oilseeds in the Commodity Loan Program at favorable loan rates; registering a
host of new crop protection chemicals; and developing better adapted cultivars
via publicly -funded regional breeding programs. These factors should signifi-
cantly improve the likelihood of successful commercialization of canola in many
regions of the United States (including North Carolina) over the next 10 to 20
years (Raymer).

Wild mustard and radish are problematic due to their similarities with
canola_ It is important to control seed production early by manual removal of
plants. Glyphosate is available for post -emergence control, but only when plant-
ing a Roundup Ready variety.
Canola is sensitive to herbicide residues in the soil, especially sulfonylurea her-
bicides. Most of the herbicides used on corn or soybeans preceding canola have a
rotational restriction of greater than eight months. Contact your county's Coopera-
tive Extension Service Agent for information on herbicide label restrictions.
Diseases
Diseases are currently not a major problem affecting canola production in North
Carolina. As production increases over time, so will diseases. The following dis-
eases are prevalent in canola production in other regions.
Blackleg is a fungus that survives on infected seed, canola residue, and some
weeds. The disease typically starts on the leaves and spreads to the stem. As tem-
peratures rise, cankers form, typically on the stem, cause girdling and premature
death. Blackleg is the most serious threat to winter canola production. The most
important management method to control blackleg is excluding it from an area.
This is accomplished by planting only disease-free certified seed treated with a
fungicide that is effective against blackleg.
Sclerotinia is a fungus that is most severe under warm, wet conditions when
canola is flowering. Symptoms include a prematurely ripened plant, bleached
stems, and hard black structures inside the stems.
Alternaria is a fungus that maybe present in crop residue, seed, and certain
weeds. Black, brown, or gray spots on leaves and/or pods are the common
symptoms. Seed yields may be affected in severe cases but this is typically not
observed.
Mil4ews, Downy and Powdery, and Black Rot are found in some regions of the
country. Rhizoctonia and Pythium, which cause damping off, may also be present.
Harvest
There are two preferred methods for harvesting canola: swathing followed by
combining or combining directly. Seed loss may result from either method if
done at the improper time. Winter canola flowers in March and April and will
typically be ready for harvest in late May or early June. As seeds mature, pods
will turn progressively from green to tan to black. Harvest should occur when
the majority of pods are tan and the seeds within are black. This represents a seed
moisture level of approximately 10 percent. Shattering may occur if there is a
delay in harvest once maturity has been reached.
Swathing
- Swathing is typically needed for cool areas when dry down is slow. Proper timing
for swathing would be when 30 to 40 percent of seeds in the pods on the main stem
have changed color, which indicates about 30 to 35 percent moisture. The swath is
placed on stubble for 7 to I0 days, or until the seed moisture is 8 to 10 percent.
Direct combining
Canola can be harvested with combines used for wheat. Caution should be taken
to plug up holes to prevent seed leakage. Canola should be cut just below the
pods with the reel high and over the table if possible. The reel and ground speed
should be about 1 to 2 miles per hour. Cylinder speed should be about one-half
to two-thirds of the setting for most cereals. Fan speed should be similar to that
used for wheat (400-600 rpm). Start with the rapeseed settings in your combine's
operations manual and adjust from there to improve performance.
Storage
Canola storage requires consideration of moisture and temperature conditions.
Seed moisture should be 10 percent or less and drying temperature should not
exceed 110°F: Relative humidity should be kept below 65 percent and the storage
temperature should be 50OF or lower if possible. Temperature should be main-
tained with aeration fans. Round metal bins that are weatherproofed and sealed
are best for storage.
ECONOMICS OF CANOLA PRODUCTION
As seen in Table 2, the per -acre production costs are very similar to wheat. Both
crops are planted in the fall and harvested in the spring and use nearly identi-
cal operating inputs. Production cost differences between canola and wheat
include seed costs and 30 percent nitrogen solution costs (canola production
requires more nitrogen per acre). Because of differences in combine speed 0.5
times greater for wheat than canola), machinery costs will also vary across crops
(Ferguson, et al.). Using the average 2005 price assumptions ($5.40 per bushel of
canola seed and $3.36 per bushel of wheat) and standard yield assumptions (40
bushels per acre of canola and 55 bushels per acre of wheat), per -acre returns can
be estimated. However, wheat yields have varied greatly across North Carolina,
mostly due to weather. To determine how you might fare with canola production,
insert known yields for your area into the enterprise budget in Table 3.
Average canola seed prices in 2005 ($5.40 per bushel) were about 15 percent
below the last five-year average ($6.36 per bushel), and over 30 percent below
average prices in 2003 ($7.98 per bushel) (Canola Council of Canada). if canola
seed prices climb back to these levels, the revenues and returns estimated in this
report will increase from the current conservative estimates. The "Freedom to
Farm" philosophy of the 2002 Farm Bill should also help the commercialization
efforts for canola and all oilseed crops. This bill removed many cropping restric-
tions and made it possible for producers to incorporate new crops (like canola
and other oilseeds) into their production systems. The 2002 Farm Bill and other
recent legislation has also impacted canola/oilseed production by: including
coverage of canola crops by Federal Crop Insurance; including canola and related
19

