If our records are in error please resubmit the completed PLAT Form for this farm. There is a condition in your Animal Waste Management General NPDES Permit addressing the completion of the Phosphorous Loss Assessment Tool for your animal feeding operation upon notification by the Division of Water Quality (Division). Your NPDES Permit Number NCA282335 Condition 1.6 states: "If prior to the expiration date of this permit either the state or federal government establishes Phosphorus loss standards that are applicable to land application activities at a facility operating under this permit, the Permittee must conduct an evaluation of the facility and its CAWMP under the requirements of the Phosphorus loss standards to determine the facility's ability to comply with the standards. This evaluation must be documented on forms supplied or approved by the Division and must be submitted to the Division. This evaluation must be completed by existing facilities within six (6) months of receiving notification from the Division. The method of evaluation is the Phosphorous Loss Assessment Tool (PLAT) developed by NC State University and the Natural Resources Conservation Service. PLAT addresses four potential loss pathways: leaching, erosion, runoff and direct movement of waste over the surface. Each field must be individually evaluated and rated as either low, medium, high or very high according to its Phosphorus loss potential. The ratings for your farm must be reported to DWQ using the attached certification form. The PLAT forms must be kept as records on your farm for future reference. The Division's records show that you received the notification to conduct PLAT on April 18, 2006, To avoid possible enforcement action for a violation of your permit, The Division of Water Quality requests that the following items be addressed: 1.

A notification that this was required was mailed previously by certified mail with return receipt requested but verification of receipt has not been documented. If our records are in error and this facility has completed the PLAT assessment, please resubmit the completed PLAT Form for this farm. There is a condition in your recently issued Animal Waste Management General NPDES Permit addressing phosphorous loss standards. The permit condition quoted below states that if the state or federal government establishes phosphorus loss standards your facility must conduct an evaluation within 180 days. The Federal Natural Resources Conservation Service has now established this standard. A computer -based program was developed to determine how much phosphorus was being lost from different fields. Instructions on how to comply with this requirement are provided below. In accordance with your NPDES Permit Number NCA282335 Condition I.6, your facility must now conduct a Phosphorus Loss Assessment. Condition I.6 states: "If prior to the expiration date of this permit either the state or federal government establishes Phosphorus loss standards that are applicable to land application activities at a facility operating under this permit, the Permittee must conduct an evaluation of the facility and its CAWMP under the requirements of the Phosphorus loss standards to determine the facility's ability to comply with the standards. This evaluation must be documented on forms supplied or approved by the Division and must be submitted to the Division. This evaluation must be completed by existing facilities within six (6) months of receiving notification from the Division. Once Phosphorus loss standards are established by the state or federal government that are applicable to facilities applying to operate under this permit, no Certificate of Coverage will be issued to any new or expanding facility to operate under this permit until the applicant demonstrates that the new or expanding facility can comply with these standards."

This information on the attached form(s) must be submitted within 180 days of receipt of this letter to: Duane Leith Animal Feeding Operations Unit Division of Water Quality 1636 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1636 NPDES permitted farms will need to have implemented a nutrient management plan which addresses phosphorus loss before the next permit cycle beginning July, 2007, If you have any fields with a high or very high rating, then your waste utilization plan will require modifications. The purpose of performing PLAT this early is to allow adequate time for making waste plan modifications where necessary. With the next permit, continued application of waste will not be allowed on fields with a very high rating. For fields rated high, only the amount of phosphorus projected to be removed by the harvested crop. For low and medium ratings, phosphorus will not be the limiting factor. Once the PLAT evaluation is completed on your farm, you will know if you have fields that need further work. You are encouraged to begin developing and implementing a strategy to deal with any issues as soon as possible.

This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of cropland needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements, and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake, This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or other by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each field in order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation, Animal operations that generate liquid waste and utilize waste storage facilities (lagoons or holding ponds) may apply more or less waste in any given year than is annually generated by the facility. In order to determine whether the plan adequately utilizes the waste produced by the facility, the storage capacity table included in this plan should be reviewed to ensure that the design capacity of the storage facility is not exceeded during the planning period. Depending on the requirements of the crop and the nutrient content of the waste, some nutrients will likely be over or under applied if animal waste is being utilized. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle and annual soil tests are required if animal waste is being applied. Soil tests should be used to balance the nutrient application amounts with the realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Nutrient management plans may require that the application of animal waste be limited so as to prevent over application of phosphorous when excessive levels of this nutrient are detected in a field 177821 Database Version 2.0 -Date Printed: 12-07-2001 WUT Page 1 of 5 Waste Utilization Table Year 1 Nitrogen Comm.

