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

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.

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 available storage capacity is negative, the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design storage volume of the structure. This indicates that the planned application interval in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the structure's temporary storage capacity.

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 fold 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 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.------------ 233288 Database Version 1.05 Date Printed: 03-01-2001 Specification Page 1 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. 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 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 233288 Database Version 1.05 Date Printed: 03-01-2001 Specification Page 2 applied ar agronomic rates in a manner that causes not runoff or drift from site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, and erosion. 19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption, it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require ---------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 233288 Database Version 1.05 Date Printed: 03-01-2001 Specification Page 3 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 a minimum of five years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 233288 Database Version 1.05 Date Printed: 03-01-2001 Specification Page 4 Crop Notes The following crop note applies to field(s): 7, 8 Fescue: Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, Poorly Drained to Somewhat Poorly Drained. Adaptation: Moderate to Marginal. In the Coastal Plain, tall fescue can be planted Sept. 1 to Oct. 15 (best) and Feb. 15 to Mar. 20. For pure -stand broadcast seedings use 20 to 30 lb/ac., for drilled use 15 to 20 Ib/ac. seed. Use certified seed to avoid introducing weeds or annual ryegrass. Plant seed 0.25" to 0.5" deep for pure stands, 0.25" in mixture with clovers. Tall fescue will tolerate soil wetness but not flooding or prolonged saturation; use ladino clover for mixtures on these soils. Soil test for preplant and maintenance lime, phosphorus, and potassium recommendations. Apply 40 to 601b/ac nitrogen at planting for pure stands only. Do not apply N for mixtures with clovers but use proper legume inoculation techniques. Apply 150 to 200 Ib/ac. N to pure -stand fescue for hay production; reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Apply N Feb. 1 to Mar. 20 and Aug. 20 to Sept. 30, with equal amounts in each window. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for additional information or consult your regional agronomist or extension agent for assistance. The following crop note applies to field(s): 5, 6 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 I - 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): 5, 6 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 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. --------------------------------------------------------- _-...--------------------------------------------------------------- 233288 Database Version 1.05 Date Printed: 03-01-2001 Crop Note Page 1 Reduce N rates by 25% for grazing.

Carter Farm 116 Carter Drive Evergreen NC 28438 Subject: Notification for Wettable Acre Determination Animal Waste Management System L.C. Carter Farm Facility Number 24-66 Columbus County Dear London Carter: 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 Audrey Oxendine on 3/31/99 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: 19 The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing John College the necessary information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre determination. Please submit this information to John College, 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 John College at (910) 395-3900. If within 90 days you are unable to provide John College 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. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-16I7 Telephone 919-733-5083 Fax 919-715-6048 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10%a post -consumer paper Notification for Wettable Acre Determination Animal Waste Management System Page 2 Category 2: ❑ 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 DWQ within the next 160 days. If the needed modifications are not made and if the form is not returned within the required time, DWQ will be forced to take.appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation, and/or injunctive relief. Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan must be kept at your facility. DWQ 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.

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, DRY1, DRY2, DRYS, SLUR1, SLUR2, SLD1, 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.

During this visit, it was observed that: 1. Ruts and bare areas in spray fields had been corrected. 2. Lagoon wall had been reworked and reseeded. During the visit, it was also observed that much of the inner lagoon wall still lacks a good vegetative cover. In addition, some undercutting on the inner lagoon wall was observed. As we discussed, these problems should be corrected as soon as possible. 127 North Cardinal Dr., Wilmington, North Carolina 29405 'Telephone 910-395-3900 FAX 9I0-350-2004 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycledil0% post -consumer paper London Carter January 20, 1998 Page 2 When the required work is complete, notify this office in writing at the address -below.

Carter Farm Facility Number: 24-66 Columbus County Dear Mr. Carter: On January 13, 1998, staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality inspected your animal operation and the lagoon serving this operation. During the inspection, a hog carcass was observed in your lagoon. As we discussed, the carcass should be removed immediately and disposed of according to NCDA guidelines. Actions should also be taken to ensure that the improper disposal of animal carcasses does not occur in the future. During the inspection, it was also observed that your lagoon had less than 19 inches of available freeboard. While no discharge of waste was observed to waters of the State at the time of inspection, any rainfall event could likely result in the discharge of waste from the lagoon. The level of your lagoon should be lowered and maintained in accordance with the NRCS guidelines and the state 2H .0200 rules governing animal waste management systems. USDA-NRCS guidelines require a minimum of one foot and seven inches of freeboard. This is based on the amount of storage space needed to contain a 25-year, 24 hour design storm event without a discharge. NRCS requirements also specify that animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops and that 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. 127 North Cardinal Dr., Wilmington, North Carolina 28405 Telephone 910-395-3900 FAX 9I0-350-2004 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper London Carter January 20, 1998 Page 2 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 have been taken to correct this deficiency. Failure to do so may result in the facility losing its deemed 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 waste water to the surface waters of the State without a permit. The Division of Water Quality has the authority to levy a civil penalty of not more than $10,000 per day per violation. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please call Andy Helminger, Dave Holsinger, or Brian Wrenn at 910-395-3900. Sincerely, CLIIL--L� J6. Andrew G.

The plan is based on the s[l i I types, crops to be :grown, and method of application for your particular operation. The waste roust be land applied at a specified rate to prevent po I I ut i on of surface and/or" ground water-. The plant nutrients in the animal waste sh<,uld be used to reduce the amount of commercial fert i I i zer" required for the crops where the waste is tc, tie applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle and annual soil tests are encouraged so that all plant nutr" i ents 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 fer-t i l i zer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs :if the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen thar, the crap can uti I ize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates and leaching potential. Waste shall not be applied to and eroding at greater- than F tens per acre per year. Do oat apply waste or, saturated s-j i I s or on land when the surface is frozen. E i ther of these c and i t i -ins may r-esu I t in runoff to surface waters. Wind conditions should also be considered to ava i d dr i ft and d,:,wr,w i rid odor prob I ern5. To maximize the value of nutrients for crap pr-oduc t i on and to reduce the potential f0t_ pry l I ut i on, the waste should be app l i ed to a growing crop or - not more than (_► days prior_ to p l ant i ng. So i I incorporation of waste will conserve nutrients and reduce odor- Arab I erns.

Phil Creech (24-12) was sent a Second Notice of Deficiency for insufficient freeboard after a 1/7/98 follow up inspection. During this inspection, several other deficiencies were noted including spraying without the supervision of a certified operator, the ponding of waste on saturated soils, and the leaking of waste from irrigation piping into an adjacent drainage path. Mr. Creech was given fourteen (14) days to complete all corrective actions. Our records indicate this Notice was received on 1/17/98. Thus, all deficiencies should be corrected by 1/31/98. Ricky Barnes (24-93) was sent a Follow Up Letter after a 1/7/98 inspection of E&R Farms. Although progress had been made on correcting the deficiencies observed last year, the inner lagoon wall still needed a good vegetative cover. Although no specific completion date was given for this work, Mr. Barnes was informed that the required corrective actions should be finished as soon as possible. 1Londbh Cart r (24466)jwas sent a Notice of Deficiency for insufficient freeboard and improper animal disposal after a 1/13/98 follow up inspection. Mr Carter was given fourteen (14) days to complete all corrective actions. Our records indicate this Notice was postmarked on 1/20/97. Thus, all deficiencies should be corrected by no later than 2/6/98.. Mr. Carter was also sent a Follow Up Letter stating that bare areas and undercutting on the lagoon wall should be corrected.
