(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 2H.
0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

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 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.
a Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may
be applied to.land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year
providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard
393 - Filter Strip).
5 Odors can be reduced by Injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should
not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field.
6 When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on
conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland; the
waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to
flooding_ (See "Weather'and Cilmate 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 pond ing 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 fm7F n

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 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.
Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The
11 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).
Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
12
Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by
13 the landowner.
Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways.
14
Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by
15 discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands
provided they have been approved as a land application site by a 'technical specialist".
Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water
courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a
manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site.
Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not
16 be discharged into the animal waste management system.

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.
Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct
20 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.
Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the
21 temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be

In accordance with your requests for renewal and change of ownership, we are hereby forwarding to you
this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Theron O'Brien Shepard, 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 (CA)&'MP) for the Triple S Farm, located in Duplin County, with a swine animal capacity of no
greater than the following annual averages:
Wean to Finish: Feeder to Finish: 2880 Boar/Stud:
Wean to Feeder: Farrow to Wean: Gilts:
Farrow to Finish: Farrow to Feeder: Other:
If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may be one boar for each 15 sows. Where
boars are unnecessary, 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, 2014, and shall hereby void
Certificate of Coverage Number AWS310849 that was previously issued to this facility. 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.
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Please pay careful attention to the
record keeping and monitoring conditions in this permit. Record _keeping forms are unchanged with this
General Permit. Please continue to use the same record keeping forms.

If your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) has been developed based on site -specific information, careful
evaluation of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current WUP is inaccurate
you will need to have a new WUP developed.
The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property.
Per 15A NCAC 2T .0105(h) 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.
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.
If you wish to continue the activity permitted under the General Permit after the expiration date of the
General Permit, then an application for renewal must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration.
This COC is not automatically transferable. A name/ownership change application must be submitted to
the Division prior to a name change or change in ownership.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this COC are unacceptable, you have the right to
apply for an individual permit by contacting the Animal Feeding Operations Unit for information on this
process. Unless such a request is made within 30 days, this COC shall be final and binding.
In accordance with Condition 11.22 of the General Permit, waste application shall cease within four (4)
hours of the time that the National Weather Service issues a Hurricane Warning, Tropical Storm Warning,
or a Flood Watch associated with a tropical system for the county in which the facility is located. You
may find detailed watch/warning information for your county by calling the Newport/Morehead City, NC

NOTE: Symbol * means user entered data.

The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of
cropland needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient
requirements, and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake.
This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by
manure or other by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be
applied on each field in order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the
total manure applied is included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the manure generated by the, operation.
Depending on the requirements of the crop and the nutrient content of the waste,,some nutrients will likely be over or under applied if animal waste is being
utilized. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle and annual soil tests are required if animal waste is being applied. Soil tests should be
used to balance the nutrient application amounts with the realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Nutrient management plans may require that the
application of animal waste be limited so as to prevent over application of phosphorous when excessive levels of this nutrient are detected in a field

The Irrigation Application Factors for each field in this plan are shown in the following table -
Infiltration rate varies with soils. If applying waste nutrients through an irrigation system, you must
apply at a rate that will not result in runoff. This table provides the maximum application rate per hour
that may be applied to each field selected to receive wastewater. It also lists the maximum application
amount that each field may receive in any one application event.

The following Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization table provides an estimate of the number of acres needed for
sludge utilization for the indicated accumulation period. These estimates are based on average nitrogen
concentrations for each source, the number of animals in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application
rates shown in the second column.
Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent. At
clean out, this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases, the
priority nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting.
Since nutrient levels are generally very high, application of sludge must be carefully applied.
Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray fields should not
be used for sludge application. If this is not possible, care should be taken not to loadeffluent application fields
with high amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface
water moving to streams and lakes, phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels
may also be a concern. .

The Available Waste Storage Capacity table provides an estimate of the number of days of storage
capacity available at the end of each month of the plan. Available storage capacity is calculated as the
design storage capacity in days minus the number of days of not storage volume accumulated. The
start date is a value entered by the user and is defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first
crop in the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or holding pond is equal to zero.
Available storage capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the design
storage capacity of the facility. If the available storage rapacity is greater than the design storage
capacity, this indicates that the plan calls for the application ofnutrients that have not yet accumulated.
If available storage capacity is negative, the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the
design storage volume of the structure. Either of these situations indicates that the planned application
interval in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the structure's temporary storage capacity.

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
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 that reaches
surface water is prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer
either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to
properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to
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 Management Plan when there is a change in the
operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application,
receiving crop type, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs
for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture,
historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless
there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other
nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre
per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per
acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter
strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field
Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste
application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift
from the land application field
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste
will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is
applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be
broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season. prone
to flooding (see "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for
guidance).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - --
738357 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 2/5/03 Specification Page 1

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.
S. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall
events, or when the soil surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a
manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would
inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should
also be considered.
10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring .
planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Wastelnutrient
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 that 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.
------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
738357 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 2/5/03 Specification Page 2

15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways,
or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be
applied to prior converted cropland provided the fields have been
approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal
waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly
into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be
applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift
from the site.
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.
-------------------- ----------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
738357 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 2/5/03 Specification Pare 3

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 soils 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 five
(5) years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina
regulations.

The table shown below provides a summary of the crops or rotations included in this plan for each field. Realistic Yield estimates are
also provided for each crop, as well as the crop's P205 Removal Rate. The Leaching Index (LI) and the Phosphorous Loss Assessment
Tool (PLAT) Rating are also provided for each field, where available.
If a field's PLAT Rating is High, any planned manure application is limited to the phosphorous removal rate of the harvested plant
biomass for the crop rotation or multiple years in the crop sequence. Fields with a Very High PLAT Rating should receive no
additional applications of manure. Regardless of the PLAT rating, starter fertilizers may be recommended in accordance with North
Carolina State University guidelines or recommendations. The quantity of P205 applied to each crop is shown in the following table if
the field's PLAT rating is High or Very High.

The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the waste'utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of cropland needed to use
the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements, and proper timing of applications to
maximize nutrient uptake.
This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or other by-products,
commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each field in order to supply the indicated quantity
of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides
for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation.

The Irrigation Application Factors for each field in this plan are shown in the following table. Infiltration rate varies with soils. If
applying waste nutrients through an irrigation system, you must apply at a rate that will not result in runoff. This table provides the
maximum application rate per hour that may be applied to each field selected to receive wastewater. It also lists the maximum
application amount that each field may receive in any one application event.

NOTE: Symbol * means user entered data.

