The CLEANEAsr Program provides confidential, no -
cost technical support to owners and operators of
beef, dairy, swine, and poultry operations located
in the Eastern United States to help them identify
and implement farm management practices that
protect the environment. Owners/operators who
apply and are selected by the program receive on -site
support services from a qualified Technical Assistance
Professional (TAP).
Program Services
The technical services offered by the CLEANEAsT
Program are:
• Environmental Assessment (EA). The TAP conducts
a confidential on -site environmental review of the
owner/operator's livestock or poultry operation and
prepares recommendations that can be implemented
to address any identified environmental issues.
• Existing Nutrient Management Plan (NMP) Review
and Update. The TAP reviews the owner/operator's
existing NMP, then identifies and prepares necessary
NMP documentation to update the plan for the current
livestock or poultry operation.
• New NMP Development. The TAP collects the needed
information and performs the required analyses to
prepare an NMP for implementation at the owner/
operator's livestock or poultry operation.
Program Administration
The CLEANEAsT Program is developed and
administered jointly by RTI International (RTI) and
North Carolina State University (NCSU). Funding
support for the program is provided under a
cooperative agreement with the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency. TAPS are independent
subcontractors to RTI with certifications and expertise
specific to the states where they are assigned to work
for the CLEANEAsT Program.
Benefits to Program Participants
• Provide owner/operator with an objective, confidential
review of site operations, identify any environmental
issues and suggest potential remedies.
• Determine if a livestock or poultry operation is
in an impaired watershed and whether manure
management practices can be implemented to
contribute to improving water quality.
• Help owner/operator formulate long-term nutrient
management strategies.
• Improve manure management efficiency.
Costs to Program Participants
The services of the TAP are provided at no cost to
the owner/operator. The owner/operator fills out an
operation profile for the TAP and meets with the TAP at
the owner/operator's site.
Participant Eligibility
Owners/operators of livestock and poultry operations
located in any of the 27 eastern states shown in the
map below are eligible to apply for technical services
from the CLEANEAsr Program.
How the Program Works
1.Owner/operator applies for program services and is
selected.
2. Qualified TAP is assigned to complete requested
service for livestock or poultry operation.
3. TAP contacts owner/operator and schedules date for
on -site visit.
4. TAP conducts site visit to meet with owner/operator
to collect information about the site, livestock,
poultry and crop operations.
5. TAP uses collected information to perform site -
specific calculations and prepare documentation for
requested service.
6. Owner/operator receives final EA report, NMP
amendment, or new NMP as appropriate for the
requested service.

Participant Selection
Due to current funding levels for the CLEANEAsT
Program, not all eligible applicants to the program
may be selected to receive technical services. A primary
objective of the CLEANEAsT Program is to improve
environmental quality in impaired watersheds in the
Eastern United States. Selection of the owner/operator
participants receiving technical services maybe
prioritized based on site location with respect to impaired
surface waters and other factors. Every effort will be made
to ensure equitable selection of participants across animal
types, farm sizes, and geographic regions.
Program Confidentiality
Confidentiality of non-public information and findings
for each individual livestock or poultry operation will
be maintained by the assigned TAP and the CLEANEAST
Program administrators. Distribution of the final EA
report, NMP amendment, or new NMP for an individual
operation to other parties is at the sole discretion and
approval of the owner/operator.
More Information
To learn more about the CLEANEAST Program including
the program services, how eligible owners/operators
apply to participate in the program, and the qualifications
of RTI, NCSU, and the TAPS, visit the CLEANEAsT Program

Dear G Rouse Ivey:
In accordance with your application received on 15-Dec-06, we are hereby forwarding to you this
Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to G Rouse Ivey, authorizing the operation of the subject animal
waste management system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
and land application of animal waste as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management
Plan (CAWMP) for the Mike Hill Farm, located in Duplin County, with an animal capacity of no greater
than the following swine annual averages:
Wean to Finish: 0 Feeder to Finish: 3520 Boar/Stud: 0
Wean to Feeder: 0 Farrow to Wean: 0 Gilts: 0
Farrow to Finish: 0 Farrow to Feeder: 0
If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows.
Where boars are unneccessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows
may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2009 and replaces the NPDES
COC issued to this facility with an expiration date of July 1, 2007. You are required to continue
conducting annual surveys of sludge accumulation in all lagoons at your facility; the one-year extension
in Condition III.19 does not apply.
Pursuant to this COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the
conditions and limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An
adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information
must be established for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design
capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a
modification to the CAWMP and this COC 'and must be completed prior to actual increase in either
wastewater flow or number of animals.

