The plan is based on average manure generation values and average nutrient content for your type of facility. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops you will grow, their nutrient requirements, and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake. This manure nutrient utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting (priority) nutrient The planis based .on typical manure production rates and average nutrient contents for this type of facility. Your actual production and nutrient values may vary. by 20% or more.. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can use. Implementation of the plan based on actual analysis may require additional acres or reduction in stocking rates to ensure that nutrients are not applied in excess of agronomic rates. This plan consists of • Description of your production facility and waste handling method • Estimate of manure produced on your farm • Fields and Crops which will receive manure nutrients = CFS Maps by tract and field Soils Maps Perennial Streams and Buffers • Estimate of acres required to use manure nutrients at agronomic rated • Irrigation Plan • Standards and specifications which must be followed The following records must be maintained for five years: • Manure nutrients (should be analyzed within 60 days of each application). • Soil test reports, sampled at least every two years • Manure application records If implemented according to these specifications, this manure nutrients management plan meets the requirements for compliance with l SA NCAC 2H.0217 -adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

If applying waste nutrients through an irrigation system, you must apply at a rate that will not result in runoff. For your most limiting site, this is _ . 75" inches per hour. (See Tables 1 for recommended rates on a field by field basis.) Furthermore, you should not apply more than _50" in any one application event. Sludge Accumulation in Anaerobic Lagoons Over a 15 year period you will generate 441,000 gal of sludge. You will need to make plans to land apply this material. The current manure nutrients utilization plan includes an estimate of land required for these applications based on the Tables in NRCS Standard 633, and the N requirement of bermuda gown on a Ailey soil. At the time of application, you must have the sludge analyzed and make applications at agronomic rates based on the results. Since the nutrient concentrations of sludge can be much higher than those of lagoon liquids, you will either need to plan for extra land to receive these nutrients or make arrangements with a nearby landowner to apply your sludge material.

It also includes a more detailed description of useable acres (based on traditional irrigation design figures) and the location of each irrigation traveler pull. See Table 1 "Field Specifications" and Table 2 "Irrigation Parameters". Field number 1, which was previously planted in summer and winter annuals, is now planted in permanent matua pasture. Matua is a cool season bromegrass. The correct Nitrogen rate is still being researched. It is beleived the rate is similar to that of hybrid bermuda. This plan has set a conservative rate of 200 lbs N/a_ Fields 2-4 have also been changed to include an overseed of winter rye to provide a larger window of waste application. The plan has also been updated to include the emergency action plan, odor and insect control checklist, irrigation parameters and settings, irrigation schedule, cropping narrative, field map showing individual irrigation pulls, the producers operator certification, calibration instructions, and a copy of the latest rules and requirements. Signed, t of Certified Tech Specialist NC Coop Ext. Service Richmond, Scotland, Hoke Co. CROPPING NARRATIVE Triple A Farms has 8.4 acres of Hybrid Bermudagrass pasture land that will be overseeded in winter rye as well as 2.4 acres planted in matua (cool seson grass) available for land application of the 798,000 gallons of lagoon liquid generated on site. The forages will be harvested primarily by grazing. The bermuda will be utilized in the summer months and the matua in the fail/winter. Using 2.6 lbs N/1,000 gallons of waste , which is the higher of the two most recent waste analyses (2.5, 2.6), the operation generates approx. 2075 lbs N that needs to be utilized. Using NRCS Realistic Yield Expectations and recommended N rates (see previous page) Triple A Farms can utilize as much as 2355 lbs N with this cropping system. The difference between the amount of nitrogen needed and the amount of nitrogen generated is 280 lbs N. Applications of waste can be made to the Bermudagrass as early as 30 days prior to green up until growth and nitrogen uptake slows. For our area this will provide a window from about March 15th (or 1 week after the last 32 degree temp.) until August 15th. Annual soil tests should be made to ensure that the proper lime and K (potash) levels are maintained to achieve maximum growth and N uptake. When harvesting Bermudagrass as hay, make the first cutting when the plants are 12-15 inches tall and every 4-6 weeks afterwards. Apply N when spring growth begins and then after each cutting. When grazing Bermudagrass the best performance and utilization occurs when animals graze on plants no taller than 4--5" and no lower than 1.5-211. Split N applications into April, June, and July. See attached Bermudagrass management info Application of waste to matua grass can be made from late August until April during its peak growth period, with the best months being September and February -March. Research is still being conducted to discover what the proper N rate should be. This plan has set a max rate of 200 lbs/acre. Apply nitrogen February 1 to March 1, and in early September, using equal amounts at each date_ Soil test should be taken to monitor pH, phosphorus and potassium levels. Fields should be limed according to soil test as required by senate bill 1217. Phosphorus and potassium can be applied at the time of the first N application. Matua must also be managed carefully to maintain an active stand. Cattle should be controlled grazed to prevent them from overgrazing and damaging the stand. It should not be grazed lower than 3-4 inches. Matua must also be allowed to re -seed itself each year. According to the recently passed senate bill 1217, the maximum rate of nitrogen that can be applied to a winter annual overseeded into bermuda is So lbs N/acre. The best way to apply this is in split applications with half the N in the fall around September or October at planting and the other half in late February as_early spring growth begins. Soil test should be taken and are now required by law, to monitor pH, phosphorus, and potassium levels to ensure good crop growth. Zn and Cu levels must also be monitored and technical assistance sought when index levels reach 700 or more. Lime, Ph, and K should be applied according to soil test reports. ti'i —b f UIi{i1 v YOUR WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN IS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING: NITROGEN GENERATED 4,200 nursery pigs x 190 gal/head/year = 798,000 798,000 gallons of lagoon liquid produced annually 2.6 lbs PAN/1,000 gal liquid (see attached waste analyses) 798,000 x 2.6/ 1,000 = 2075 lbs.

