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 raw * e the fertikervalue 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 =own and the nutrient content ofthe waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have digerent infiltration rates, leaching ti potenals. cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally wa-,-shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozeu. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. injecting the waste or dlskiug will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems_ The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited 2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within: a reasonable proximity, allowing himlher the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste UttEwdon Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. :3 . Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management. unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to had eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strip). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or dishing after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger ofdrift from the irrigation field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tMed crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to floodin (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.) 7.

MURPHY FAMILY FARMS Rose Hill, North Carolina Farmfrract Name Location SR. 1151T &npS n GQ_ Date �jyr Scale / ": 1.5 to ' Acres Drawn by: Features drawn from: ,�- CC/ % e m System Calibration Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operation conditions with relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application rates change over time as equipment gets older and components wear. In particular, 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. You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed irr the design will after the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently the application uniformity. For example, operating the- system with excessive pressure results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift-, and- accelerates wear afthe- sprinkler nozzle. Clogging of nozzles can result in pressure increase-. Plugged- intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure. Operating below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application uniformity. For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to r ensure proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at several locations in the application area. Any number of containers can be used to collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because they already have a graduated scale from which to read the application amount without having to perform additional calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets, jars, or anything with a uniform opening and cross-section can be used_ provided the liquid collected can be easily transferred to a scaled container for measuring. For stationary sprinklers, collection containers. should be located randomly throughouT the application area at several distances from sprinklers. For traveling guns, sprinklers should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direction of pull. Set out collection containers 25 feet apart along the transect on both sides of the gun can:. You should compute the average application rate for all nonuniformity of the application. On a windless day, variation between containers of more than 30 percent is cause for concern. You should contacr your irrigation dealer or technical specialist for assistance. 'Reprinred for Certification Training for Operations of Animal Waste Management Systems Manual OPERATION & ANCE PLAN Proper lagoon liquid manageme+rt should be a year-round priority. It is especially important to manage levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and wetpedods. M23dmum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the receiving is dormant (such as wintertime for berraudap -ass) or when there are ended many sells such as the thund---'storm season in the summerrime.. This means .that at the Furst signs of plant growth in the lat= wintei/eariy spring, irrigation ac.rormng to a fame waste management platy should be done whe.-ever the- land is dry enough to receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet periods_ In the lacy summer/eariy fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the low marker (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage- Every effort should be made to mabtrain the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as -long as the weather and wash utilimriorr plait will allow it:. Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before starting to irrigate does not Ieave room for storing excess water during e-�tended wet periods. _ Overflow lam the lagoon for any reason except a 25-year, 24--hour storm is a violzdcm or s= law and subject to penalty action. The routine 1mG:nteaance of a lagoon involves the following: M--=tenancy of a veae='ve cove. for the dam. F Pscue or common oe.,mudag ass are the most common vegetative covers. The vege=aon should be fe_-dli:zed each v=, if -needed, to Amin a vigorous stand. The amount of fe_. 117— applied should be based on a soils trstr but in the event thaz it is not _practical to obtain a soils test each year, the lagoon embanmment and surrounding areas saouid be ferzili�— with 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or equivalent. Brush and t= on the embankment must be controlled. This may be done by mowing, s ving, grazing, chopping, or a combination of these uz-acticrs. Tris should be done at least once a year and nossioly twice in years that weather conditions are favorable for heavy vegetative growth. NOTE: If vegemdon is controlled by straying, the herbicide must not be allowed to eater the lagoon water Such chemicals could harm the bact..ia in the lagoon that are the waste_ Nfaintenan= insperions of the entire Iagoon should be made during the initial filling of the lagoon and at Ieast monthly and aft:= major rainfall and storm events. Items to be- checked should include, as a minimum, the following: Waste Inlet Pipes, Recyciing Pipes, and Overflow Pipes ---look for. I_ separation of joints 2- cra- or breaks 3. accumulation of salts or minerals. 4. overall condition of pipes Lagoon surface----Iook for: 1. undesirable vegetative gxowth 2. floating or lodged debris Embankment —look for. 1. settlement, cracking, or -jug" holes 2. side slope stability —slumps or bulges 3. wet or damp areas on the back slope 4. erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result of wave action 5. rodent damage Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon data. A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action_ If wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffles irr the.lagoon- may be used to reduce the wave impacts. Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam: If your lagoon has any of then: futures, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with design and construction of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary -fix if there is a threat of a waste discharge. However , a permanent solution should be reviewed by the technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious undertaking with .notentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless recommended by an appropriate twhnical expert. Transfer Pumps ---check for proper operation of: 1. recyclin' pumps 2. irrigation pumps Check for leaks, loose fittings, and oveall pump operation. An unusually loud or grinding noise, or a large amount of vibradon, may indicate that the pump is in need or repair or replacement. NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated.f=uently enough so that you_ are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You shoufd perform your -pumping system main=ance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This will allow some safety time should major repairs be required. Having anearly full lagoon is notthe time to think about switching, repairing , or borrowing purmas. Probably, if your -lagoon is full, yourneighborss lagoon is full also. You should considir mai.ntniningan inventory of spare parts or pumps. Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets, and parking lot runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste treatment or storage structures. The only water that should be coming from your -lagoon is that which comes from your -flushing (washing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon, directly. You should inspect your diversion system for the following: 1. adequate vegetation 2. diversion capacity 3. ridge berm hieight Identified tmoblems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts. You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then record the level again 4 to 6 hours afar the rain (assumes these is no pumping). This will give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a crrrain rainfall amount (you must also be recording your rainfall for this to worm). Knowing this should help in planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may have an inflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the lagoon from the surrounding land. Lagoon Operation Startup: 1. Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil surfaces to avoid erosion. 2. Fill new Iagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before waste loading begins, taidng care not to erode lining or bank slopes. 3. Drainni= into the lagoon should have a flexible nine extender on the end of the pine to disc:.arge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial filling or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of the lining. 4: When possible, be;in loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather). 5. It is recommended that a new lagoon be s=ded with sludge from a healthy working swine la -croon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full.iagoon liquid volume. This seeding should occour at I=st two weeks priorto the addition of wastewater. 6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below 7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of I pound per 1000 cubic fee.* of lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid pH is between 7.5 and 8.0. 7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate biological activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is recommended if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm season. Loading: The more frequently and regulariv that wastewate. is added to a lagoon, the better the lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily are optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained and recharged each day, also work weft. Practice water conservation —minimize building water usage and spillage from leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through proper maintenance and water conservation. Minimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping fevers adjusted. This will reduce the amount of solids entering the lagoon an2geme= Maintain lagoon: liquid level between the permanent storage level and the full temporary storage level. Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the minimum liquid level and the maximum liquid lever (Figure 2-1). Start irrigating at the earliest possible daze in the spring based on nutrient requirements and soil moisture so that 'temporary storage will be maximized for the summer thunderstorm season. Similarly, irrigate in the late summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon storage for the winter. The lagoon liquid level should never be close. than 1 foot to the lowest point of the dare or embankment. Do not pump the lagoon liquid level lower that the permanent storage level unless you are removing sludge. Locate float pump intakes approximately IS inches underneath the liquid surface and as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible. Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-stemmed forage orvegetat<on, molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon. Frequently remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or wherever they are installed. Maintain strict vegemtion, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges. Do not allow tr= or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embankm=t Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is full or before it tills 50 percent of the permanent storage volume. If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility of a. pollutant discharge. Sludge Removal: Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by: proper lagoon sizing, mechanical solids seaaration of flushed waste, araviry settling of flushed, waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or minimizing feed wastage and spillagge. Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will: have more nutrients, have more odor, and require more land to properly use the nutrients. Removal =hnicues: Hire a custom applicator. Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper -agitator impeller pump through Iarge-bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland; and soil incomoram. Dewater the utmer part of Iagoon by irrigation Onto nearby cropland or forageland; mix remaining sludge; Pump into licuid sludge av licatar; haul and spread onto cropland or forageiand; and soil incorporate. Dewater the ut;t}e. Dart of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or ;orageland; drage sludge from lagoon with ddiagiine or siudge barge; germ an area beside lagoon to receive the sludge so that liquids can drift bark into lagoon; allow sludge to dewater; haul and spread with manure soreaaer onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate. Regardless of die method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The siudge will. contain duf=t nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The application of the siudge to fields will. be Limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste aptslic arions to that field and crop requirement Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3. When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage. Cose attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner remains intact_ If you see soli material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should stop the a.ctiviry immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can be removed without liner injury. If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as possible. Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and -heavy metal content than liquid_ Be`ause of this it should probably be appiied to land with Iow phosphorus and mewl levels, as indicated by a soil test, and inco- crated to reduce the chance of erosion. Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil -test phosphores, it should be applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of Dhosphonis. As wiih othe^ wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value. The applic�on of sludge will i.ncre: se the amount of odor at tht waste application site_ Exrra precaurion should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which could increase the concern of neighbors. Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure Lagoon failures result in the unplanned discharge of wasmwater from the structure. Types of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, oven ppi.ng, and breach of the dam. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for ensuring sauctvre safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures include: Modification of the lagoon structure --an ==ple is the placement of a- pipe in the dam without proper design and construction. (Consult. an expert in lagoon design before placing any pipes in dams.) Lagoon liquid levels ---high levels.are a safety risk. Failure to inspect and maintain the dam. Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon. Laver integrity —protest from inlet -pipe scouring, damage during sludge removal, or runrure from lowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater table. NOTE: JJ lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving water, will soon Calls gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quicklycause a Iarge discharge of wastewa.- and possible dam failure. EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN PHONE NUMBERS DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY (DW(a) lo)�i%(.