Fertilization
Soils should be tested for nutrient content and pH prior to seedbed establish-
ment. When sending samples to NCDA soil testing labs, select rape/canola
as the target crop. In general, canola requires 25 percent more nitrogen, and
similar amounts of phosphorous and potassium to winter wheat. Canola requires
slightly higher amounts of sulfur than wheat. See below for more information on
fertilization. Optimal soil pH for canola ranges from 5.8 to 6.2. Apply lime prior
to planting as recommended by the soil test. Like most oilseeds, canola is much
more sensitive to salt and ammonia injury than wheat or corn. Therefore, pro-
ducers should avoid direct seed -to -fertilizer contact. Drills with separate openers
for seed and fertilizer are recommended if applying fertilizer at seeding.
Nitrogen
Nitrogen rates depend on the amounts of residual and mineralizable nitrogen
in the soil and yield potential. Crop requirements range from about 140 to 160
pounds of nitrogen per acre (50 to 60 parts per million). Fertilizer should be ap-
plied broadcast, incorporated, or banded to the side of the seed. One-quarter to
one-third of the nitrogen should be applied at planting, and the remaining nitro-
gen top -dressed in mid-February or when the plants break dormancy. If nitrogen
is top -dressed too early, it may be lost before plant uptake; if applied too late, the
optimum yield potential may not be reached.
• Considerations for soil texture are important for late winter/early spring
nitrogen applications. It may be better to split the timing of the additions if the
soil is sandy and/or coarse textured. This may reduce the potential for leaching.
For fine -textured soils, one application may be suitable due to lower potential
nitrogen leaching.
Sulfur
Canola has a high demand for sulfur because of its high content of sulfur
containing proteins. Soils that contain less than 10 parts per million (about 25
pounds per acre) of sulfur should be amended with 25 pounds per acre. Sulfur
can be incorporated into the seedbed in the fall or top -dressed with nitrogen in
the spring. The recommended top -dressing method is to apply dry fertilizer. Ap-
plication of liquid foliar fertilizer is discouraged because of the potential for leaf
burning. Ammonium sulfate (21-0-24-S) is the preferred source for sulfur fertil-
ization, because elemental sulfur is not readily available to the plant. Ammonium
sulfate can be blended with urea or ammonium nitrate to supply the total nitro-
gen needs of the crop. The application should be made to dry plant tissue. Rain
will be needed to incorporate the fertilizer. Application of urea without rain for
over a week in hot, dry weather may result in significant nitrogen losses through
volatilization. Only 'A to'A-inch of rainfall is usually necessary to incorporate
urea. Timing the application within a few days of rain is helpful in increasing
fertilizer use efficiency.
61
Phosphorus
Application rates should be made according to soil tests for canola/rapeseed
production and applied in the fall before planting. In general, canola phosphorus
requirements are in the range of 40 to 60 pounds per acre (I5 to 25 parts per
million).
Potassium
Potassium in the soil should range from about 110 to 130 pounds per acre (40 to
50 parts per million). Similarly to phosphorous, follow soil test recommendations
for canola/rapeseed, and apply in the fall before planting.
Boron
Boron is needed for canola in small quantities. Soils with less than 0.5 parts per
million boron should be amended with a broadcast application of 1 to 2 pounds
per acre (about 0.5 to 0.8 parts per million) before planting. Boron should not be
band -applied. Again, follow the soil test recommendations for application rates.
Other trace elements.
As long as proper pH is maintained, trace element deficiencies should not occur.
Plant growth and development
Canola seedlings emerge approximately four to 10 days after seed sowing. As
the seedling grows, it develops a rosette with larger, older leaves at the base and
smaller newer leaves at the center. Rapid establishment of a leaf canopy will im-
prove competitiveness with weeds and increase chances of winter survival.
In general, plants with 6 to 8 large leaves and a height of 8 to 10 inches have
adequate growth for winter survival. During the winter, plants become dormant
and apparent physical changes take place. Leaves typically discolor, turn purple,
and die. As long as the crown (center) of the plant remains green, the plant will
survive the winter. As temperatures increase and the daylight hours extend,
growth resumes.
Flowering will be initiated in mid -spring and will continue for three to four
weeks. Cold weather or a late frost may delay the process. Flowers start on the
lower stems and develop upward on the stem. Seed pods replace the flowers in
the same pattern as flower development. Seeds will be mature approximately 35
to 45 days after flowering. (Refer to illustrations on back cover.)
Weed control
Trifluralin (several brands), glyphosate (roundup), and Sonalan (ethalfluralin) are
the only pre -plant soil incorporated herbicides presently labeled for use in canola.
All of these herbicides will control annual grasses and select broadleaf weeds such
as pigweed and common lambsquarter.
Sethoxydim (Poast), quizalofop (Assure II), and clethodim (Select) are all
labeled for post -emergence grass control in canola. Grasses should be actively
growing to attain best control. Crop oil adjuvants are recommended as well.

