Facility Status: New Expanding X Existing, New Waste Utilization Plan
The purpose of a manure nutrient utilization plan is to estimate the acres of cropland needed to use the
manure nutrients you produce without exceeding your design storage capacity. 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.

Maximum Rate of Application (lnchlhr 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 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.

The attached waste management plan has been amended to reflect a
change in cropping system on part of the farms acreage. 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.

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.

The waste from your anal facility must be land applied at a speci ied rate to prevent
pollution of snzface and/or groundwater. 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.
This waste utilbztion plan, if carried out, mwts the phremmis for compliance with 15A
NCAC 21Lo217 adopted by the EnvironmentalManagem,eat Commission.

Dear Windy Ammons:
On June-11, 2004, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) issued a revised State General
Permit for swine facilities. The General Permit was issued in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill
733 (Session Law 2003-28).
In accordance with your application received on February 11, 2003 and in accordance with the directive
of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Windy
Ammons, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land
application system in accordance with General Permit AWG 100000. The issuance of this COC
supersedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS770020 which expires October 1, 2004.
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 an annual average of 4200 Wean to Feeder swine and the application to land as specified
in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or
Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary,
they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a
rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2009. 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. Since this is a revised State
General Permit, it contains new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained in the
previous 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 kee in
and monitoring conditions in this permit.

Dear Windy Ammons:
On April 28, 2003, the North Carolina General Assembly ratified Senate Bill 733 which directs the
Division of Water Quality (Division) to extend the expiration date of the.Swine_Waste Operation General
Permit AWGI00000. Therefore, the General Permit has been re -issued by the Division to extend the
expiration date to October 1, 2004. During the period of this extension the Division will be working with
all interested parties on the development of a new version of the Non -Discharge General Permit.
In accordance with your application received on February 11, 2003 and in accordance with the directive
of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Windy
Ammons, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and Iand
application system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000. The issuance of this COC
supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS770020 which expired on April 30, 2003.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Windy Ammons Farm, located in Richmond County, with an animal capacity of
no greater than an annual average of 4200 Wean to Feeder swine and the application to land as specified
in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or
Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary,
they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a
rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until October 1, 2004. Pursuant to this COC, you
are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as
specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting
and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this
facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number
of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and
this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, careful evaluation
of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is
inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed.
The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property. ��

The attached waste management plan has been amended to reflect a
change in cropping system on part of the farms acreage. it also
includes a more detailed description of useable acres and the
location of each irrigation traveler pull.
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.

X Existing, New Waste Utilization Plan
The purpose of a manure nutrient utilization plan is to estimate the acres of cropland needed to use the
manure nutrients you produce without exceeding your design storage capacity. 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 -

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.

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,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.

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.

This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking,
overflowing, or running off site. You should not wait until wastes reach surface waters or
leave your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to
ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be posted in an accessible location for
all employees at the facility_ The following are some action items you should take.
1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be
possible. Suggested responses to some possible problems are listed below.
A. Lagoon overflow -possible solutions are:
't
RLCEV � ,�„D
a Add soil to berm to increase elevation of darn.
b. Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate.
c. Stop all flows to the lagoon immediately. �JUL 3 12000
d. Call a pumping contractor.
e_ Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon.
iAYi=EILR
REG. OFFICE
B: Runoff from waste application field -actions include:
a. Immediately stop waste application.
b. Create a temporary diversion to contain waste.
c. Incorporate waste to reduce runoff.
d. EvaIuate and eliminate the reason(s) that caused the runoff.
c. Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred.
C: Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinklers -action include:
a. Stop recycle pump.
b. 'Stop irrigation pump_
c_ Close valves to eliminate further discharge_
d_ Repair all Ieaks prior to restarting pumps.
D: Leakage from flush systems, houses, solid separators -action include:
a. Stop recycle pump.
b. Stop irrigation pump.
c. Mahe sure no siphon occurs.
d. Stop all flows in the house, flush systems, or solid separators.
December 18, 1996
e. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
E: Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed to
flowing leaks- possible action:
a. Dig a small sump or ditch away from the embaalonent to catch all seepage,
put in a submersible pump, and pump back to lagoon.
b. If holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill
holes and compact with a clay type soil.
c. Have a professional evaluate the condition of the side walls and lagoon
bottom as soon as possible.
2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages.
a. Did the waste reach any surface waters?
b. Approximately how much was released and for what duration?
c. Any damage noted, such as employee injury, fish kills, or property damage?
d. Did the spill leave the property?
e. Does the spill have the potential to reach surface waters?
f. Could a future rain event cause the spill to reach surface waters?
g- Are potable water wells in danger (either on or off of the property)?
h. How much reached surface waters?
3: Contact appropriate agencies.
a. During normal business hours, call your DWQ (Division of Water Quality)
regional office; Phone - - After hours, emergency number. 919-733-3942.
Your phone call should include: your name, facility, telephone number, the details
of the incident from item 2 above, the exact location of the facility, the location or
direction of movement of the spill, weather and wind conditions. The corrective