The start date is a value entered by the user and is defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or holding pond is equal to zero. Available storage capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the design storage capacity of the facility. If the available storage capacity is greater than the design storage capacity, this indicates that the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet ac=mdated_ If available storage capacity is negative, the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the benign storage volume of the structure. Either of these situations indicates that the planned application interval in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the structure's temporary storage capacity.

Any discharge of waste that 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 property dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence 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 waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving crop type, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict:the rate of applications 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 eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, MRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips. 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land application field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is 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). -- ----------------------------------------------------- 177821 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 12-07-2001 Specification Page 1 o 7.

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 the fields 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. -------------------------------------------------------- ---- -------------------- -- 177821 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 12-07-2001 Specification Page 2 a 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. 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.

Review the Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to select a high yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Plant 1-2" deep. Plant populations should be determined by the hybrid being planted. Increase the seeding rate by 10% when planting no -till. Phosphorus and potassium recommended by a soil test can be broadcast or banded at planting. When planting early in cool, wet soil, banded phosphorus will be more available to the young plants_ An accepted practice is to apply 20-30 lbs/acre N and 20-30 lbs/acre phosphorus banded as a starter and one-half the remaining N behind the planter. The rest of the N should be applied about 30-40 days after emergence. The total amount of N is dependent on soil type. When including a starter in the fertilizer program, the recommended potassium and any additional phosphorus is normally broadcast at planting. Plant samples can be analyzed during the growing season to monitor the overall nutrient status of the corn. Timely management of weeds and insects are essential for corn production. The following crop note applies to field(s): Pull 1 Fescue: Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, Poorly Drained to Somewhat Poorly Drained_ Adaptation: Moderate to Marginal. In the Coastal Plain, tall fescue can be planted Sept. 1 to Oct. 15 (best) and Feb_ 15 to Mar. 20. For pure -stand broadcast seedings use 20 to 30 lb/ac., for drilled use 15 to 20 lb/ac. seed_ Use certified seed to avoid introducing weeds or annual ryegrass_ Plant seed 0.25" to 0.5" deep for pure stands, 0.25" in mixture with clovers. Tall fescue will tolerate soil wetness but not flooding or prolonged saturation; use ladino clover for mixtures on these soils_ Soil test for preplant and maintenance lime, phosphorus, and potassium recommendations. Apply 40 to 60 lb/ac nitrogen at planting for pure stands only_ Do not apply N for mixtures with clovers but use proper legume inoculation techniques_ Apply 150 to 200 lb/ac_ N to pure -stand fescue for hay production; reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Apply N Feb_ 1 to Mar_ 20 and Aug. 20 to Sept. 30, with equal amounts in each window.

Review the NCSU Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to select a high yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Apply no more than 30 lbs/acre N at planting. Phosphorus and potash recommended by a soil test report can also be applied at this time. The remaining N should be applied during the months of February -March. The total N is dependent on the soil type. Plant samples can be analyzed during the growing season to monitor the nutrient status of the wheat. Timely management of diseases, insects and weeds are essential for profitable wheat production. ---------------------------------- -------------------------- - 177821 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 12-07-2001 Crop Note Page 2 of The following crop note applies to field(s): Pull 2, Pull 3, Pull 4, Pull 5, Pull 6, Pull 7, Pull 8 Cereal/Annual Rye Overseeded — Grazed CEREAL RYE The cereal rye should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter growth_ The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling rye into short (less than 3 inches tall) bermudagass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short benmuda sod followed by alight cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior to August 31. An application of 50 lbs/acre of Plant Available N (PAN) may be applied between September 15 and October 30. An additional 50 lbs.acre of PAN may be applied in February -March. If rye growth is harvested on time and does not significantly shade the bermuda, PAN rates for the subsequent bermuda crop are based on realistic yields of bermuda. A harvest is required prior to heading or April 7, which ever comes first. This is necessary to minimize the potential for shading bermuda and reducing its yields. The PAN rate for grazed systems with bermuda overseeded with cereal rye must be reduced by 25%_ ANNUAL RYEGRASS Annual ryegrass should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter growth_ The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling ryegrass into short (less than 3 inches tall) bermudagrass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate for broadcast planting of seeds' should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds_ The last application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior to August 31. An application of 501bs/acre of PAN may be applied between September 15 and October 30. An additional 50 lbs. acre of PAN may be applied in February -March. If additional PAN is applied to the ryegrass in April -May, the PAN rate for the Bermuda must be reduced by a corresponding amount. This is necessary because ryegrass growth during April -May will reduce Bermuda yields and shorten the time bermuda can fully utilize the N.

