RYE's of the loll, and the PAN required to effrdently grow crops in the fields where waste is
applied. This Nutrient Management Plan uses nitrogen as the limiting rwtrient. Waste should be
analyzed before each applic adon cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant

The waste from this swine production facility must be land applied at specified rates tc to prevent
pollution of the water. These rates are based on loll types of the land to be irrigated, #ire
RYE's of the soli, and the RAN required to efficiently grow galas in the fields where waste is
applied. This Nutrient Management Plan uses nftrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be
analyzed bOwe each application cycle. Annual soli tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant
nutrient requirements can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several fatws am important in irnplenxmWV this plan in order to ma)amize the fertiilbw value of
the waste and to ensure that it Is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Factors included are:
a. Always apply waste based on crop creeds and the nubient content of the waste.
b. Do not over apply nitrogen.
c, Soil types are important because of different infiltratlon rates, leaching potentials. cation exchange
capacities, and wailer holding capacities.
d. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when It is raining, or when the ground is frozen either of
which could lead to surfaces runoff.
e. Consider wind conditions to avoid drift and down wind odor Probh ms.
f. Waste can only be applied to actively growing crops or not more than 30 days prior to planting
a crop or to forages breafcing dormancy.
This plan is based on waste befog applied using brigatfort. if the application method is changed, this
plan will have to be revised bemuse n uMent cordent varies depe ntling on haw it Is applied.
The estimated acres needed to apply the waste as described above is based on average analyses
for this type faa'ihy. Actual acreage moments should be based on the waste analysis report
from your facility. This nutrient marry plan, if followed, meets the requirements for
compliance with 15A NCAC 21-1,0217 as adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

The waste from this swine production facility must be land applied at specified rates tc to prevent
pollution of the water. These rates are based on soil types ofthe land to be irrigated, the
RYE's of the soil, and the PAN required to efficiently grow crops in the fields where waste is
applied. This Nutrient Management 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
nutrient requirements can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing this plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of
the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Factors included are:
a. Always apply waste based on crop needs and the nutrient content of the waste.
b. Do not over apply nitrogen.
c. Soil types are important because of different infittration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange
capacities, and water holding capacities.
d. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the ground is frozen either of
which could lead to surface runoff.
e. Consider wind conditions to avoid drift and down wind odor problems.
f. Waste can only be applied to actively growing craps or not more than 30 days prior to planting
a crop or to forages breaking dormancy.
This plan is based on waste being applied using irrigation. If the application method is changed, this
plan will have to be revised because nutrient content varies depending on how it is applied.
The estimated acres needed to apply the waste as described above is teased on average analyses
for this type facility. Actual acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report
from your facility. This nutrient management plan, if followed, meets the requirements for
compliance with 15A NCAC 21-1.0217 as adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

NOTE: The acres listed in Tame 2 were determined by (please marls appropriate box) one of the
following methods: [ ] using 70% of available acreage, or [ ] using measurements and
calculations found on the irrigation design worksheet. This accounts for required buffers, filter strips
along ditches. add areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving full application
rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total acres In the field are most likely more than tWse
shown in table 2.
The nitrogen balance shown in table 2 should be equal to of less than 0 to fully utilize the nutrients
produced by the swine production on this farm. To produce crops at the RYEs shown may
require the use of commercial fertilizer to balance fertilization rates in crop rotations. This farm is
producing 9,M.00 lbs. of nitrogen per year in the wastewater and 1,555.20 lbs.
of nitrogen accumulates annually as sludge. To land apply the liquid portion in an acceptable
manner requires the irrigation system to pump and spread 4,004,640 total gallons
annually. This involves spreading 147.48 aclintyr ever the farms 59.77
total acres, or an average of 2.47 inches is to be applied to each acre irrigated.

NOTES 4N TAKE 3: This table is a guide onty and Is for optimum conditions. The total amount of N
allowed for the crop may be applied anytime within the application window shown as long as the PAN
Is not exceeded. Weather conditions or other factors may necessitate the waste applicator under
or over applying during any given month within the application window.
Summary and recommendations
1. Total PAN produced per year (based on land application with irrigation) that must be
accounted for in this cropping system equals: 9,936.00 "ear.
2. Total PAN produced per year as SLUDGE and that must be periodically land
applied (based on application with irrigation) = 1,555.20 lbs/year.
3. The production totals in 1 and 2 above are based on averages and this farms actual land
requirements should be based on waste analysis, reports.
4. Totals gallons of waste produced = 4,004,640.00 gallonslyear for a
tow of 147.48 acre -inches per year. This requires the Correct equipment and that
It be applied in a timely manner.

The nitrogen balance shown in table 2 should be equal to or lass than 0 to fully Wize the nirtrients
produced by the swine production on this farm. To produce crops at the RYE's shown may
require the use of commercial fertilizer to balance fertHization rates in crop rotations. This farm is
producing 9,936.00 lbs. of nitrogen per year in the waste water and 1,555.20 lbs.
of nitrogen accumulates annually as stodge. To land apply the liquid portion in an acceptable
manner requires the irrigation system to pump and spread 4,004,640 total gallons
annually. This involves spreading 147.48 ac/inlyr over the farms 59.77
total acres, or an average of 2.47 Inches is to be applied to each acre irrigated.

NOTES ON TABLE 3: This table is a guide only and Is for optimum conditions. The
total amount of N
allowed for the crap may be applied anytime within the application window shown as long as the PAN
Is not exceeded. Weather conditions or other
factors may necessitate the waste applicator under
or over applying during any given month within
the application window.
Summary and recommendations
1. Total PAN produced per year (based on land application with irrigation) that must be
accounted for in this cropping system equals: 9,936,00 bs/year.
2. Total PAN produced per year as SLUDGE and than must be periodically land
applied (based on application with irrigation) = 1,555.20 Ibsiyear.
3. The production tot8is in 1 and 2 above are based on averages and this farms actual land
requirements should be based on waste analysis reports.
4. Totals gallons of waste produced = 4,004,640.00 gaflonstyear for a
total of 147.48 acre -inches per year. This requires the correct equipment and that
it be applied in a timely manner.

Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study
Commission on Agricultural Waste, enacted by the 1996 North Carolina General Assembly,
requires a certified operator for each animal waste management system that serves 250 or more
swine by January 1, 1997. The owner of each animal waste management system must submit a
designation form to the Technical Assistance and Certification Group which designates an
Operator in Charge and is countersigned by the certified operator. The enclosed form must be
submitted by January 1, 1997 for all facilities in operation as of that date. Failure to designate a
certified operator for your animal waste management system is a violation of 15A NCAC 2H
A224 and may result in the assessment of a civil penalty.
If you have questions concerning operator training or examinations for certification, please
contact your local North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service agent or our office.
Examinations have been offered on an on -going basis in many counties throughout the state for
the past several months and will continue to be offered through December 31, 1996.
Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions concerning this requirement please
