OFFICE Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping Animal Waste Management System Facility Number 78-33 Robeson County This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan. In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers. Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRR1, IRR2, DRYI, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR], SLUR2, SLD 1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an appropriate enforcement action. Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting requirement.

Fairmont NC 28340 Phone: 910-628-6498 Type of Operation: Feed -Finish Number of Animal: 5880 Storage Structure: Anaerobic Lagoon Method of Application: Irrigation Amount of waste produced per year: 11172 ton/year Amount of plant available N (PAN) produced/year: 13524 lbs./year The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. - This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in the implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils , when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may in runoff to the surface waters which is not allowed under DWO regulations. 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6- To maximize the value of the nutrients for crops production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different applications methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which Sandy Evans 11-18 Page 2 could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and the crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H A217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Sandy Evans 11-18 Page 3 The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements. In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen. In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc. interseeded in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing, hay and /or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain etc. is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small grain to reach materity, especially late in the season ( i.e. April or May) Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definitely interfere with the stand of bermudagrass_ This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the time small grain is planted in the fall. The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc. is late September or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results. Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying summer annuals under stressed conditions. Nitrate poisoning may occur in livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is recommended. Acres shown in the tables are considered to be the usable acres excluding required buffers, filters strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the field listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. SLUDGE APPLICATION: The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 2117 lbs. of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove sludge every 5 years you will have approximately 10584 lbs. of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 lbs/acre you will need 35 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 lbs. of nitrogen per acre you will need 85 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estmates of the PAN and the land needed_ Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on the sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application methods. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity Sandy Evans 11-18 Page 4 of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrrigate the acres shown in tables. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

In many situations the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitations_ The maximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions. 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. In no instances should the volume of the waste be stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm. It is the responsibility of the producer and the waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates shown in the tables. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Cali your technical specialist after you have receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to appling the waste.

Either of these conditions may in runoff to the surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crops production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different applications methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which VJ f�1 t A ; ! t Sandy Evans 1-10 Page 2 could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and the crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner. Sandy Evans 1-10 Pace 3 The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements. In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen_ In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc. interseeded in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing, hay and for silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain etc. is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small grain to reach materity, especially late in the season ( i.e. April or May) Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definitely interfere with the stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the time small grain is planted in the fall. The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc. is late September or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results. Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying summer annuals under stressed conditions. Nitrate poisoning may occur in livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is recommended. Acres shown in the tables are considered to be the usable acres excluding required buffers, filters strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the field listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. SLUDGE APPLICATION: The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 2646 lbs. of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove sludge every 5 years you will have approximately 13230 lbs. of PAN to utilize_ Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 lbs/acre you will need 44 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 Ibs. of nitrogen per acre you will need 106 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estmates of the PAN and the land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on the sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application methods. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity Sandy Evans 1-10 Page 5 This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitations. The maximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions. 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. In no instances should the volume of the waste be stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm. It is the responsibility of the producer and the waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates shown in the tables. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Call your technical specialist after you have receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to appling the waste. NARRATIVE OF OPERATION Sandy Evans 1-10 Page 4 of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrrigate the acres shown in tables. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

Sheet6 Narrative of Irrigation System Operation This wetted acreage determination is for an existing spray field for this farm. Risers 4 and 5 were added to this farms wetted acreage in 2004. Producer owns two travellers, a 2625 Cadman, and a 3250 Cadman. Each of these reels have Nelson 150 guns. Producer should use a 1.08" Ring nozzle, operated at 60psi gun pressure for all pulls. The 2625 traveller will lose 5 psi additional pressure due to the smaller I.D. of the supply hose, Each year, the system should be calibrated to insure that +-15% of the 290' specified diameter is being achieved. The 3250 traveller should be used for pulls 2 and 3. Producer is familiar with the operation of the equipment specified. Any additional information needed with regards to calibration, winterization, or other operational features should be requested from either the irrigation dealer or the system designer. Sheet?