The plant nuhients in the animal waste should be used to redg a amount of commercial fmt i= required for the crops in the fields where a waste is to This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nudiML Waste should be anahwd before each application cycle. Annual soil tuts are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. i Several factors are important in implg your waste utilization plan in order to maaamiixe the f r izer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. -Always apply waste based on the needs ofthe crop to be grown and the nutiie.nt content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can ut ire. Sod types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capackhr, and available water holding capacities.. Normally waste shaU not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per arse 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 satmnted sow when it is rax ing, or when the sw f tc a is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in nmoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind condiftcm should also be twnwtered to avoid drift and doted odor problems. To maze the value of mmients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing coop or applied to bare Wound 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 anal waste is based on typical nutrient. content for this type offacflrty. Acreage requireumu should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facffity. Attached you will find information on proper samphg techniques, preparWon, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for anahYsis.

Field number 1, which was previously planted in summer and winter annuals, is now planted in permanent matua pasture. Matua is a cool season bromegrass. The correct Nitroaen rate is st_ll being researched. it is beleived the rate is similar to that of hybrid bermuda. This plan has set a conservative rate of 200 lbs N/a_ Fields 2-4 have also been changed to include an overseed of. winter rye to provide a larger window of waste application. The plan has also been updated to include the emergency action plan, odor and insect control checklist, irrigation parameters and settings, irrigation schedule, croppina narrative, field map show:ng individual irrigation pulls, the producers operator certification, calibration instructions, and a copy of the latest rules and requirements.

The plan is based on average manure generation values and average nutrient content for your type of facility. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops you will grow, their nutrient requirements, and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake. This manure nutrient utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting (priority) nutrient The ' is based on typical manure production rates and average nutrient contents for this type of facility. Your actual. production and nutrient values may Crary. by 20% or more. -Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can use. Implementation of the plan based on actual analysis may require additional acres or reduction in stocking rates to ensure that nutrients are not applied in excess of agronomic rates. This plan consists of • Description of your production facility and waste handling method • Estimate of manure produced on your farm • Fields and Crops which will receive manure nutrients CFS Maps by tract and field Soils Maps => Perennial Streams and Buffers • Estimate of acres required to use manure nutrients at agronomic rated • Irrigation Plan • Standards and specifications which must be followed The following records must be maintained for five years: • Manure nutrients (should be analyzed within 60 days of each application). • Soil test reports, sampled at least every two years • Manure application. records - ,r r If implemented according to these specifications, this manure nutrients management plan meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 -adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

