Dear Don A. Gibbons:
In accordance with your application received on 22-Jan-07, we are hereby forwarding to you this
Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Don A. Gibbons, 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 Loblolly Farm, located in Moore County, with an animal capacity of no greater
than the following swine annual averages:
Wean to Finish: 0 Feeder to Finish: 2940 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 may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows
may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until 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 I11.19 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 shall 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
General Permit, an application for renewal must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration.
This COC is not automatically transferable. A name/ownership change application must be submitted to
the Division prior to a name change or change in ownership.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this COC are unacceptable, you have the right to
apply for an individual permit by contacting the staff member listed below for information on this
process. Unless such a request is made within 30 days, this COC shall be final and binding.
This facility is located in a county covered by our Fayetteville Regional Office. The Regional Office
Aquifer Protection staff may be reached at 910433-3300. If you need additional information concerning
this COC or the General Permit, please contact the Animal Feeding Operations Unit staff at (919) 733-

Subject: Application for Renewal of Coverage for Expiring NPDES General Permit
Dear Permittee:
Your facility is currently approved for operation under one of the Animal Waste Operation NPDES General Permits, which expire on
July 1, 2007. Due to changes in federal rules, facilities that do not discharge nor propose to discharge may choose whether or not to
retain coverage under an NPDES General Permit. Copies of the draft animal waste operation NPDES general permits and the State
Non -Discharge General Permits are available at http://h2o.enr.state.ne.uslaps/afou/downloads.httn or by writing or calling:

1636 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1636
Telephone number: [phone]
In order to assure your continued coverage under one of these two types of general permits, you must submit an application for permit
coverage to the Division. Enclosed you will find a `Request for Certificate of Coverage Facility Currently Covered by an Expiring
NPDES General Permit.' The application form must be completed and returned by January 2, 2007. Please note, you must include
two (2) conies of your most recent Waste Utilization Plan with the application form.
Failure to request renewal of your coverage under a general permit within the time period specified may result in a civil penalty.
Operation of your facility without coverage under a valid general permit would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and could
result in assessments of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day.
If you have any questions about the draft general permits, the enclosed application, or any related matter please feel free to contact the

OF NPDES GENERAL PERMIT NCA200000
NORTH CAROLINA
DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND

FILE NO. DV-2005-0006
FINDINGS AND DECISION
AND ASSESSMENT OF
CIVIL PENALTIES
Acting pursuant to delegation provided by the Secretary of the Department of
Environment and Natural Resources and the Director of the Division of Water Quality, I,
Theodore L. Bush, Jr., Chief of the Aquifer Protection Section of the Division of Water Quality
(DWQ), make the following:
I. FINDINGS OF FACT:
A. Don A. Gibbons, Jr. owns and operates Loblolly Farm, a swine operation located
in Moore County.
B. Don A. Gibbons, Jr. was issued Certificate of Coverage NCA263005 under
NPDES General Permit NCA200000 for Loblolly Farm on April 9, 2003,
effective April 9, 2003, with an expiration date of July 1, 2007. This permit does
not allow the discharge of waste to waters of the State.
C. Condition No. 1I. 1. of the NPDES General Permit states "The collection,
treatment, and storage facilities, and the land application equipment and fields
shall be properly operated and maintained at all times."
D. On March 30, 2005, DWQ staff inspected the farm as a result of a referral from
North Carolina Division of Soil and Water Conservation (DSWC) staff. The
referral stated that during a DSWC operational review on March 7, 2005, there
was evidence of a past discharge from a leaking irrigation air relief valve. During
the DWQ inspection, staff observed waste leaking out of the air relief valve and
flowing into an unnamed tributary of Richlands Creek, which is Class C waters of
the State within the Cape Fear River Basin.

E. Don A. Gibbons, Jr. had no valid permit for the above -described discharge.
F. The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures in this matter totaled $978.72.
Based upon the above Findings of Fact, I make the following:
II. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
A. Don A. Gibbons, Jr. is a "person" within the meaning of G.S. 143-215.6A
pursuant to G.S. 143-212(4).
B. The unnamed tributary to Richlands Creek constitutes waters of the State within
the meaning of G.S. 143-215.1 pursuant to G.S. 143-212(6).
C. The above -cited discharge constituted making an outlet to waters of the State for
purposes of G.S. 143-215.1(a)(1), for which a permit is required by G.S. 143-
215.1.
D. Don A. Gibbons, Jr. may be assessed civil penalties in this matter pursuant to G.S.
143-215.6A(a)(2), which provides that a civil penalty of not more than twenty-
five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) per violation may be assessed against a person
who is required but fails to apply for or to secure a permit required by G.S. 143-
215.1.
E. Don A. Gibbons, Jr. violated Condition No. H. 1. of the General Permit by failing
to properly maintain the land application equipment as evidenced by the leaking
irrigation air relief valve.
F. Don A. Gibbons, Jr. may be assessed civil penalties in this matter pursuant to G.S.
143-215.6A(a)(2), which provides that a civil penalty of not more than twenty-
five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) per violation may be assessed against a person
who fails to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or requirements of a
permit required by G.S. 143-215.1.
G. The State's enforcement costs in this matter may be assessed against Don A.
Gibbons, Jr. pursuant to G.S. 143-215.3(a)(9) and G.S. 143B-282.1(b)(8).
H. The Chief of the Aquifer Protection Section, Division of Water Quality, pursuant
to delegation provided by the Secretary. of the Department of Environment and
Natural Resources and the Director of the Division of Water Quality, has the
authority to assess civil penalties in this matter.