The upper frame is constructed of mainly 3 x 5 inch tubing. The use of steel tubing gives all Cadman Travellers higher torsion strength than typical I-beam constructions. TURNTABLE All Cadman Travellers are equipped with ball -bearing turntables. With multiple locking positions and a centrally located lack pin, positioning of the Traveller is made simple and easy. HEAVY-DUTY DRUM The one-piece drum core is made from 3116' steel plate for continuous support. Cadman oversizes its core diameter to prevent stress on the hose, promoting longer life and easier wrapping of the hose. With reinforcing ribs and welded construction, the Cadman drum is, by far, the strongest in the industry. LONG-LASTING DRUM BEARINGS The drum bearings are constructed of high strength lubricated nylon. Virtually maintenance - free, these bearings will provide years of trouble -tree service. The real advantage, however, is the ability to maintain oversized plumbing on the inlet side of the drum, giving you maximum elficiency. Competitors usually bottleneck the inlet so they can keep the cost of the ball bearing they use down. HIGH QUALITY HOSE Cadman Travellers use only the best quality hose available. Our polyethylene hose is manufactured to ASTNI and CSA standards for rough field use and long life. LARGE PLUMBING Large 4' diameter plumbing is used on the reel to reduce pressure loss. Each elbow uses 2 pounds per square inch. The Cadman Traveller has far fewer elbows than used by others. We have no bottlenecks of smaller pipes and hoses. Our Traveller is not a pipefitter's nightmare! It is designed to utilize pressure to its fullest advantage in order to operate the reel easily and maintain an energy- elticient irrigation system. POSITIVE TRACTION CHAIN DRIVE All Cadman Travellers are driven by a single No. 80 chain, running over the large diameter of the drum on traction pins. This gives Cadman the advantage of maximum torque amplification vs. smaller laser -cut sprockets used by others. By putting less strain on the drive system, less power is needed to rotate the drum, therefore giving you maximum efficiency. HEAVY-DUTY CRANK DOWN STABILIZERS As standard equipment, the Cadman 3000, 3250 and 3500 come with crank down stabilizer legs. The easy -to -use telescopic jacks are built to Cadman's specifications for rigid, trouble -free operation. As an option, hydraulic stabilizers can be installed. ENGINE DRIVE The Cadman engine drive system loses "0" P.S.I. because it is self-contained and separate from the fluid irrigated, whereas pistons, bellows or turbines lose 5 to 20 PSI. This loss has to be overcome by a pump running harder. These other systems usually result in using less mainline or a smaller gun nozzle in order to keep the pump pressure within operating maximums. TRANSMISSION A wide speed range is achieved in Cadman's engine drive system by using a combination of drive and driven variable speed pulleys and a clutch reduction transmission. Simply turn the knob to adjust the drive pulley to the desired speed and engage the transmission lever. There is no need to change gears to achieve a specific speed. As well, an alternate PTO wind - in is incorporated into the transmission. Very clean and easy to operate! AUTO STOP When the gun cart reaches the reel, a simple device activates two safety switches. If one switch fails, the second takes over, ensuring maximum safety for you and the machine. HOSE BUILD-UP SAFETY It the hose guide malfunctions 10i any reason, a safety switch is activated by the speed compensator to shut off the engine. This prevents the hose tram miswrapping and crushing itself. BRAKE A disc brake ensures that proper tension is applied to the drum when unwinding the hose. This prevents recoil when the tractor comes to a stop at the end of the pull. When fully applied, the Traveller can then be moved safely from field to field without concern of recoil. EASY -TO -READ SPEEDOMETER All Cadman Travellers are equipped with an easy -to -read speedometer, displaying the hose retrieval rate. ACCURATE HOSE INDEXING Cadman's hose guide system keeps the polyethylene hose in its place accurately and efficiently. With its rugged design, maintenance is kept to a minimum. FEEDER HOSE A standard 4' x 25' hose is supplied to connect the Traveller to your mainline. As with everything else, Cadman uses the best quality high pressure hose and clamps. GUN AND CART An appropriate sized quality gun is standard. Cadman offers a choice of three different carts for the 3000, 3250 and 3500. For low crops or manure application, a 28' clearance cart is available. For medium height crops we have a 46" clearance cart and for high craps a 52' clearance cart is available. These rugged carts are made of steel tube construction. Based on three wheels (no skids), the carts have variable width adjustment to tit the plant rows. Riser extensions are also available as an option for orchard applications. OPTIONAL FAST HITCH TOOL BAR As an option, any single axle Cadman Traveller can be fitted with a pintle hitch and supplied with a fast hitch tool bar for your tractor, Making your work easier, a pin on the toolbar fits through the pintle hitch and lilts the tongue of the Traveller. By simply operating the tractor's 3-paint hitch control, the Traveller can be moved tram field to field without ever getting aft the tractor. TOP VIEW OF CADMAN MECHANICAL CAM DRIVESPEED COMPENSATION HOSE SPEED COMPENSATION The Cadman MECHANICAL CAM DRIVE HOSE SPEED COMPENSATION SYSTEM has simplified the task of very accurately compensating the hose retrieve speed for the increase in drum diameter as hose is rewound onto the drum. Here's how it works. A sensor bar, riding against the hose as it winds onto the drum, operates a cam on the variable speed drive pulley by way of a cable. As the cam rotates, the pulley pitch is adjusted just enough to accurately compensate for changes in hose speed over the entire retrieve cycle. The result is an even application from beginning to end! Model Hose Hose "Input.I. =atTrav�eSller, _ Gun Flow Rate,- : Lane - -: Acres Time.tb. Apply.. Time- '- I.D. Length .

