NUH I H LAHULINA Department of Environmental Quai CMS Farming Co., Inc. 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 1058 lbs. of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove sludge every 5 years you will have approximately 5292 lbs. of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 lbs/acre you will need 18 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 lbs. of nitrogen per acre you will need 42 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 CMS Farming Co., Inc. 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 irrigate 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 following table is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts. Tract No. Field No. Soil Type Crop Code Applic. Rate in/hr Applic.

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 On pulls that have a two-year rotation of com, wheat and soybeans, the acres have been reduced by one-half to account for PAN each year. Use the following table for acres in each pull on Form IRR-2 Pull Acres 1A 5.90 1 B 4.10 1 C 6.20 2A 7.00 2B 6.00 2C 7.00 2D 7.00 43.20 CMS Farming Co., inc. Page 6 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED 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. 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 property apply 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 him/her 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 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, 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 land 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 disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation Meld. 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" for guidance.) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate that runoff does not occur offsite or to the surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies. 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 the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10, Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potentual 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 the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residenrial property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied closer than 26 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips). CMS Farming Co., Inc. Page 7 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 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 he 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 shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegtation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas 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. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidences of erosion, leakage or discharge. 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illigal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19. Waste handling structures, piping pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20. Animal waste -can be used in a rotation that includes vegetation and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to marls the top and the bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soil shall'be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metal approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five (5) years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) ._ years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

The time required for the plonnc::d fluid level ( permanent and :uWmporary storage) to be rC?achet may vary due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount of 'fresh water added to the sys'k.sm. The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for (1) waste from animals and (2) excess rairlfa:l after evaporation; Also included is storage for the 25 year - 24 hour storm for the location. The volume of waste generated from a giver number of animals will be fairly cznstant throughout the year and from year ;:o year, but excess rainfall will vary from year to -year. The 25 year rainfall will not be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage volume must always be available. A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from buildings). If the outlet pipe is not installed at the elevation to begin pumping, a permanent marker- must be installed at this blev<a.tion to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established to stop pumping to maintain lagoon treatment depth. Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between theme two elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste withowt runoff or leaching. Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set,, center pivot,, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops. The following items are to be carried out: 1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre - charged to 1./2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during start-up. Pre -charging reduces the concentration of the initial waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be covered with effluent at all. times. When precharging is complete, flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not be used for flushing after .initial, filling. 2. The attached was>te utilization plain shall be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment) befcare Aand application. _, . Begin temporary storage pump -out of the lagoon Nhen fluid level reaches the elevation 51.1 as market by permanent marker. Stop pump -- out when the fluid level reaches elevation &?... ThiB temporary storage, less 25 yr-- 24 hr- <: 1.:or'K, contains 146655 cubic feet or 11 56i78 gallons. ;TIE= T 2 OF 4, The recommended maximum amount to apply peq irrigation is one (1) inch and the recommended rt wAimum. application rate is 0..7 inch per hour. Refer to the waste utilization plan for further details. 5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain a vigorous stand. 6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and estab l i.sh in vegetation. . All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable outlets. S. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around waste utilization fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will not be applied in open ditches. Jo not pump within 200 feet of a residence or within 100 feet of a well. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach ether- property and public right-of-ways. 9. The Clean Water Act of 1?77 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States. The department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ- mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law.

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 specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or ground water. The plant nutrients in the 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 application 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 nutri4nts 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 .3 If more commercial fertilizer is used than shown in this plan, then additional acres of land may be needed. A three to fifteen feet wide permanent grass filter strip should be seeded along all ditches in fields that receive animal waste.

