We greatly appreciate the effort that you made in compiling this information and sending it to our Wilmington Regional Office by the date required. We also appreciate the fact that you reported the problem with high freeboard to our staff as required by your permit and worked with our staff to manage the problem once it occurred. Upon review and consideration of the information submitted, the Wilmington Regional Office has determined that no further compliance/enforcement actions will be taken by the Division for these high freeboards. Also, based on your actions to properly operate your facility, the Division of Water Quality hereby rescinds the Notice of Violation that was issued to you on April 15, 2003 and replaces it with this Notice of Deficiency. In the future, please continue to evaluate ways to maintain freeboard levels in the required range. These methods include, but are not limited to, water conservation practices, adding additional application sites, updating your cropping systems, adding additional and/or more flexible application equipment, and maintaining the lagoon levels at the lowest allowable and appropriate levels throughout the year. Our staff looks forward to continuing to work with you and your Technical Specialist to evaluate and implement any needed changes to your system.

Ross Jr., Secretary Department of Environment and Natural Resources Alan W. Klimek, P.E. Director Division of Water Quality On March 23, 2003, a representative of your animal operation informed the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) that there was inadequate freeboard in the lagoon(s) serving this facility. This lack of adequate freeboard is in non-compliance with the Certificate of Coverage issued to this facility on December 2, 1997. In addition to this Notice of Violation (NOV), this non-compliance is subject to an appropriate enforcement action by DWQ. This action can consist of one or more of the following: a civil or criminal enforcement action; an injunction; and/or a requirement to apply for coverage under an individual permit. The action chosen will be based on complete evaluation of all factors that resulted in the inadequate freeboard; the actions taken to. restore the needed freeboard; and the actions being proposed to prevent the problem from reoccurring. To assist us in our review, please provide the Wilmington Regional Office with an evaluation of the reasons for the freeboard violation(s) and a strategy to prevent future freeboard violation(s).

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, Nitrogen Comm.

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 the available storage capacity is ,greater than the design storage capacity, this indicates that the plan calls far 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.

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 drif from the land application field. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 866320 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 05-24-2002 Specification Page 1 of 4 G. 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. g. 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 866320 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 05-24-2002 Specification Page 2 of 4 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. 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,1reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 2o. 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 866320 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 05-24-2002 Specification Page 3 of 4 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 a minimum of five years. 23.