Reference may also be made to Ameri- can Society for Testing and Materials Standard, ASTM D-2774 "Recommended Practice for Underground Installation of Thermoplastic Pressure Piping." Excavation 1. The trench bottom shall be stable, continuous, relatively smooth, and free of rocks or other objects detrimental to the pipe. It shall provide continuous support for the pipe, and bell holes shall be provided for the bell and spigot joints, valves, and other system components that might act as a fulcrum. When made through a rock cut, at least 4" of com- pacted satisfactory bedding material shall be provided. 2. The trench depth shall place the pipe- line at least 6" below the lowest recorded frost depth, and shall place the pipeline depth at feast d j" below grade. 3. The trench width at the top of the pipe shall be as narrow as practical to allow adequate room for joining the pipe and to allow proper compaction of the sidefill. sfde . 4. Pipefines shall be cased, bridged, or otherwise protected at locations where they will be subject to heavy surface loads due to shallow burial. Casing shall also be used in spanning creeks and gullies, extending 8 it on either side of the creek or gully. Jointing 1. The pipe shall be jointed in the trench, or above ground, in accordance with the Jointing Instructions. 2. It is Important that the gasket be clean and properly seated, the spigot end well lubricated, and the bell and spigot ends aligned correctly in both planes. 3. If jointing is done above ground, care should be taken when lowering pipe into the t rench that the depth of the joint entry remains correct. Check that the depth of entry mark on the spigot ends is flush with the face of the belt. Jointing of 6" and large pipe is usually done in tfie trench. 4. AT NO TIME should a back -hoe or similar device be used to assemble pipe. Thrust Blocking As with other push -fit rubber gasketed joints, the pipe will not take end thrust without restraints. Thrust blocks are usually required at dead ends and wherever the fine changes direction of 30 degrees or more. 1. Thrust blocks shall be placed so that the bearing surface is in direct line with the major force created by the pipe or fitting. Concrete having a compressive strength of 2000 psi is the recommended blocking material, and may be poured between the simplest of forms and the undisturbed earth bearing surfaces. 2. Thrust blocking size may be calculated as follows: a) Multiply the pressure level desired for testing by the value shown in the table for thrust on fillings: Thrust in Pounds Pipe Size 90 Elbow 45 Elbow 22% Bend Dead End or Tee 6" 48.74 26.38 13.45 36.10 a" 62.61 44.72 22.60 61.18 10" 128.54 1 59.47 36A2 95.05 12" 180.54 1 77.23 49.82 133.70 b) Determine the bearing strength of the soil from the following table: BEARING STRENGTH OF SOILS SOIL lb. per Sq. Ft. Muck peal, etc. 0 Soft day 1,000 Send 2,000 Send and gravel 3.000 Sand and gravel cemented with clay 4.000 Hard shale 10,000 c) Divide the total thrust on the fitting (step a) by the bearing strength of the soil (step b). The result is the square feet of area needed on the face of the thrust block d) Thrust blocks should haunch the pipe or fitting, not encase It. Backfi lling 1. Place select backfill and compact under the haunch, along the sides of, and over the top of the pipe to a com- pacted depth of at least 6". This backfill shall be soils that allow good compaction and placed in 6" layers, well compacted. It shall be free of rocks, frozen clods, or other hard objects. 2. The final backfill may then be made in the usual manner, but care should be taken not to dump large rocks or heavy objects on the initial backfill and pipeline. 3. If the joints and fittings must be left exposed while under test, backfill to within one foot of each side of the joint or fitting to prevent deflection of the pipe while under test pressures. Testing 1. ALL AIR INTHE PIPELINESHALL BE BLED OFF CAREFULLY WHILE FILLING THE LINE WITH WATER FOR TESTING_ Entrapped air in the line can cause ex- cessive test pressures, and create un- necessary problems. Air shall be bled off at the high spots in the line. Air removal may also be accomplished by pushing a foam plug through the line by incoming water pressure. 2. Test pressures may be I V, times the designed operating pressure of the pipeline, but shall not exceed the maxi- mum pressure rating of the pipe. 3. After pressure test and acceptance of testing, the uncovered joints and fit- tings shall be initially backfilled with well compacted soil, and then covered with final backfill. 4. Hydraulic pressure testing of the pipeline shall be carried out initially at Intervals not exceeding 500 yards and thereafter at intervals not exceeding 1,000 yards. Radius Bends Gradual change of direction may be achieved by deflecting or oocking RIEBER Joints a maximum of 3 degrees without affecting the hydraulic seal' of the joint. Offsets are made only after the straight in -fine assembly Is made. Deflections at the joint and minimum curve radii (ft.) obtainable are listed below: Degree of Deflection at the Joint Offset, inches Radius, feel 1 4.2" 1,150, 2 8.3" 572' 3 12.3" 381' -4- on each side of the pipe to provide support free from voids. Care should be taken to avoid deforming, displacing, or damaging the pipe during this phase of the operation. .4 Final backfill 6.4.1 General. After pipeline testing, final backfill shall be placed and spread in approximately uniform layers in such 4 manner as to fill the trench completely so that there will be no unfilled spaces under or about rocks ar lump! of earth in the backfill. Final backfill shall be frCe of large rocks, frozen clods and other debris greater than 76 mm (3 in.) in diameter. Rolling equipment or heavy tampers should be used to consolidate the final backflB only after the minimum depth of cover has been placed and only With pipe having wall thi4nesses greater than that of $DR-41.