Midwest as the oil demand for biodiesel increases. Alternatively, North Carolina
farmers could grow canola, an oilseed that can produce over two times as much
oil per acre as soybeans (I 10 gallons per acre versus 45 gallons per acre, respec-
tively), and easily supply the states near-term biodiesel production. If North
Carolina replaced only half of its winter wheat production with higher value
canola, it would provide more than 30 million gallons of home-grown oil per
year that could be used for fuel production. Furthermore, biodieseI made from
canola oil has better cold flow properties than soy biodiesel, which means it will
operate in engines at lower temperatures (9' F lower cloud point than soy biodie-
sel). Additionally, canola biodiesel has a higher cetane number than soy biodiesel
and petroleum based diesel (56, 47, &'43 respectively). A higher cetane number
provides easier starting and quieter engine operation. Finally, all biodiesel has
excellent lubricity properties; therefore, it can be added to petro -diesel to provide
the needed lubrication once Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel fuel is required in 2007.
CANOLA PRODUCTION
Variety selection
Canola varieties have been developed as both winter and spring -annuals. Winter
varieties can easily be grown in the mid to southern part of the U.S. as a fall
planted crop, and have a wider geographical range and better cold tolerance
compared to spring varieties. It should be noted that canola planted in the spring
has shown poor yields due to lack of heat tolerance in the Southeast. Generally,
winter types have a 20 to 30 percent yield advantage over spring types. Over the
last 15 years, both winter and spring varieties have been tested in the Southeast,
including prior studies in North Carolina, Georgia, and Virginia. Most of the
North Carolina variety studies occurred in the early 1990s, while Georgia and
Virginia have participated in more recent years. Currently, a National Winter
Canola Variety Trial, initiated in 1994, is being conducted with North Carolina
added as a participant in 2006.
From 2002 to 2004, yield averages for four released varieties ranged from
1,189 to 3,553 pounds per acre (50 pounds per bushel) for canola grown in
Georgia and Virginia (Table 3). This yield range is comparable to other varieties
and years not included in the table for canola grown at these locations (for details
see http://www.oznet.ksu.edu/). Yields are not yet available for North Carolina, as
this is the fust year that the state has participated in the trials.
Planting date
Generally, winter canola should be planted six weeks before the first killing frost
(lower than 25 degrees Fahrenheit). Winter canola should be planted near the
beginning of October in North Carolina to ensure adequate growth prior to the
first killing frost. Plants will enter a dormant phase through the winter, typically
showing red to purple colored leaves. Growth will resume in the spring as tem-
peratures rise above 55 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

