. Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred.
C: Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinklers -action include:
a. Stop recycle pump_
b_ Stop irrigation pump.
e. Close valves to eliminate further discharge.
d. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
1 December 18, 1996

D: Leakage from flush systems_ houses, solid separators -action include:
a. Stop recycle pump.
b. Stop irrigation pump.
c. Make sure no siphon occurs.
d. Stop all flows in the house, flush systems, or solid separators.
e. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
E: Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed to flowing
leaks- possible action:
a. Dig a small sump or ditch away from the embankment to catch all seepage, put in a
submersible pump, and pump back to lagoon.
b. If holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill holes and
compact with a clay type soil.
c. Have a professional evaluate the condition of the side walls and lagoon bottom as soon
as possible.
2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages.
a. Did the waste reach any surface waters?
b. Approximately how much was released and for what duration?
c. Any damage noted, such as employee injury, fish kills, or property damage?
d. Did the spill leave the property?
e. Does the spill have the potential to reach surface waters?
f. Could a future rain event cause the spill to reach surface waters?
g. Are potable water wells in danger (either on or off of the property)?
h. How much reached surface waters?
3: Contact appropriate agencies.

Mortality Management Methods
(check which method(s) are being implemented)
❑ Burial three feet beneath the surface of the ground within 24 hours after
knowledge of the death. The burial must be at least 300 feet from any flowing
stream or public body of water.
0 Rendering at a rendering plant licensed under G.S. 106-168.7
❑ Complete incineration
❑ In the case of dead poultry only, placing in a disposal pit of a size and design
approved by the Department of Agriculture
❑ Any method which in the professional opinion of the State Veterinarian would
make possible the salvage of part of a dead animal's value without endangering
human or animal health. (Written approval of the State Veterinarian must be
attached)