It was introduced about 150 years ago from South America and can be found in pastures, hay meadows, field edges and along roadsides in many areas. One may find that prairiegrass is classified as Bromus cc,CRarttCZ;s, Vahl„ B. ivillder:owii, Kunth or B. ztnOloides, H.B.K. kLtua is a "narr:ed variety" j1-:si as " Kentucky 31" is a narned variety of tall fescue and is classified as B. willderrowii. It may sometimes be called "Grasslands Nfatua" because that is the official name given to it by the \e%v Z:..fland Research Division of AgResearch in I973. In the 1950's there was a local selectior, of rescuegrass named "Chapel Hill"; it was especially subject to the disease called powdery mildew. Identification Characteristics Prairiegrass is a:-i erect, bunch grass that grows up to three feet tall when seed heads (inflorescence) are present. It is a perennial, but performs much lire an annual in this environ-ment. It will produce seedheads during each regrowth period of three to six weeks, especially froth April through October. The seedhead is an open, drooping panicle with flat 50i�Kelt:S, enc[} cor,ia; ?g 6 to 12 florets (seeds). The s -ea_hs are rolled in oval shape, and the leaves are flat or slightly folded; the basal leaf shy-aths are covered w'-,h many fine hairs. Leaves are 114 to inch w; de and may be LID to 18 in-, C?es lor:Q. It has no auricles, but the ligule is long, membranous and fringed. Possible Uses Prair ievrass is highly palatable and may be used for grazing, hay or silaQz. Most animals (cunle. goats, horses, sheep and wildlife) will eat it well and animal performance potential is good to e�e:llent. IX -'hen given access to a field containing prairiegrass in mixture with fescu7. orchard! sass, or bermudagrass cattle tend to select it over the others. gz_-cause of lrs seasonal grow-ti`1 paiLem and response to moisture and fertility ii is useful i:'z cropping systerns "here confinement animal wastes are land applied. It offers an alterria.tive to it nual rvearass and cereals for winter forage, with the added advantage that it is more productive liter into the summer than all of the winter annuals. Prairiegrass may be gro�.vn with clovers and alfalfa, but it may become very competitive if growth is not harvested or grazed in a timely -way. Adaptation and Perform ance"Characteristics Soils... Prairiegrass is best adapted to well drained coarser textured soils (sandy loam, loamy sand, loam), however it will grow well on fine textured soils that are well drained. It is not as productive nor competitive on poorly drained soils as on well drained soils. It does not do as well as bahia and bermuda on droughty soils, but it is better adapted than fescue, orchardgrass or annual rye;rass. It responds to moisture and high fertility when the stands are dense. Seasonal growth pattern... The seasonal growth pattern for prairiegrass is somewhat similar to tall fescue and arwuaI ryegrass with more than half of the annual yield produced in the March- Ju Ie period. During December through February it produces slightly more than tall fescut and annual ryegrass. Summer growth of the cool season grasses is not usually significant, but prairiegrass s. ems to be more productive than others (such as tall fescue and orchardgrass) when moisture is available. Summer production is not nearly as much as with bermudagrass, crabgrass, sudangrass, millet, bluesterns, sw•itchgrass or gamagrass. Summer growth will always produce seedheads after three to six weeks of regrowth, whereas, fescue and orchard¢rass will r_ot have seedheads after the spring growth is harvested. Realistic Yield Expectations... Yields ofpure stands of prairiegrass usually range from 3 to 5 tons dry matter per acre, but may be higher when dense stands are supplied with favorable 1?:oisture and nutrients. There are virrually no documented data available for realistic yields of prairiegrass on many soils and at various N levels in North Carolina. Until further data are collected, the following suggestions may be useful for estimating expected yields for dense stands of prairiegrass grown alone or in mixti:re with bermuda. Pure stands...There are very limited comparisons of pure stands of prairiegrass with other species, especially when the prairiegrass was allowed to reseed. The data in tables 1--4 con. -pare it %vith other cool season grasses in tests where reseeding was not allowed. Results for the first year of each test may give an indication of haw it would perform with 5ull stands; second and triird year results were poor because stands always thinned in absence of reseeding. %1,7han estimating pote;:tial RYE for pure stands of prairiegrass consider the following corn: oarisons tall fescue: A. On soils where both fescue and prairiegrass are well adapted, the vitIds of prairiegrass may be I to 1.5 times more than fescue ~ B. On sand%, well drained, to excessively drained soils, prairiegrass may yield 1.5 to 3 tirr:es more that tall fescue. C. On wet or poorly drained soils, prairiegrass may yield .75 to 1.0 times as much as fescue. Mixed stands with bermudaarass.. Prairiegrass makes more than half its annual growth in March -June and another 15-25% during the Se; tember-December period, whereas benP+.uda makes Most of its growth in June -August. Therefore these species will compete for nutrients and light during the months of overlap, and management during those periods can shift the botanical a 11.:9Lr::-r!4::.3 _caa W?o composition significantly. The annual yield of this mixture (prairiegrass-bermuda) growing on adapted soils will not be additive of each species grown alone. However, a general guide is that the mixture will likely yield 1.3 to 1.6 times as much as bermuda grown alone; this means yields of well maintained mixtures may range from 4 to 8 tons/acre on productive soils receiving adequate moisture and timely harvest management. Nutrient composition.. The nutritive value of the forage is strongly related to prior fertilization and the age or stage of growth at time of harvest or grazing. When harvested at vegetative to early heading stage of growth the protein content of prairiegrass may range from 12 to 18 % and the TDv may range from 60 to 72 %. The nutritive value of prairie?rass sterns/seedheads tends to decline slightly slower than other cool season grasses, but very mature plants may contain less than 10% protein and 55% TDv. When grown with bermudagrass, the composition, of the mixture will be somewhat Iess due to the relatively lower nutritive value of the bermudagrass component. Disease... Prairiegrass will often (most every spring) be infected with a disease called powdery mildew. To minimize the impact of this disease, it is best to immediate[y mow or graze the affected growth to a 3 to 4 inch stubble. Often the mildew is more pronounced on "old" vegetation, therefore mowing or grazing schedules may have to be modified to address the problem.. There are no pesticides registered in the USA to control this disease on forage crops. Establishment Planting dates.. The optimum time to plant is September -October, but its possible to get stands (with rriore risk) in November and March. Planting on prepared seedbed in early September'Will ttsuatty r--sCl[t in more fall growth, however seedlings ca: be stressed and killed when moisture is severely limiting. If planting into bermudagrass sod, consideration has to be made for the competitior from the existing bermuda. Even though bermuda may not be growir:g raoidly during September, the evapotranspiration rate can mean limsting of soil moisture for' young seedlings. To minimize this effect, one can plant in October when bermuda is not very competitive. It is possible to plant into bermuda sod in September if moisture is not limiting or if bermirda too gro%tith is killed with a contact herbicide like Grannoxone. Planting depth... Prairiegrass establishment is very sensitive to planting depth (optimum is 1/4. to `,'-_ inch). tilany thin and poor stands have been caused by planting too deep. Planting method... Establishment may be obtained by planting into a completely prepared seedbed or by no -till planting into closely clipped or grazed sod. Drilling seeds to proper depth improves the odds of obtaining good stands. However, broadcast seeding onto completely prepared seedbed, followed by rolling with a cultipacker has given satisfactory stands. Seedling development and early growth rates will be better from prepared seedbeds than from no -till Planting into sod, especially bermudagrass sod. D'Dur�QO,.J.cfln'Acscscy:m n g'-CCO w'7 When planting into sod, it is essential that the existing sod be short (less than 3-inches) with very little surface "thatch" which prevents seed contact with the soil. If sod planting into actively growinc, bermuda it will be necessary to "temporarily stunt" the bermuda with a herbicide or light cultivation as a -way to reduce competition for light and moisture. Be aware that this option adds a level of risk into the survival of the bermuda, especially if late summer N and K managernent are out of