Review the NCSU Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to select a high }Melding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions_ Plant 24 seed/row foot for 7-8" drills; 4-6 seed/row foot for 15" rows; 6-8 seed/row foot for 30" rows and 8-10 seed/row foot for 36" rows. Increase the seeding rate by at least l 0% for no -till planting. Seeding depth should be 1-1 1/2" and adequate depth control is essential_ Phosphorus and potash recommended.for the soybeans can be applied to the wheat in the Fall. Soybeans produce their own nitrogen and are normally grown without additions of nitrogen. However, applications of 20-30 lbs/acre N are sometimes made at planting to promote early growth and vigor. Tissue samples can be analyzed during the growing season to monitor the overall nutrient status of the soybeans. Timely management of weeds and insects is essential for profitable double crop soybean production.

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 alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequerrriy the application uniformity. For example, operating the- system with excessive pressure results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift, and' accelerates wear oTthe- sprinkier 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 unifor ,,,ity. For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to 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 or containers can be used to collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because they already have a graduated scale ,"rom 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 container& should be located randomly throughour the application area at several distances from sprinklers. For traveling guns, sprinklers should be located along a transec-t perpendicular to the dire ion of pull. Set out collection containers 25 feet apart along the transect on both sides of the gun cart. You should compute the average application rate for all nonuniformiry 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. 'Reprinted for Czrtfcation Training for Operations of Anima/ waste Management Systems Manual OPERATION & ATAIT4TENANCE PLAN Proper Loon liquid management should be a year-round priority.

This may be done by mowing stn Gvitrg, gra=Cr, chopping, or a combination of thse v ctices. This should be done az feast once a year and posefliy twice in years tha` weather conditions are favorable for heavy vegetative growdt. NOTE_ If vege--Hon is controlled by straying, the herbicide must not be allowed to eht= the lagoon war-- Sucn chemir i c could harm the ba==ia in the lagoon that are treatia the waste_ Maintenance ins dons or the entire Iagoon should be made during the initial fining of the7lagoon and atl�-t monthly and az=tc._;najorrainfali and sta�rn events.

Any of these feaaures could lead to erosion and weakcrting of the dam- If yourizocn has any of th= features, you should tali an appropriam expert familiar with design and constrtzcdon of w.-str lagoons. You may need to provide a tenmorary -fix if there is a threat of a waste dschage. Howeve., a permanent solution should be reviewed by the technical e-pe-t. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious undermi ng with .aotenually serious consequences and should not be conducted unless recommenced by an appropriate ty; -inical ezpert. T_ansfer Pumps —check- for proper ope'tion of: 1. recycling pumas 2_ irrigation pumps Check for ieass, loose fittings, and over411 puma one.'afion. An unusually loud or ceding noise, or a I=ze amount of vibzadon, may indicat- that the pump is in need or re_oair or realac..=ear- NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated fruently enough so that you. are not cornple'.jy "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform your -pumping system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low l--vel. This will allow some safety time should major repairs be required_ Having a nearly fall lagoon is not.the time to think about swimming, repairing , or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your,lagoon is full, your neighbors lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an inventory of spam parts or pumps_ Surface water diversion features are desgaed to carry all surface drainage waters (suet as zaair� runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets, and parlang lot runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste tr�nmi or storage structures_ The only water that should be taming from your -lagoon is that which comes from your -flushing (wzshing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon- directly. You should inspect your diversion system for the following: 1. adeauaty vegetation 2. diversion caoaciry .3. ridge bean height Idettined problems should be corre`ted promptly. It is advisable to inspect your sysr:m during or =medial-ly following a heavy zain. If t=hidcal assistance is needed to rdettmtine Droper solutions, consult with appropriate cxpe—rts- You should record the Ievel of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then record the level zain 4 to 6 hours a:,-tr the rain (assumes theme is no pumping). This wM give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall �tnount (you must also be rewording your rainraA for this to work). Knowing this should item in planning iaigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may have as inflow problem from a sun:�LP wares diversion or the:-- may be seepage into the lagoon from the surrounding land Iagoon- 0perabon Startup: 1. Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil surfaces to avoid erosion. 2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before waste loading bemns, tang care not to erode lining or. bank- Ames. 3.