yield averages were calculated using data from 2002, 2003, and 20D4 (National Canola Winter.
Variety Trial, 2004).
Field selection and seedbed preparation
Canola grows best on a medium textured, well -drained soil. It does not tolerate
poorly drained or droughty soils. Preparation of a firm, high quality seedbed is
recommended to ensure good seedling emergence and stand establishment. If a
seedbed is too fine and overworked, it will lose soil moisture and develop a crust
easily after a heavy rain. If a seedbed is too coarse, improper seed placement may
lead to poor stands. Seed and soil moisture contact is critical for rapid emer-
gence, so seeding canola into dry soil is not recommended.
Seed size and planting rate
It is important that the grower know the number of seeds per pound of the
selected variety. Check the seed tag for seed count per pound to determine the
appropriate seeding rate. Winter varieties typically contain 100,000 to 115,000
seeds per pound while the spring varieties usually contain more seeds per pound.
Seeding rates of 5 to S pounds per acre or 12 to 15 seeds per foot are recom-
mended. A harvest population of 6 to 10 plants per square foot is optimal. Sig-
nificant yield differences usually do not occur unless populations at harvest are
less than four or greater than 15 plants per square foot.
Seeding depth and row spacing
Optimal germination and emergence occur at seeding depths of '/2 to I inch un-
der conditions of adequate soil moisture. Seeding at depths greater than 2 inches
delays emergence, reduces seedling vigor, and delays fall crop development.
The 6- to 14 -inch row spacing found on most commercial grain drills is accept-
able for canola, Narrower spacing allows more rapid row canopy closure, reduces
weed pressure, and may lessen wind shattering prior to harvest. Proper seeding
rates can be obtained using a grain drill with a grass -seed attachment. Canola can
also be broadcast with dry fertilizer and incorporated using a roller or cultipack-
er, but seeding rates should be increased by half_

Cornmercial processing (crushing) q1 canola seed is riot avezilable
in Raorth Carolina or neighboring slates as of September, 2006. It
will not be economical to grow canola in North Carolina until this
processing capability exists.

a varictNI Of rapeseed that was bred (using
conventional breeding techniques) to have
by definition less than 2 percent erucic acid in the oil and less than 30 naicro-
moles per gram of glucosinolates in the oil -free meal. These differences allow
canola oil to be used for human consumption and the meal for a livestock teed
protein supplement. Recently, canola oil has been proven to be an excellent feed-
stock for biodiesel production. and if grown in North Carolina, could provide the
oil needed to support future in-state production. furthermore, canola grows well
in North Carolina as a winter annual and could replace wheat in a wheat -soy-
bean -corn rotation.
POTENTIAL MARKETS FOR CANOLA
Cooking oil
Canola oil has the lo+vest level of saturated fats of all commercially available
cooking oils (7 percent) and zero trans -fat (trans -fats raise blood cholesterol and
the risk for coronary heart disease). As consumers become more health con-
scious, these benefits maize canola oil a popular coolant; oil and additive for pro-
cessed foods. In fact, canola production in the U.S., which Occurs mostly in the
northern Great Plains, has grown from nearly zero prior to 1986 to over 1.5 mil-
lion acres by 2003 (USDA Agricultural Statistics, 2006). Consumption in [lie U.4.
outpaces production nearly three to one with imports from Canada supplement-
ing the majority of the demand, furthermore, as of January 1, 2000, the FDA
required food makers to include the amount of trans -'rat in their nutrition facts,
which will cause even more canola oil to be incorporated into food products.
Livestock feed
Canola meal is a high quality livestock feed supplement and demand is grow-
ing. The U.S. Reports indicate demand to he approximately 1.8 million tons with
imports near 1.3 million tons (Northern Canola Association, 2004). Canola meal
contains 35 percent protein .and is complementar'to other sources (if protein
because of its high levels of methionine and cysteine as compared to soybean
meal and feed peas- Canola meal is also relatively high in fiber (12 percent) and
is a good source of essential mincrals, with especially High levels Of phosphorus.
However. canola meal consumption is limited by its relatively low levels of lysin".
Biodiesel production
In excess of 30 million gallons of biodiesel could be produced annually in North
Carolina by 2010 using soybean nil as the primary feedstock Currently a soy-
bean deficit state, North Carolina will lose more of its agricultural revenue to the