There are a number of machines that can be used to prepare the trench for PVC plastic pipe. Soil types, moisture content, depth of trench required and type and diameter of pipe must be considered. Generally chain trenches, wheel trenches,-backhoes, or vibrating plows will be used for trench preparation. The vibrating plow can only be used for solvent weld PVC pipe and generally is limited to the smaller diameter of pipe. Under most conditions the chain trencher or wheel trencher will be faster than the backhoe. Where wide trenches for large Pipe are required, the backhoe will be most satisfactory. If soil conditions permit, long stretches of open trench will expedite pipe installation. However, if rain is forecast the pipe should be installed and the trench backfilled. To avoid sharp turns in the line at obstructions, trenches should be curved within limits of curvature of the pipe. -7- INSTALLATION 9 Jiamond Agricultural PVC Pipe should be assembled and installed with uniform and continuous support from a firm base in accordance with the installation procedures provided in ASTM D2321, and the Installation Guide for PVC Water Pipe (a "pocket -sized" edition is available from your representative or from Diamond Plastics Corporation.) Embedment materials are to be in accordance with soil classifications listed under Unified Soil Classification System, ASTM D2487.and ASTM D2488. Te assemble, clean mating surfaces of the bell, spigot, and gasket- Apply gasket lubricant (furnished by Diamond Plastics Corporation) to the entire Spigot end up to the reference shark- Also, apply lubricant to the contact surface of the gasket. With the pipe in straight alignment, push the spigot into the bell up to the insertion line. if a pry bar is used to apply force, the pipe should be protected by placing a board between the bar and the pipe. If normal force does not complete the joint, disassemble the joint and examine the parts to make ce:;ian they are free of obstructions. Visually inspect the completed joint to insure the gasket has not been dislodged. Table 5.

The minimum carer for polyethylene pipe is 6 in but may be reduced to 2 in where conditions warrant. The minimum carer for PVC pipe in cranberry bogs, where the pipe is to be protected from freezing after winter flooding, shall be 12 in. if the winter flood equals or exceeds 12 in. Where the winter flood is leas than 12 in, the top of the pipe shall be at least 24 in below the water surface. Solvent-weided joints shall be used at all connections; of PVC pipe where peat and muck exit m their normal layered pattern- Rubber gasket joints may be used following normal bedding proce- dures where coarse sand or cernermt layers exist. At low places on the ground surface, extra fill may be pieced over the pipeline to provide the minimum depth of corer. The top width of the fill shalt then be no less than 10 ft and the side slopes no steeper than 6:1. If extra protec- tion is needed ai vehicle crossings, encasement pipe or other approved methods may be used. Trench construction. The trench at any point below the top of the pipe shall be only wide enough to permit the pipe to be easily placed and joined and to allow the initial bacfdill material to be uniformly placed under the haunches and along the side of the pipe. The maximum trench width shall be 36 in greater than the diameter of the pipe. It the trench is precision excavated and has a Semicircular bottom that closely fits the pipe, the wiu-ih shall not exceed the outside diameter of the pipe by more that 10 percent. The trench bortom shall be uniform so that the pine lies on the bottom without bridging. Clods. rocks, and uneven spots that can damage the pipe or cause nonuniform sup- port shall be removed. If rocks, boulders, or any other material that can damage the pipe are encountered. the trench bottom shall be under- cut a minimum of 4 in below final grade and filled with bed- ding material consisting of sand or compaLted fine-grained soils. Pipelines having a diameter of 1,4 through 21h in that are to be placed in areas not subject to vehicular loads and in soils that do not crack appreciably when dry may be placed by cuing "piow-in" equipment instead of conventional trenching. Provisions shall be made to insure sale working condi- tions where unstable soil, trench depth, or other conditions can be hazardous to personnel working in the trench. Placement. Care shall be taken to prevent permanent dis- tortion and damage when handling the pipe during unusu- ally warm or cold weather. The pipe shall be allowed to come within a few degrees of the temperature it will have after it is completely covered before placing the backfill, other than that needed for shading, or before connecting the pipe to other facilities. The pipe shall be uniformly and continuously supported over its entire length on firm stable material. Blocking or mounding shall not be used to bring the pipe to final grade. For pipe with bell joints, bell holes shall be excavated in the bedding material, as needed, to allow for unobstructed assembly of the joint and to permit the body of the pipe to be in contact with the bedding material throughout its length. Joints and connections. All joints and connections shall be designed and constructed to withstand the design maxi- mum working pressure for the pipeline without leakage and to leave the inside of the line free of any obstruction that may tend to reduce its capacity below design requirements. All fittings, such as couplings, reducers, bends, tees, and crosses, shall be installed according to the recorramenda- tiona of the pipe manufacturer. Frttings made of steel or other metals susceptible to cor- rosion shall be adequately protected by being wrapped with plastic tape or by being gated with a substance that has high corrosion -preventative qualities. If plastic tape is used, all surfaces shall be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a primer compatible with the tape before wrapping. Thrust blocks. Thrust blocks must be formed against a solid hand -excavated trench wall undamaged by mechani- cal equipment. They shall be constructed of concrete, and the space between the pipe and trench wall shall be filled to the height oR the outside diameter of the pipe or as spec- ified by the manufacturer. Testing. The pipeline shall be tested for pressure strength, leakage, and proper functioning. The tests may be per- formed before backfilling or anytime after the pipeline is ready for service. SCS, January 1989 lrrigation [dater Conveyance 430-DD-3 Tests for pressure strength and leaks shall be accom- plisned by inspecting the pipefine and appurtenances while the maximum working pressure is maintained and all joints and connections are uncovered, or by observing normal operation of the pipeline after it is put into service. Partial backfills needed to hold the pipe in place during testing shall be placed as specified in "Initial Jackfitl." Any leaks shall be repaired and the system retested. The pipeline shall be tested to insure that it functions properly at design capacity. At at below design capacity there shall be no objectionable flow conditions. Objeciiona. ble flow conditions shall include water hammer, continuing unsteady delivery of water, damage to the pipeline, or detri- mental discharge from control valves. Initial beckflll. Hand, mechanical. or water packing meth- ods may be used. The initial backfill material shall be soil or sand that is free from rocks or stones larger than i in. in diameter. At the time of placement, the moisture content of the material shall be such that the required degree of Compaction can be obtained with the backfill method to be used. The initial backfill material shall be placed so that the pipe will not be displaced, excessively deformed, or damaged. It backfilling is done by hand or mechanical means, the initial fill shall be compacted firmly around and above the pipe as required to provide adequate lateral support to the pipe. If the water packing method is used, the pipeline first shall be filled with water. The initial backfill before werting shall be of sufficient depth to insure complete coverage of the pipe after consolidation. Water packing is accomplished by adding enough water to diked reaches of the trench to thoroughly saturate the initial backfill without excessive pooling. Atter the backfill is saturated. the pipeline snail remain full until after the final backfill is made. The wetted fill shall be allowed to dry until firm before beginning the final backfill. Final backfill. The final backfill material shall be free of large rocks, frozen clods, and other debris greater than 3 in. in diameter. The material shall be placed and spread in approximately uniform layers so that there will be no unfitted spaces in the backfill and the backfill will be level with the natural ground or at the design grade required to provide the minimum depth of cover after settlement. Poll- ing equipment shall not be used to consolidate the final backfill until the specified minimum depth of cover has been placed. All special backfilling requirements of the pipe manufac- turer shall be met. 9asls of acceptance. The acceptability of the pipeline shalt be determined by inspections to check compliance with all the provisions of this standard with respect to the design of the line, the pipe and pipe marking, the appurte- nances, and the minimum installation requirements. Certifications and guarantee. if requested by the state conservation engineer, a qualified testing laboratory must Certify with Supporting test results that the pipe meets the requirements specified in this standard. The seal of approval of a recognized laboratory on pipe bearing one of the ASTM designations listed in this standard may be accepted for this certification. The installing contractor shall certify that his or her instal- tation complies with the requirements of this standard. He or she shall furnish a written guarantee that protect the owner against detective workmanship and materials for not less than 1 year.