balance or an insect outbreak occurs. Planting in October or after the bermuda has been "frosted" will mean very little growth of prairiegrass before spring. Planting rates... seeds are large (about 35,000-50,000 seeds/lb), compared to tall fescue or rvegrass (275,000-250,000) and seedling vigor is not proportionally better. Plant 30-35 lbs when drilling, but 35-40 when broadcasting on surface and roiling. As with any species, if conditions (planting date, soil contact, depth, moisture) are not optimum, consider increasing seeding rates up to 50 percent. Volunteer reseeding... Even though prairiegrass is considered a "perennial" it practically performs as an annual. To maintain productive stands for several years it will be necessary to manage of least one arowth cycle each year for seed production and shatter. Seed -set may be encouraged anytime from May through August, however mid-sutnmer seed production tends to m n;,nize the arnoura of loss in forage quality/yield since it is a time when the plant naiurally makes less foliage growth; plenty of seed should be produced in June -July. Obtaining successful Volunteer stands will depend on seed viability and control of competition from other established Grasses during the September through October period. Germinating seeds and developing seed! ings will need to receive sunlight and moisture to survive. If prairiegrass is being Grown on bertTudagrass it will be necessary to graze or mow the bermuda closely in early September. There will be an advantage to lightly disturbing the soil surface to provide some soil to seed Contact to many Years. Fertilization .'lane people have said that 700 to 300 lbs of Nitrogen can be taken up by "ivlatua"; uptake and plant survival of such rates are only part of the story. It is true that the grass tray survive such r17es, bW C"Op UpMke c.nd efficiency of Nitrogen recovery are strongly related to dry ma?er -ields of any crop. W-hen considering a realistic yield that can be expected in this environment and r,.anage=nen=. scheme, it is likely that such rates would result in significant losses of N to the .nvir, )cL-en:. There is no controlled and documented evidence that shows it is practical to apply c=� rates to an; crop in '--,,C nor elsewhere. Even in controlled greenhouse trials, the N recov-zr,•- efficiencies drop significantly when N applications were above 250 to 400 lbs/acre;'year. PrairieQrass, like most other cool season grasses will perform best when pH is above 5.0 and P and K index are mediurn or better. The P and K composition in tissue is similar to other grasses, however when high rates are being applied to land, all grasses will take up "luxury" amounts of h: K composition is usually similar to N composition in most forage grasses. Accor,:ling to reports from Pennsylvania prairiegrass may contain lower levels of ce La=.n trace e!ernents sllCII as magnes[um and iodine than other cool season grasses. O'p,;aaCOiC-LaC'dlmg '!ZCOW?o 4 Pure Stands ...prairiegrass responds to high fertility, especially when moisture is available. However, its Nitrogen composition may be more similar to ryegrass than tall fescue or orchardarass; this means that it may contain about 45 to 55 lbs N/ton dry- matter, depending on timing of fertilizer applications, age or stage of plant growth and presence of powdery mildew disease. It should receive most of its N during the September -October and late February through May months. Consider the following N management for dense pure stands: A. At establishment of the prairiegrass (fall planting) apply between 60-75 lbs N/acre. B. On established stands of prairiegrass and ones that have resel-ded satisfactorily, apply about 75-100 lbs ofN/acre during the September through November period; it would be best to apply most of the N early in this season (September -early October) and hold the amount applied in November to below 50 lbs/acre. C. During December and January do not apply any N, unless there was none or very little applied during the September through November period, then consider applying less than 20 lbs/acre . D. ' During the February through May period apply no more than 60-75 lbs N per application and no more than this amount during any 30 day period. It would be best to apply less than the 60 lbs/acre in February, unless plants are showing signs of dericieney or growing conditions are favorable for rapid plant arowTh. E. During the June through August period prairiegrass may continue growing if moisture is available. Durina these "off months", prairiegrass should not receive more than about 25 lbs Ni/acre/month, not to exceed the annual rate of 45-53 lbs/ton of dry matter per acre. Only apply 25 lbs N/acre in June -August if the equivalent of 1-inch of water or rainfall can be applied at the same. time. If the crop does not respond with at least 1000 lbs of growth within a 3-4 week period do not mate another application until the plants have had the opportunity to ro-ake adequate regrowth. In _Mixture with bermuda.., the following assumes that the annual N rate is related to RYE for b:—n-n :da, and the mixttue is being managed for about 40% of the annual yield from bermuda and a`poL:t 60a,a From the prairiegrass. N uptake is closely related to grow-th, therefore do not apply high ra:--s during months when the plants are not growing much. A. At establislu-rent of the prairiegrass (fall planting) apply between 60-75 lbs N/acre. B. On established stands of prairiegrass growing on bermuda during the September through November period apply about 75-100 lbs of N/acre; it would be best to apply most of the N early in this season and hold the an.ouat applied in Nov; to below 50 lbs/acre. ui ..% 764t1 u7:) C. During December and January do not apply any N, unless there was none or very little applied during the September through November period, then consider applying less than 20 Ibs/acre . D. During the February to October period apply no more than 60-75 lbs N per application and no more than this amount during any 30 day period. It would be best to apply less than the 601bs/acre in February, unless plants are showing signs of deficiency or growing conditions are favorable for rapid plant growth. E. During the June through August period a minimum of 60 to 73 Ibs/acre should be available for the bermuda component of the mixture. This does not preclude higher rates is the summer of years when the spring growth of prairiegrass was not as productive as expected and the manager has chosen to shift more of the annual N to the summer months. The key is that total N/acre for the year should not exceed RYE levels ofbermuda + prairiegrass (1.3 to 1.6 times RYE for bermuda Harvest Management Hay or silage .... Prairie ass should be cut in the Late boot to early heading stage to provide rapid regrowth and relatively high nutritive value. It should be cut Ieaving a 3 to 4-inch stubble because reserve energv storage necessary for regrowth and new tiller buds are located above the soil surface. Nfaintaining a mixture of prairiegrass and berm, udagrass will depend largely on t_he timing of .1N applications and harvest schedules. Managing the mixture will require one to favor the prairiegrass cutting height since it is much less tolerant of close cutting than bennuda_ Harvests will need to be made prior to full heading stage in April -May to minimize the shading of the bermuda, which will just be initiating spring green -up. It will be imperative to keep the prairiegrass harvested in such a way that it does not completely shade the bermuda. During the summer prairiegrass stands are usually "open" enough that bermuda does not receive significant shading. When seed -set is desired the harvest should be after seeds have fully formed and are brown and easy to shatter as one walks through the field. Usually it takes about 40-50 days for new. growth to produce viable seeds; this will depend on temperature and moisture durnng the regrowth period. Seeds produced in spring are usually larger and more -vigorous than those produced in late summer. Grazing... Prairiegrass should be rotationally grazed when it reaches a height of 10 to 14 inches and should not be grazed below a 3) to 4 inch stubble. Depending on the temperature and soil moisture it may be ready to regraze every 14 to 45 days, except in middle of summer and winter: ❑ my :COO, W PO 6 3I-0(o(p RECEIVED 1 DENR 1 DWQ Aquifer %tertion Section APR 0 6 2009 Nutrient Management Plan For Animal Waste Utilization This plan has been prepared for: Charles Edwards A3166 Charles Edwards, A 507 Cedar Fork Church Rd Beulaville, YVC 28518 910-298-5421 05-24-2002 This plan has been developed by: Billy W Houston Duplin Soil & PVater PO Box 219 Kenansville, NC 28349 910-296-2120 Deve oper Signature Type of Plan: Nitrogen Only with Manure Only qF BY: R 1 4 lOQ9 Owner/Manager/Producer Agreement I (we) understand and agree to the specifications and the operation and maintenanc procedures established in this nutrient management plan which includes an animal waste utilization plap for the farm named above.