The Nutrient Management Recommendations table shown below provides an annual summary of the nutrient management plan
developed for this operation. This table provides a nutrient balance for the listed fields and crops for each year of the plan.
Required nutrients are based on the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements and soil test results. The
quantity of nutrient supplied by each source is also identified.
The total quantity of nitrogen applied to each crop should not exceed the required amount. However, the quantity of other
nutrients applied may exceed their required amounts. This most commonly occurs when manure or other byproducts are utilized
to meet the nitrogen needs of the crop. Nutrient management plans may require that the application of animal waste be limited so
as to prevent over application of phosphorous when excessive levels of this nutrient are detected in a field. In such situations,
additional nitrogen applications from nonorgartic sources may be required to supply the recommended amounts of nitrogen.

The Required Soil Test Values shown in the following table provide a summary of recommended actions that should be taken if soil tests indicate excessive levels of
copper or zinc. Fields that receive manure must have an annual soil analysis for these elements. High levels of zinc and copper can adversely affect plant growth.
Alternative crop sites must be used when the concentration of these metals approach excessive levels. Site life can be estimated by dividing the amount of copper and
zinc to be applied in lbslacre by 0.036 and 0.071, respectively and multiplying the result by 0.85. By adding this quantity to the current soil index for copper or zinc, we
can predict life of the site for waste disposal.
In addition to copper and zinc indices, this table also provides a summary of lime recommendations for each crop based on the most recent soil sample. Application of
lime at recommended rates is necessary to maintain soil pH in the optimum range for crop production.

The following Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization table provides an estimate of the number of acres needed for sludge
utilization for the indicated accumulation period. These estimates are based on average nitrogen concentrations for each source,
the number of animals in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application rates shown in the second column.
Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent. At clean out, this
material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases, the priority nutrient is nitrogen but
other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since nutrient levels are generally very high,
application of sludge must be carefully applied.
Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray fields should not be used for
sludge application. If this is not possible, care should be taken not to load effluent application fields with high amounts of
copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water moving to streams and lakes,
phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a concern.

The Available Waste Storage Capacity table provides an estimate of the number of days of storage capacity available
at the end of each month of the plan. Available storage capacity is calculated as the design storage capacity in days
minus the number of days of net storage volume accumulated. The start date is a value entered by the user and is
defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or
holding pond is equal to zero.
Available storage capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the design storage
capacity of the facility. If the available storage capacity is greater than the design storage capacity, this indicates that
the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated. If available storage capacity is negative,
the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design storage volume of the structure. Either of these
situations indicates that the planned application interval in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the
structure's temporary storage capacity.

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
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 that reaches surface water is
prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns
or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the
waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to 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 tht waste production facility to
secure an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the
operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving
crop type, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for
realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data,
climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that
restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year.
Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but
less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where
runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard
393 - Filter Strips).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste application.
Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land
application field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is applied to
conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the
application does not occur during a season prone to flooding (see "Weather and
Climate in North Carolina" for guidance).
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.
---------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- ------- --------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------
770863 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 5/8/2006 Specification Page 1

8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or
when the soil surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that
the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The
potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered.
10. 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 that 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 a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to
prior converted cropland provided the fields have been approved as a land
application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on
grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other
grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that
causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks,
etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system.
.-•---------------------------•-----------------------------------------------------------------------------•-------------••--- -------------------•-•-------
770863 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 5/8/2006 Specification Page 2

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 soils 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 five (5)
years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina
regulations.

Crop Notes
The following crop note applies to field(s): 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Bermudagrass Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, Moderately Well Drained.
Adaptation: Well -adapted -
In the Coastal Plain, hybrid bennudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. I to Mar. 31. Cover sprigs 1" to 3"
deep (1.5" optimal). Sprigs should be planted quickly after digging and not allowed to dry in sun and
wind. For Coastal and Tifton 78 plant at least 10 bu/ac in 3' rows, spaced 2' to 3' in the row. Generally a
rate of 30 bu/ac is satisfactory to produce full groundcover in one or two years under good growing
conditions. Tifton 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bu/ac in 1,5' to 2' rows spaced 1' to 1.5' in row.
For broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus,
potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 100 Ib/ac N in
the establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply 180 to 240
lb/ac N annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts.
Reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization
of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for more information or consult your regional agronomist or
extension agent for assistance.
The following crop note applies to field(s): 1, 2
Small Grain: CP, Mineral Soil, low -leachable
In the Coastal Plain, oats and barley should be planted from October 15-October 30; and rye from
October 15-November 20. For barley, plant 22 seed/drill row foot and increase the seeding rate by 5% for
each week seeding is delayed beyond the optimum time. See the seeding rates table for applicable
seeding rate modifications in the current NCSU "Small Grain Production Guide".- Also, increase the
initial seeding rate by at least 10% when planting no -till. Oats should be planted at 2 bushels/acre and
rye at 1-1 1/2 bushels/acre. Plant all these small grains at 1-1 1/2" deep. Adequate depth control is
essential. Review the NCSU Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to
select a high yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Apply no more
than 30 lbslacre N at planting. Phosphorus and potash recommended by a soil test can also be applied at
this time. The remaining N should be applied during the months of February -March.

The table shown below provides a summary of the crops or rotations included in this plan for each field. Realistic Yield estimates are
so provided for each crop, as well as the crop's P205 Removal Rate. The Leaching Index (LI) and the Phosphorous Loss Assessment
fool (PLAT) Rating are also provided for each field, where available.
If a field's PLAT Rating is High, any planned manure application is limited to the phosphorous removal rate of the harvested plant
biomass for the crop rotation or multiple years in the crop sequence. Fields with a Very High PLAT Rating should receive no
additional applications of manure. Regardless of the PLAT rating, starter fertilizers may be recommended in accordance with North
Carolina State University guidelines or recommendations. The quantity of P205 applied to each crop is shown in the following table if
the field's PLAT rating is High or Very High.

The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of cropland needed to use
the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements, and proper timing of applications to
maximize nutrient uptake.
This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or other by-products,
commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each field in order to supply the indicated quantity
of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides
for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation.

The Irrigation Application Factors for each field in this plan are shown in the following table. Infiltration rate varies with soils. If
applying waste nutrients through an irrigation system, you must apply at a rate that will not result in runoff. This table provides the
maximum application rate per hour that may be applied to each field selected to receive wastewater. It also lists the maximum
application amount that each field may receive in any one application event.

NOTE: Symbol * means user entered data.

The Nutrient Management Recommendations table shown below provides an annual summary of the nutrient management plan
developed for this operation. This table provides a nutrient balance for the listed fields and craps for each year of the plan.
Required nutrients are based on the realistic yields of the craps to be grown, their nutrient requirements and sail test results. The
quantity of nutrient supplied by each source is also identified.
The total quantity of nitrogen applied to each crop should not exceed the required amount. However, the quantity of other
nutrients applied may exceed their required amounts. This most commonly occurs when manure or other byproducts are utilized
to meet the nitrogen needs of the crop. Nutrient management plans may require that the application of animal waste be limited so
as to prevent over application of phosphorous when excessive levels of this nutrient are detected in a field. In such situations,
additional nitrogen applications from nonorganic sources may be required to supply the recommended amounts of nitrogen.