documentation to the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to restocking
of the facility.
Per 15A NCAC 02T .0111(c) a compliance boundary is provided for the facility and no new water supply
wells shall be constructed within the compliance boundary. Per NRCS standards a 100-foot separation
shall be maintained between water supply wells and any lagoon, storage pond, or any wetted area of a
spray field.
Per 15A NCAC 02T .1306, any containment, basin, such as a lagoon or waste storage structure, shall
continue to be subject to the conditions and requirements of the facility's permit until closed to MRCS
standards and the permit is rescinded by the Division.
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the General Permit
or the CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance with NCGS 143-
215.6A through 143-215.6C including civil penalties, criminal penalties, and injunctive relief.

Application Method: Irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface water 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:
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 DWO regulations.
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
diskinfl will conserve nutrients and reduce odor prnhlems.
1 of 8

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. 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.

This plan does not include commercial fertilizer. The farm should produce adequate plant
available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above,
The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements.
In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen.
In interplanted fields ( i e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermuda), forage must be removed
through grazing, hay; and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they
reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a
height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care
should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definitely interfere
with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen
being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is
the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to
consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early. October. Drilling is
recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of
about two inches before drilling for best results.

Acres shown in the preceding table 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.

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 1267,2 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year will accumulate in the lagoon
sludge based on the rates of accumulation listed above.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 6336 pounds of plant
available nitrogen to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermuda grass hayland at the
rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 21 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge
to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 50.688 acres of land. Please note that these
are only estimates of the PAN produced and the land required to utilize that PAN. Actual values
may only be determined by sampling the sludge for plant available nitrogen content prior to application
Actual utilization rates will vary with soil type, crop, and realistic yield expectations for the specific
application fields designated for sludge application at time of removal.
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 pon&ng 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 property
irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
'This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount
of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations, the application
amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions.
Your facility is designed for >180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 6 months, In no instance should the volume of the
waste 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 the tables. Failure to apply
the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
rI
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 prior to applying the waste.

s; NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
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.
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 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 Utilization Plan
when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of
application, recievinq 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).
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 land application field.
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).
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 and flies.
Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.

NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
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 Nutrients from waste 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 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.
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 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,
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 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 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
nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients,
resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in
the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals
approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and maintained for optimum crop
production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years.
Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years.
Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for a minimum of five
years.
23 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

--� Subject: Notification for Phosphorus Loss Assessment
Mike Hill Farm
Permit Number NCA231833
Facility 31-833
Duplin County
Dear G. Rouse Ivey,
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 NCA231833 Condition I.6, your facility must now
conduct a Phosphorus Loss Assessment. 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.
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."
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
NOn` Carolina .

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.
From the date of receipt of this letter, a period of 180 days is provided to perform PLAT and return the
certification form to DWQ. Only a technical specialist who has received specific training may perform
PLAT. You are encouraged to contact a technical specialist now to run PLAT on your farm. Your local
Soil and Water Conservation District may be able to provide assistance. This information on the attached
form(s) must.be submitted within 180 days of receipt of this letter to:

NPDES permitted farms will need to have implemented a nutrient managenkh't,plp 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.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statue or permitting requirement.

Sludge Volume Worksheet
The average thickness of the sludge layer is determined from the Lagoon Sludge Survey Form. The dimensions
of the lagoon and the side slope are needed for calculations. If the lagoon is a standard geometric shape, the
volume of sludge in the lagoon can then be estimated by using standard equations. For rectangular lagoons and
constant side slope, calculate length and width at midpoint of sludge layer, and multiply by sludge layer thickness
to calculate sludge volume. If the lagoon is an irregular shape, the sludge volume can be estimated by using the
total surface area in square feet and taking the square root to obtain the dimensions for a square lagoon, and then
use the same procedure as listed below.

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface water 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:
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.
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.
1 of 8

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. 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,

This plan does not include commercial fertilizer. The farm should produce adequate plant
available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above.
The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements.
In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen.
In interplanted fields ( i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermuda), forage must be removed
through grazing, hay, and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they
reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a
height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care
should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definateiy interfere
with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen
being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is
the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to
consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is
recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of
about two inches before drilling for best results.