Based upon the above Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, I make the following:
in. DECISION:
Accordingly, Don A. Gibbons, Jr. is hereby assessed a civil penalty of:
$ 978.72
$ �-W 97'-72
for making an outlet to the waters of the State without a
permit as required by G.S. 143-215.1.
for violating Condition No. H. 1. of the NPDES General
Permit by failing to properly maintain the land application
equipment
TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
Enforcement costs
TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
As required by G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have
considered the factors listed in G.S. I 43B-282. I (b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public
health, or to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;

Dear Mr. Gilliam:
As per our conversation on June 23, 2005,1 have enclosed an example reclaimed irrigation system
permit draft and a copy of the 15A NCAC 211.0200 rules applicable to reclaimed wastewater systems.
You stated that it is your intent to irrigate a private golf course and airport runway with municipal
wastewater from a neighboring lagoon in Moore County. As we discussed, a system of the type you
described would require a reclaimed wastewater irrigation permit, and all regulations governing
reclaimed wastewater irrigation systems would apply.
I hope that you find this information helpful. It may be in your best interests to contact someone in the

FINDINGS AND DECISION
AND ASSESSMENT OF
CIVIL PENALTIES
Acting pursuant to delegation provided by the Secretary of the Department of
Environment and Natural Resources and the Director of the Division of Water Quality, I,
Theodore L. Bush, Jr., Chief of the Aquifer Protection Section of the Division of Water Quality
(DWQ), make the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT:
A. Don A. Gibbons, Jr. owns and operates Loblolly Farm, a swine operation Iocated
in Moore County.
B. Don A. Gibbons, Jr. was issued Certificate of Coverage NCA263005 under
NPDES General Permit NCA200000 for Loblolly Farm on April 9, 2003,
effective April 9, 2003, with an expiration date of July 1, 2007. This permit does
not allow the discharge of waste to waters of the State.
C. Condition No. II. 1. of the NPDES General Permit states "The collection,
treatment, and storage facilities, and the land application equipment and fields
shall be properly operated and maintained at all times."
D. On March 30, 2005, DWQ staff inspected the farm as a result of a referral from
North Carolina Division of Soil and Water Conservation (DSWC) staff. The
referral stated that during a DSWC operational review on March 7, 2005, there
was evidence of a past discharge from a leaking irrigation air relief valve. During
the DWQ inspection, staff observed waste leaking out of the air relief valve and
flowing into an unnamed tributary of Richlands Creek, which is Class C waters of
the State within the Cape Fear River Basin.

E. Don A. Gibbons, Jr. had no valid permit for the above -described discharge.
F. The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures in this matter totaled $978.72.
Based upon the above Findings of Fact,1 make the following:

B. The unnamed tributary to Richlands Creek constitutes waters of the State within
the meaning of G.S. 143-215.1 pursuant to G.S. 143-212(6).
C. The above -cited discharge constituted making an outlet to waters of the State for
purposes of G.S. 143-215.1(a)(1), for which a permit is required by G.S. 143-
215.1.
D. Don A. Gibbons, Jr. may be assessed civil penalties in this matter pursuant to G.S.
143-215.6A(a)(2), which provides that a civil penalty of not more than twenty-
five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) per violation may be assessed against a person
who is required but fails to apply for or to secure a permit required by G.S. 143-
215.1.
E. Don A. Gibbons, Jr. violated Condition No. H. 1. of the General Permit by failing
to properly maintain the land application equipment as evidenced by the leaking
irrigation air relief valve.
F. Don A. Gibbons, Jr. may be assessed civil penalties in this matter pursuant to G.S.
143-215.6A(a)(2), which provides that a civil penalty of not more than twenty-
five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) per violation may be assessed against a person
who fails to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or requirements of a
permit required by G.S. 143-215.1.
G. The State's enforcement costs in this matter may be assessed against Don A.
Gibbons, Jr. pursuant to G.S. 143-215.3(a)(9) and G.S. 143B-282. I (b)(8).