The Required Soil Test Values shown in the following table provide a summary of recommended actions that should be taken if soil tests indicate excessive levels of
copper or zinc. Fields that receive manure must have an annual soil analysis for these elements. High levels of zinc and copper can adversely affect plant growth.
Alternative crop sites must be used when the concentration of these metals approach excessive levels. Site life can be estimated by dividing the amount of copper and
zinc to be applied in lbslacre by 0.036 and 0.071, respectively and multiplying the result by 0.85. By adding this quantity to the current soil index for copper or zinc, we
can predict life of the site for waste disposal.
In addition to copper and zinc indices, this table also provides a summary of lime recommendations for each crop based on the most recent soil sample. Application of
lime at recommended rates is necessary to maintain soil pH in the optimum range for crop production.

The following Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization table provides an estimate of the number of acres needed for sludge
utilization for the indicated accumulation period. These estimates are based on average nitrogen concentrations for each source,
the number of animals in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application rates shown in the second column.
Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent. At clean out, this
material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases, the priority nutrient is nitrogen but
other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since nutrient levels are generally very high,
application of sludge must be carefully applied.
Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray fields should not be used for
sludge application. If this is not possible, care should be taken not to load effluent application fields with high amounts of
copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water moving to streams and lakes,
phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a concern.

The Available Waste Storage Capacity table provides an estimate of the number of days of storage capacity available
at the end of each month of the plan. Available storage capacity is calculated as the design storage capacity in days
minus the number of days of net storage volume accumulated. The start date is a value entered by the user and is
defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or
holding pond is equal to zero.
Available storage capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the design storage
capacity of the facility. If the available storage capacity is greater than the design storage capacity, this indicates that
the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated. If available storage capacity is negative,
the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design storage volume of the structure. Either of these
situations indicates that the planned application interval in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the
structure's temporary storage capacity.

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
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 that reaches surface water is
prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns
or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the
waste: If the producer does not own adequate land to 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 Management Plan when there is a change in the
operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving
crop type, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for
realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data,
climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that
restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year.
Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but
less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where
runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard
393 - Filter Strips).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste application.
Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land
application field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is applied to
conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the
application does not occur during a season prone to flooding (see "Weather and
Climate in North Carolina" for guidance).
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such
that runoff does not occur offshe 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.
-------------------------------------------------------- ---•-----...--------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------
770863 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 5/8/2006 Specification Page 1

8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or
when the soil surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that
the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The
potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered.
10. 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 that 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 a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to
prior converted cropland provided the fields have been approved as a land
application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on
grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other
grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that
causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks,
etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------••----------------------------------------------------
770863 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 5/8/2006 Specification Page 2

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. AnimaI 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 soils 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 five (5)
years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina
regulations.

Crop Notes
The following crop note applies to field(s): 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Bermudagrass Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, Moderately Well Drained.
Adaptation: Well -adapted.
In the Coastal Plain, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. 1 to Mar. 31. Cover sprigs 1" to 3"
deep (1.5" optimal). Sprigs should be planted quickly after digging and not allowed to dry in sun and
wind. For Coastal and Tifton 78 plant at least 10 bu/ac in 3' rows, spaced 2' to 3' in the row. Generally a
rate of 30 bu/ac is satisfactory to produce full groundcover in one or two years under good growing
conditions. Tifton 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bu/ac in 1.5' to 2' rows spaced 1' to 1.5' in row.
For broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus,
potassium and micronutnents to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 100 lb/ac N in
the establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply 180 to 240
lb/ac N annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts.
Reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization
of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for more information or consult your regional agronomist or
extension agent for assistance.
The following crop note applies to field(s): 1, 2
Small Grain: CP, Mineral Soil, low -leachable
In the Coastal Plain, oats and barley should be planted from October 15-October 30; and rye from
October 15-November 20. For barley, plant 22 seed/drill row foot and increase the seeding rate by 5% for
each week seeding is delayed beyond the optimum time. See the seeding rates table for applicable
seeding rate modifications in the current NCSU "Small Grain Production Guide". Also, increase the
initial seeding rate by at least 10% when planting no -till. Oats should be planted at 2 bushels/acre and
rye at 1-1 1/2 bushels/acre. Plant all these small grains at 1-1 1/2" deep. Adequate depth control is
essential. Review the NCSU Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to
select a high yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Apply no more
than 30 lbs/acre N at planting. Phosphorus and potash recommended by a soil test can also be applied at
this time. The remaining N should be applied during the months of February -March.

The following crop note applies to field(s). 1, 2
Bermudagrass CP, Mineral Soil, Poorly Drained to Somewhat Poorly Drained.
Adaptation: Effective artificial drainage MUST be in place to achieve Realistic Yield Expectations
provided for these soils.
In the Coastal Plain, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. I to Mar. 31. Cover sprigs 1" to 3"
deep (1.5" optimal). Sprigs should be planted quickly after digging and not allowed to dry in sun and
wind. For Coastal and Tifton 78 plant at least 10 bu/ac in 3' rows, spaced 2' to 3' in the row. Generally a
rate of 30 bu/ac is satisfactory to produce full groundcover in one or two years under good growing
conditions. Tifton 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bu/ac in 1.5' to 2' rows spaced V to 1.5' in row.
For broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus,
potassium and micronutrients to apply prep Iant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 100 lb/ac N in
the establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply 180 to 240
lb/ac N annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts.
Reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization
of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for more information or consult your regional agronomist or
extension agent for assistance.