The forages will be harvested primarily by grazing. The bermuda will be utilized in the summer months and the matua in the fall/winter. Using 2.6 lbs N/1,000 gallons of waste , which is the higher of the two most recent waste analyses (2.5, 2.6), the operation generates approx. 2075 lbs N that needs to be utilized. Using NRCS Realistic Yield Expectations and recommended N rates (see previous page) Triple A Farms can utilize as much as,2225 lbs N with this cropping system. The difference between the amount of nitrogen needed and the amount of nitrogen generated is 150 lbs N. Applications of waste can be made to the Bermudagrass as early as 30 days prior to green up until growth and nitrogen uptake slows. For our area this will provide a window from about March 15th (or 1 week after the last 32 degree temp.) until August 15th. Annual soil tests should be made to ensure that the proper lime and K (potash) levels are maintained to achieve maximum growth and N uptake. When harvesting Bermudagrass as hay, make the first cutting when the plants are 12-15 inches tall and every 4-6 weeks afterwards. Apply N when spring growth begins and then after each cutting. When grazing Bermudagrass the best performance and utilization occurs when animals graze on plants no taller than 4-5" and no lower than 1.5-211. Split'N applications into April, June, and July. See attached Bermudagrass management info Application of waste to matua grass can be made from late August until April during its peak growth period, with the best months being September and February -March. Research is still being conducted to discover what the proper N rate should be. This plan has set a max rate of 200 lbs/acre. Apply nitrogen February 1 to March 1, and in early September, using equal amounts at each date. Soil test should be taken to monitor pH, phosphorus and potassium levels. Fields should be limed according to soil test as required by senate bill 1217. Phosphorus and potassium can be applied at the time of the first N application. Matua must also be managed carefully to maintain an active stand. Cattle should be controlled grazed to prevent them from overgrazing and damaging the stand. It should not be grazed lower than 3-4 inches. Matua must also be allowed to re -seed itself each year. f� AW OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS Setbacks: There are two wells on this site which must be considered when applying waste. A setback of 100 feet from these wells has been considered when measuring the effective application area. There are two wells adjacent to field one. The Nelson 100 gun used with this irrigation system throws water 145 feet from the gun cart, therefore to maintain the 100 foot setback from the well the gun cart must always be at least at least 245 feet the above mentioned wells in its course of travel. Because wind can greatly effect spray pattern, it is recommended that waste applications not be made when wind speed exceeds 5 mph. ll In positioning the gun cart for making pulls, the cart should J start or stop 101 feet from the edge of the area you wish to irrigate. The lane spacing for this system is 203 feet, thus the gun will effectively irrigate 101.5 feet to the sides of the cart. The gun will wet the ground 145 feet from the cart; therefore, the cart should not get closer than this to anything or any area you need to keep effluent away from. Irrigation Scheduling: Based on the water holding capacity of the soils on this site the maximum application vlume for one irrigation event under dry conditions is .50 inches. The irrigation equipment in use applies .50 inches per cycle; therefore, the soils must be completely dry with maximum storage capacity before irrigation can occur. During the summer months Richmond Co. soils lose about .16 inch of water a day; therefore after a rainfall or an irrigation in excess of .70 inches, irrigation should not be done for at least 5 days. In the winter the soil only loses abou .06 inches per day, thus taking longer to dry out. Irrigation tri y have to wait for as long as 12 days in the winter between rain or irrigation events; therefore there will be less good pumping days in the winter. These factors must be taken into account when scheduling irrigations on this site. A suggested irrigation schedule has been provided in this plan for your use as a guide.

The plan is based on average manure generation values and average nutrient content for your type of facility. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops you will grow, their nutrient requirements, and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake. This manure nutrient utilization plan uses nitrogen as the Iimiting (priority) nutrient The plan is based .on typical manure production rates and average nutrient contents for this type of facility. Your actual production and nutrient values may Crary, by 20% or more.. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can use. Implementation of the plan based on actual analysis may require additional acres or reduction in stocking rates to ensure that nutrients are not applied in excess of agronomic rates. This plan consists of • Description of your production facility and waste handling method • Estimate of manure produced on your farm • Fields and Crops which will receive manure nutrients =:> CFS Maps by tract and field => Soils Maps =:> Perennial Streams and Buffers • Estimate of acres required to use manure nutrients at agronomic rated • irrigation Plan • Standards and specifications which must be followed The following records must be maintained for five years: • Manure nutrients (should be analyzed within 60 days of each application). • Soil test reports, sampled at least every two years • Manure application records If implemented according to these specifications, this manure nutrients management plan meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 -adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

If applying waste nutrients through an irrigation system, you must apply at a rate than will not result in runoff. For your most limiting site, this is .7511 inches per hour. (See Tables 1 for recommended rates on a field by field basis.) Furthermore, you should not apply more than • 50" in any one application event. P1 AM_ Sludge Accumulation in Anaerobic Lagoons Over a 15 year period you will generate 441,000 gal of sludge. You will need to make plans to land apply this material. The current manure nutrients utilization plan includes an estimate of land required for these applications based on the Tables in NRCS Standard 633, and the N requirement of Bermuda grown on a Ailey soil. At the three of application, you must have the sludge analyzed and make applications at agronomic rates based on the results. Since the nutrient concentrations of sludge can be much higher than those of lagoon liquids, you will either need to plan for extra land to receive these nutrients or make arrangements with a nearby landowner to apply your sludge material_ SLUDGE CALCULATIONS 4200 head of nursery swine 7 gals sludge produced per head per year 4200 x 7 = 29,400 gallons sludge produced annually 29,400 gal x 15 years = 441,000 gallons of sludge in 15 years NITROGEN CONTENT 441,000 gallons sludge produced in 15 years 22 lbs N11,000 gallons 441,000 x 22 lbs N = 646.8 lbs N 1,000 gal Mineralization (Availability) Coefficient = 0.6 646.8 lbs N x 0.6 = 388 lbs plant available Nitrogen..