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.

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 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.

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. Z. 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, MRCS 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 drif from the land application field. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 866320 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 05-24-2002 Specification Page 1 of 4 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding (see "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance). 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor and flies. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the 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. 866320 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 05-24-2002 Specification Page 2 of 4 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. 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. t8. 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. 2o. 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 866320 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 05-24-2002 Specification Page 3 of 4 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 a minimum of five years. 23.

It was introduced about 150 years ago from South America and can be found in pastures, hay meadows, field edges and along roadsides in many areas. One may find that prairiegrass is classified as Bromus CC'[th 7rfir_zts, Vahl„ B. ivillderoivii, Kuntr; or B. unioloides, H.B.K. Nlatua is a "nam:.d variety" it:st as " Kentucky 3 1" is a named variety of tall fescue and is classified as B. willdeno"vii. It may sometimes be called "Grasslands Nlatua" because that is the official name given to it by the New Zealand Research Division of AgResearch in 1973. In the 1950's there was a local selectio111 of rescuegrass named "Chapel Hill"; it was especially subject to the disease called pov%idery mildew. Identification Characteristics Prairiegrass is an erect, bunch grass that grows up to three feet tall when seed heads (inflorescence.) are present. It isa perennial, but performs much like an annual in this envirorLmerit. It will produce seedheads during each regrowth period of three to six weeks, especially from April tl rough October. The seedhzad is an open, drooping panicle with flat soikelets, each containing 6 to 12 florets (seeds). Th:. sb.ea,lls are rolled in oval shape, and the leaves are flat or slightly folded; the basal leaf sh-!arh5 are covered with many fine hairs. Leaves are 1 /4 to '/ inch kvide and may be up to IS ir.ches long. It has no auricles, but the ligule is long, membranous and fringed. Possible Uses Prairiegrass is highly palatable and may be used for grazing, hay or silage. Nlost animals (carle. goats, hors--s, sheep and wildlife) will eat it well and animal performance potential is good to excellent. When given access to a field containing prairiegrass in mixture with fescue orchardgrass, or bermudagrass cattle tend to select it over the others. Because of its seasonal Qro%%-th pattern and response to moisture and fertility it is usefu! in cropping systems %`:here confinement animal wastes are land applied. It offers an alternative to annual ryegrass and ce-eats for winter forage, with the added advantage that it is more product' . e !ace.- into the summer than all of the winter annuals. prairiegrass may be grown with clovers and alfalfa, but it Wray become very competitive if w, PJCJ W?o . P grow h.is not harvested or gra--d in a timely way. Adaptation and Performance Characteristics Soils... Prairiegrass is best adapted to well drained coarser textured soils (sandy loam, loamy sand, loam), however it will grow well on fine textured soils that are well drained" It is not as productive nor competitive on poorly drained soils as on well drained soils. It does not do as well as bahia and bermuda on droughty soils, but it is better adapted than fescue, orchardgrass or annual ryegrass. It responds to moisture and high fertility when the stands are dense. Seasonal growth pattern... The seasonal growth pattern for prairiegrass is somewhat similar to tall fescue and annual ryegrass with more than half of the annual yield produced in the March - June period. During December through February it produces slightly more than tall fescue and annual ryegrass. Summer growth of the cool season grasses is not usually significant, but prairiegrass seems to be more productive than others (such as tali fescue and orchardgrass) when moisture is available. Summer production is not nearly as much as with bermudagrass, crabgrass, sudangrass, millet, bluestems, sw•itchgrass or ;arnagrass. Summer growth will always produce sLedheads after three to six weeks of regrowth, whereas, fescue and orchardQrass will not have seedheads after the spring growth is harvested_ Realistic Yield Expectations... Yields of pure stands of prairiegrass usually range from 3 to 5 tons dry matter per acre, but may be higher when dense stands are -supplied with favorable roisture and nutrients. There are virtually no documented data available for realistic yields of prame-rass on many soils and at various N levels in North Carolina. Until further data are collected, the following suggestions may be useful for estimating expected yields for dense stands of prairiegrass grow-n Mon-- or in mixtu-e with bermuda. Pure stands...There are very limited comparisons of pure stands of prairiegrass with other Species, especially when the prairiegrass was allowed to reseed. The data in tables 1 compare it with other cool season Grasses in tests where reseeding was not allowed. Results for the first year of each test may give an indication ofho«- it would perform with full stands; second and third year results were poor because stands always thirmed in absence of reseeding" When esurriating potential RYE for pure stands ofpralrlegrass COnslder the following cOr l7arl50ns tall fescue: I . On soils where both fescue and prairiegrass are well adapted, the yields of prairiegrass may be 1 tol.5 times more than fescue. B. On sandy, well drained, to excessively drained soils, prairiegrass may yield 1.5 to 3 times more than tall fescue. C. On wet or poorly drained soils, prairiegrass may yield .75 to 1.0 times as much as fescue. Mixed stands with berm udagrass.. Prairiegrass makes more than half its annual growth ill March -June and another 13-25% during the September -December period, whereas berm, Lida makes most of its growth in June -August. Therefore these species w"i€[ compete for nutrients and light during the months of overlap, and manag, r—ment during those periods can shift the botanical composition significant[y. The annual yield of this mixture (prairiegrass-bermuda) growing on adapted soils will not be additive of each species grown alone. However, a general guide is that the mixture will likely yield 1.3 to 1.6 times as much as berrnuda grown alone, this means yields of well maintained mixtures may range from 4 to 8 tons/acre on productive soils receiving adequate moisture and timely harvest management. Nutrient composition.. The nutritive value of the forage is strongly related to prior fertilization and the age or stage of growth at time of harvest or grazing. When harvested at vegetative to early heading stage of growth the protein content of prairiegrass may range from 12 to 18 % and the TDN may range from 6Q to 72 %. The nutritive value ofprairiegrass stems/seedheads tends to decline slightly slower than other cool season grasses, but very mature plants may contain less than 1 0% protein and »% TDN. When grown with bermudagrass, the composition of the mixture will be somewhat less due to the relatively lower nutritive value of the bermudagrass component. Disease... Prairiegrass will often (most every spring) be infected with a disease called powdery mildew. To minimize the impact of this disease, it is best to irnrnediately mow or graze the affected growth to a ; to 4 inch stubble. Often the mildew is more pronounced on "old" vegetation, therefore mowing or grazing schedules may have to be modified to address the problem. There are no pesticides registered in the USA to control this disease on forage crops. Establishment Planting dates.. The optimum time to plant is September -October, but its possible to get stands (with more risk) in November and March. Planting on prepared seedbed in early Septzrnber will usually result in more fall growth, however seedlings can be stressed and killed r4hen moisture is severely limiting. If planting into bermudagrass sod, consideration has to be made for the competition from the existing bermuda. Even though bermuda may not be growinry rapidly during September, the evapotranspiration rate can mean limiting of soil moisture for Young seedlings. To minimize this effect, one can plant in October when berm.uda is not very competitive. It is possible to plant into bermuda sod in September if moisture is not limiting or if bermuda top growth is killed with a contact herbicide like Gramoxone. _ Planting depth... Prairiegrass establishment is very sensitive to planting depth (optimum is 1/4. to " inch). Many thin and poor stands have been caused by planting too deep. Planting method... Establishment may be obtained by planting into a completely prepared seedbed or by no -till planting into closely clipped or grazed sod. Drilling seeds to proper depth improves the odds of obtaining good stands. However, broadcast seeding onto completely prepared seedbed, followed