Technical Specialist certifying waste management plans after September 1, 1996, must also certify that operators have been provided calibration and adjustment guidance for all land application equipment. The rules apply to irrigation sys- tems as well as all other types of liquid, slurry, or solid application equipment. Information presented in manufacturers' charts are based on average op- erating conditions for relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and applica- tion rates change over time as equipment ages and components wear. As a result, equipment should be field calibrated regularly to ensure that applica- tion rates and uniformity are consistent with values used during the system design and given in manufacturers' specifications. Field calibration involves collection and measurement of the material being applied at several locations in the application area- This publication contains step-by-step guidelines for field calibration of hard hose and cable tow traveler irrigation systems. Operating an irrigation system differently than assumed in the design will alter the application rate, uniformity of coverage, and subsequently the applica- tion uniformity. Operating with excessive pressure results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the sprinkler nozzle. Pump wear tends to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use, nozzle wear results in an increase in the nozzle opening, which will increase the discharge rate while decreasing the wetted diameter. Clogging of nozzles or crystallization of main lines can result in increased pump pressure but reduced flow at the gun. Plugged intakes will reduce operating pressure. An operating pressure below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application uniformity. Field calibration helps ensure that nutri- ents from animal waste are applied uniformly and at proper rates. The calibration of a hard hose or cable tow system involves setting out collection containers, operating the system, measuring the amount of wastewater collected in each container, and then computing the average application volume and application unifor- mity. An in -line flow meter installed in the main irrigation line provides a good estimate of the total volume pumped from the lagoon during each irriga- tion cycle. The average application depth can be determined by dividing the pumped volume by the application area. The average application depth is computed from the formula: Average application depth (inches) = Volume pumped (gallons) 27,134 (gal/ac-in) X Application area (acres) The average application depth is the average amount applied throughout the field. Unfortunately, sprinklers do not apply the same depth of water throughout their wetted diameter. Under normal operating conditions, application depth decreases towards the outer perimeter of the wetted diameter. Sig gun sprinkler systems typically have overlap based on a design sprinkler spacing of 70 to 80 percent of the wetted sprinkler diameter to compen- n Field Calibration Procedures for Anima[ Wastewater Application Equipment sate for the declining application along the outer perimeter. When operated at the design pressure, this overlap results in acceptable application uniformity. When operated improperly, well -designed systems will not provide acceptable application uniformity. For example, if the pressure is too low, the applica- tion depth will be several times higher near the center of sprinkler and water will not be thrown as far from the sprinkler as indicated in manufacturers' charts. liven through the average application depth may be acceptable, some areas receive excessively high application while others receive no application at all. When applying wastewater high in nutrients, it is important to determine the application uniformity. Collectioii containers distributed throughout the application area must be used to evaluate application uniformity. Many types of containers can be used to collect flow and determine the application uniformity. Standard rain gauges work best and are recom- mended because they already have a graduated scale from which to read the application depth. Pans, plastic buckets, jars, or anything with a uniform opening and cross section can be used provided the container is deep enough (at least 4 inches deep) to prevent splash and excessive evapora- tion, and the liquid collected can be easily trans- ferred to a scaled container for measuring. All con- tainers should be the same size and shape to simplify application depth computations. All collection containers should be set up at the same height relative to the height of the sprinkler nozzle (discharge elevation). Normally, the top of each container should be no more than 36 inches above the ground. Collectors should be located so that there is no interference from the crop. The crop canopy should be trimmed to preclude interference or splash into the collection container_ Calibration should be performed during periods of low evaporation. Best times are before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m. on days with light wind (less than 5 miles per hour). On cool, cloudy days the calibration can be performed anytime when wind velocity is less than 5 mph. The volume (depth) collected during calibration should be read soon after the sprinkler gun cart has moved one wetted radius past the collection gauges to minimize evaporation from the rain gauge. Where a procedure must be performed more than once, containers should be read and values recorded c immediately after each setup. Calibration Setup for Hard Hose and Cable Tow Traveling Guns Hard hose and cable tow traveling guns are calibrated by placing a row (transect) of collection containers or gauges perpendicular to the direction of travel, Figure 1. The outer gauge on each end of the row should extend past the furthest distance the gun will throw wastewater to ensure that the calibration is performed on the "full" wetted diameter of the gun sprinkler_ Multiple rows increase the accuracy of the calibration. Containers should be spaced no further apart than 1/16 of the wetted diameter of the gun sprinkler not to exceed 25 feet. At least 16 gauges should be used in the calibration. Sixteen gauges will be adequate except for large guns where the wetted diameter exceeds 400 feet. (Maximum recommended spacing between gauges, 25 feet X 16 = 400 feet.) Gauges should be set at least one full wetted diameter of throw from either end of the travel lane, as shown in Figure 1. The system should be operated such that the minimum travel distance of the gun cart exceeds the wetted diameter of throw. Application volumes should be read as soon as the last gauges stop being wetted.