c� toi, — 3�01 - '15"'2
On March 7, 2005, an operation review was conducted of Loblolly Farm, facility number 63-5,
in Moore County. This review, undertaken in accordance with G.S. 143-215.1OD, is one of two
routine site visits scheduled for all subject animal operations in 2005. Staff from the Division
of Water Quality will conduct a separate compliance inspection.
• During the review, it was noted that there was evidence of a past discharge from a
leaking irrigation air relief valve. During an irrigation event on March 6, 2005 waste
leaked from an air relief valve into the farm path ditch and continued into a small
stream. Efforts were made to reduce the amount of waste that reached the small
stream.
It was for this reason that your operation was referred to the Division of Water Quality for
further investigation and possible enforcement action. G.S. 143-215.10E requires staff from
the Division of Soil and Water Conservation to notify the Division of Water Quality and the
owner/operator of these observed violations.
A copy of the operation review report is enclosed for your information. Site findings and
recommended corrective actions as discussed are noted in the comment sections.
Please remember that in order for your facility to remain in compliance with environmental
regulations, animal waste cannot be discharged into the waters of the State, and the animal
waste collection, treatment, storage and disposal systems must be properly maintained and
operated under the responsible charge of a certified operator.

RECEIVED
OCT 4 - 2004
DW-FAYEIIEVILLE REG10MLOFRCE
Subject, Letter of Explanation Pursuant to Notice of Violation Dated 9/15/2004
Dear Mr. Barnhardt;
In response to your letter of violation dated 9/15/04, I am writing the response to
your questions listed in the letter. First you requested the to know how this violation
occurred, then to list steps to prevent from happening in the future.
The primary reason for the lagoon being above the minimum freeboard was a high
number of storms from July through present, and because of the timing of waste
applications as outlined in the waste utilization plan, Beginning around the end of July I had
been hit by several of the tropical storm remnants, and heavy thunderstorms, which
prevented waste applications. I had began preparations to overseed my Bermuda fields with
rye as described in the CAWMP, and following the guidelines set up in the NCSU memo
dated 6/29/88 " Crop Management Practices for Select Forages Used in Waste
Management", I ceased irrigation events on the bermuda fields in August. The memo states
I can begin again after 9/15 to 10/30 with up to 50 Ibs PAN for utilization by the rye.
Remnants of Hurricanes Bonnie and Charley, brought my lagoon up very near the start pump
marker, in the lagoon, I was able to lower the lagoon to a reasonable level then T.S. Gaston
hit with over 3" rain in one day followed up by 2 more days of misty rain, at which time I had
to stop applications on Bermuda. I found that the fescue fields were very wet and thought I
would damage the field if I tried to irrigate too quickly. Before I could resume applications,
the remnants of Frances hit. The first day, 9/7/04, the storm brought another 1 44" rain,
which took me to the start pump mark. The morning of 9/8, I pulled out the irrigation reel
in preparation to apply if I had to in a hurry. Overnight on 9/8/04, we caught another band
of rain that put me over the start pump mark. I found the lagoon to be high on the morning
of 9/9, and was going to apply that evening after the field dried up during the day as no
more rain was in the immediate forecast. I work off farm and received a phone call at work
from my daughter that two inspectors were at the farm and wished to speak with me. I
spoke with them over the phone, and they instructed me that I had 48 hours to submit a
POA to your office about how I was going to deal with the problem. I completed the POA
with the help of Kevin Williams of the NRCS and mailed it within the 48 hours. I began
applying to lower the level that evening of 9/9. By 10 PM of 9/9 I had the lagoon level below
the start pump mark. I did not call DWQ to inform of a high lagoon level as I had made the
necessary preparations to deal with a high level before I actually crossed the mark. I
thought I had the situation in hand and the level would not be high more than 24 hours and
I believed I was in good shape,

rZz
The steps I am taking now to prevent this from happening in the future are to begin
immediately applying on the rye I seeded 9/24 and 9/25, following the current remnants of
75. Jeanne. I will apply the 50 lbs. PAN on the rye, and more on the fescue fields as fast as
I am able, Currently my lagoon is below the start pump mark and I have enough PAN
balances to lower the lagoon so that I can over winter comfortably. I have made
arrangements with a local landowner to apply on his fields should an emergency need arise.
Next year I will begin applications on the bermuda grass earlier than this year weather
permitting, I am going to meet with Kevin Williams to review my CAWMP, as Al Scoggins
pointed out that I should be able to add back some of the disallowed wettable acreage due
to using incorrect data when the former NRCS representative prepared them in the past.
This may allow me to move into fields to continue applications, where currently it takes more