Only the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application. Any acreage within the plan that can not be reached by waste application equipment can not be used as part of your plan. An evaluation by Trent Allen on 2/11/99 was made to review the actual number of acres at your facility that receive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of the following two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X". Category 1: ❑ The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Trent Allen the Necessary information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre determination. Please submit this information to Trent Allen, at 225 Green Street, Suite 714, Fayetteville, NC 28301, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you have any questions please contact Trent Allen at (910) 486-1541. If within 90 days you are unable to provide Trent Allen with the Information you are automatically required to complete a Wettable Acre Determination as described by Category 2 below, within 180 days of receipt of this letter. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Telephone 919-733-5083 Fax 919-715-6048 An Equal Opportunity AMrmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10%a post -consumer paper 6. Notification for Wettable Acre Determination Animal Waste Management System Page 2 Category 2: JK Your facility has been identified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources as a facility that may have overestimated the number of acres actually receiving animal waste. Therefore, some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan. In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N,C. Cooperative Extension Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this designation, or a Professional Engineer. All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be returned to DWQ within the next 180 days. If the needed modifications are not made and if the form is not returned within the required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation, and/or injunctive relief. Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan must be kept at your facility. DWQ and the Division of Soil & Water Conservation Staff will review all documentation during their annual visit of your facility. An additional copy must by kept on file at the local Soil & Water Conservation District Office. Please note that if you install or modify your irrigation system, a designated Irrigation Specialist or a Professional Engineer must also sign the Wettable Acre Determination Certification.

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

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

Sullins Director Division of Water Quality l August 11, 2008 Murphy -Brown, LLC CC/Tomahawk Farm PO Box 1139 Wallace, NC 28466 Subject: Sludge Compliance Requirement Change Dear Permittee: In accordance with Condition I1I.19 of State General Permit AWG100000, your facility is required to maintain compliance regarding sludge accumulation in your animal waste treatment lagoon(s). As you know, the previous compliance limit was to have a minimum of four (4) feet of treatment depth between the designed stop pump and the average elevation of the top of the sludge blanket. This requirement was based on NRCS Standard No. 359, which was recently modified. As of July 2008, Standard No. 359 does not use the 4-foot requirement. Sludge compliance is now to be based on the sludge volume as a percentage of the total treatment volume. The revised Standard states that sludge accumulation in the permanent treatment zone must be less than 50% of the planned treatment volume. Also, there must be a minimum of 2.5 feet of liquid above the sludge at the pump intake location. If either of these conditions is not met then sludge must be removed or managed in accordance with an approved Plan of Action for Lagoon Sludge Reduction (POA). A new sludge survey worksheet has been developed to calculate sludge and treatment volumes to determine compliance. Our records indicate that you have filed a Sludge POA for one or more of the lagoons at your facility. Based on -the changes to the sludge requirements in Standard No. 359, your lagoon(s) may already be in compliance without any sludge removal. Using your lagoon design (or as - built information) and current sludge survey measurements, complete the NEW sludge survey worksheet. If you have any difficulty in locating or understanding your lagoon design information, please contact your technical specialist or county Soil & Water office.

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