The application uniformity is often computed using the mathematical formula referred to as the Christiansen uniformity Coefficient. It is computed as follows: Average depth (#9) - Average deviation (#1 1) U X 100 ` Average depth (##9) 15.Interpret the calibration results. The higher the index value, the more uniform the application. An index of 106 would mean that the uniformity is perfect — the exact same amount was collected in every gauge. For travelers with proper overlap and operated in light wind, an application uniformity greater than 85 is common. Application uniformity between 70 to 85 is in the "good" range and is acceptable for wastewater application. Generally, an application uniformity below 70 is considered unacceptable for wastewater irrigation using travelers_ If the computed Uc is less than 70, system adjustments are required.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in the implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may in runoff to the surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crops production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different applications methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which Sandy vans 1-10 Page 2 could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be ;-Wade for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and the crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 211.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner. Sandy Evans 1-10 Page 3 The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements. In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen. In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc. interseeded in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing, hay and for silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain etc. is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small grain to reach materity, especially late in the season ( i.e. April or May) Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definitely interfere with the stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the time small grain is planted in the fall. The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc. is late September or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results. Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying summer annuals under stressed conditions. Nitrate poisoning may occur in livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is recommended. Acres shown in the tables are considered to be the usable acres excluding required buffers, filters strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the field listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. 12111V1DIt1:111al=11111 91*lkkq The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 2646 lbs. of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove sludge every 5 years you will have approximately 13230 lbs. of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 lbs/acre you will need 44 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 lbs. of nitrogen per acre you will need 106 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estmates of the PAN and the land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on the sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application methods. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity Sandy Evans 1-10 Page 4 of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system -is installed to properly irrrigate the acres shown in tables. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