Dear Mr. Rawls,
This is the response to your letter dated July 11, 2001, in which you served notice to me of a
violation of my general permit. I regret that this incident took place, and discussed at length the reason for
the runoff with Mr. Hasty at the time it was discovered. To make the issue clear, the events that took place
that caused the runoff are noted below. The irrigation event that I was working on when the runoff
occurred began when I started the system in the evening. The gun in the cart is supposed to turn to wet
the entire area as it is pulled in, the bearings in the gun assembly froze up and the gun would not rotate.
This was causing the gun to direct all of the spray into one area, which collected and ran to a drainage tile
on my property that leads to the adjacent timberland. I attempted to fix the gun as it was operating to
correct the problem. I tried unsuccessfully for the length of the cycle that I ran the system. I shut down the
system when I found I could not repair the gun. By this time it was late in the evening and I hadn't noticed
that the spray was running towards the adjacent property. The following morning when I returned from
work to meet Mr. Hasty he described to me what he had found. I explained the previous evening's events,
and why it had happened.
To stop the problem I purchased a new bearing assembly from Gra-Mac the following day and have
replaced the part. Mr. Hasty notified me that if ever it happens again, that I should take a load of dirt and
block off the the as well until it dries back out. I have discussed the rate of application for the irrigation field
with respect to slope with Jerry Pate and Angela Hill of the NRCS, and they had concurred with Ruth Kirby
and Gra-Mac's design when the system was first put into place. I believe that when the equipment is
operating properly that this will not cause a runoff. My error was when I found the malfunction I didn't
immediately shut down the system, but instead tried to effect repairs. In addition, I am going to calibrate
my system using the rain gauge method as demonstrated to me in one of the training classes I attended. I
will make the corrections necessary to the rate of application based on the results of the test.
Again I regret that the incident occurred and I will make every effort to prevent any such occurrence
from happening in the fuLure. I appreciate your help and patience, and will contact you if I need assistance.
Sincerely,
Don A. Gibbons, Jr.

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

Your facility is designed for,9W days of to orary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every MONTHS. In no instance should the
volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed the level of the start pump marker. ELFEV- tM e
Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or
Soil and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for
assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to
applying the waste.
NARRATIVE OF OPERATION.
This operation has a waste storage pond with 320 day of temporary storage. Fields
1,2, and 3 are established in bermuda grass and fescue as shown in table No. 1.
Fields 4 and 5 are established in loblolly pine. Due to field shape, buffers, and
irrigation system layout there is approximately 52.3 acres of effective irrigation
coverage. Effluent from the waste storage pond will be applied by irrigation
using a traveling gun system. The bermuda grass will be overseeded in cereal rye
in the winter (see attached Memorandum from Dr. Jim Green). As with any system,
the sludge will need to be removed at some point in tirne. when that becomes
necessary, a waste analysis will need to be run on this material prior to
application and a waste utilization plan prepared for the sludge. Additional lands
off site will probably be needed for proper utilization.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUMED SPECIFICATIONS
Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operationor land
application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
Illegal discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day
by the Division of Environmental Management 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 on which to properly apply the
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 (sample enclosed) 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. .
d. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RS)
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 Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 (Interim)
- Riparian Forest Buffers.]
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when the wind is blowing.
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 Techiucal Reference -Environment file for guidance.]

N
WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATION
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 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 not be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no
more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils
with a high potential for Ieach.ing. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should
be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released
nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop
on bare soil.
11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance
may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter
strips are present. [See Standard 393 - Filter Strips]
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those
owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-
ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands
by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted
wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical
specialist." Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge
directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at
agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
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.
Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for
direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct
human consumption it should only be applied preplant with no further applications of
animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the
temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall
be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be
required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds.
22. Waste shall be tested withui GO 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 hi the soil shall be monitered
and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive
levels. Ph shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and
waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application
records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application records for all
other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

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) 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 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 501bs/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 first. 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 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 tali) 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 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 (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 necessary because ryegrass growth during April -May will
reduce bermuda yields and shorten the time Bermuda can fully utilize the N. A harvest is
rewired 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
haivests 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.

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 tires 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-
36 inch stage of growth, the N rate ranges from 40-50 lbs/ton 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 bermudagrass 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.
Rescuegrass (i.e. MaWa)
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 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.

Raleigh, NC 27695-7620

919.615.7959 (fax)
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 to other cool season grasses such as fescue, ranging from 40-50 lbs/ton.
Rescuegrass 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.