Subject: Notification for Phosphorus Loss Assessment
Triple S Farm
Permit Number NCA231849
Facility 31-849
Duplin County
Dear Theron O. Shepard,
c 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 NCA231849 Condition I.6, your facility must now
conduct a Phosphorus Loss Assessment. Condition I.6 states:
"If prior to the expiration date of this permit either the state or federal government establishes
Phosphorus loss standards that are applicable to land application activities at a facility operating
under this permit, the Permittee must conduct an evaluation of the facility and its CAWMP under
the requirements of the Phosphorus loss standards to determine the facility's ability -.to comply
with the standards. This evaluation must be documented on forms supplied or approved by the
Division and must be submitted to the Division. This evaluation must be completed by existing
facilities within six (6) months of receiving notification from the Division.
Once Phosphorus loss standards are established by the state or federal government that are
applicable to facilities applying to operate under this permit, no Certificate of Coverage will be .
issued to any new or expanding facility to operate under this permit until the applicant
demonstrates that the new or expanding facility can comply with these standards."
The method of evaluation is the Phosphorous Loss Assessment Tool (PLAT) developed by NC State
University and the Natural Resources Conservation Service- PLAT addresses four potential loss
pathways: leaching, erosion, runoff and direct movement of waste over the surface. Each field must be
individually evaluated and rated as either low, medium, high or very high according to its Phosphorus

loss potential. The ratings for your farm must be reported to DWQ using the attached certification form.
The PLAT forms must be kept as records on your farm for future reference.
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
forms) must be submitted within 180 days of receipt of this letter to:

NPDES permitted farms will need to have implemented a nutrient ,management plan which addresses
phosphorus loss before the next permit cycle beginning July, 2007. If you have any Fields with a high or
very high rating, then your waste utilization plan will require modifications. The purpose of performing
PLAT this early is to allow adequate time for making waste plan modifications where necessary. With
the next permit, continued application of waste will not be allowed on fields with a very high rating. For
fields rated high, only the amount of phosphorus projected to be removed by the harvested crop. For low
and medium ratings, phosphorus will not be the limiting factor. Once the PLAT evaluation is completed
on your farm, you will know if you have Fields that need further work. You are encouraged to begin
developing and implementing a strategy to deal with any issues as soon as possible.
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.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact me at [phone] or

Duplin County
Dear Theron O. Shepard:
On March 14, 2003, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) issued an NPDES General
Permit for swine facilities. The General Permit was issued to enable swine facilities -in North.Carolina to
obtain coverage under a single permit that addresses both State and Federal requirements.
In accordance with your application received on February 7, 2003, we are hereby forwarding to you this
Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Theron O. Shepard, authorizing the operation of the subject
animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with NPDES
General Permit NCA200000. The issuance of this COC supercedes and terminates your COC Number
AWS310849 to operate under State Non -Discharge Permit AWG10000Q.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Triple S Farm, located in DuplinCounty, with an animal capacity of no greater
than an annual average of 2880 Feeder to Finish swine and the application to land as specified in the
facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). 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 -July 1, 2007. 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.
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed General Permit.. Since this is a new joint State and
Federal general permit it contains many new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained
in the current State general permit. Enclosed for your convenience is a package containing the new and
revised forms used for record keeping and reporting_ Please pay careful attention to the record keeping
and monitoringconditions in this permit. The Devices _ to Automatically Stop Irrigation Events Form
must be returned to the Division of Water Quality no later than 120 days following receipt of - the
Certificate of Coverage. The Animal Facility Annual Certification Form must be corrmleted and returned
to the Division of WaterQuality by no later than March 1st of each year.

NOTE: Svmbol + means user entered data.

The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of
cropland needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient
requirements, and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake.
This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by
manure or other by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be
applied on each field in order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the
total manure applied is included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation.
Depending on the requirements of the crop and the nutrient content of the waste, some nutrients will likely be over or under applied if animal waste is being
utilized. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle and annual soil tests are required if animal waste is being applied. Soil tests should be
used to balance the nutrient application amounts with the realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Nutrient management plans may require that the
application of animal waste be limited so as to prevent over application of phosphorous when excessive levels of this nutrient are detected in a field.

The following Lagoon Sludge N itrogen Utilization table provides an estimate of the number of acres needed for
sludge utilization for the indicated accumulation period. These estimates are based on average nitrogen
concentrations for each source, the number of animals in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application
rates shown in the second column.
Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent. At
clean out, this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases, the
priority nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting.
Since nutrient levels are generally very high, application of sludge must be carefully applied.
Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray fields should not
be used for sludge application. If this is not possible, care should be taken not to load effluent application fields
with high amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface
water moving to streams and lakes, phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels
may also be a concern.

The Available Waste Storage Capacity table provides an estimate of the number of days of storage
capacity available at the end of each month of the plan. Available storage capacity is calculated as the
design storage capacity in days minus the number of days of net storage volume accumulated. The
start date is a value entered by the user and is deffied as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first
crop in the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or holding pond is equal to zero.
Available storage capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the design
storage capacity of the facility. if the available storage rapacity is greater than the design storage
capacity, this indicates that the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated.
If available, storage capacity is negative, the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the
design storage volume of the structure. Either of these situations indicates that the planned application
interval in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the structure's temporary storage capacity.

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
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 that reaches
surface water is prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer
either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to
properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to
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 Management Plan when there is a change in the
operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application,
receiving crop type, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs
for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture,
historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless
there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other
nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre
per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per
acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter
strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field
Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste
application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift
from the land application field.
b. 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).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
738357 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 2/5/03 Specification Page 1

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.
S. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall
events, or when the soil surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a
manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would
inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should
also be considered.
10. 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 that 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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
738357 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 2/5/03 Specification Page 2

15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways,
or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be
applied to prior converted cropland provided the fields have been
approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal
waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly
into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be
applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift
from the site.
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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
738357 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 215103 Specification Pane 3

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 soils 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 rive 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 rive
(5) years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina
regulations.

Subject: Notification for Wettable Acre Determination
Animal Waste Management System
Triple S Farm
Facility Number 31-849
Duplin County
A letter dated January 15, 1999 was sent to advise you about concerns associated with Certified Animal
Waste Management Plans and the method by which the irrigated acres within the plans were calculated. 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 Brian Wrenn on 2/11/99 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 Dean Hunkele the necessary
information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre
determination. Please submit this information to Dean Hunkele, 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 Dean Hunkele at [phone]. If within 90 days you
are unable to provide Dean Hunkele with the information you are automatically
required to complete a Wettable Acre Determination as described by Category 2
below, within 180 days of receipt of this letter.

Your facility has been identified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
as a facility that may have overestimated the number of acres actually receiving animal
waste. 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 DWO within the next
180 clays. If the needed modifications are not made and if the form is not returned within the
required time, DWO 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. DWO and the Division of Soil & Water Conservation Staff will
review all documentation during their annual visit of your facility. An additional copy must by
kept on file at the local Soil & Water Conservation District Office. Please note that if you install
or modify your irrigation system, a designated Irrigation Specialist or a Professional Engineer
must also sign the Wettable Acre Determination Certification.
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 Sonya Avant of our
Central Office staff at [phone] ext. 571.