The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the wase utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of
cropland needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements,
and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake.
This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or
other by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each field
in order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included.
A balance of the total manure produced Eu ;« the total manure applied is included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the
manure generated by the operation. Animal operations that generate liquid waste and utilize waste storage facilities (lagoons or holding ponds) may apply more o
less waste in any given year than is annu illy generated by the facility. In order to determine whether the plan adequately utilizes the waste.produced by the
facility, the storage capacity table included in this plan should be reviewed to ensure that the design capacity of the storage facility is not exceeded during the
planning period. `
Depending on the requirements of the crop and the nutrient content of the waste, some nutrients will likely be over or under applied if animal waste is being
utilized. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle and annual soil tests are required if animal waste is being applied. Soil tests should be used to
balance the nutrient application amounts with the realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Nutrient management plans may require that the application of animal
waste be limited so as to prevent over application of phosphorous when excessive levels of this nutrient are detected in a field.

Dear Earl B Hendrix:
In accordance with your application received on 20 -Feb -07, we are hereby forwarding to you this
Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Earl B Hendrix, authorizing the operation of the subject animal
waste management system in accordance with General Permit AWG 100000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
and land application of animal waste as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management
Plan (CAWMP) for the Hendrix Livestock Inc., located in Hoke County, with an animal capacity of no
greater than the following swine annual averages:
Wean to Finish: 0 Feeder to Finish: 5000 Boar/Stud: 0
Wean to Feeder: 0 Farrow to Wean: 0 Gilts: 0
Farrow to Finish: 0 Farrow to Feeder: 0
If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows.
Where boars are unneccessary, they maybe replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows
may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2009 and replaces the NPDES
COC issued to this facility with an expiration date of July 1, 2007. You are required to continue
conducting annual surveys of sludge accumulation in all lagoons at your facility; the one-year extension
in Condition 111. 19 does not apply.
Pursuant to this COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the
conditions and limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An
adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information
must be established for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design
capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a
modification to the CAWMP and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either
wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Enclosed for your convenience is
a package containing the new and revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please pay
careful attention to the record keeping and monitoring conditions in this permit.

If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site -specific information, careful evaluation
of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is
inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed.
The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property.
Upon abandonment or. depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit
documentation to the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to restocking
of the facility.
Per 15A NCAC 02T .0111(c) a compliance boundary is provided for the facility and no new water supply
wells shal be constructed within the compliance boundary. Per NRCS standards a 100-foot separation
shall be maintained between water supply wells and any lagoon, storage pond, or any wetted area of a
spray field.
Per 15A NCAC 02T .1306, any containment basin, such as a lagoon or waste storage structure, shall
continue to be subject to the conditions and requirements of the facility's permit until closed to NRCS
standards and the permit is rescinded by the Division.
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the General Permit
or the CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance with NCGS 143-
215.6A through 143-215.6C-including civil penalties, criminal penalties, and injunctive relief.
If you wish to continue the activity permitted under the General Permit after the expiration date of the

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

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

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
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 that reaches
surface water. is prohibited.
2. There must -be documentation in the design folder that the producer
either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to
properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to
properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an
agreement with a landowner, who is within.a reasonable proximity,
allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the
responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to secure an
update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the'.
operation, increase in'the number of animals, method of application,
receiving crop type, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs
for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture,
historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless '~
there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other
nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre
per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per
acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter
strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field
Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste
application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift
from the land application, field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste
will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is
applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be
broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone
to flooding (see "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance).
.",
585409 Database Version 1.06 Date Panted: 03-05-2001 Specification Page 1