It also includes a more detailed description of useable acres (based on traditional irrigation design figures) and the location of each irrigation traveler pull. See Table 1 "Field Specifications" and Table 2 "Irrigation Parameters". Field number 1, which was previously planted in summer and winter annuals, is now planted in permanent matua pasture. Matua is a cool season bromegrass. The correct Nitrogen rate is still being researched. It is beleived the rate is similar to that of hybrid bermuda. This plan has set a conservative rate of 200 lbs N/a. Fields 2-4 have also been changed to include an overseed of winter rye to provide a larger window of waste application. The plan has also been updated to include the emergency action plan, odor and insect control checklist, irrigation parameters and settings, irrigation schedule, cropping narrative, field map showing individual irrigation pulls, the producers operator certification, calibration instructions, and a copy of the latest rules and requirements. Signed, t Coffer Certified Tech Specialist NC Coop Ext. Service Richmond, Scotland, Hoke Co. J CROPPING NARRATIVE Triple A Farms has 8.4 acres of Hybrid Bermudagrass pasture land that will be overseeded in winter rye as well as 2.4 acres planted in matua (cool seson grass) available for land application of the 798,000 gallons of lagoon liquid generated on site. The forages will be harvested primarily by grazing. The bermuda will be utilized in the summer months and the matua in the fall/winter. Using 2.6 lbs N11,000 gallons of waste , which is the higher of the two most recent waste analyses (2.5, 2.6), the operation generates approx. 2075 lbs. N that needs to be utilized. Using NRCS Realistic Yield Expectations and recommended N rates (see previous page) Triple A Farms can utilize as much as 2355 lbs N with this cropping system. The difference between the amount of nitrogen needed and the amount of nitrogen generated is 280 lbs N. Applications of waste can be made to the Bermudagrass as early as 30 days prior to green up until growth and nitrogen uptake slows. For our area this will provide a window from about March 15th (or 1 week after the last 32 degree temp.) until August 15th. Annual soil tests should be made to ensure that the proper lime and K (potash) levels are maintained to achieve maximum growth and N uptake. When harvesting Bermudagrass as hay, make the first cutting when the plants are 12-15 inches tall and every 4-6 weeks afterwards. Apply N when spring growth begins and then after each cutting. When grazing Bermudagrass the best performance and utilization occurs when animals graze on plants no taller than 4-5" and no lower than 1.5-211. Split N applications into April, June, and July. See attached Bermudagrass management info Application of waste to matua grass can be made from late August until April during its peak growth period, with the best months being September and February -March. Research is still being conducted to discover what the proper N rate should be. This plan has set a max rate of 200 lbs/acre. Apply nitrogen February 1 to March 1, and in early September, using equal amounts at each date. Soil test should be taken to monitor pH, phosphorus and potassium.levels. Fields should be limed according to soil test as required by senate bill 1217. Phosphorus and potassium can be applied at the time of the first N application. Matua must also be managed carefully to maintain an active stand. Cattle should be controlled grazed to prevent them from overgrazing and damaging the stand. It should not be grazed lower than 3-4 inches. Matua must also be allowed to re -seed itself each year. According to the recently passed senate bill 1217, the maximum rate of nitrogen that can be applied to a winter annual overseeded into bermuda is 50 lbs N/acre. The best way to apply this is in split applications with half the N in the fall around September or October at planting and the other half in late February as early spring growth begins. Soil test should be taken and are now required by law, to monitor pH, phosphorus, and potassium levels to ensure good crop growth. Zn and Cu levels must also be monitored and technical assistance sought when index levels reach 700 or more. Lime, Ph, and K should be applied according to soil test reports. J t YOUR WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN IS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING: NITROGEN GENERATED 4,200 nursery pigs x 190 gal/head/year = 798,000 798,000 gallons of lagoon liquid produced annually 2.6 lbs PAN/1,000 gal liquid (see attached waste analyses) 798,000 x 2.6/ 1,000 = 2075 lbs PAN generated annually (avg.) The acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Annual acreage requirements may be more or less based on the waste analysis report for your waste management facility. Tract Field Soil Crop Yield Lbs. N Acres Lbs.