When possible, bey loading new lagoons in the spring to maximizes bac=nal establishment (due to warmer weather). 5. It is reaommend--that a new lagoon be steed with sludge from a heaithy working swine lagoon in the amount of 0-25 percent of the full.lagoon iicuid volume. This seraiz should oc: our at lens: two weeks prior to the addition of wasrewatar. 6. Maintain a periodic check on the Iagoon liquid -pH. If the pH falls below 7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of I pound pe` 1000 cubic feet 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 w2rm season. Loading: The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a Iagoon, the better the lagoon will function. Flash systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times dailv are optim= for ==tment. Pit rechar?e systems, . which one or more buildings are ar is ed- a.ud recharged each day, also work well. Practice water conservarion---minimize building water usage and spillage from leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through proper and water conservation. Minimize feed wastage and =illage by keeping feeders adjusted.

When removing sludge, you musr also pay attention to the line: to prevent damage. Close ammrion by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner remains intact If you sea soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should stop the ac ivity 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. SIudge removed from the lagoon has a much higher -ohosphori:s and -heavy metal contest than liciuid_ Because of this it should probably be applied to land with Iow phosphorus and metal levels.as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of erosion. Note brat if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil -test phosphorus, it should be =lied 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 application of sludge will inc--..se the amount of odor at the waste application site Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which could inc:=se the concern of neighbors.

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 at less 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 result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. •PaQez 1 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.

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 925 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 4625 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 15.4166666667 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 37 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 255k 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 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

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. 1. 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 t-o 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. 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 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.

Page: 15 Sys -c-ru 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 in the design will alter 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 of the sprinkler nozzle, Clogging, of nozzles can result in pressure increase. Plugged intakes or crvsta!Iizatio:-, of mainlines will reduce operating pressure. Operating below design pressure greatly reduces tine coverage diameter and zpplicatson uniformity. For the above.reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to 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 appliLation 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 scate from which to read the application amount without having to perform additional calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets, jars, or anything with a uniform c-pvning and cross-section can be used providea the l-quid 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. Fc r traveling guns, sprinklers should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direction of pull. Set out collection containers 23 feet apart along the transect on both sides. of the gun cart. You should compute the average application rate for a!l nonunifo-mitt' of the application. On a windless day, variation between containers of ,more than 30 parcent is cause for concern;. Yo-a should con -,act, your irrigation dealer or technical specialist for assistance. =Rent nte� far tiP.! f.': JfiOR Training kC! Qperarf0^s o ,+,ilrrai Vl_ste {2fldPa.T.? li Syster±s Manua!