by rolling with a cuitipacker has given satisfactory stands. Seedling development and early growth rates will be better from prepared seedbeds than from no -till planting into sod, especially bermudagrass sod. 0 3,5 ?OUO,WpO 3 When planting into sod, it is t.,sentiai that the existing sod be short (less than 3-inches) with very little surface "thatch" which prevents seed contact with the soil. If sod planting into actively growing bermuda it will be necessary to "temporarily stunt" the berrnuda with a herbicide or light cultivation as a way to reduce competition for light and moisture. Be aware that this option adds a level of risk into the survival of the bermuda, especially if late summer N and K management are out of balance or an insect outbreak occurs. Planting in October or after the bermuda has been "frosted" will mean very little growth of prairiegrass before spring. Planting rates... seeds are large (about 35,000-50,000 seeds/lb), compared to tall fescue or ryegrass (225,000-250,000) and seedling vigor is not proportionally better. Plant 30-35 lbs when drilling, but 35-40 when broadcasting on surface and rolling. As with any species, if conditions (planting date, soil contact, depth, moisture) are not optimum, consider increasing seeding rates up to 30 percent. Volunteer reseeding... Even though prairiegrass is considered a "perennial" it practically performs as an arrrival. To maintain productive stands for several years it will be necessary to manage at least one growth cycle each year for seed production and shatter. Seed -set may be encouraged anytime from May through August, however mid -summer seed production tends to minimize the amount of Loss in forage quality/yield since it is a time when the plant naturally makes less foliage growth; plenty of seed should be produced in June -July. Obtaining successful volt:nteer stands Nvill depend on seed viability and control of competition from other established L,rass2s during the September through October period_ Germinating seeds and developing seedlings will need to receive sunlight and moisture to survive. If prairiegrass is being grown on btnTudaorass it will be necessary to graze or mow the bermuda closely in early September. There will be an advantage to lightiy disturbing the soil surface to provide some soil to seed contact to many years. Fertilization �Aany people have said that 700 to 800 lbs of Nitrogen can be taken up ay "IMatua"; uptake and plant survival oCsuch rates are only part of the story. It is true that the grass may survive such rates, but crop uptake and ef—Ficiency of Nitrogen recovery are strongly related to dry mazer ..'tends or any crop. ti�hen considering a realistic yield that can be expected in this environment and management scheme, it is likeLv that such rates would result in significant losses ofN to the 1. irorim nt. There is no controlled and documented evidence that shows it is practical to appl}" such rates to any crop ir1 NC nor elsewhere. Even in controlled greenhouse trials, the N recovery etftciencies drop significantly when N applications were above 250 to 400 lbs/acrelyear. Pralrlegrass, like most other coot season grasses will perform best when pH is above 6.0 and P and K index are medium or better. The P and K composition in tissue is similar to other grasses, ho%vever when hiari rates are being applied to land, all grasses will take up "luxury" amounts of K- K composition is usually similar to Ni composition in most forage grasses. according to repots from Pennsylvania prairiegrass may contain lower levels of ce nain trace elements SLICtl aS magnesium and iodine than other coot season grassers. C. Lflsea HJO::'Ssa ilrs'„Z n:'�r3riss tug :Coo tv;1D 4 Pure Sta nd5 ...Prairiegrass responds to high fertility, especially when moisture is available. — However, its-Nitroaen�composition may be more similar to ryearass than tall fescue or orchardarass; this means that it may contain about 45 to 55 lbs N/ton dry matter, depending on timing of fertilizer applications, age or stage of plant growth and presence of powdery mildew disease. It should receive most of its N during the September -October and late February through N1ay months. Consider the following N management for dense pure stands: A. At establishment of the prairiegrass (fall planting) apply between 60-75 lbs N/acre. B . On established stands of prairiegrass and ones that have reseeded satisfactorily, apply about 75- 100 lbs of N/acre during the September through November period; it would be best to apply most of the N early in this season (September -early October) and hold the amount applied in November to below 50 lbs/acre. C. Durinc December and January do not apply any N, unless there was none or very little applied during the September through November period, then consider applying less than 20 lbs/acre . D. During the February through May period apply no more than 60-75 lbs N per application and no more than this amount during any 30 day period. It would be best to apply less than the 60 lbs/acre in February, unless plants are showing signs of deficier:cy or growing conditions are favorable for rapid plant growth. E. During the June tb—ouah August period prairiegrass may continue growing if moisture is available. During these "off months", prairiegrass should not receive more than about 25 lbs NI/acre/month, not to exceed the annual rate of 45-55 lbs/ton of dry matter per acre. Only apply 25 lbs N/acre in June -August if the equivalent of I -inch of water or rainfall can be applied at the same. time. If the crop does not respond with at least 1000 lbs of growth within a ;-4 week period do not make another application until the plants have had the opportunity to make adequate regrowth. In Nlixture with bermuda... the fol[owing assumes that the annual Ni rate is related to RYE for Bermuda, and the mixtur.is being managed for about 40% of the annual yield from berrnuda and about 601/ from the prairiegrass. N uptake is closely related to gro,;vth, therefore do riot apply high rates during months when the plants are not growing much. A. At establishment of the prairiegrass (fall planting) apply between 60-75 lbs N/ac re. B. On established stands of prairiegrass growing on bermuda during the September through November period apply about 75-100 lbs of Ni/acre; it would be best to apply most of the N early in this season and hold the amount applied in November to below 50 lbs/acre. D :CU WrID C. During December and January do not apply any N, unless there was none or very little applied during the September through November period, then consider applying less than 20 lbs/acre . D. During the February to October period apply no more than 60-75 ibs N per application and no more than this amount during any 30 day period. It would be best to apply less than the 601bs/acre in February, unless plants are showing signs of deficiency or growing conditions are favorable for rapid plant growth. E. During the June through August period a minim' of 60 to 75 lbs/acre should be available for the bermuda component of the mixture. This does not preclude higher rates in the summer of years when the spring growth of prairiegrass was not as productive as expected and the manager has chosen to shift more of the annual N to the surnmer months. The key is that total N/acre for the year should not exceed RYE levels of bermuda + prairiegrass (1.3 to' 1.6 times RYE for bermuda Harvest Management Hay or silage .... Prairie should be cut in the late boot to early heading stage to provide rapid regro-vvth and relatively high nutritive value. It should be cut Ieaving a 3 to 4-inch stubble because reserve energy storage necessary for regrowth and new tiller buds are located above the soil surface_ Maintaining a mixture of prairiegrass and bermudagrass will depend largely on the timir:a of N applications and harvest schedules. Managing the mixture will require one to favor the Y prairiegrass cutting height since it is much less tolerant of close cutting than Bermuda. Harvests will need to be made prior to full heading stage in April -May to tninirnize the shading of the bermuda, which will just be initiating spring green -up. It will be imperative to keep the prairiegrass harvested in such a way that it does not completely shade the bermuda. During the summer prairiegrass stands are usually "open" enough that ber-muda does not receive significant shading. When seed -set is desired the harvest should be after seeds have fully formed and are brown and easy to shatter as one walks through the field. Usually it takes about 40-50 days for new. growth to produce viable seeds; this will depend on temperature and moisture during the regrowth period. Seeds produced in spring are usually larger and more -vigorous than those produced in late summer. Grazing... Prairiegrass should be rotationally grazed when it reaches a height of 10 to 14 inches and should not be grazed below a 3 to 4 inch stubble. Depending on the temperature and soil moisture it may be ready to regraze every 14 to 45 days, except in middle of summer and winter.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner:. 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. Page: 1 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 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 NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.) 5280 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 10032 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 5280 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 12144 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.