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 1267.2 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year will accumulate in the lagoon
sludge based on the rates of accumulation listed above.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 6336 pounds of plant
available nitrogen to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermuda grass hayland at the
rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 21 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge
to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 50.688 acres of land. Please note that these
are only estimates of the PAN produced and the land required to utilize that PAN. Actual values
may only be determined by sampling the sludge for plant available nitrogen content prior to application
Actual utilization rates will vary with soil type, crop, and realistic yield expectations for the specific
application fields designated for sludge application at time of removal.
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 the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
'This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount
of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations, the application
amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions.
Your facility is designed for >180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of the
waste 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 the tables. Failure to apply
the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in
determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste.

Additional Comments:
Producer will follow a cotton/wheattsoybeanlsmail grain rotation on the row
crop land. Due to the high PAN deficit of over 4000 lbs., producer may
rotate in 15 acres of tobacco on a periodic basis without negatively
impacting the overall farm deficit.
Note that residual from soybeans was deducted from the overseeded
small grain cover in year 2.

NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
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 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 Utilization Plan
when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of
application, recieving 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, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
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 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).
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 and flies.
8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.

NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
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 Nutrients from waste 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 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.
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 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.
16 Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall
not be discharged into the animal waste management system.

NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetal;ion 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 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
nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients,
resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in
the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals
approach excessive levels, pH shall be adjusted and maintained for optimum crop
production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years.
Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years.
Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for a minimum of five
years.
23 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

perennial streams and surface waters per NC Statutes.

Sheet6
Narrative of Irrigation System Operation
This design is for an add -on to an existing irrigation system for this farm. Hydrants 1-11 are existing
hydrants installed at the time of farm construction. Hydrants 12-17, owned by the producer are being
added, and, therefore, acres are determined based on effective wetted acreage criteria. SB515 setback
criteria have been applied to the design area for the new pulls.
Producer is familiar with start-up, maintenance, and winterization procedures for the equipment being
used.

General installation
Recommendations:
FOR GASKET PIPE
Installation
Excavation, Laying, Testing, and Back -
filling Instructions are usually provided
by the Engineer ill charge of the project.
Reference may also be made to Ameri-
can Society for Testing and Materials
Standard, ASTM D-2774 'Recommended
Practice for Underground Installation of
Thermoplastic Pressure Piping."
Excavation
1. The trench bottom shall be stable,
continuous, relatively smooth, and free
of rocks or other objects detrimental to
the pipe. It shall provide continuous
support for the pipe, and bell holes shall
be provided for the bell and spigot Joints,
valves, and other system components
that might act as a fulcrum. When made
through a rock cut, at least 4" of com-
pacted satisfactory bedding material
shall be provided.
2. The trench depth shall place the pipe-
line at least 6" below the lowest recorded
frost depth, and shall place the pipeline
depth at least ay" below grade.
3. The trench width at the top of the pipe
shall be as narrow as practical to allow
adequate room for joining the pipe and
to allow proper compaction of the sidefill.
ekie
4. Pipelines shall be cased, bridged, or
otherwise protected at locations where
they will be subject to heavy surface
loads due to shallow burial. Casing shall
also be used in spanning creeks and
gullies, extending 8 ft. on either side of
the creek or gully,
Jointing
1. The pipe shall be jointed in the trench,
or above ground, In accordance with the
Jointing Instructions.
2. It is Important that the gasket be clean
and praperlysealed, the spigot end well
lubricated, and the bell and spigot ends
aligned correctly in both planes.
3. It Jointing Is done above ground, care
should be taken when lowering pipe into
the trench that the depth of the Joint entry
remains correct. Check that the depth
of entry mark on the spigot ends Is flush
with the face of the bell. Jointing of 6"
and large pipe Is usuallydone In the trench.
4. AT NO TIME should a back -hoe or
similar device be used to assemble pipe.
Thrust Blocking
As with other push -fit rubber gasketed
Joints, the pipe will not take and thrust
without restraints. Thrust blocks are
usually required at dead ends and
wherever the line changes direction of
30 degrees or more.
1. Thrust blocks shall be placed so that
the bearing surface Is In direct line with
the major force created by the pipe or
fitting. Concrete having a compressive
strength of 2000 psi is the recommended
blocking material, and may be poured
between the simplest of forms and the
undisturbed earth bearing surfaces.
2. Thrust blocking size maybe calculated
as follows:
a) Muftiplythe pressure level desired
for testing by the value shown in the
table for thrust on fillings:

c) Divide the total thrust on the fitting
jstep a) by the bearing strength of
the soil (step b). The result is the
square feet of area needed on the
face of the thrust block
d) Thrust blocks should haunch the
Pipe or fitting, not encase it.
Backfllling
1. Place select backfill and compact
under the haunch, along the sides of,
and over the top of the pipe to a com-
pacted depth of at least 6". This backfill
shall be soils that allow good compaction
and placed In 6" layers, wellcompacted.
It shall be free of rocks, frozen clods, or
other hard objects.
2. The final backfill may then be made In
the usual manner, but care should be
taken not to dump large rocks or heavy
Objects on the Initial backfill and pipeline.
3. If the Joints and fittings must be left
exposed while under test, backfill to
within one foot of each side of the joint
or fitting to prevent deflection of the
pipe while under test pressures.
Testing
1. ALL AIR IN THE PIPELINE SHALL BE
BLED OFF CAREFULLY WHILE FILLING
THE LINE WITH WATER FOR TESTING.
Entrapped air in the line can cause ex-
cessive test pressures, and create un-
necessary problems. Air shall be bled
off at the high spots In the line. Air
removal may also be accomplished by
pushing a foam plug through the line by
Incoming water pressure.
2. Test pressures may be Vh times the
designed operating pressure of the
pipeline, but shall not exceed the maxi-
mum pressure ratingof the pipe.
3. After pressure test and acceptance
of testing, the uncovered Joints and fit-
tings shall be initially backfilled with
well compacted soil, and then covered
with final backfill.
4. Hydraulic pressure testing of the
pipeline shall be carried out Initially at
Intervals not exceeding 500 yards and
thereafter at Intervals not exceeding
1,000 yards.
Radius Bends
Gradual change of direction may be
achieved by deflecting or cocking RI EBER
Joints a maximum of 3 degrees without
affecting the hydraulic seal of the Joint.
Offsets are made only after the straight
In -line assembly is made. Deflectionsat
the Joint and minimum curve radii (ft.)
obtainable are listed below:

In placing concrete thrust blocks, check with the manufacturer of the
pipe being used to ensure that the correct size thrust blocks are
being, used.
There are a number of machines that can be used to prepare the
trench for PVC plastic pipe. Soil types, moisture content, depth of
trench required and type and diameter of pipe must be considered.
Generally chain trenches, wheel trenches, backhoes, or vibrating plows
will be. used for trench preparation. The vibrating plow can only be
used for solvent weld PVC pipe and generally is limited to the smaller
diameter of pipe. Under most conditions the chain, trencher or wheel
trencher will be faster than the backhoe. Where wide trenches for large
pipe are required, the backhoe will be most satisfactory. If soil
conditions permit, long stretches of open trench will expedite pipe
installation. However., if rain is forecast the pipe should be installed
and the trench backfilled. To avoid sharp turns in the line at obstructions,
trenches should be curved within limits of curvature of the pipe.

INSTALLATION
Jiamond Agricultural PVC Pipe should be assembled and
installed with uniform and continuous support from a firm
base in accordance with the installation procedures provided
in ASTM D2321, and the Installation Guide for PVC Water
Pipe (a "pocket -sized" edition is available from your
representative or from Diamond plastics Corporation.)
Embedment materials are to be in accordance with soil
classifications listed under Unified Soil Classification
System, ASTM D2487.and ASTM D2488.
Te assemble, clean mating surfaces of the bell, spigot, and
gasket. Apply gasket lubricant (furnished by Diamond
Plastics Corporation) to the entire spigot end up to the
reference mark. Also, apply lubricant to the contact surface
of the gasket.
With the pipe in straight alignment, push the spigot into
the bell up to the insertion line. If a pry bar is used to
apply force, the pipe should be prorected by placing a board
between the bar and the pipe.
If norrhal force does not complete the joint, disassemble the
joint and examine the parts to make ce:;ian they are free of
obstructions. Visually inspect the conipleted joint to insure
the gasket has not been dislodged.