7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to'exceed the soil infiltration
rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a
method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No
ponding should occur in order to control odor and flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall
events, or when the soil surface is frozen..
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a
manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would
inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should
also be considered.
10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring
planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient
loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable
winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not
be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages
breaking dormancy.
r, 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply
with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which
waste is applied from a lagoon that. is a component of a swine farm shall
be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal.

{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 not 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 DEM regulations.
Page: 1

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
S. 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.)
5000 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 9500 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
5000 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 11500 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.

odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving
full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total
acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the
acres shown in the tables.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of
animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land
application of -sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient
rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application
of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce
approximately 1850 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 9250
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 30.8333333333 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 74 acres -
of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on your
sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application
methods.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the
soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This
rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil
texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount
should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the
time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed
the nitrogen needs of the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan,
it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure
that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres
shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
Page: 6

* This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil
assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over
applied. In many situations, the application amount shown cannot
be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil
conditions.
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 stracture 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.

Hendrix has more than enough land to apply his waste on if there is to be a
change.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
I. 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 gr --?:ss filter strips are installed where runoff leaves
the field.See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strip)
5. Odors can b!2 reduced by injecting the waste or disking after
waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is
danger of dr_ft 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 -n 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'wat,�_-as and in a method which does not cause drift from
the site dur_ng application. No ponding should occur in order
to control odor or flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during
rainfall ev_nts, or when the surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such
a manner the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that
would inhibi_ growth. The potential for salt damage from animal
waste should also be considered.

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for
spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for
leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be
held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to
take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more
than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking
dormancy.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall
comply with -he following: The outer perimeter of the land area
onto which .erste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of
a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential
property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other
than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than
swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995),
shall not tie applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters.
(See Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
12. Animal wase:, shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to
wells.
13. Animal shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of
dwellings -.lar than those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shy.== :3e applied in a manner not to reach other property
and public r_`ght-of-ways.
15. Animal was -_e shall not be discharged into surface waters,
drainagewa-s, or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying.
Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided
they have _aan approved as a land application site by a
"technical s-�ecialistll. Animal waste shall not be applied on
grassed water-.aays that discharges directly inton water courses,
and on ot!,.=-_ grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at
agronomic r,es in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from
the site.
16. Domestic an -d industrial waste from washdown facilities,
showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the
animal wast management system.
17. A protect: 1".-e- cover of appropriate vegetation will be
establis'­__ 7n all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms,
pipe runs, c.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to
protect t._ -sgetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and
other wooc_•,-.3zecies, etc., are limited to areas where considered
appropriae Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible.
Berms and vz�uctures 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
possibilit-y of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
19. Waste handing structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should
be inspec::•-�•._ on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks,
and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on
site.
20..Animal was -c -e can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables
and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if
animal is used on crops for direct human consumption it
should c lsr be applied preplant with no further applications of
animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly v•c_Dle markers shall be installed to mark the top and
bottom e .tions of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of
all wast-, •-_:2atment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to
mainta-Ln liquid level between the markers. A marker will
be requir=,. to mark the maximum storage volume for waste
storage
22. Waste stall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil
shall be .ted at least annually at crop sites where waste
products applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining
element. .-inc and copper levels in the soils shall be
monitorei.=. and alternative crop sites shall be used when thes
metals �_.:-_�ach excessive levels.. pH shall be adjusted for
optimum production and maintained. Soil and waste
analysis _a-_-_rds shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry
waste a,-:-- _ ._ _ ;t ion records shall be maintained for three ( 3 )
years. application records for all other waste shall be
maintain` ;or five ( 5 ) years.
23. Dead anim-7,_s will be disposed of in a manner that meets North
Caroling. _ .­ulations.