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.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. 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 1953.6 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 9768 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 32.56 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 78.144 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25e 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 Page: 7 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

Page: 10 .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. B. 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. Page: 11 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in_a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharges 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. 15. 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. Page: 12 WASTE. UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 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 preplant 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 element. 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 for optimum crop production and maintained.

PURPOSE To supply plant nutrients in amounts dictated by soil test, or tissue analysis, or accepted recommendations based on realistic yield expectations or plant performance for an intended use To minimize excessive nutrient application While meeting a plant's performance based requirement for a particular 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. Fertilizer source, time, and method of application shall be planned to confdrm 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 tvo years. As deficiency of any of the 16 essential elements u,i)1 limit uptake and utilization of other more envirorunentally active nutrients. Soil testing identifies these yield limiting deficiencies as well as identifying I mbalances, excesses and levels potentially toxic to plants. ?. Zinc am 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_ 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 Consmation practice standards arc revicwtd periodically and updated irneeded. To obtain the current version of this standard, contact tht Natural Resources Conservation .Scn•icc. 590-2 management planning, Fann Service Agency records, university trials, 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.Y.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 informarion 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, thi$ situation may be common. Even xvherc 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. 9_ Choose a fertilization rate within recommended ranges that considers local water quality needs. 10. A]] nitrogen rates for hay production are for pure grass stands. Reduce all hay crop nitrogen rates by 25 percent when grazing. For each ton of hay harvested from a pasture system the nitrogen application rate may be returned to the R.Y.E. application rate for hay. 11. Important considerations for nutrient application include amount, source, placement, and timing. Plant nutrients may be applied as broadcast, starter, surface band or injected band applications. Any one method may have its advantages under a given set of plant nutrient demands, soil characteristics, and fertilizer source- 12- Section I-B of the Technical Guide, leaching index maps, demonstrates the comparative leaching potential of soils of North Carolina. These examples provide the guidelines for assessing nitrate (NO3) leaching risk and recommended management programs. Use Section I-13 of the Technical Guide, leaching index maps, along with soils information for the field, to Identify the potential for nitrogen loss. a. The rate ofnitiification in North Carolina soils is extremely rapid, the leaching of NH4 is likely, the a,,ailability of anhydrous is on the decline, and the cost of pure nitrate sources very high. Where high leaching rates exist, and where appropriate for the crop in question, nitrogcn use efficiency and environmental safety can be enhanced by using split applications. b. On soils of inEet7ttediate leaching potential, split and side dress nitrogen applications are highly recommended for best efficiency. c. For soils with a leaching index (LI) of 2 or less, there is little concern for nitrate leaching losses. d. Erosion control and water management practices shall be included to minimize soil loss transport and runoff which may carry attached and dissolved nutrients to surface waters. This is of particular importance where soils contain high levels of phosphorous. Incorporating nutrients into the soil generally reduces the chance of loss in runoff in the dissolved form. 13. Nutrientsfor a spring -planted crop shall not be applied in fall or winter. Nutrients shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 14. Equipment shall be calibrated to apply recommended rates on the field- Special precautions must be taken to avoid well contamination when using fertigation. 590-3 Tlie crops shoukrn in Table 1 arc the typical recommended crops fa,- waste utilization but is not an inclusive list. Waste may be applied to other crops based on the nitrogen recommendation for R-.Y.E. as shown in NC Cooperative Extension Service Crop Production Guides, the NRCS Agriculture Waste Management Field Guide or the NC Agriculture Chemicals Manual. Table 1. Nitro �cn fN1 pertilization Rates by Cron Yield A range is sho%vn for N fertilization rates because N, uptake is dependent on the available water holding capacity (AWHC) of the soil. AWHC is primarily determined by the soil's texture, percent organic matter and rooting depth. Make your selection from the chart based upon the soil's texture, inherent ability to produce, the occurrence of necessary conservation practices to protect the resource base, and the landuser's historical crop production.

I When waste is to be applied to soybeans, it should be accomplished at preplant or planting. The crops entire nitrogen needs should be met with this application 2 N rates in excess of 120 pounds per acre arc seldom justified for wheat, barley, oat, rye, triticale, and cotton. Do not apply more than 100 pounds of N when overseeding small grain or Rycgrass into Bermudagrass. 3 The total Nitrogen application shall not exceed 120 Ibs. Per acre per year. MRCS, NC CONSIDERATfONS 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 ofplant nutnents. 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 (324) Residue Management, Seasonal (344) Cover and Green Manure Crop (340) Critical Area Planting (342) Stbperopping (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. 4. Organic .wastes can provide an important source of nutrients. State and local regulations,'the NRCS 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 concerning waste utilization. 5. Sources of plant nutrients may include residual amounts in the soil, crop residues including legumes, waste products, and commercial fertilizer. Commercial 590--t 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 will 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 pH.should 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 moisture status in the soil. The same C Factors can increase the likelihood of leaching losses. Consider the environmental impact from increased Inching. 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. NRCS.NC Pinar 1009 2. M 590.5 12. Riparian buffers are very effective in trapping subsurface nitrate entering a stream and even sediment, but much less effective in trapping r-anotf of soluble phosphorus. Filter strips and grassed 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 which are most likely to reduce offske movement of those pollutants. 11 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. PLANS AND SPECMCATIO\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 Iast five consecutive crops. Develop 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 plant nutrients that will be used to meet the crop fertility needs. Identify the priority nutrient or nutrients. If non -farm organic waste is to be used, it shall be analyzed for content and applied as prescribed by federal, state, or local regulations. Appropriate documentation of amounts applied should be maintained. Frequency of soil test, waste analysis, and plant tissue test shall be specified andm conforwith this standard. Credit for nitrogen contributions frorn legume crops in rotation shall be cor;ststent with land grant university recommendations. 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 fpr the location. All specifications will be consistent with state and local regulations. 8. A nutrizrrt budget will -be developed that sho%v3 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 %vorksheet. 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 expectations and shall consider all sources of nutrients that may be availabIz as outlined in the attached nutrient budget worksheet. 11. The following items should be included. f7iose items marked with an asterisk shall be recorded as minimum documentation requirements. • a. Location NRC& NC- b. Extent in acres • c. Nutrient budget sheet • d. Source of nutrients ' e. Nutrient timing and placement i f. Soil erosion control g. Equipment operation and maintenance lt. Safcty i. Receiving water body (DEN ,- DWQ Stream Classification [ndex Number or other identifying nomenclature). j. When animal waste is utilized as a nutrient source adhere to plans and specificadons in Standard 633. r OPERATION AND MJMTENAtvCE 1. Special precautions must be taken to avoid well contamination when using fertigation. 2. Equipment should be cleaned after nutrient application. Waste water resulting from flushing application equipment should be kept away from wells, streams, ponds, lakes, or other water bodies and out of high runoff areas. Follow all state and local regulations concerning storage of materials and disposal of product containers. 3. Avoid unnecessary exposure to hazardous chemical fertilizer and organic wastes. 590-6 Protective clothing, including goggles, a respirator, gloves and footwear should be wom when handling potentially daneerous materials. 4. Dispose of product containers in accordance with local and/or state regulations. Fallow all local, state, and federal regulations regarding the transport of fertilizers. In case of an accidental fertilizer spill, call 91 1. The dispatcher will notify the County Emergency Manzgernent Coordinator who will notify the State Emergency Management Coordinator. 5. .