Subject: Notice of Violation and Revocation for Nonpayment
Triple S Farm
Permit Number: AWS310849
Duplin County
In accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.10G, all animal operations who receive an animal
waste management system permit will be charged in each year of the term an annual permit fee. Annual permit fees are
billed following the issuance of the permit and then annually thereafter on the anniversary of that date. Your animal waste
management system permit was issued on 10/26/98.
Your annual permit fee for the period of 10/26/98 - 10/25/99 is $100.00. Your payment was due 12/6198.
Because this fee was not fully paid within 30 days after being billed, this letter initiates action to revoke the subject
permit, pursuant to 15 NCAC 2H .0205 (c) (4). and G.S. 143-215.1 (b) (3).
Effective 60 days from receipt of this notice, the subject permit is hereby revoked unless the required Annual
Animal Waste Management System Permit fee for your animal operation is received within that time. Operation of an
animal waste management system without a valid permit is a violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and is
subject to the assessment of a civil penalty of up to $10,000 per day. Your payment should be sent to:
N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources
Division of Water Quality

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 31-849
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. IRR1, IRR2, DRY I, DRY2, DRYS, 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.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Shepard:
On August 20, 1998, staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water
Quality inspected your ani.maI operation and the lagoon serving this operation. Upon reviewing
your irrigation records it was determined that you had clerical errors. Review of revised records
requested by this office and supplied by you, indicates that nitrogen (waste) was over -applied to
your small grain overseed. Amounts ranged between 50-75 lbs/ac on four Pulls. Your certified
Waste Utilization Plan and NRCS standards require that waste must be applied at agronomic rates
and times to insure that nitrogen will be properly utilized by the cover crop. In this case, no more
than 50 lbs/ac on a small grain overseed.
Any over -application must be deducted from the next crop rotation which your revised
records indicate has been done. Such applications in the future could generate a Notice of
Violation and carry an enforcement action including a civil penalty.
When you receive your General Permit, please read the information sent thoroughly as it
contains additional compliance requirements and important statements. As a reminder, DWQ at
the Wilmington Regional Office must be notified by you if the freeboard level rises above the
required 19 or 26 inches (in the red zone) for facilities with a General Permit.
To remain a deemed permitted facility, you must notify this office in writing within
fourteen (14) days of the receipt of this notice, what actions will be taken to comply with your waste
management plan. Failure to do so may result in the facility losing it's permitted status, requiring
it to obtain an individual non discharge permit.

Please be aware it is a violation of North Carolina General Statutes to discharge wastewater
to the surface waters of the State without a permit. The Department of Environment and Natural
Resources has the authority to levy a civil penalty of not more than $10,000 per day per violation.

Mr Hunkele:
OCT 151998
This is in response to your letter of September 28, 1998, regarding the
over -application of waste water on Triple S Farm.
1. Lagoon Liquid Level has been dropped to a very safe level of 40" of
freeboard going into the fall and winter months.
2. We have contacted Bryan Spell with Dogwood Farms, Inc., to modify
our Waste Utilization Plan to allow for 100 lbs. of PAN, with the appropriate
windows of application on small grain overseed. This will allow us more
flexability in managing our freeboard level.
We feel the measures that we have taken should keep us in compliance with
all regulations unless we have the extreme conditions of approximately 5 ft.
of rain as we received during the months of November, 1997 through February,
1998, where over -application was nearly impossible to avoid.
Sincerely,
,-)AJ'O

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 DEM regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor
problems.
Page: 1

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
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 and volume of waste from your waste management facility. In some
cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to
be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to
accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must be applied to
maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with
15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environinental Management Commission. `
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
2880 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 5472 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
2880 hogs x 2-.3 lbs PAN/hags/year = 6624 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.

Indicates that this field is being overseeded (i.e. interplanted) or winter annuals follow
summer annuals.
In interplanted`• fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded
in bermudagrass), 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 to 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 J ust 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
time 'small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late
September or early October. Drilling is recommended over
broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a
height of about two inches before drilling for best results.
* * Acreage figures may exceed total acreage in fields due to overseeding.

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 1065.6 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 5328
Page: 6

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
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 17.76 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 42.624 acres
of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25o depending on your
sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application
methods.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the
soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This
rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil
texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount
should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the
time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed
the nitrogen needs of the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan,
it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure
that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres
shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application
rates -and amounts.

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Your facility is designed for 180.00 days of temporary storage and the temporary
storage must be removed on the average of once every 6.00 months. In no instance
should the volume of the waste be stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24
hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour
storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader
equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in Tables 1
and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the
tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in
determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to
applying the waste.
NARRATIVE OF OPERATION
Page: 8

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift,
manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or
land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is
prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns
or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the
waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste,
he/she shall provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a
reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application.
It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the
Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the
number of animals, method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for
realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic
conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the
rate of application for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year.
Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10
tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves
the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strip)
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application.
Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation
tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application
does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in
North Carolina" for guidance.)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such
that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface- waters and in a method which
does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in
order to control odor or flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or
when the surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the
crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The
potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on

This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking,
overflowing or running off site. You should not wail 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 doe not happen. This plan should be posted in an accessible location
for all employees at the facility. The following are some action items you should take.
1 . Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be
possible. Suggested responses to some possible problems are listed below.
A. Lagoon overflow -possible solutions are:
a. Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam.
b. Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate.
c. Stop all flows to the lagoon immediately.
d. Call a pumping contractor.
e. Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon.
B. Runoff from waste application field -actions include:
a. Immediately stop waste application.
b. Create a temporary diversion to contain waste.
c. Incorporate waste to reduce runoff.
d. Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s) that caused the runoff.
e. Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred.
C. Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinklers -action include:
a. Stop recycle pump.
b. Stop irrigation pump.
c. Close values to eliminate further discharge.
d. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
D. Leakage from flush systems, houses, solid separators -action include:

b. Stop irrigation pump.
c. make sure -no siphon occurs.
d. Stop all flows in the house, flush systems or solid separators.
e. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
E. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed
to flowing leaks -possible action:
a. Dig a small sump or ditch away from the embankment to catch all
seepage, put in a submersible pump, and pump back to lagoon.
b. If holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill
holes and compact with a clay type soil.
c. Have a professional evaluate the condition of the side walls and lagoon
bottom as soon as possible.