Risers 4 and 5 were added to this farms wetted acreage in 2004. Producer owns two travellers, a 2625 Cadman, and a 3250 Cadman. Each of these reels have Nelson 150 guns. Producer should use a 1.08" Ring nozzle, operated at 60psi gun pressure for all pulls. The 2625 traveller will lose 5 psi additional pressure due to the smaller I.D. of the supply hose. Each year, the system should be calibrated to insure that +_15% of the 290' specified diameter is being achieved. The 3250 traveller should be used for pulls 2 and 3. Producer is familiar with the operation of the equipment specified. Any additional information needed with regards to calibration, winterization, or other operational features should be requested from either the irrigation dealer or the system designer.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in the implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may in runoff to the surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crops production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different applications methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which Sandy Evans 11-18 Page 2 could allow additional waste to be applied_ Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and the crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Sandy Evans 11-18 Page 3 The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements. In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen. In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc. interseeded in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing, hay and for silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain etc. is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small grain to reach materity, especially late in the season ( i.e. April or May) Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definitely interfere with the stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the time small grain is planted in the fall. The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc. is late September or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results. Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying summer annuals under stressed conditions. Nitrate poisoning may occur in livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is recommended. Acres shown in the tables are considered to be the usable acres excluding required buffers, filters strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the field listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. SLUDGE APPLICATION: The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 2117 lbs. of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove sludge every 5 years you will have approximately 10564 lbs. of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 lbs/acre you will need 35 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 lbs. of nitrogen per acre you will need 85 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estmates of the PAN and the land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on the sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application methods. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity Sandy Evans 11-18 Page 4 of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrrigate the acres shown in tables. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in the implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. __. 3. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may in runoff to the surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems_ 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crops production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different applications methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which Sandy Evans 1-10 Page 2 could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and the crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner. Sandy Evans 1-10 Page 3 V The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements. In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen. In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc. interseeded in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing, hay and /or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain etc. is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small grain to reach materity, especially late in the season ( i.e. April or May) Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definitely interfere with the stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the time small grain is planted in the fall. The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc. is late September or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results. Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying summer annuals under stressed conditions. Nitrate poisoning may occur in livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is recommended. Acres shown in the tables are considered to be the usable acres excluding required buffers, filters strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the field listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. SLUDGE APPLICATION: The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 2646 lbs. of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove sludge every 5 years you will have approximately 13230 lbs, of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 lbs/acre you will need 44 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to com at the rate of 125 lbs. of nitrogen per acre you will need 106 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estmates of the PAN and the land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on the sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application methods. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity Sandy Evans 1-10 Page 4 of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrrigate the acres shown in tables. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

Sheet6 Narrative of Irrigation System Operation This wetted acreage determination is for an existing spray field for this farm. Risers 4 and 5 were added to this farms wetted acreage in 2004. Producer owns two travellers, a 2625 Cadman, and a 3250 Cadman. Each of these reels have Nelson 150 guns. Producer should use a 1,08" Ring nozzle, operated at 60psi gun pressure for all pulls. The 2625 traveller will lose 5 psi additional pressure due to the smaller I.D. of the supply hose. Each year, the system should be calibrated to insure that +-15% of the 290' specified diameter is being achieved. The 3250 traveller should be used for pulls 2 and 3. Producer is familiar with the operation of the equipment specified. Any additional information needed with regards to calibration, winterization, or other operational features should be requested from either the irrigation dealer or the system designer. Sheet?

In many situations the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitations. The maximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions_ 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. In no instances should the volume of the waste be stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm. It is the responsibility of the producer and the waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates shown in the tables. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Call your technical specialist after you have receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to appling the waste.

Sheet6 Narrative of Irrigation System Operation This wetted acreage determination is for an existing spray field for this farm. Risers 3 - 14 were are being added to this farms wetted acreage. Producer owns two travellers, a 2625 Cadman, and a 3250 Cadman. Each of these reels have Nelson 150 guns. Producer should use a 1.08" Ring nozzle, operated at 60psi gun pressure for all pulls. The 2625 traveller will lose 5 psi additional pressure due to the smaller I.D. of the supply hose. Each year, the system should be calibrated to insure that +-15% of the 290' specified diameter is being achieved. The 3250 traveller should be used for pulls 2 and 3. Producer is familiar with the operation of the equipment specified. Any additional information needed with regards to calibration, winterization, or other operational features should be requested from either the irrigation dealer or the system designer. Sheet?

The General Permit was issued to enable swine facilities in North Carolina to obtain coverage under a single permit that addresses both State and Federal requirements. In accordance with your application received on February 20, 2003, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Sandy Evans, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with NPDES General Permit NCA200000. The issuance of this COC supercedes and terminates your COC Number AWS780033 to operate under State Non -Discharge Permit AWG100000. This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management of animal waste from the Sandy Evans 1-18, located in Robeson County, with an animal capacity of no greater than an annual average of 13230 Feeder to Finish swine and the application to land as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). 1f 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 July 1, 2007. 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 General Permit. Since this is a new joint State and Federal general permit it contains many new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained in the current State general permit. Enclosed for your convenience is a package containing the new and revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please pay careful attention to the record keeping and monitoring conditions in this permit. The Devices to Automatically Stop_ Irfigation Events Form must be returned to the Division of Water Quality no later than „120 days following receipt of the Certificate of Coverage.

(Design Capacity) STORAGE STRUCTURE: Anaerobic Waste Treatment Lagoon APPLICATION METHOD: Irrigation The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that -all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization' plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner: 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding atlessthan 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. Page: ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum.range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, f t3, tons, etc_) 5880 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 11172 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 5880 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 13524 lbs. PAN/year Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner. The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing, hay and/or silage. where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small grain to reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e. April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definitely interfere with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small Page: 5 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on time small grain is planted in the fall. The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results. ** Acreage figures may exceed total acreage in fields due to overseeding. * lbs AW N (animal waste -nitrogen) equals total required nitrogen less any commercial nitrogen (COMM N) supplied.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. SLUDGE APPLICATION: The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 2175.6 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. - If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 10878 pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 36.26 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 67.024 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed.. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application methods. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and Paqe: 7 ANIMAL WASTE 'UTILIZATION PLAN amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