Nortli Carolina OPERATION & MA1N'lLNANCE PLAN Proper lagoon liquid management should be a year-round priority. It is especially important to manage levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and wet periods. .Maximum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the receiving Crop is dormant (such as wintertime for bermudagrass) or when there are extended rainy spells such as the thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means that at the first signs of plant growth in the later winter/early spring, irrigation according to a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the land is dry enough to receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet periods. In the late surnmer/early 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 maintain the lagoon dose to the minimum liquid level as long as the weather and waste utilization plan will allow it. Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before stare ng to irrigate does not leave room for storing excess water during extended wet periods. 'Overflow from the lagoon for any reason except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of state law and subject to penalty action. The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following: Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam. Fescue or common bermudagrass are the most common vegetative covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year, if needed, to maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fertilizer applied should be based on a sails 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 of 10-10-10, or equivalent. Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. 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. MUTE: It vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide r uist 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. acCurnulation of salts or minerals 4. overall condition of pipes lagoon surface --look for: t. undesirable vegetative growth 2. floating or lodged debris Embankment ---look for: I . 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 res::lt of wave action 5. rodent damage Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave a, -ion caused by strong winds. 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 sidewal1, baffles in the lagoon may be used to reduce the wave irnpacts. - Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam. If your lagoon has any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert fGrniliar 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 expen. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless recommended by an appropriate technical expert. Transfer Pumps --check for proper operation of: 7 . 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 need or repair or replacement. NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected arad operated frequently enough so that you are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform your 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 full lagoon is not the thine to think about switching, repairing, or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is full, your neighbor's lagoon is full 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 runoffs 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 (gashing) 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. ridz,? berm height 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 spitlage by keeping feeders adjusted. This reduce the amount of solids entering the lagoon Management: Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and the lull temporary storage level. Piace visible markers or stakes on the !agoon bank to show the minimum liquid level and the.maximurn liquid lever (Figure 2-1). Start irrigating at the earliest possible date 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 fail to provide maximum lagoon storage for the winter. The lagoon liquid level -should never be closer than i foot to the lowest point of the dam 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 18 inches underneath the liquid surface ar:d as tar away from the drainpipe inlets as possible. Prevent additions of bedding materials, 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 confinement houses or wherever they are installed. Maintain strict vegetaticrn, rodent, and varmint central near lagoon edges. Do not akvr trees or iarge bushes to grow or. lagoon dam or embankment. Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sli_dge storage capacity is full or before it fills SD percent of the permanent storage volume. If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a closure p.an to eliminate the possibility of a pollutant discharge. Sludge Removal: Rate ot" lagoon sludge builduP can he reruced by: proper lagoon sizing, mechanical solids separation of flushed waste, gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or minimizing feed wastage and spillage. 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 techniques. Hire a custom applicator. Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper -agitator impJIler pump through large -bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby crop!arid; and soil incorporate. Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or forageland; mix remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator; haul and spread onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate. Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or I orageland; dredge sludge from lagoon with dragline or sludge barge; berm an area beside lagoon to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back into lagoon; allow sludge to dewater; haul and spread with manure spreader onto cropland or forageland; 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 will be limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications 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 darnage. Close attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner remains intact. F you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should stop the activity immediately and riot resume until you are sure that the sludge can be removed without liner injury. If the litter is damaged it must be repaired as soon as possible. Sludge removed from the lagoon, has a much higher phosphorus and heavy meta! content than liquid, Because of this it should probably he applied to land with low phosphorus and metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated 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 rernoval of phosphorus. As with ether wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value. Tne appiicat on of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site. Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which r_ould increase the concern of neighbors. Possible Causes of lagoon Failure La&oon failures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from' the structure. Types of tailures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of the dam. Assuming proper design and ccnstructior., the owner has the responsibility For ensuring structure safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures include: Modification of the lagoon; structure ---an example is the placement of a pipe in the dam without proper design and construction. (Consu!, an expert in lagoon des18n before placing any pipes in dams.) Lagoon liquid levels —high levels are a safety risk. Failure -to inspect and maintain 'he dam. Excess surface xater flowing into t! e lagoon,. Liner integrity --protect from infer pipe scouring, damage during sludge removal, or rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater table. NOTE: If lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving water will soon cause gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly cause a large discharge of wastewater and possible dam failure.

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 at less 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 result in runoff to ..surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. 'Page: 1 • 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 214 .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.) 2500 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 4750 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 2500 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hags/year = 5750 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. `Page: 2 . �1 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN TABLE 1: ACRES OWNED BY PRODUCER TRACT FIELD SOIL TYPE & CLASS- CROP YIELD LES COMM N ** * LBS DETERMINING PHASE CODE AW N PER ACRES AW N PER AC AC USED ----- or ------ APPLY RESID.

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 925 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 4625 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 15.4166666667 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 37 acres of land_ Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25o 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 1Page: 6 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 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 Field Soil Type Crop Application Rate (in/hr) Applic.

In many situations, the application amount shown cann be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions. Your facility is designed for 180.00 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6.00 months. In no instance 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 waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to 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. 5 `Page: 7 ro El � L Cy 10 v d � �d-7 j 6 1- u �d nJ O d d p d1 ti ao tn a 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 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 reasona4le 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. 5. 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. 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 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. 15. 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 • 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 shou'1d 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.