As data become available to substantiate or refute. -'these suggestions, . [he Forage Production Workgroup will make appropriate changes:' Bermuda Overseeded With Cereal Rye and Annual Ryegrass Currently two types of "ryegrass" are being used for winter overseeding in fields used for animal waste management. Cereal r f , is a winter annual smallgrain that Iooks sa iilar to wheat, barley and oats. Annual •e ras is a winter annual Crass that looks much like tall fescue. Both of these grasses, when growing during ihL winter on berrr3a.tda sod, can have significant impact on subsequent bermuda 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 Ibs more than for bermuda alone. Although cereal rye and annual ryegra_ss are suitable crops for overseeding, the management of the crops are different and thus practices implemented are dependent on the crop selected_ Cfop 5r.1U;u;c I)rvu: vnt�e,_r.f u•'•: C043O.,I 01 A-_' =ulnrty Cnq t_rsn SCIOnCr,,, cum�.u-, Boy 17h16,9r..

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. Plugged intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure. Operating below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application uniformity. For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to ensure proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at several locations in the application area. Any number of containers can be used to collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because they already have a graduated scale from which to read the application amount 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 no nuniformity 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. 'Reprinted for Certification Training for Operations of Animal Waste Management Systems Manual OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN 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 extended rainy and wet periods. Maximum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the 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 long 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 Iagoon 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: l . 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: 1. 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 Iagoons. 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 potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless recommended by an appropriate technical expert. Transfer Pumps ---check for proper operation of: I. 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 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: 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 spillage from leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through proper maintenance and water conservation. Minimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This will reduce the amount of solids entering the lagoon Management: Maintain Iagoon 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 1 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 Iiner 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. 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 dam. 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. i ELF , • _.r ..+,4. �1 �. _ •�� _ n- she �'• :.�k^' '.+t : yLL��,. - A ' 4, r n '" f �: .

DESIGNED BY: APPROVED BY : DATE: S �26� q Z DATE: NOTE: SEE ATTACHED WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN OPERATION -AND MAINTENANCE PLAN ------------------------------ This lagoon is designed for, waste treatment with minimum odor control. The time required for the planned fluid level to be reached may vary due to soil conditions,flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set, center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be taken when applying waste to prevent runoff from the field or damage to crops. The following items are to be carried out: 1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre - charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during start-up. Pre -charging reduces the concentration of the initial waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be covered with effluent at all times. 2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see Attachment B) before land application. 3. Begin pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches eleva- tion -52.3 as marked by permanent markers. Stop pump -out when the fluid level reaches elevation f 50.1 or before fluid depth is less than 6 feet deep (this prevents the loss of favorable bacteria) . 4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.4 inch per hour. 5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain a vigorous stand. 6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and establish in vegetation. 7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable outlets. 8. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States. The Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ- mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law. SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS ---------------------------------------------------------- Clearing: All trees and brush shall be removed from the construction area before any excavating or fill is started. Stumps will be removed within the area of the foundation'of the embankment and fill areas and all excavated areas. All stumps and roots exceeding one (1) inch in diameter shall be removed to a minimum depth of one (1) foot. Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The foundation area shall be loosened thoroughly before placement of embankment material. Cut-off Trench: --------------- A cut-off trench (when specified) shall be installed as shown in the plans. Construction: Construction of excavated and earthfill areas shall be performed to the neat lines and grades as planned. Deviations from this will require prior approval of the SCS. Earthfill shall not be placed in standing water and reasonable compaction of the fills shall be performed by the construction equipment or sheeps-foot roller during placement. The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed using the more impervious materials. Construction of fill heights shall include ten (10) percent for settlement. To protect against seepage, when areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will need to be excavated a minimum of one (1) foot below grade and backfilled and compacted with a suitable material (ie-CL,SC,CH). Refer to the soils investigation information in the plans for special considerations. Precautions should be taken during construction to prevent excessive erosion and sedimentation. Vegetation: All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construction.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN ---------------------- Owners name --:Danny Whaley County:Duplin Mail Address-:Beul_aville, NE Type of production unit ---- :Topping Type of waste facility ----- :Anaerobi.c Lagoon Your animal waste management facility has been designed for a given storage capacity. When the waste reaches the designed level, it must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or ground water. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops on 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 and annual soil tests are 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 and leaching potential. Waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils or on land when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters. 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 not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements may be more or less based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. The design of your waste management facility is based an the following: Amount of Waste Produced Per Year: ---------------------------------- 3520 animals x 1.9 tons waste/animal/yr= 6688 tons total waste Page 2 Amount of Plant Available Nitrogen Produced Per Year: ----------------------------------------------------- 3520 animals x 2.30 lbs.