System Calibration
Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operation conditions
with relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application rates change over time as
equipment gets older and components wear. In particular, pump wear tends to reduce
operating pressure and flow. With continued use, nozzle wear results in an increase in
the nozzle opening which will increase the discharge rate while decreasing the wetted
diameter.
You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the design will
alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently the application
uniformity. For example, operating the system with excessive pressure results in smaller
droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the sprinkler nozzle. Clogging
of nozzles can result in pressure increase. PIugged 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 without having to perform additional
calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets, jars, or anything with a uniform opening
and cross-section can be used provided the liquid collected can be easily transferred to a
scaled container for measuring.
For stationary sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly throughout 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 out collection
containers 25 feet apart along the transect on both sides of the gun cart. You should
compute the average application rate for all 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.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN RECEIVED
UVr;Tr-'R nU'pUTy
Proper lagoon liquid management should be a year-round priority. It is especially
important to manage levels so that you do not have problems during extendedSIVIV81998
wet periods.
Nan-li�;�,�;re
Maximum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the a Parrrtif6n 9
receiving crop is dormant (such as wintertime for bermudagrass) or when there are
extended rainy spells such as the thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means
that at the first signs of plant growth in the later winter/early spring, irrigation according to
a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the land is dry enough to
receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet
periods. In the late summer/early fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the low
marker (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage. Every effort should be made to
maintain the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level. as Iong as the weather and waste
utilization plan will allow it.
Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before starting to
irrigate does not leave room for storing excess water during extended wet periods.
Overflow from the lagoon for any reason except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of
state law and subject to penalty action. `
The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following:
Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam.
Fescue or common bermudagrass are the most common vegetative
covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year, if needed, to
maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fertilizer applied should be
based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not practical to obtain
a soils test each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas
should be fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or
equivalent.
Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may be
done by mowing, spraying, grazing, chopping, or a combination of
these practices. This should be done at least once a year and
possibly twice in years that weather conditions are favorable for
heavy vegetative growth.
NOTE: If vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to enter
the lagoon water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating
the waste.
Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of
the lagoon and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. Items to be
checked should include, as a minimum, the following:
Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes ---look for:
1. separation of joints
2. cracks or breaks
3. accumulation of salts or minerals
4. overall condition of pipes

Lagoon surface ---look for:
1. undesirable vegetative growth
2. floating or lodged debris
Embankment ---look for:
I. settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes
2. side slope stability ---slumps or bulges
3. wet or damp areas on the back slope
4. erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result of wave action
5. rodent damage
Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong
winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon dam.
A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action. If
wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffles in the lagoon may be
used to reduce the wave impacts.
Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam. If your lagoon has
any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert 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 permanent solution should be reviewed by the
technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious
undertaking with potentiatly serious consequences and should not be conducted unless
recommended by an appropriate technical expert.
Transfer Pumps ---check for proper operation of:
1. recycling pumps
2. irrigation pumps
Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or grinding
noise, or a large amount of vibration, may indicate that the pump is in need or repair or
replacement.
NOTE: Pumping 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 will allow some
safety time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly full lagoon is not the time
to think about switching, repairing , or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is full,
your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an inventory of spare
parts or pumps.
Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface
drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets,
and parking lot runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste
treatment or storage structures. The only water that should be
coming from your lagoon is that which comes from your flushing
(washing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon directly.
You should inspect your diversion system for the following:
1. adequate vegetation
2. diversion capacity
3. ridge berm height

' Identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system
f during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to
determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts.
You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then
record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This will
give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain 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 surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the
lagoon from the surrounding land.
Lagoon Operation
Startup:
1. Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil
surfaces to avoid erosion.
�2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before
waste loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes.
3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender on the
end of the pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial
filling or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of
the lining.
4. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize
bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather).
5. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy
working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full lagoon
liquid volume. This seeding should occour at least two weeks prior to the
addition of wastewater.
6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below
7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of 1 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 recommended
if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm
season.
Loading:
The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the better the
lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily are
optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained
and recharged each day, also work well.

• Practice water conservation ---minimize building water usage and
r spillage from leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through
proper maintenance and water conservation.
Management:
Minimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This
will reduce the amount of solids entering the lagoon
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 level and the maximum liquid lever (Figure 2-1).
Start irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring based on
nutrient requirements and soil moisture so that temporary storage
will be maximized for the summer thunderstorm season. Similarly,
irrigate in the late summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon
storage for the winter.
The lagoon liquid level should never be closer than I foot to the lowest
point of the dam or embankment.
Do not pump the lagoon liquid level lower that the permanent storage
level unless you are removing sludge.
Locate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid
surface and as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible.
Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-stemmed forage or vegetation,
molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon.
Frequently remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or
wherever they are installed.
Maintain strict vegetation, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges.
Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embankment.
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 sizing,
mechanical solids separation of flushed waste,
gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or
minimizing feed wastage and spillage.
Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will:
have more nutrients,
have more odor, and
require more land to properly use the nutrients.
Removal techniques:
Hire a custom applicator.
Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper -agitator impeller
pump through large -bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland;
and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; mix remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator; haul
and spread onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; dredge sludge from lagoon with dragline or sludge barge; berm
an area beside lagoon to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back
into lagoon; allow sludge to dewater; haul and spread with manure spreader
onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste
constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different
nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields will be
limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field and crop
requirement. Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3.
When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent 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. Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus
and metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of
erosion. Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil -test phosphores, it
should be applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other
wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value.
The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site.
Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which
could increase the concern of neighbors.

i
Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure
Lagoon failures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure. Types
of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of the
darn. Assuming 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 structure ---an example is the placement of a pipe
in the dam without proper design and construction. (Consult an expert in
lagoon design before placing any pipes in dams.)
Lagoon liquid levels ---high levels are a safety risk.
Failure to inspect and maintain the dam.
Excess surface water 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: If lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving water will soon cause
gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly cause a large discharge
of wastewater and possible dam failure.

Telephone: [phone]
Type Operation: New Feeder to Finish Swine
Number of Animals: 2880.00 hogs

STORAGE STRUCTURE: Anaerobic Waste Treatment Lagoon
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,

may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed

5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and
downwind odor problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production
and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should
be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30
days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy.
Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and
reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. if
you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this
plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the
same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage
requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your
waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant
analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied.
Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible
so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type.
Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific
crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements
for compliance with 15A NCAG 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission.
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc,)
2880 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 5472 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
2880 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 6624 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.

Indicates that this field is being overseeded (i.e. interplanted) or
winter annuals follow summer annuals.
In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded
in bermudagrass), 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 to 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
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late
September or early October. Drilling is recommended over
broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a
height of about two inches before drilling for best results.