A setback of 100 feet from these wells has been considered.'when measuring the effective application area. There are two wels adjacent to field one. The Nelson 100 gun used with this irrigation system throws water 145 feet from the gun cart, therefore to maintain the 100 foot setback from the well the gun cart must always be at least at least 245 feet the above mentioned wells in its course of travel. Because wind can greatly effect spray pattern, it is recommended that waste applications not be made when wind speed exceeds 5 mph. In positioning the gun cart for making pulls, the cart should start or stop 101 feet from the edge of the area you wish to irrigate. The lane spacing for this system is 203 feet, thus the gun will effectively irrigate 101.5 feet to the sides of the cart. The gun will wet the ground 145 feet from the cart; therefore, the cart should not get closer than this to anything or any area you need to keep effluent away from. Irrigation Scheduling: Based on the water holding capacity of the soils on this site the maximum application vlume for one irrigation event under dry conditions is .50 inches. The irrigation equipment in use applies .50 inches per cycle; therefore, the soils must be completely dry with maximum storage capacity before irrigation can occur. During the summer months Richmond Co. soils lose about .16 inch of water a day; therefore after a rainfall or an irrigation. in excess of .70 inches, irrigation should not be done for at least 5 days. In the winter the soil only loses about .06 inches per day, thus taking longer to dry out. Irrigation may have to wait for as long as 12 days in the winter between rain or irrigation events; therefore there will be less good pumping days in the winter. These factors must be taken into account when scheduling irrigations on this site. A suggested irrigation schedule has been provided in this plan for your use as a guide. 46 Y' -S �. +S 1. t"c.:, �• rY •t y,C•r'� R w� r. ; ... w� �ra r.�'L: '}'� Id. �1• i �r �.: :�� s; : +, il'�....• • l � F~ry • +�.I•.nli �'' '4!. � tit114 -. ~ , �•r /yam - `•ILJOE a 'J� •.-', r .

This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management of animal waste from the Windy Ammons Farm, located in Richmond County, with an animal capacity of no greater than 4200 Wean to Feeder and the application to land as specified in the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until April 30, 2003. 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, with no discharge of wastes to surface waters. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this farm. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number of stocked animals above the number authorized by this COC will require a modification to the CAWMP and this COC and shall be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals. The facility's CAWNIP meets all requirements in place at the time of certification. However, it appears that the irrigation system on site may not adequately cover all acreage listed in the Waste Utilization Plan. The owner should begin to address this inconsistency as soon as possible. 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. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Telephone 919-733-5083 FAX 919-715-6048 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/ 10% post -consumer paper Certificate of Coverage AWS770020 Windy Ammons Farm Page 2 Upon notification by the Division of this COC's expiration, you shall apply for its renewal.

The plan is based on average manure generation values and average nutrient content for your type of facility. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops you will grow, their nutrient requirements, and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake. This manure nutrient utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting (priority) nutrient The plan is based on typical manure production rates and average nutrient contents for this type of facility. Your actual production and nutrient values may vary. by 20% or more. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can use. Implementation of the plan based on actual analysis may require additional acres or reduction in stocking rates to ensure that nutrients are not applied in excess of agronomic rates. This plan consists of • Description of your production facility and waste handling method • Estimate of manure produced on your farm • Fields and Crops which will receive manure nutrients CFS Maps by tract and field Soils Maps Perennial Streams and Buffers • Estimate of acres required to use manure nutrients at agronomic rated • Irrigation Plan • Standards and specifications which must be followed The following records must be maintained for five years: • Manure nutrients (should be analyzed within 60 days of each application). • Soil test reports, sampled at least every two years • Manure application records If implemented according to these specifications, this manure nutrients management plan meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.02 I7 -adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. Animal Production Facility and Waste Handling System Animal Production Facility: Swine Nursery _ (Units) Number of Animals (Production Units): 4,200 hd Amount of Manure per Animal (Production Unit): 190 al Total Manure Generated: 793 000 gal Waste Dandling System anaerobic lagoon Annual Sludge Accumulation: 29,400 gal Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6 MONTHS. . For anaerobic lagoon handling systems oniv: From the lowest point in your lagoon wall or dam, you must maintain the liquid level a minimum of 12 inches plus the number of inches in a 24 hour, 25 year storm rainfall. For this location this level is amount is ' 18.5 inches below the lowest point Estimated Acres The following acreage will be needed to -use your manure at agronomic rates without exceeding manure design storage capacity: (Details in Table l) Application Method Estimated Acres Broadcast -unincorporated Broadcast - incorporated Injected Irrigated, (unincorporated) 10.$, Total Acres 10—&' Maximum Rate of Application (Inchlhr of Irrigation) Infiltration rate varies with soils. if applying waste nutrients through an irrigation system, you must apply at a rate that will not result in runoff. For your most limiting site, this is _ . 75" inches per hour. (See Tables 1 for recommended rates on a field by field basis.) Furthermore, you should not apply more than • 50" in any one application event. Sludge Accumulation in Anaerobic Lagoons Over a 15 year period you will generate 441, 000 gal of sludge. You will need to stake plans to land apply this material. The current manure nutrients utilization plan includes an estimate of land required for these applications based on the Tables in NRCS Standard 633, and the N requirement of bermuda gown on a Ailey__ soil. At the time of application, you must have the sludge analyzed and make applications at agronomic rates based on the results. Since the nutrient concentrations of sludge can be much higher than those of lagoon liquids, you will either need to plan for extra land to receive these nutrients or make arrangements with a nearby landowner to apply your sludge material.