OFFICE receive lagoon liquid, This will make storage space avallabie in the lagoon for future wee periods. in the late summer/early fah.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 maintain the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as long as the weather and waste utilization plan will allow it. Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maxiirnurn storage capacity before starting to irrigate does not leave room for storing excess water during extended wet periods. Overflow from the lagoon Tor any reason except a ?5-year, 24-hour Storm is a 004tiorl of state lave and subject to penalty action, The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following: Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the darn. Fescue or common bermudagrass are the most common vegetative covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year, if needed, to maintain a vigorous sand. The amount of fertilizer applied should be based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not practical to obtain a soils test each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas should be fertilized with 800 pounds per acre or 10-10-10, or equivalent. Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlied. This may be done by mowing, spraying, grazing, chopping, or a combination of these practices. This should be done at least once a year and possibly twice in years that weather conditions are favorable for heavy vegetative growth. NOTE: If vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to enter the lagoon water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating the waste. Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of the lagoon and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. Items to be checked should include, as a minimum, the following: Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes —look for: 1. separation of joints 2. cracks or breaks 3. accumulation of salts or minerals 4. overall condition of pipes Lagoon surface --loot; fog; 1. _ undesirable vegetative growth 2. floating or lodged debris Embankment --look for, 1. settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes 2 side slope stability -,slumps or buives 3. wet or damp areas on the back slope -4. erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a res::it of wave action S. rodent damage Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong Mnos. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon dam. 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 in the !agoon may be used to reduce the wave impacts. .;nv or these features could lead to erosion and weakenirg,J: rh? dam. !f your lagoon has any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert famk:tar with des gn and cost; uctio^ of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary fix if there ig 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 equipmn ant is a serious undertaking with potentiaily serious consequences and should no, oe conducted unless recommended by an appropriate technical expert. Transfer Pumps --check for proper operation of: 1 . recycling pumps 2. irrigation pumps Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or grinding noise, or'a large amount of vibration, may indicate that the pump is in reed or repair or replacement. NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operate,' frequently enough so that you are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform vour pumping system maintenance at a time when your lagoon} is at its low level. This will allow some safety time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly fui! lagoon is not the time to think about switching, repairing , or bcrrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is full, your neighbor's lagoon is Tull also. You should consider maintaining an 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 runofrl away from your lagoon and other waste treatment or storage structures. The only water that should be corning frorn 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 heght identified problems 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 la Pon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then retard the level again 4 to b hours after the rain (assurnes there is no pumping). This will give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount (y'su must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). 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 ;here may be seepage into the lagoon from the surrounding land. Lagoon Operation Startup: ]. Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil Surfaces to avoid erosion. ?. Fill new lzgoo.i design treatment volume at least half full of water before waste loading begins, taking, care not to erode lining or bank slopes. .3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender on the end of the pipe to discharge 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, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather). 5, it is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full lagoon liquid volume. Thi; seeding should occour at least two weeks prior to the addition of wastewater. 6. Maintain a Periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. if the pH falls below 7.0, add agricultural lirne at the rate of ] pound per 1300 dubic feet of lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Ootimum 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 proionged periods, especially during the warm season. Goading: The more Frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the better the lagoon will function. Flush systems that VVasi� 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 Slav, also work welt. t Management: Practice water wnservation—minimize building water usage and spillage frorn leaking waterers, broken ;pipes and washdown through proper maintenance acd water conservation. ,'viinirnize feed wastage and sait'lage by keeping feeders adjusted. This w0i reduce the amount of solids entering the lagoon Maintain lagoon liquid level between; the permanent storage level and Me full temporary storaena_- level. Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the minimum liquid level and the.maximurn liquid iever (r"ia:.-re ?-; ). era+rt irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring based on nutrient requirennents and soil moisture so that temporary storage .�i!! be maxim:zWa for the summer thunderstorm, season. Similarly, ,rr igate in the late >umrrter/early Tali to provide maximum lagoon Storage for t;ne winter. The lagoon liquid level -should never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest point of the dam or en,i.-ankment. Do not pump the lagoon liquid level lower that the permanent storage level unless you are removing sludge. Locate float s::rpump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid I and as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible, Prevent additions of bedding rnaterials, long-stemmed forage or vegetation, molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon. Frequently remove solids from catch basins at end of conf;nement houses or wherever they are installed. Maintain strict vegetation, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges Do not allow trees or !arge bushes to grow or lagoon darn or embankment. Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is V1 or before it rills SD percent of the permanent storage volume, if animal production is fo be terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a closure p,an tc eliminate the possibility of a pollutant discharge, Sludge Removal: Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can he reduced by: proper lagoon sizing, mechanical soiids separation of flushed waste, gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an apppropriatel�y designed basin, or minimizing teed wastage and spillage. Lagoon sludge that is removed annualyly rather than stored long tern will: have more nutrients, have more odor, and require more land to properly u.e the nutrients. Removal techniques: Hire a custom applicator. mix the slugge and lagoon liquid with a chopper-agi-ator impaHe. pump tri'ough large -bore sprinkler irriga-ion system onto nearby crop':arid; and soil, incorporate. Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby .-ropiand or foragelanc; mix rernaining sludge; puma into liquid sludge applicator; ha:.,l and spread onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate. Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or forageland; dredge sludge from lagoon with dragline or sludge barge; berm an area beside lagoon to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain hack into lagoon; allow sludge to dewater; haul and spread with manure spreader onto cropland or forage!and; and soil incorporate. Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields wi:l be limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste appiications to that flea and crap 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 darnage. Close attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the Idgoon liner remains intact. I` you see soil material w the synthetic !iner material being disturbed, you should stop t'�e activity immediately and not resurnte 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. 5ludge removed from the lagoon has a muc,� higher phosphorus and heavy metal content than liquid. Because of this it shou:d probably ce applied to land with low phosphorus and metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to red;;ce the chance of erosion. Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soli -test phosphores, it should be applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value. The appiicat,on of slud.?e will increase the amount of odor at the waste appiiCatior site. extra precaution should be used to observe the %vind direction and other conditions which could increase the concern of neighbors. 1 r Passible Causes ��t ! aQoar7 Failure iaqci n fa',surF5 result in the un;Aar nk dlscha ge of "vvewa: r from the wjclire...