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 1065.6 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 5328
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 17.76 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 42.624 acres
of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25o depending on your
sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application
methods.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the
soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This
rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil_..
texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount
should not exceed the available water holding,capacity of the soil at the
time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed
the nitrogen needs of the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan,
it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure
that'an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres
shown in Ta,bles 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and

Your facility is designed for 180.00 days of temporary storage and
the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every
6.00 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste be stored
in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one

CONSERVATION PRACTICE STANDARD
Nutrient Management
(Acre)
Code 590
DEFINITION
Managing the amount, form, placement, and
timing of applications of nutrient fertilizer.
PURPOSE
To supply plant nutrients in amounts
dictated by soil test, or tissue analysis, or
accepted recommendations based on
realistic yield expectations or plant
perfor n--nce for an intended use
To minimize excessive nutrient application
while meeting a plant's performance based
requirement for a paricular nutrient
To minimize nutrient loss to surface and
ground water.
CONDITIONS WHERE PRACTICE
APPLIES
On lands where nutrients are applied. This
standard applies to management of nutrients
associated with organic waste, commercial
fertilizer, legume crops, and crop residues.
CRITERIA
1. Fertilizer source, time, and method of
application shall be planned to conform to
seasonal variation in plant uptake needs and
soil profile properties to optimize economic
return and minimize nutrient loss by
leaching or surface transport. Nitrogen or
phosphorous are the most critical nutrients
in planning for water quality.
2. Soil pH affects the availability of nutrients.
Use soil tests to adjust soil pH to the level
best suited for the crops being grown.
University crop production guides and the
North Carolina Agricultural Chemicals
590.1
Manual can also be consulted to find this
value.
Soil shall be tested every two years. As
deficiency of any of the 16 essential
elements will limit uptake and utilization of
other more environmentally active nutrients.
Sol] testing identifies these yield limiting
deficiencies as well as identifying
imbalances, excesses and levels potentially
toxic to plants.
4. Zinc and Copper levels in the soils shall be
monitored and alternative crop sites shall be
used when these metals approach excess
levels. Refer to Table 2 in Standard 633 for
threshold levels of these nutrients.
5. All sources and forms of plant nutrients
including carryover from legumes and
animal waste being made available for plant
growth and production shall be considered
in developing a nutrient management plan.
6. All animal waste products shall be analyzed
by the agronomic division of North Carolina
Department of Agriculture (NCDA) or other
acceptable laboratories and the
recommendations used to develop and
implement a nutrient management program.
Waste shall be tested within 60 days of
utilization. Unless otherwise required
nitrogen shall be the rate -determining
nutrient.
7. Establish a Realistic Yield Expectation
(R.Y.E_) for any crop to be fertilized. This
is accomplished by determining the mean of
the best three yields of the last five
consecutive crop harvests. If this
information is not available, R.Y.E. can be
established from specially developed soil
interpretation records for Nutrient

management planning, Farm Service
Agency records, university teals, or
inference from crop performance on soil
with very similar physical and chemical
features.
Application rates for nitrogen shall not
exceed the amount determined by the
R.T.E. concept. Application rates for all
other nutrients shall not exceed the amount
recommended in a soil test report or any
approved source of this information for any
nutrient targeted as a planning priority.
There are situations where a soil test report
would not make a recommendation (based
on economic return, i-e., a soil test index of
51), but an environmental problem would
not result until the index reached 200.
Where animal waste is involved, this
situation may be common. Even where
additional response is not expected, it
should be feasible to add amounts which
will be removed in the harvested crop
without significant degradation of the
environment.

JUNE. 1999

CONSIDERATIONS
This practice can reduce the likelihood
that applied nutrients would pollute
surface or ground water by limiting the
amount applied to only that needed.
Evaluate the vulnerability of
environmentally sensitive areas and
waters that have been stressed by the
presence of an over abundance of plant
nutrients.
Good tilth enhances water infiltration,
thus reducing nutrient removal through
soil erosion. Also adequate soil water is
necessary for efficient nutrient use.
Conservation practices that manage plant
residues should be considered, i.e.:
Residue Management, No -till (329)
Residue Management, Seasonal -(344)
Cover and Green Manure Crop (340)
Critical Area Planting (342)
Striperopping (585 and 586)
Cover crops can be used as scavengers to
take up excess plant nutrients applied in
the previous season to prevent their
movement out of the root zone. Very little
of the scavenged nutrients are available to
the following crop, (usually <15% of the N
taken up). They should be harvested for
maximum benefit.
Organic wastes can provide an important
source of nutrients. State and local
regulations, the MRCS Agriculture Waste
Management Field Handbook, North
Carolina Cooperative Extension Service
(NCCES) Crop Production Guides, North
Carolina State University (NCSU)
Agricultural Chemical Manual, soil test
and waste analysis reports will provide
guidance coneeming waste utilization.
5. Sources of plant nutrients may include
residual amounts in the soil, crop residues
including legumes, waste products, and
commercial fertilizer. Commercial
5 90-4
fertilizers are those products with a
guaranteed analysis under North Carolina
law.
6. Forage plants being used for nitrogen
uptake should be selected based on their
adaptation to the soil. Plants not adapted
to a site .sill have a short life and
maintaining a vigorous stand will be
difficult.
Plant tissue samples should be taken to
evaluate nutrient status and to support the
need for additional nutrient applications.
Excessive concentrations of one or more
nutrients may induce deficiencies. Soil
pl Lshould be maintained in the optimum
range for each crop to improve
availability of soil and applied nutrients
and to minimize the release of potentially
toxic elements.
C Factors from RUSLE can be more
effective in controlling water runoff than
LS and P Factors. C Factors effect root
distribution, soil temperature and a host
of other variables. Numerically low C
Factors buffer yields from climatic
variations most likely by improving
moist -,ire status in the soil. The same C
Factors can increase the likelihood of
leaching Iosses. Consider the
environmental impact from increased
leaching.
10. Consider waste storage and treatment
needs to meet application timing as well
as land area requirements for proper waste
utilization.
11. Water table management through
controlled drainage reduces the movement
of nutrients by reducing total outflow
from a managed area and it also promotes
denitrification.

waterways have little N retention
capacity. Grassed waterways do little to
reduce nutrients and sediments lost from
fields_ Based on the most likely pollutant
sources for a site, consider specific
practices v.,hich are most likely to reduce
offsite movement of those pollutants.
13. Loss of nitrogen from the soil is
dependent upon climate, soil, and
fertilizer application program. Normally,
with adequate soil moisture, nitrogen loss
potential can be reduced by applying
nitrogen fertilizer close to the time of
greatest crop demand. Split applications
may be needed to accomplish this.
Ammonium forms are taken up by plants
in significant amounts as nitrate within
days after application for most crops.
PLAINS AND SPECMCATIOI S
Establish realistic yield goals based on soil
map units and the Soil Interpretation
Records, or historical yield data, or compute
by crop and soil combination the mean yield
of the three highest yields of the last five
consecutive crops.
2. DeveIop a nutrient management plan for the
crops to be grown. Account for the residual
amount of nutrients in the soil and crop
residue. including legumes add estimated
nutrients from anticipated organic waste
applications, and then determine the amount
of fertilizer needed to meet the nutrient
needs of the proposed crop and target yield.
Specify the crop, crop rotation, and kind,
source, application time and amount of pIant
nutrients that will be used to meet the crop
fertility needs. Identify the priority nutrient
or nutrients.
3. If non-farrn organic waste is to be used, it
shall be analyzed for content and applied as
prescribed 5y federal, state, or local
regulations_ Appropriate documentation of
amounts applied should be maintained.
4. Frequency of soil test, waste analysis, and
plant tissue test shall be specified and
conform with this standard.
S. Credit for nitrogen contributions from
legume crops in rotation shall be consistent
with land grant university
recommendations.
6. Use the ".Leaching index for Soluble
Nutrients" procedure or other detailed
guidelines from land grant universities to
evaluate groundwater pollution potential in
conjunction with the water budget for the
location.
7. All specifications will be consistent with
state and local regulations.
8. A nutrit-tit budget will be developed that
show3 sources (soil residual, crop residues,
organic waste, chemical fertilizer, and
legume crops) and required amount(s) of
nutrient(s) for the crop to be grown, Use
the Nutrient Budget Worksheet (Exhibit
590-1 & 2) to document recommendations.
Indicate the priority planning nutrient(s) on
the worksheet. The worksheet shall show
the form of fertilizer to be used and the
application rates and method shall be
specified.
9. Nutrient application rates other than
nitrogen on agricultural land shall be based
on soil test and waste analysis, consistent
with the NCDA or NCSU
recommendations.
10. Nitrogen rates should be based on realistic
crop yield expectation's and shall consider
all sources of nutrients that may be
available as outlined in the attached nutrient
budget worksheet.
11. The following items should be included.

