Norwood Street Wallace, NC TELEPHONE: (910) 285 3600 TYPE OPERATION: wean - feeder NUMBER OF ANIMALS: 2,600 (Design Capacity) The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prio ..toiftu)the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. Ilft SEp 0 2 2009 The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on Irjftfor this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. RECEIVED 1 DENR 1 DWQ AQUIFFR-PROTFd'.

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 property 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). 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. B 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. D- 9 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 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 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.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, Ieaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year.. With specialprecautions, waste may be applied to Iand eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. r+ �:^.22'..^;':r�,r,'k'^^^?�:.^.25:; ,ti� w^L'�::5'v's•c;2'.^.'y:R,.nr�r�..r�n2r��i �'CI?a��I���� � ••^,�:�.�l:�..,,.,..:.:. e........A:.... r..r....r. ��.;..�.,.

Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $1.0,000 per day by the Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement (sample enclosed) with a1andowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 (Interim) w Riparian Forest Buffers] 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing. b. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in the Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.) ;xw REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application.. S. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered. 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 on bare soil. 11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips) 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of- ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and only then at agronomic rates provided the application causes no runoff or drift from the site. 6 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard. 18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 20. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. :...�.v..�.�.^.w�...,,�.,..�.w.�...�..K n..��.Y....•..��vr.�.�A..::�.�.y...,���...w.��.wmw...�v.r..V...�..�......V.�...w..�.,.��..m�...�:x.,:.��.:..:.µ..v��..:wK�..:v WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN AGREEMENT Name of Farm: f; J\-A 5urro,,j S # LI Owner/Manager Agreement I (we) understand and will follow and implement the specification and the operation and maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above.

Only the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application. Any acreage within the plan that can not be reached by waste application equipment can not be used as part of your plan. An evaluation by Stoney Mathis on 10/25/00 was made to review the actual number of acres at your facility that receive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of the following two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X". Category 1: The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Stoney Mathis the necessary information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre determination. Please submit this information to Stoney Mathis, at 127 Cardinal Drive Extension, Wilmington, NC 28405-3845, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you have any questions please contact Stoney Mathis at (910) 395-3900.

Therefore, some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan. In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this designation, or a Professional Engineer. All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be returned to DWQ within the next 180 days. If the needed modifications are not made and if the form is not returned within the required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation, and/or injunctive relief. Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan must be kept at your facility.

I have completed a determination for Old Camps Farm — Sites 1,2,3, and 5, and have sent the appropriate documentation to Sonya Avant. In regards to Old Camps Farm — Site 4, I would ask that you review the enclosed map. You will see that on this map prepared by Professional Surveyor Brent Whitfield, that the acreage in field 1 at this site is 7.1 acres. The current waste utilization plan for this facility lists the acreage as 5.78 acres, or 75% of the total land area in the field. I have prepared a new plan for the facility which lists the acreage as 4.97 acres, or 70% of the total field acres. I have included the new plan as well for your review. I believe that this change will satisfy the requirements of wetted acres as described by the SB 1217 Committee.

Norwood Street Wallace, NC TELEPHONE: (910) 285 3600 TYPE OPERATION: wean - feeder NUMBER OF ANIMALS: 2,600 (Design Capacity) The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization, plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and, to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 21-1.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 2 There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing 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. 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 40 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strip). 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. 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. Page 5 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 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 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 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 courses 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. Page 6 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 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 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 pre -plant with no further applications 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 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 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.

Wilmington, NC 28405-3845 Mr. Mathis, V-4) On February 5, 2001 a Ietters'were sent to Old Camps Farm — Site 4, and Old Camps Farm — Sites 1,2,3, and 5, informing them of their status with regards to wetted acres. I have completed a determination for Old Camps Farm — Sites 1,2,3, and 5, and have sent the appropriate documentation to Sonya Avant. In regards to OId Camps Farm — Site 4, I would ask that you review the enclosed map. You will see that on this map prepared by Professional Surveyor Brent Whitfield, that the acreage in field 1 at this site is 7.1 acres. The current waste utilization plan for this facility lists the acreage as 5.78 acres, or 75% of the total land area in the field. I have prepared a new plan for the facility which lists the acreage as 4.97 acres, or 70% of the total field acres. I have included the new plan as well for your review. I believe that this change will satisfy the requirements of wetted acres as described by the SB 1217 Committee. If there are any further questions or concerns with regards to this farm, please call me at (910) 289 6439 ext. 4556. Sincere , aig esterbeek urph Farms 3/15/01 enc. 4 w PRODUCER: Old Camp 4 LOCATION: 317 N. Norwood Street Wallace, NC TELEPHONE: (910) 285 3600 TYPE OPERATION: wean - feeder NUMBER OF ANIMALS: 2,600 (Design Capacity) The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 21-1.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 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. 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. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year.