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. Proper application rate and method shall be used to ensure that these specifications are met. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day by the Division or Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues. 2. The waste utilization plan will contain documentation that the producer has adequate means for disposal of the animal waste generated on the farm. One or a combination of the following will be utilized: a) Producer owns adequate land for the use of wastes at agronomic rates. b) if the producer does not own adequate land to properly use the wastes, the technical specialist will evaluate the location of other land to determine the feasibility and practicability for land application. A notarized agreement with land owner(s) will be on file with the waste utilization plan for either: i) agreement for life of facility ii) annual or multi -year agreement These agreements shall include tract number(s) and acres where waste may be applied. c) When third party applicators are utilized to apply waste on land that the producer does not own, or has agreement to Iand apply waste, -the -producer will obtain a notarized certification from the applicator that waste will be applied at agronomic rates with adequate buffers, or the third party is using an alternative waste utilization system that has been accepted in writing by DEM. d) Producer has an alternative waste utilization system accepted in writing by DEM. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based an 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. Soil tests shall be made every two years and a waste analysis made within 60 days of waste application. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five yew 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 a grass filter strip will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" as required by the North Carolina Nondischarge Rules. (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips).] 5. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions conducive to odor or flies. 6. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 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. WAQTF: t ITrt 17eTrntu P1 AN "i 7. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. A suitable cover crop should be planted to scavenge nutrients especially in sandy, leachable soils. On soils with a high potential for leaching, multiple applications at lower rates should be used. 8. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and from any perennial stream or river other than an irrigation ditch or canal. 9.

This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. 10. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than [00 feet to wells. 11. Animal waste shall not be applied within 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 12. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right -of --ways. 13. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands by a discharge or by oversprayfng. 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_ If used in this situation, waste must be.applied at agronomic rates and in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 14. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 15. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard. Highly visible permanent markers, shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume). Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. 16. 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. IT Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., shall be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist shall be kept on site. 18. All existing operations that have a waste utilization plan and an irrigation system shall have an irrigation plan that includes the approximate maximum useable size of field, maximum application rate (in/hr) and maximum application per irrigation cycle. For new or expanding operations or systems without an approved waste utilization plan, an irrigation design and plan is required. The plan must include the type of equipment, system layout, equipment settings, operating parameters, as well as the approximate maximum useable size of field, maximum application rate (in/hr) and maximum application per irrigation cycle. 19. Records of waste application shall be maintained to establish actual application rates.