SHEET 1 OF Oh~GRATION AND MAINTENANCE FLAN ThA lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent StO7aag2) and 180 days of temporary St.Or_tge . The time nequii.red for the p 1 -7mmEd fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be reac het may vary due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. The designed temporary/ storage consists of 180 days storage for: (1) waste from animals and (7) excess rainfall after evaporation: Also included is storage for the 25 year - 24 hour storm for the location. The volume of waste generated frpm a given number of animals will be fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year, but excess rainfall will vary from year to year. The ^b year rainfall will not be a factor to consider in are annual pumping cycle, but this storage volume must always be available. A maximuh elevation is determined in each design to begin pumping and this is usually the cutlet invert of pipe(s) from building(s). If the outlet pipe is not installed at the elevation tin begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed at this elevatic- to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established to stop pumping to maintain lagoon treatment depth. Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without runoff or leaching. Land application of waste water is recognized as an accsptable method of disposal. Methods of application include solid seat., center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops. The following items are 4'o be carried out: 1. It fs strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre - charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during start-up. Pre -charging reduces the concentration of the initial waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be covered with effluent at all times. When precharging is complete, flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not be used for flushing after initial filling. ^. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment) before Aand application. 1. Begin temporary storage pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches the elevation tit.3 as marked by pe•rm «.n nt marker. Stop pump - out Stirh-sen the fluid level reachez elevation 43.3 .

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 specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or ground water. The plant nutrients in the 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 application 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.3 If more commercial fertilizer is used than shown in this plan, then additional acres of land may be needed. A three to fifteen feet wide permanent grass filter strip should be seeded along all ditches in fields that receive animal waste.

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. 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 him/her 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 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, 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 land 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 disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift 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 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" 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 odor or flies. 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 the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. Page: 9 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED _SPECIFICATIONS 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 the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharges directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas 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. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. Page: 10 1 } WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied preplant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. Page: 11 CMS Farming Co., Inc. 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.

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 RECEIVED ! DEAR !