In cranberry bogs where the pipe is not susceptible to
treazing and heavy equipment Is now allowed, the mini-
mum depth of cover may be 6 in for a Orin diameter pipe
and 12 in for a larger pipe.
The minimum cover for polyethylene pipe is 6 in but may
be reduced to 2 in where conditions warrant. The minimum
cower for PVC pipe In cranberry bogs. where the pipe is to
be protected from freezing after winter flooding, shall be 12
in, If the winter flood equals or exceeds 12 In. Where the
winter flood is lose than 12 in, the top of the pipe shall be
at kast 24 in below the water surface. Solvent -welded joints
shall be used at all connections of PVC pipe where peat
and muck exist In their normal layered pattem. Rubber
gasket joints may be used following normal bedding proce-
dures where coarse a" or content layers exist.
At low places on the ground surface, extra fill may be
DI aned over the pipeline to provide the minimum depth of
cover. The top width of the fill shall than be no leas than 10
tt and the side slopes no steeper town 6:1. If extra protec-
tion is needed at vehicle crossings, encasement pipe or
other approved methods may be used.
Trench construction. The trench at any point below
the top of the pipe shall be only wide enough to permit
the pipe to be easily placed and joined and to allow the
initial backfiil material to be uniformly placed under the
haunches and along the side of the pipe. The maximum
trench width shall be 36 in greater than the diameter of
the pipe. It the trench is precision excavated and has a
Semicircular bottom that closely fits the pipe, the width
shall not exceed the outside diameter of the pipe by
more that 10 percent.
The trench t=m shall be uniform so that the pipe lies
on the bottom wtOW bridging. Clods, rocks, and uneven
spots that can damage the pipe or cause nonuniform sup. -
.pan shall be removed.
If rocks, boulders, or any other material that can damage
the pipe are encountered, the trench bottom shall be under-
cut a minimum of 4 in below final grade and filled with bed-
ding material consisting of sand or compacted fine-grained
soils.
Pipelines having a diameter of 'A through 21h in that are
to be placed in areas not subject to vehicular loads and in
soils that do not crack appreciably when dry may be placed
by using "piow-in" equipment instead of Conventional
trenching.
Provisions shall be made to insure safe working candi-
tions where unstable soil, trench depth, or other conditions
can be hazardous to personnel working in the trench,
Placement. Care shall be taken to prevent permanent dis-
tortion and damage when handling the pipe during unusu-
ally warm or cold weather. The pipe shall be allowed to
come within a few degrees of the temperature it will have
after It is completely covered before placing the backfiil,
other than that needed for shading, or before connecting
the pipe to other facilities. The pipe shall be uniformly and
continuously supported over Its entire length on firm stable
material. Blocking or mounding shall not be used to bring
the pipe to final grade.
For pipe with bell joints, bell holes shall be excavated in
the bedding material, as needed, to allow for unobstructed
assembly of the joint and to permit the body of the pipe to
be in contact with the bedding material throughout its
length.
Joints and conneetlons. All joints and connections shall
be designed and constructed to withstand the design maxi-
mum working pressure for the pipeline without leakage and
to leave the inside of the line free of any obstruction that
may tend to reduce its capacity below design requirements.
All fittings, such as couplings, reducers, bends, tees, and
crosaes, shall be Installed according to the recommenda-
tions of the pipe manufacturer.
Fittings made of steel or other metals susceptible to cor-
rosion shall be adequately protected by being wrapped with
plastic tape or by being coated with a substance that has
high corrosion -preventative qualities. it plastic tape is used,
all surfaces shall be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a
primer compatible with the tape before wrapping.
Thrust blocks. Thrust blocks must be forted against a
solid hand-e=avated trench wail undamaged by mechani
cal equipment. They shall be constructed of concrete, and
the space between the pipe and trench wall shall be filled
to the height a the outside diameter of the pipe or as spec-
ified by the manutaeWrer.
Tenting. The pipeline shall be tested for pressure strength,
leakage, and proper functioning. The tests may be per.
formed before backfilling or anytime after the pipeline is
ready for service.
SM January 1989