See Table 1 "Field Specifications" and Table 2 "Irrigation Parameters". Field number 1, which was previously planted in summer and winter annuals, is ,now planted in permanent matua pasture. Matua is a cool season bromegrass. The correct Nitrogen rate is still being researched. It is beleived the rate is similar to that of hybrid Bermuda. This plan has set a conservative rate of 200 lbs N/a. Fields 2-4 have also been changed to include an overseed of winter rye to provide a larger window of waste application. The plan has also been updated to include the emergency action plan, odor and insect control checklist, irrigation parameters and settings, irrigation schedule, cropping narrative, field map showing individual irrigation pulls, the producers operator certification, calibration instructions, and a copy of the latest rules and requirements. ;Signed, P/ Coffer Certified Tech Specialist NC Coop Ext. Service Richmond, Scotland, Hoke Co. CROPPING NARRATIVE Triple A Farms has 8.4 acres of Hybrid Bermudagrass pasture land that will be overseeded in winter rye as well as 2.4 acres planted in matua (cool seson grass) available for land application of the 798,000 gallons of lagoon liquid generated on site. The forages will be harvested primarily by grazing. The bermuda will be utilized in the summer months and the matua in the fall/winter. Using 2.6 lbs N/1,000 gallons of waste , which is the higher of the two most recent waste analyses (2.5, 2.6), the operation generates approx. 2075 lbs N that needs to be utilized. Using NRCS Realistic Yield Expectations and recommended N rates (see -previous page) Triple A Farms can utilize as much as 2355 lbs N with this cropping system. The difference between the amount of nitrogen needed and the amount of nitrogen generated is 280 lbs N. Applications of waste can be made to the Bermudagrass as early as 30 days prior to green up until growth and nitrogen uptake slows. For our area this will provide a window from about March 15th (or 1 week after the last 32 degree temp.) until August 15th. Annual soil tests should be made to ensure that the proper lime and K (potash) levels are maintained to achieve maximum growth and N uptake. When harvesting Bermudagrass as hay, make the first cutting when the plants are 12-15 inches tall and every 4-6 weeks afterwards. Apply N when spring growth begins and then after each cutting. When grazing Bermudagrass the best performance and utilization occurs when animals graze on plants no taller than 4-5" and no lower than 1.5-211. Split N applications into April, June, and July. See attached Bermudagrass management info Application of waste to matua grass can be made from late August until April during its peak growth period, with the best months being September and February -March. Research is still being conducted to discover what the proper N rate should be_ This plan has set a max rate of 200 lbs/acre. Apply nitrogen February 1 to March 1, and in early September, using equal amounts at each date. Soil test should be taken to monitor pH, phosphorus and potassium levels. Fields should be limed according to soil test as required by senate bill 1217. Phosphorus and potassium can be applied at the time of the first N application. Matua must also be managed carefully to maintain an active stand. Cattle should be controlled grazed to prevent them from overgrazing and damaging the stand. It should not be grazed lower than 3-4 inches_ Matua must also be allowed to re -seed itself each year. According to the recently passed senate bill 1217, the maximum rate of nitrogen that can be applied to a winter annual overseeded into bermuda is 50 lbs N/acre. The best way to apply this is in split applications with half the N in the fall around September or October at planting and the other half in late February as early spring growth begins. Soil test should be taken and are now required by law, to monitor pH, phosphorus, and potassium levels to -ensure good crop growth. Zn and Cu levels must also be monitored and technical assistance sought when index levels reach 700 or more. Lime, Ph, and K should be applied according to soil test reports. YOUR WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN IS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING: NITROGEN GENERATED 4,200 nursery pigs x 190 gal/head/year = 798,000 798,000 gallons of lagoon liquid produced annually 2.6 lbs PAN/1,000 gal liquid (see attached waste analyses) 798,000 x 2.6/ 1,000 = 2075 lbs PAN generated annually (avg.) The acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility.

Inl�)allun Pa�a�uelets OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS Setbacks: There are two wells on this site which must be considered when applying waste. A setback of 100 feet from these wells has been considered when measuring the effective application area. There are -two wells adjacent to field one. The Nelson 100 gun used with this irrigation system throws water 145 feet from the gun cart, therefore to maintain the 100 foot setback from the well the gun cart must always be at least at least 245 feet the above mentioned wells in its course of travel. Because wind can greatly effect spray pattern, it is recommended that waste applications not be made when wind speed exceeds 5 mph. In positioning the gun cart for making pulls, the cart should start or stop 101 feet from the edge of the area you wish to irrigate. The lane spacing for this system is 203 feet, thus the gun will effectively irrigate 101.5 feet to the sides of the cart. The gun will wet the ground 145 feet from the cart; therefore, the cart should not get closer than this to anything or any area you need to keep effluent away from. Irrigation Scheduling: Based on the water holding capacity of the soils on this site the maximum application vlume for one irrigation event under dry conditions is .50 inches. The irrigation equipment in use applies .50 inches per cycle; therefore, the soils must be completely dry with maximum storage capacity before irrigation can occur. During the summer months Richmond Co. soils lose about .16 inch of water a day; therefore after a rainfall or an irrigation -in excess of .70 inches, irrigation should not be done for at least 5 days. In the winter the soil only loses about .06 inches per day, thus taking longer to dry out. Irrigation may have to wait for as long as 12 days in the winter between rain or irrigation events; therefore there will be less good pumping days in the winter. These factors must be taken into account when scheduling irrigations on this site. A suggested irrigation schedule has been provided in this plan for your use as a guide. Operator.

Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris_ The topsoil from the lagoon and pad area should be stripped and stockpiled for use on the dike and pad areas. After stripping, the foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be thoroughly loosened prior to placing the first lift of fill material to get a good bond. EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT: The completed excavation and earthfill shall conform to the lines, grades, and elevations shown on the plans. Earthfill material shall be free of material such as sod, roots, frozen soil, stones over 6 inches in diameter, and other objectionable material. To the extent they are suitable, excavated materials can be used as fill. The fill shall be brought up in approximately horizontal layers not to exceed 9 inches in thickness when loose and prior to compaction. Each layer will be compacted by complete coverage with the hauling and spreading equipment or standard tamping roller or other equivalent method. Compaction will be considered adequate when fill material is observed to consolidate to the point that settlement is not readily detectible. NOTE THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PLACEMENT OF LINERS IN THE LINER SECTION OF THIS SPECIFICATION. The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed using the more impervious materials from the required excavations. Construction of fill heights shall include 5 percent for settlement. Dikes over 15 feet in height and with an impoundment capacity of 10 acre-feet or more fall under the jurisdiction of the NC Dam Safety Law. The height is defined as the difference in elevation from the constructed height to the downstream toe of the dike. Precautions shall be taken during construction to prevent excessive erosion and sedimentation. LINER: THE MINIMUM REQUIRED THICKNESS SHALL BE - 1.8 fL NOTE: LINERS (PARTIAL OR FULL) ARE REQUIRED WHEN THE ATTACHED SOILS INVESTIGATION REPORT SO INDICATES OR WHEN UNSUITABLE MATERIAL IS ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRUCTION. A TYPICAL CROSS SECTION OF THE LIN IS INCLUDED IN THE DESIGN WHEN LINERS ARE REQUIRED BY THE SOILS REPOW When areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will be over - excavated below finish grade to the specified depth as measured perpendicular to the finish grade. The foundation shall be bacldlled as specified to grade with a SCS approved material (e - CL,SC,CH). REFER TO THE SOILS INVESTIGATION INFORMATION IN THE PLANS FOR SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS. SHEET 2 OF 2 Soil liner materia, anall come from an approved borrow area. , ne minimum water content of the liner material shall be optimum moisture content which relates to that moisture content when the soil is kneaded in the hand it will form a ball which does not readily separate. Water shall be added to borrow as necessary to insure proper moisture content during placement of the liner. The moisture content of the liner material shall not be less than optimum water content during placement. The maximum water content relates to the soil material being too wet for efficient use of hauling equipment and proper compaction. Proper compaction of the liner includes placement in 9 inch lifts and compacted to at least 90 percent of the maximum ASTM D698 Dry Unit Weight of the liner material. When smooth or hard, the previous lift shall be scarified and moistened as needed before placement of the next lift. The single most important factor affecting the overall compacted perme- ability of a Gay liner, other than the type of day used for the liner, is the efficient construction processing of the compacted liner. The sequence of equipment use and the muting of equipment in an estab- lished pattern helps assure uniformity in the whole placement and compaction process. For most Gay soils, a tamping or sheepsfoot roller is the preferable type of compaction equipment. The soil liner shall be protected from the discharge of waste outlet pipes. This can be done by using some type of energy dissipator(rvdcs) or using flexible outlets on waste pipes. Alternatives to soil liners are synthetic liners and bentonite sealant. When these are specified, additional construction specifications are included with this Construction Specification. CUTOFF TRENCH: A cutoff trench shall be constructed under the embankment area when shown on a typical cross section in the plans. The final depth of the cutoff trench shall be determined by observation of the foundation materials. VEGETATION: All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construc- tion according to the seeding specifications. Topsoil should be placed on areas of the dike and pad to be seeded. Temporary seeding or mulch shall be used if the recommended permanent vegetation is out of season dates for seeding. Permanent vegetation should be established as soon as possible during the next period of approved seeding dates. REMOVAL OF EXISTING TILE DRAINS When tile drains are encountered, the file will be removed to a minimum of 10 feet beyond the outside toe of slope of the dike. The file trench shall be backfilled and compacted with good material such as SC, CL, or CA. SHEET 1 OF 2 OPE- `ON AND MAINTENANCE PLAN This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) and 180 days of temporary storage. The time required for the planned fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be reached may vary due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for: (1) waste from animals and (2) excess rainfall after evaporation. Also included is storage for the 25 year - 24 hour storm for the location. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year, but excess rainfall will vary from year to year. The 25 year rainfall will not be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage volume must always be available. A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from building(s). If the outlet pipe is not installed at the elevation to begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed at this elevation to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established to stop pumping to maintain lagoon treatment depth. Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without runoff or leaching. Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set, center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops. The following items are to be carried out: 1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre - charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during start-up. Pre -charging reduces the concentration of the initial waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be covered with effluent at all times. When precharging is complete, flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not be used for flushing after initial filling. 2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment) beforeland application. 3. Begin temporary storage pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches the elevation 32.7 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump - out when the fluid level reaches elevation 30.7 . This temporary storage, less 25 yr- 24 hr storm, contains 46478 cubic feet or 347858 gallons. SHEET 2 OF 2 4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.3 inch per hour. Refer to the waste utilization plan for further details. 5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain a vigorous stand. 6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and establish in vegetation. 7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable outlets. a. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around waste utilization fields adjaceiii to perennial streams. Waste will not be applied in open ditches. Do not pump within 200 feet of a residence or within 100 feet of a well. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States. The Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ- mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law.