Liquid Manure Slurry I. Under -slotted -floor pit a. Use a length of 1/2" conduit open on one end and that can be easily sealed on the other end (.e.g., by placing one's thumb over the end of the conduit). b. With both ends of the conduit open, extend it into the manure to the pit floor. c. Seal the upper end of the conduit trapping the manure that has entered the lower end, remove and empty into a bucket or container. c. Collect samples from at least 5 locations or at least enough for a total of 1 quart of slurry. e. Thoroughly mix this slurry and empty approximately 1/2 pint into sample container. 2. Exterior storage basin or tank a. Make sure the manure -has been well mixed or homogenized with a liquid manure chopper -agitator pump or propeller agitator. b. Take samples from approximately 5 locations in the pit, from the agitator pump, or from the manure spreader and place.in a bucket. c. Thoroughly mix and empty 1/2 pint into sample container. II. SAMPLE PREPARATION AND TRANSFER A. Place the sample for analysis into a flexible or expandable container that can be sealed. The container should be rinsed clean with water and free of any residues but should not be chlorinated or treated in any other way. Dry litter may also be placed in a sealed plastic bag such as a freezer bag. B. The sample should be refrigerated, iced or cooled, if possible, or trans- ferred to the lab immediately. C. hand -delivery is the most reliable way of sample transfer, but it can also be mailed- D. If mailed, sample container should first be protected with a packing material such as newspaper, then boxed or packaged with wrapping paper and taped. E. The NCDA Plant Analysis Lab provides this service for a nominal fee of $4 per sample which should be forwarded along with the sample. PSWCD 1 1. Address: N. C.

NOTES, DOCUMENTATION, FOLLOW-UP OG �1jra'tla�+ k WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN FOR Danny Whaley Beulaville NC 28518 August 25, 1993 Your animal waste ation plan has been specifically developed for yo r 5280 SEDER TO FINISH _._SWINE operation. The plan is base soil types, crops to be grown, and method of application -for your particular -operation. The waste 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-and.annual soil tests are encouraged so that all plant nutrients and lime can be balanced for realistic yield of the crops, 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 environ- mentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. The amount of available nitrogen for plant use is dependant on the method of application, Soil type is important due to different leaching potential'and yield potential_ Waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per .acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils or on land when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and reduce the potential for pollution, waste should be applied to a growing crop or not more than 30 days prior to planting. Soil incorporation of - the waste will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The acres needed to apply 'the animal waste are based on ,} -typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Annual acreage requireme its may _.be more or less depending on the °,. specific waste analysis report for your facility at the time f of * irrigation. t Your waste utilization plan is based on the following: TABLE A.

DESIGNED BY: APPROVED BY:�� DATE: ((u ZZ— DATE: SCS DOES NOT CERTIFY NOTE: SEE ATTACHED WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN THAT EXCAVATION AND FILL VOLUMES ARE COMMENTS: CORRECT OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN ------------------------------ This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) with min. odor control. The time required for the planned fluid level to be reached (permanent + temporary storage) may vary due to soil conditions flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. The designed 6 months temporary storage is an estimated volume based on: 1) waste from animals; 2) excess rainfall after evaporation; and 3) the largest 24 hour (one day) rainfall that occurs on the average of once every 25 years. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year. This estimate is based on 7 inches of excess rainfall which is equal to or exceeds the highest 6 months excess in a year. The average annual excess rainfall is approximately 8 inches. Therefore, an average of 8 inches of excess rainfall will need to be pumped each year. The 25 year rainfall will not be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage volume must always be available. A -maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from building(s). If -the outlet pipe is not installed on the elevation to begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed on this elevation to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established to stop pumping to maintain minimum treatment depth (6 feet). Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without runoff or leaching. Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set, center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. care should be. taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops. The following items are to be carried out: 1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre - charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during start-up. Pre -charging reduces the concentration of the initial waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be covered with effluent at -all times. When precharging is complete, flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not be used for flushing after initial filling. 2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment) before.land application. 3. Begin pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches eleva- tion 47.6 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump -out when the fluid level reaches elevation 45.7 or before the fluid depth is less than 6 feet deep (this prevents the loss of favorable bacteria). The design temporary storage, less 25 year storm is 90306 cubic feet or 675490 gallons. As stated before, this volume will vary considerably from year to year. t 4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is' one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.3 inch per hour. 5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain a vigorous stand. 6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and establish in vegetation. 7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable outlets. 8. Keep a minimum of 25-feet of grass vegetated buffer around waste utilization fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will not be applied in open ditches. Do not pump within 200 feet of a residence or within 100 feet of a well. 9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States. The Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ- mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law. r SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION.OF'WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS• Clearing: All trees and brush shall be removed from the construction area before any excavating or fill is started. Stumps will be removed within the area of the foundation of the embankment and fill areas and all excavated areas. All stumps and roots exceeding one (1) inch in diameter shall be removed to a minimum depth of one (1) foot. Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The foundation area shall be loosened thoroughly before placement of embankment material. Lagoon site (and pad site if needed) to be stripped of topsoil (311) and stockpiled for use on dike and pad slopes (2-311). The topsoiling quantity is in excess of amounts specified on page one (1) . Cut-off Trench: --------------- A cut-off trench (when specified) shall be installed as shown in the plans. Construction: Construction of excavated and earthfili areas shall be performed to the neat lines -and grades as planned. Deviations from this will require prior approval of the SCS. Earthfill shall be placed in max. of 611.1ifts and not placed in standing water. Compaction shall be performed by the construction equipment or cheeps -foot roller during placement. The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed using the more impervious materials. Construction of fill heights shall include ten (10) percent for settlement.' To protect against seepage, when areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will need to be excavated a minimum of one (1) foot below grade and backfilled and compacted with a SCS approved material (ie-CL,SC,CH). Refer to the soil investigation information in the plans for special considerations. Precautions should be taken during construction to prevent excessive erosion and sedimentation. Vegetation: All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construction according to seeding specifications sheet.

The plan is based on the soil types, crops to be grown, and method of application, for your particular operation. The waste 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 and annual soil tests are encouraged so that all plant nutrients and lime can be balanced for realistic yield of the crops 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 environ- mentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. The amount of available nitrogen for plant use• is dependant on the method of application. Soil type is important due to different leaching potential and yield potential. Waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils or on land when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and reduce the potential for pollution, waste should be applied to a growing crop or not more than 30 days prior to planting. Soil incorporation of the waste will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The acres needed to apply the animal waste are based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Annual acreage requirements may be more or less depending on the specific waste analysis report for your facility at the time of irrigation. 9 r .Your waste utilization plan is based on the f ollowing: r .�L TABLE A.