SUBJECT: Crop Management Practices for Select Forages
Used in Waste Management
The following is a four -page summary of suggestions for rrunzgement practices t-or some:
forage crops that can be used in AklaStc managerent plans. 'These suggestions are a result of
discussions within the NC State University Forage Production Workgroup, a group comp; ns d.
of NC State faculty and MRCS agency personnel with expertise with the crops.
There are limited documented research responses of some of these practices on tlir- many soils
and environments where these crops are currently being grown. The Forage Production
Workgroup has taken the available data and used the combined experiences and realistic
estimates of key people to come up With suggestions that will allow farrners to incorporate
these crops and practices into waste management plans. As data become available to
substantiate or refute' these suggestions, the Forage Production Workgroup will make
appropriate changes.
Bermuda 4verseeded With Cereal Rye and Annual Ryegrass
Cttrrently Two types of "ryegrass" are being used for winter overseeding in fields used for
animal waste management. Cereal rj,.is a winter annual smallgrain that looks similar to
wheat, barley and oats. Annual eras, is a winter annual grass that looks much like tall
fescue. Both of these grasses, when growing duruig the winter on bermuda sod, can have
significant impact on subsequent berrnuda yields. In effect, the total yields from an acre
growing the combination of bermuda with these winter annuals will usually yield between 1-2
tons more per acre than bermuda growing alone for the year. Therefore, the total amount of
PAN /acre for the year is about 100 lbs more than for bermuda alone. Although cereal rye and
annual ryegrass are suitable crops for overseeding, the management of the crops are different
and thus practices implemented are dependent on the crop selected-

o%•erseeded v.'ith cereal • rve must be reduced in accordance with FRCS Technical
Standard ts590.
Annual Ryegz~ass
Annual ryegass should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter
growth. The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling ryegrass into short (less than 3
inches tall) bermudagra_s sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on shorT
berrnuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate
for broadcast planting of seeds -should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last
application ' of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior. to August 31. An
application of 50 lbs/acre of (PAN) may be applied between September 15 and October 30_
An additional 50 lbs/acre of PAN may be applied in February -March. If additional PAN' is
applied to the ryegrass in April -May, the PAN rate for the bermuda most be reduced by a
corresponding amount. This is necessary because ryegrass growth during April-I'May will
reduce bernutda yields and shorten the time bermuda can fully utilize the N. A harvest is
required by heading or April 7, which ever comes first to prevEnt shading of emerging
bermuda during April -May period. To favor the production of the bermuda, additional
harvests of ryegrass will be required when the ryegrass canopy reaches 12 to 15 inches height_
The PAN' rate for grazed systems with bermuda overseeded with annual ryegrass must be
reduced in accordance with NRCS Technical Standard #590.

ha1-vtstinv or crazing management of the Winter aftilual crops during February -April would b,

grazed be low 6-8 inches stubble.
Application rates are to be based on the realistic N rates that address the N needs per ton of
hay, a realistic yield and an appropriate application window. When harvested as hay in the 24-
36 inch stage of growth, the N rate ranges from 40-50 lbs/ton of dry matter. The PAN rate for
grated systems must be reduced in accordance with NRCS Technical Standard 4590.
The application window for gam-rass is slightly earlier than for bermuda; gamagrass starts
growing about 3-4 weeks earlier than Coastal bermudagrass and about 2-3 weeks earlier than
Tifton 44. Gamagrass is dormant from frost to March. The last application of PAN in the
summer should be prior to August 31_
Rescuegrass (Le. Afatua)
Rescuegrass is a cool season grass and makes most of its gTowth from March -June and
September -November. It should receive most of its N during tine September -October and late• - -
February through May months. Lirruted data are available for realistic yields of rescuegrass
on various soils and at various N levels in North Carolina. However, until further data is
collected the following suggestions may be useful-
1.. On Sandy, well drained to excessively drained soils, rescuegrass may yield 1.5- 3 times
fescue, assuming a uniform and dense stand of grass is present.

Dear Mr. Shepard:
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study Commission on
Agricultural Waste, was enacted by the North Carolina General Assembly on June 21, 1996. This bill
requires that a certified operator be designated as the Operator in Charge (OIC) by January 1, 1997, for each
animal waste management system that serves 250 or more swine, 100 or more confined cattle, 75 or more
horses, 1,000 or more sheep, or 30,000 or more confined poultry with a liquid animal waste management
system. Our records indicate that your facility is registered with the Division of Water Quality and meets
the requirements for designating an OIC.
A training and certification program is available for animal waste management system operators. For
information on the training programs please contact your local Cooperative Extension Agent. Operator
certifications are issued by the Water Pollution Control Systems Operators Certification Commission
(WPCSOCC). For information on the certification process, please contact the Technical Assistance and
Certification Unit at [phone]. The type of training and certification required for the operator of each
system is based on the nature of the wastes to be treated and the treatment process(es) primarily used to treat
the animal waste. There are two types of animal waste management systems, type A and type B. Type A
animal waste management systems are generally used to treat waste generated by monogastric animals
which produce a low -fiber waste. Type B animal waste management systems are generally used to treat
waste generated by ruminants and other animals which produce a high -fiber waste. The type of training and
certification an operator receives should correspond with the type of system(s) they intend to operate. For
more information on the classification of your system please contact the Technical Assistance and
Certification Unit.
As the owner of an animal operation with an animal waste management system, you must designate an
Operator in Charge and must submit the enclosed designation form to the WPCSOCC. If you do not
intend to operate your animal waste management system yourself, you must designate an employee or
engage a contract operator to be the Operator in Charge. The person designated as the Operator in Charge,
whether yourself or another person, must possess a currently valid certificate of the appropriate type.
Sincerely,