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

TIME END TOTAL Indicates that this field is being overseeded (i.e. interplanted) or winter annuals follow summer annuals. In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermudagrass), forage crust be removed through grazing, hay and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small grainreach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e. Aril or Max). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definitely interfere with the stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on time small grain is planted in the fall. The ideal time to interplant small drain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrase should be grazed or mowed to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results. * Acreage figures may exceed total acreage in fields due to overseeding. ** lbs AW N (animal waste nitrogen) equals total required nitrogen less any commercial nitrogen (COMM N) supplied.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitat-ions. Actual total acres n the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produceproximately 4895.1 pounds of plant available nitrogen (PAN)appper year in the sludge that will need to be removed on a periodic basis. This figguure is PAN when broadcasting the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well special equipment, may be needed when you remcve this sludge. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE 7 See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of waste water. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs: This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding caVacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure be within 1.7 feet of the top of the dike. if surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may snake this plan invalid. Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. NARRATIVE OF OPERATION: Open ditch separating fields 2,3,4,5, and 6 will be tiled and backfilled. WASTE UTILIZATION FLAN PAGE 8 Plans and Specifications 1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land to properly dispose of waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall ggrovi.de MRCS with a copy of a smitten agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of tine production facility. it is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan -when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless theme are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per ear and ag ry riate filter strips .� ._ will be used where runoff Teaves� the �ield. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. (see FOTO Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 Interim Riparian. Forest Suffers) . 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when the grind is blowing. G. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in the MRCS Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance. 7. Liqquuid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offaite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during appplication. NO ponding should occur in order to control conditions conducive to odor or flies azld to provide uniformity of application. S• Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE 9 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of a crop on are soil. 11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips) 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than Zoo feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right -of ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site y a "technical specialist". Animal waste s ould not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge into matey courses, except when applied at agronomic rates and -the application causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structure$ must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event i,n addition to one (1) foot mandatory freeboard. 18. A protective cover of appropriate veggetation will be established on all disturbed areas Magoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special, ve etation shall be provided for these areas and shall be genced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berets and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. 19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and imple- mentin a 'closure plane which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 20. Waste handling structures, pi ing, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular bass to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site.

TIME END TOTAL 0 - Indicates that this field is being overseeded (i.e. interplanted) or winter annuals follow summer annuals. In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing, hay and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to .nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e. April or Maur). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definitely interfere with the stand of. bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on time small grain is planted in the fall. The ideal time to interplant small gain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results. * Acreage figures may exceed total acreage in fields due to overseeding. ** lbs AW N (animal waste nitrogen) equals total required nitrogen Less any commercial nitrogen (COMM N) supplied.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 4895.1 pounds of plant available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the sludge that will need to be removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when broadcasting the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well special equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE 7 See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of waste water. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure be within 1.7 feet of the top of the dike. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. NARRATIVE OF OPERATION: Open ditch separating fields 2,3,4,5, and 6 will be tiled and backfilled. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE 8 Plans and Specifications 1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land to properly dispose of waste. If. the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients_ 4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS} or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 Interim Riparian Forest Buffers). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application_ Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing. G. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in the MRCS Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance. 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions conducive to odor or flies and to provide uniformity of application. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE 9 10. Waste. nutrients shall not be applied in fall. or winter for sprint/ planted crops on soils with,a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils - should be held. to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of a crop on bare soil. 11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips) 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14_ Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right -of ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste should not be applied on grassed wateivays that discharge into water courses, except when applied at agronomic rates and the application causes no runoff or drift from the site. 1£. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. 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 one (1) foot mandatory freeboard. 18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody.species, etc. are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. 19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and imple- menting a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 20. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site.

The plan is based on the soil types, crops to be grown, and method of application for your particular operation. The waste must be land applied at a spec i f i ed rate to prevent. po 1 1 ut i on of surf ace and/or ground water. The plant nutrients in tjh'e animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each appIicat'd_an cycle and annual soil tests are encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize -the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient'content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates and leaching potential. Waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils or on land when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or not more than 30 days prior to planting. Soil incorporation of waste will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. Page 2 The acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility.

The technical specialist must verify,.that all applicable operation and maintenance standards and specifications can .be met. Existing systems are not. required. to meet design and const--uctfon standards and specifications - Although the actual number of animals on the facilit-y may vary from time to time. the design capacity of the waste handling system should be used to determine .i.f a farm is subject to the certification requirement. For pxammle, if the waste system for a feedlot is designees to handle 300 hogs but the average population will be 200 hogs,. -then the waste management systems requires a certification. This Certification is required by regulations governing animal waste management systems adopted by the rnviranmental Management Commission (EMC) an December 10, 1992. (Title 15A NCAC 2H .0217) . On the. reverse. side of this page is the certification form which must be submitted to DEM before January 1, 1998.

Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder -that the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement (sample enclosed) with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. it is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land_ 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients_ 4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS-)::, or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 (Interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers.] 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in the Technical Reference - Environment field for guidance.) WASTE. UTILIZATION. PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application.