Irrigation Water uonveyance
Tests for pressure strength and leaks shall be accom-
plished by inspecting the pipeline and appurtenances while
the maximum working pressure is maintained and all joints
and connections are uncovered, or by observing normal
operation of the pipeline after it is put into service. Partial
backfills needed to hold the pipe in place during testing
shall be placed as specified in "Initial Backfill." Any leaks
shall be repaired and the system retested.
The pipeline shall be tested to insure that it functions
property at design capacity. At or below design capacity
there shall be no objectionable flow conditions. Objectiona-
ble flow conditions shall include water hammer, continuing
unsteady delivery of water, damage to the pipeline, or detri.
mental discharge from control valves.
Initial backfill. Hand. mechanical. or water packing meth•
ods may be used.
The initial backfill material shall be soil or sand that is
free from rocks or stones larger than 1 in, in diameter. At
the time of placement, the moisture content of the material
shall be such that the required degree of compaction can
be obtained with the backfill method to be used. The initial
backfill material shall be placed so that the pipe will not be
displaced, excessively deformed, or damaged.
If backfilling is done by hand or mechanical means, the
initial fill shall be compacted firmly around and above the
pipe as required to provide adequate lateral support to the
Poe.
Ifthe water packing method is used, the pipeline first
shall be filled with water. The initial backfill before wetting
shall be of sufficient depth to insure complete coverage of
the pipe after consolidation. Water packing is accompfished
by adding enough water to diked reaches of the trench to
thoroughly saturate the initial backfitt without excessive
Pooling. Attar the backfill is saturated, the pipeline shall
remain lull until after the final backfill is made. The wetted
fill shall be allowed to dry until firm before beginning the
final backfill.
Final backfill. The final backfill material shall be free of
large rocks, frozen clods, and other debris greater than 3
in. in diameter. The material shall be placed and spread in
approximately uniform layers so that there will be no
unfilled spaces in the backfill and the backfill will be level
with the natural ground or at the design grade required to
provide the minimum depth of cover after settlement. Roil-
ing equipment shall not be used to consolidate the final
backfill until the specified minimum depth of cover has
been placed.
All special backfilting requirements of the pipe manufac-
turer shall be met.
Basle of acceptance. The acceptability of the pipeline
shall be determined by inspections to check compliance
with all the provisions of this standard with respect to the
design of the line, the pipe and pipe marking, the appurte-
nances. and the minimum installation requirements.
Certifications and guarantee. If requestW by the state
conservation engineer, a qualified testing laboratory must
certify with supporting test results that the pipe meets the
requirements specified in this standard. The seal of
approval of a recognized laboratory on pipe bearing one of
the ASTM designations listed in this standard may be
accepted for this certification.

Field Calibration Procedures
for Animal Wastewater Application Equipment
HARD HOSE
AND CABLE
TOW TRAVELER
IRRIGATION SYSTEM
General Guidelines
Land application equipment used on animal production farms must be field
calibrated or evaluated in accordance with existing design charts and tables
according to state rules that went into effect September 1, 1996. Technical
Specialist certifying waste management plans after September 1, 1996, must
also certify that operators have been provided calibration and adjustment
guidance for all land application equipment. The rules apply to irrigation sys-
tems as well as all other types of liquid, slurry, or solid application equipment
Information presented In manufacturers' charts are based on average op-
erating conditions for relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and applica-
tion rates change over time as equipment ages and components wear. As a
result, equipment should be field calibrated regularly to ensure that applica-
tion rates and uniformity are consistent with values used during the system
design and given in manufacturers' specifications. Field calibration involves
collection and measurement of the material being applied at several locations
in the application area. This publication contains step-by-step guidelines for
field calibration of hard hose and cable tow traveler irrigation systems.
Operating an irrigation system differently than
assumed in the design will alter the application rate,
uniformity of coverage, and subsequently the applica-
tion uniformity. Operating with excessive pressure
results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift,
and accelerates wear of the sprinkler nozzle. 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.
Clogging of nozzles or crystallization of main Iines
can result in increased pump pressure but reduced
flow at the gun. Plugged intakes will reduce operating
pressure. An operating pressure below design pressure
greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application
uniformity. Field calibration helps ensure that nutri-
ents from animal waste are applied uniformly and at
proper rates.
The calibration of a hard hose or cable tow system
Involves setting out collection containers, operating
the system, measuring the amount of wastewater
collected In each container, and then computing the
average application volume and application unifor-
mity.
An in -line flow meter installed in the main
Irrigation line provides a good estimate of the total
volume pumped from the lagoon during each irriga-
tion cycle. The average application depth can be
determined by dividing the pumped volume by the
application area. The average application depth is
computed from the formula:
Average application depth (inches) =
Volume pumped (gallons)
27,i 54 (gal/ac-in) X Application area (acres)
The average application depth is the average
amount applied throughout the field. Unfortunately,
sprinklers do not apply the same depth of water
throughout their wetted dlameteL Under normal
operating conditions, application depth decreases
towards the outer perimeter of the wetted diameter.
Big gun sprinkler systems typically have overlap
based on a design sprinkler spacing of 70 to 80
percent of the wetted sprinkler diameter to compen-