Expanding X Existing, New Waste Utilization Plan
The purpose of a manure nutrient utilization plan is to estimate the acres of cropland needed to use the
manure nutrients you produce without exceeding your design storage capacity. 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

Infiltration rate varies with soils. 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.

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_

The attached waste management plan has been amended to reflect a
change in cropping system on part of the farm's acreage. 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Windy Ammons Farm
Swine Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Richmond County
In accordance with your application received on October 26, 2000, we are forwarding this Certificate of
Coverage (COC) issued to Windy Ammons, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste
collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with General Permit
AWG100000. 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.

shall be made within 30 days of notification by the Division.
This COC is not automatically transferable. A name/ownership change application must be submitted to
the DWQ 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 non -discharge -permit by contacting the engineer listed below for information on
this process. Unless such a request is made within 30 days, this COC shall be final and binding.

I (we) verify that all the above information is correct and will Lx- updated upon changing. I (we) understand the operation and
maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste management plan for the farm named above and will
implement these procedures. I (we) know that any expansion to the existingdesign capacity of the waste treatment and
storage system or construction of new facilities will require a new certification to be submitted to the Division of
Environmental Management before the new animals are stocked. I (we) understand that there must be no discharge of animal
waste from the storage or application system to surface waters of the state either directly through a man-made conveyance or
from a storm event less severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm and there must not be run-off from the application of animal
waste. I (we) understand that run-off of pollutants from lounging and heavy use areas must be minimized using technical
standards developed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service. The approved plan will be filed at the farm and at the
office of the local Soil and Water Conservation District. I (we) know that any modification must be approved by a technical
specialist and submitted to the Soil and Water Conservation District prior to implementation. A change in land ownership
requires written notification to DEM or a new certification (if the approved plan is changed) within 60 days of a title transfer.

flowing leaks- possible action:
a_ Dig a small sump or ditch away from the embankment to catch all seepage,
put in a submersible pump, and pump back to lagoon.
b. If holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill
holes and compact with a clay type soil_
c_ Have a professional evaluate the condition of the side walls and lagoon
bottom as soon as possible.
2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages.

Facility Status: New Expanding X Existing, New Waste Utilization Plan
The purpose of a manure nutrient utilization plan is to estimate the acres of cropland needed to use the
manure nutrients you produce without exceeding your design storage capacity. 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.

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.

The attached waste management plan has been amended to reflect a
change in cropping system on part of the farm's acreage. 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

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. Annual acreage
requirements may be more or less based on the waste analysis
report for your waste management facility.

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.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS
FOUNDATION PREPARATION:
The foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be
cleared of trees, logs, stumps, roots, brush, bouiders,sod and rubbish.
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.

Dear Windy Ammons:
The Non -Discharge Permitting Unit has completed a preliminary engineering review of the subject application. Additional
information is required before we can continue our review. Please address the following by December 7, 2000:
Please provide a clearer map that identifies (outlines or highlights) and shows the acreage for each field to
be used for waste application. More specifically the acreage for Tract No_ 1877-fields 3a, 3b could not be
identified.
2_ The crop coded as L could not be identified from the list of corresponding crop codes given in the Waste
Utilization Plan_
Please note that all VVUP revisions must be signed and dated by both the owner and the technical specialist- Please
reference the subject permit application number when providing the requested information. All information should be signed,
sealed, and submitted in duplicate to my attention at the address below. The information requested by this letter must be
submitted on or before December 7, 2000 or the Division will return your application as incomplete in accordance with 15A
N.C.A.C. 2H _0200 and your facility will be considered to be operating without a permit.
Please be advised that operation of the subject animal waste management system without a valid permit is a violation of North
Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and will subject you to the enforcement authority of the Environmental Management
Commission.
If you have any questions regarding this request, please call me at (919) 733-5083, extension 544.

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.