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

Guide Std. 633) 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 and surface application: Table 1: ACRES OWNED BY PRODUCER Tract Field Soil Crop . Lbs. N Acres ' Lbs.

If nutrients from other sources such as commercial fertilizer are applied, they must be accounted for. N must be based on realistic yield expectation. NOTE. The applicator is cautioned that P and K maybe over applied while meeting the N requirements. Beginning in 1996 the Coastal Zone Management Act will require farmers in some eastern counties of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses Nitrogen. 2 Table 2: ACRES WITH AGREEMENT OR LONG TERM LEASE (Agreement with adjacent landowner must be attached) (Required only if operator does not own adequate land [see Required Specification 2]) Tract Field .

Your facility is designed for 110 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every� MONTHS. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation *,5e,- d ; h1-13 . Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or So1f and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste, analysis report for assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. 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. Illegal discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide MRCS with a copy of a written agreement (sample enclosed) with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method ofutilization, or available land_ 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 (Interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers.] 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disldng after waste application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in the Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.) REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and is a method which does not cause drift from the site'during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application.. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered. 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 sods 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 on bare soil. 11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips) 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of- ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and only then at agronomic rates provided the application causes no runoff or drift from the site. \"�acz ixa�u EA M 4zasao�aa�ia�ai REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard. 18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation wM be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erasion. 20. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, Ieaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. rr \�,' :; ,.3y,,J�iYA` "A- W. :• •5y A ' � \ .. •, .fit \ W WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN AGREEMENT Name of Farm: ff: c�%gJ &rro,-JS 4_H-_ - _ Owner/Manager Agreement I (we) understand and will follow and implement the specification and the operation and maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above.

By ti - 1-5(o_ (month/day/year) the producer should have an irrigation specialist, possibly the dealer where the system was purchased, prepare an operation and maintenance plan for the irrigation system so that the producer knows how to operate the equipment to meet the non -discharge requirements. The waste management plan for this operation is based on yields higher than what is now recommended by MRCS; however, these yields are obtainable under high levels of • management and the farmer has supporting documentation to justify higher nitrogen application rates. ✓ All of the permanent vegetation required by the waste management plan has not been established as of the date of this certification. The producer agrees to establish the vegetation by ' (month/day/year), and to provide a temporary small grain crop in case some pumping is required•prior to the establishment of the permanent vegetation.

The time required for the planned fluid level (permanent and "temporary storage) to be reached may vary due to site �u��di(;iui,�, 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 (c) excess rainfall after evaporation. Also included is storage for the 255 year — 24 hour storm for the location. The volume of waste generated from 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 an annual pumping cycle, but- this storage volume must always be availaule. A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from building (s), If the outlet pipe is not installed at the elevation to begin pUmping, a permanent marker must be installed at this elevation to indicate when ps,tmping should begin. An elevation must be established to stop pumping to mainte.ir, lagoon treatment dEptn. ... »..i�� �.. _ ... !' � �i- :. i `': '�, ed at all '�% i. 1 Ti� _cw W _il v��=1_ vwG elevations for, operating convenience as site =and it ions permit, such as weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste witi:out rL.inoff or, leac,")ing. 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 talker, 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. Fire —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 waste utilization plan shall be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment) before .land application. 3. Begin temporary storage pump —out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches the elevation 103.6 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump — out when the fluid level reaches elevation 101.8 . This temporary storage, less cS yr— 24 hr storm, contains 32882 cubic feat or 245961 gallons. SHEET 2 OF S 4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.3 inch per hour. Refer to the waste utilization plan for further details. S. 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 establish in vegetation. 7. All surface ruv off is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable outlets. B. 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. Do not pump within 200 feet of a residence or within 100 feet of a well. Waste shall be applied iri a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 1�. The Clean Water, Act of :1,77 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States.

OPERATION & ATAJNTENANCE PLAN Proper lagoon licuid mana emit s:^.ouid be a year-round priority. It is especiauy important to u,zszge levels so Ina[ you do not have problems during extended rainy and wet pe.: iods. Maxim= storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the- nxziving is dormant (such as wing-ti.me for bermnudagz-ass) or when there are ex=ded rainy sveJ' mm s such as the thutd--=rm season in the suertime.. This m= .that at the r¢st signs of plant growth in the larer winter/eariy spring, irrigatiorr ac=dingto a fawn waste mannement plan should be done whenever the land is dry enough to receive lagoog livid. This will ake swrage spa= available in the lagoon for f m= wet periods. In the laze summer/eariy :ill the lagoon should be pumped down to the low maw (see Figure 2-l) to allow for winter storage- Every effort should be made to mab=in the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as -long as the weather and waste tit Z2riozr Platt will. allow it Waiting until the lagoon has reached its ma.xirnunz storage czoacity before starting to inzgam does not leave room for stor�g excess water during e-tended wet periods. Overflow from the Iagoon for any reason except a -year, 2�-dour storm, is a vioIad= or state law and subject to penalty anion. The routine rta=ate nance of a lagoon ;evolves the following: -M-=.ntenancr of z vezemdve cover for the darm,. i w74sv or common b=,mudagrass are the most common vegetative covers. The vegemdon should be fe--d� each year, if•needed, to mr..zritain a vigorous stand- The amount of few-titiz=: as hed should be base on a soils test. but in the event that it is nor_macacal to obtain a soli test each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas saou.id be fendiized With 800 pounds ge: acre of I0-10-10, or ecuivalent. Prz:sh and trews on the emba.riknent must be controlled. This may be done by mowing, soraving, grazing, chopping, or a combination of z� these pctices. 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 vegemdon is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to eat= the lagoon ,x-a"Such chemicals could harrmz the bacteria in the lagoon that are trmfmg the waste. Maiuteaance i==dons of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial Riling. of. the: Lagoon and at least monthly and aft..., maior rainf and stone events. Items: to be- checked should include, as a, minimum, the following - Waste inlet Pines, Recycling Pitor..s, and Overflow Pipes —look for. L separation of joints Z. racks or brml= J. accumulation of salts or minerals. 4. overall condition of pines Lagoon surface —look for: 1. undesirable vegetative growth 2. floating or lodgeri debris .Embankment —look For. 1. settlenient, czackdng, or "jug" holes ? side slope stability —slumps or bulges 3. wet or damp areas on the back slope Y. erosion due to la --I- of vegetation or as a result of wave action 5. rodent damage Larger lagoons may be subject to lin- damage due to wave- action caused by strong . winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakmiing the lagoon dam., A good stand of vegetation will reduct the potential. damage caused by wave action- If wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffles irr the -lagoon- may be used to reduce the wave impacts. Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakewting of the dam' If your lagoon has any of these features, you should call an appropriaze ezperr familiar with design and construction of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary -fix if there is a threat of a waste discharge. However, a p4-n=ent solution should be reviewed by the technical exzverf. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious under aging with notenrially serious cons auences and should not be conducted unless. recommended by an appropriate =finical expert. T_ans>=er Pumps —check for proper o_veration of: 1. recycling pumps 2. =Cration pumps Check for leaks, loose fitdngs, and ove.-all pump ope.-ation. 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: Puaming systems should be inspected and 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 well allow some safety time should major repairs be required. Having anearly full lagoon is not the time to think about switching, repairing , or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your -lagoon is full, yournei.gabor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining -an inventory of spars parts or pumps. Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets, and parldng lot runoff") away from your lagoon and outer waste treatment or storage s=ctures_ The only water that should be coming from your -lagoon is that which comes from your -flushing (washing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon- directly. You should inspect your diversion system for the following: i. adequate -vegetation 2. diversion capacity I ridge berm height Identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your sv=M during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to determine propel solutions, consult with appropriate experts. You should record the level -of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then record the level again 4 to 6 hours a'tnr the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This wM eve you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a =min rainfall amount (you 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 surfaca- water diversion or there may be seepage into the lagoon from the surrounding land. Lagoon Operation Startup: I. Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil surfaces to avoid erosion. '?. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before waste loading bedns, tang care not to erode lining or bank; slopes. I Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible ni-oe extender on the end of the pipe to discharge near the bottom of the fagoon 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 establishmenr (due to warmer weather). - 5. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy working swine Iagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full.lagoon iicuid volume. 'This seeding should occour at least two weeks priorro the adaition of wastewater. 6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below 7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of I pound per 1000 cubic 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 recopmeaded if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm season. Loading: The more freouently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the better the lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the Iagoon several times daily are optimum for trmtment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained - and recharged each day, also work well. Practice water conservation —minimize building water usage and spillage from leaking wazerers, broken pipes and washdown through proper maintenanc: and water conservanon. Mini=e feedwa ge and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This will, reduce the amount of solids entering. the lagoon Managgeme—Et Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and the full temporary storage level. Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the minimum liquid Ievel and the maximum liquid lever (Figure 2-1). Start irrigating at the eariiest possible date in the: spring based on nutrient reouirements and soil moisture so that'temporary storage will be maximized for the summer thunderstozm season. Similarly, kragate in the late summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon storage for the winter. The lagoon liouid level should never be closer than 1 foot to the lower point of the dam or e-nba_nkmem. Do not pump the lagoon Hauid level lower that the permanent stora_¢e level urLss you are removing sludge. Llocate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid su,.-ace and as far away i�om the drainpipe inlets as possible. Prevent additions of beddl-ig materials, long-stemmed forage or•vegemdon, molded feed, plastic singes, or other foreign mate —dais into the lagoon_ Frequently remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or wherever they are installed. Maintain strict vegetation, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges. Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embankmart Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is full or before it fills 50 percent of the permanent storage volume. If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility of a pollutant discharge. Sludge Removal: Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by: proper lagoon sign„ mechanical solids separation of flushed waste, grviry settling of rlushad wash solids in an appropriately designed basin, or minimizing fed was -age; and spillage. Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored Iona term will: have more nutrients, have more odor, and require more land to properly use the nutrients. Removal t_—hn aues: Hire a custom applicator. Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper -agitator impeller pump through large -bore sprints- er irrigation system onto nearby cropland; and soil incorporate. Dewater the uoveY oart of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or fora eland; mix renaming sludge; punp into liquid sludge applicator, haul and spread onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate. Dewater the uuoer part of lagoon by imiaarion onto nearby crooland or forageland; area'--- sludge from lagoon with drzine or sludgebarge: 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 crooland or forazeland; and soil incoraorate. Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analvzed 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 anplicarions to that field and crop requiremenL Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3. When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage. Close attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner remains intact If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can be removed without liner injury. if the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as possible. Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and.heavy metal content than liquid. Bemuse of this it should probably be anpiied 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 atmlied to fields with very high soil -test phosphores, it: should be =plied 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 incr=se the amount of odor at the waste application site. Extra pse=don should be used to observe the wind direcrion and other conditions which could in==se the concern of neighbors. Passible Causes of Lagoon Failure Lagoon i27ures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure. 'Does of failures include lealmae through the bottom or sides, ovmmopping, and breach of the darn. Asstmvng proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for ensuring structure safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures include: Modification of the lagoon strucam--an example is the placement of a. Dive in the daze without proper design and construction. (Consult. an erDert is lagoon design before placing any pipes in darns.) _ Lagoon liquid levels —high levels.are a safety risk. Failure to inspect and maintain the dam_ Excess surface waxer flowing into the lagoon. Liner integrity —protect from Inlet -pipe scouring, damage during- sludge removal, or rupture From lowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater table. NOTE: Magoon water is allowed to overtop the slam, the moving water -will soon cause gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly. cause a large discharge of wastewa= and possible dam failure.

Discharge rates and application rates change over rime 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 subsequently the application uniformity. For example, operating the. system with excessive pressure results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear af-the, sprinkler nozzle. Clogging of nozzles can result- in pressure increase. Plugged` intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure.. Operating below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application uniformity. For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to ensure proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at several locations in the application area. Any number of containers can be used to collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because they already have a graduated scale from which to read the application amount withour having to perform additional calculations However, pans, plastic buckets, jars, or anything with a uniform opening and cross-section can be used. provided the liquid collected can be easily transferred to a scaled container for measuring. For stationary sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly throughoc.rr the application area at several distances from sprinklers. For traveling guns, sprinklers should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direction of pull. Set our collection containers 25 feet apart- along the transect on both sides of the gun cart You should compute the average application rate for all nonuniformity of the application. On a windless- day, variation between containers of more than 30 percent is cause for concern. You should contact your irrigation dealer or technical specialist- for assistance.