Field Calibration Procedures
for Animal Wastewater Application Equipment
sate for the declining application along the outer
perimeter. When operated at the design pressure, this
overlap results in acceptable application uniformity.
When operated improperly, well -designed systems
will not provide acceptable application uniformity.
For example, if the pressure is too low, the applica-
tion depth will be several times higher near the
center of sprinkler and water will not be thrown as
far from the sprinkler as indicated in manufacturers'
charts. Even through the average application depth
may be acceptable, some areas receive excessively
high application while others receive no application
at all.
When applying wastewater high in nutrients, it is
important to determine the application uniformity.
Collection containers distributed throughout the
application area must be used to evaluate application
uniformity.
Many types of containers can be used to collect
flow and determine the application uniformity.
Standard rain gauges work best and are recom-
mended because they already have a graduated scale
from which to read the application depth.
Pans, plastic buckets, jars, or anything with a
uniform opening and cross section can be used
provided the container is deep enough (at least 4
Inches deep) to prevent splash and excessive evapora-
tion, and the liquid collected can be easily trans-
ferred to a scaled container for measuring. All con-
tainers should be the same size and shape to simplify
application depth computations.
All collection containers should be set up at the
same height relative to the height of the sprinkler
nozzle (discharge elevation). Normally, the top of
each container should be no more than 36 inches
above the ground. Collectors should be located so
that there is no interference from the crop. The crop
canopy should be trimmed to preclude interference
or splash into the collection.container.
Calibration should be performed during periods
of low evaporation. Best times are before 10 a.m. or
after 4 p.m. on days with light wind (less than 5
miles per hour). On cool, cloudy days the calibration
can be performed anytime when wind velocity is less
than 5 mph.
The volume (depth) collected during calibration
should be read soon after the sprinkler gun cart has
moved one wetted radius past the collection gauges
to minimize evaporation from the rain gauge. Where
a procedure must be performed more than once,
containers should be read and values recorded
immediately after each setup.
Calibration Setup for Hard Hose and
Cable Tow Traveling Guns
Hard hose and cable tow traveling guns are calibrated
by placing a row (transect) of collection containers or
gauges perpendicular to the direction of travel, Figure
1. The outer gauge on each end of the row should
extend past the furthest distance the gun will throw
wastewater to ensure that the calibration is performed
on the "full" wetted diameter of the gun sprinkler.
Multiple rows increase the accuracy of the calibration.
Containers should be spaced no further apart than
1/16 of the wetted diameter of the gun spriniler not
to exceed 25 feet. At least 16 gauges should be used in
the calibration. Sixteen gauges will be adequate
except for large guns where the wetted diameter
exceeds 400 feet.
(Maximum recommended spacing between
gauges, 25 feet X 16 : 400 feet.) Gauges should be set
at least one full wetted diameter of throw from either
end of the travel lane, as shown in Figure 1.
The system should be operated such that the
minimum travel distance of the gun cart exceeds the
wetted diameter of throw. Application volumes
should be read as soon as the Iast gauges stop being
wetted.

14. Determine the application uniformity. The application uniformity is often computed using the
mathematical formula referred to as the Christiansen Uniformity Coefficient
It is computed as follows:
Average depth (#9) — Average deviation (#11)
Ue= Xi00
Average depth (#9)
15. Interpret the calibration results. The higher the index value, the more uniform the application. An index of
160 would mean that the uniformity Is perfect — the exact same amount was collected in every gauge.
For travelers with proper overlap and operated In light wind, an application unifomtity greater than 85 is
common.
Application uniformity between 70 to 85 is in the "good" range and is acceptable for wastewater
application.
Generally, an application uniformity below 70 is considered unacceptable for wastewater irrigation using
travelers. If the computed Uc is less than 70, system adjustments are required. Contact your irrigation
dealer or Certified Technical Specialist for assistance.

Application uniformity between 70 to 85 is in the "good" range and is acceptable for wastewater application.
Generally, an application uniformity below 70 is considered unacceptable for wastewater irrigation using
travelers. if the computed U, is less than 70, system adjustments are required. Contact your irrigation dealer or
Certified Technical Specialist for assistance.

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 31-833
Duplin County
This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRRI, IRR2, DRY I, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR I, SLUR2,
SLDI, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the
DWQ staff at [phone] ext. 571.

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a"
specified rate to prevent pollution of'surface water 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 Lis to be applied.
This waste utilization plan use nitrogen as the'limiting nutrient.
Waste should be analyzed before ach 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 to­riaximize the ferti.lizer,value of the waste .and to
ensure that'it is'applied in an environmentally safe manner:
1 A1tvays apply waste based on 'thee' needs 'of 'the crop. to be `
grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not a.ppiy., t
more nitrogen than the crop�can utilize:
ti 2 .. Soil types are important as -they'.. have.'different < 1f114� dtz�on,
rates, - leachin Mr3

4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils., -when. it : is raining;,r,:
or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions"".');
may result in runoff to surface waters which ' is not. allowed;`"'' '

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
r
5.11" 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 managerpent facility. Ian 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 changingiwaste 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.
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
3520 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 6688 tons
AMOUNT OF -PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
3520 hogs x 2.3 lbs.PAN/hogs/year ='80�,6 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. -

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

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 1302.4 pounds of1plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 ears, you will have approximately 6512
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 .21.7066666667 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 52.096 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 a
methods.

Mr. Mike: Hill
659 Kinsey Mill Rd.
Mt. Olive, NC 28365
Re: Proposed Hog Farm Site
NCSR 1508 Kinsey Mill Rd.
Dear Mr. Hill:
This is to respond to your request to clear a small
wooded area adjacent to Herrings Marsh Run for construction
of a hog operation on the above referenced site.
I have discussed this request with Mr. Mike Sugg of the
Soil Conservation Service. I have reviewed the Flood
Insurance Rate Maps published by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency and the USGS Topographic maps to determine
if the proposed area to be leared is within the 100 year
flood plain.
Based on my review, I hgve determined that the proposed
area to bd cleared is located outside the 100 year flood
plain.
The Duplin County Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance
applies only .to, building construction within the 100 year
flood plain. This ordinance does not apply to clearing land
outside the flood plain. However, to avoid ineligibility for
SCS assistance, be careful not to clear any additional area
or otherwise disturb area within the flood plain.
Enclosed is a copy of a portion of the USGS Topographic
Map showing the site, the approximA-te location of the flood
plain boundary, and the approximate woodsline. l have
also shown the proposed area to be cleared.
If you have questions or need other information, please
call.
Sincerely,
Michael Aldridcfe
County Planner

Emergency Action Plan
This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operations are leaking, overflowing, or
running off the site. You should NOT wait until wastes reach surface waters or leave your property to
consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to ensure that this does not happen. This
plan should be available to all employees at the facility, as accidents, leaks, and breaks can happen at any
time.
1) Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be possible. Suggested
responses to problems are listed below:
a) Lagoon overflow:
• add soil to the berm to increase the elevation of the dam SAT FA
? �� EC
7lON
• pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate f d1�7 1996
• stop all additional flow to the lagoon (waterers) Non J�rc
• call a pumping contractor °�a�.?® p�nittrrrg
• make sure no surface water is entering the Iagoon
Note: These activities should be started when your lagoon level has exceeded the temporary storage level.
b) Runoff from waste application field:
• immediately stop waste application
• create a temporary diversion or berm to contain the waste on the field
• incorporate waste to reduce further runoff
c) Leaking from the waste distribution system:
• pipes and sprinklers:
© stop recycle (flushing system) pump
® stop irrigation pump
© close valves to eliminate further discharge
® separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow
• flush system, houses, solids separators:
OO stop recycle (flushing system) pump
® stop irrigation pump
OO make sure no siphon effect has been created
(D separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow
d) Leakage from base or sidewall of the lagoon. Often these are seepage as opposed to flowing
leaks:
• dig a small well or ditch to catch all seepage, put in a submersible pump, and pump back
into the lagoon

• if holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals
and fill holes and compact with a clay type soil.
• other holes may be likewise temporarily plugged with clay soil.
Note: For permanent repair measures, lagoon problems require the
consultation of an individual experienced in their design and installation.
2) Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages.
a) Did the waste reach any surface waters?
b) Approximately how much was released and for what duration?
c) Any damage noted, such as employee injury, fish kills, or property damage?
3) Contact appropriate agencies.
a) During normal business hours, call your DWQ regional office: [phone] ; after
hours, emergency number: Q19) 733-3942. Your phone call should include: your name,
facility, telephone number, the details of the incident, the exact location of the facility,
and the location or direction of movement of the spill, weather and wind conditions, what
corrective measures have been taken, and the seriousness of the situation.
b) If the spill leaves the property or enters surface waters, call the local EMS:
559-6125 or 559-6126.
c) Instruct EMS to contact the local Health Department: 527-7116.
d) Contact CES: 527-21 1
local NRCS office: 2� 3_7d10
and your integrator:
4) Implement procedures as advised by DWQ and technical assistance agencies to rectify the
damage, repair the system, and reassess the waste management plan to keep problems with
release of wastes from happening again.
5) Contact contract pumping and/or irrigation equipment companies:
b)
c)

6) Contact dirt moving and/or heavy equipment companies:
