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 water which is not allowed under DWQ regulations.��+ APR 0 6 Z009 BY: Page: 1 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.) 4896 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 9302.4 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 4896 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 11260.8 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 1811.52 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 9057.6 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 30.192 acres of land.. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen.per acre, you will need 72.4608 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25t 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: 9 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

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

It was observed that the lagoon had insufficient freeboard. USDA-NRCS guidelines require a minimum of one foot and seven inches of freeboard. This is based on the amount of storage space needed to contain a 25-year, 24 hour design storm event without a discharge. NRCS requirements also specify that animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops. And that waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop on bare soil. The level of your waste lagoon needs to be lowered and maintained in accordance with the NRCS guidelines and the state 2H .0200 rules governing animal waste management systems. In addition, as was discussed at the time of the inspection, the lagoon walls should be mowed, and the fence posts in the lagoon walls should be removed. We suggest that you contact your service company, local NRCS or Soil and Water District office for any assistance they may be able to provide to correct the situation.

Failure to do so may result in the facility losing it's deemed permitted status, requiring it to obtain an individual non discharge permit. Please be aware it is a violation of North Carolina General Statutes to discharge wastewater to the surface waters of the State without a permit.

Less than 19 inches of freeboard was observed in the lagoon. The backside of the old lagoon needs to be seeded, and the top of the dike wall needs to be reshaped. The following corrective actions should be taken: The Natural Resources Conservation Service (MRCS) guidelines for Best Management Practices require that animal operations maintain at least one foot of freeboard, plus additional storage to contain the rainfall from a 25 year 24 hour storm event. This totals approximately 19 inches of required lagoon freeboard. The lagoon should be pumped down and spray irrigated on a suitable crop cover to maintain at least 19 inches of freeboard. Additionally, the old lagoon dike wall needs to be reseeded and reshaped, as mentioned previously. To remain a deemed permitted facility, all corrective actions must be made within seven (7) days. Failure to do so may result in the facility losing its' deemed permitted status, requiring a certified waste management plan and certification form for the facility to be submitted prior to December 31, 1997 . deadline, and being required to obtain an individual non discharge permit for the facility. 127 Cardinal Drive Extension, Wilmington, N.C. 28405-3845 • Telephone 910-395-3900 • Fax 910-350-2004 An Equal opportunity Affirmative Action Employer Bobby S holar Farm August 11, 1995 Page Two Please be aware that it is a violation of North Carolina General Statutes to discharge wastewater to the surface waters of the State without a permit.

WI' L OPERATION AND MAIN'TLHANCE PLAN --------------------------- 'This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) and 180 days of temporary storage. The time required for the planned fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be -reached may vary due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for: (1) waste from animals and (2) excess rainfall After evaporation. Also included is storage for the 25 year - 24 hour storm far the location. The volume of. waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year, but excess rainfall will vary from year to year. 'The 25 year rainfall will not be a factor to consider in an annual. pumping cycle, but this st -orage 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 at the elevation to begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed at this elevation to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established to stop pumping to maintain lagoon treatment depth. 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 tines. 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.

SHEET 1 OF 2 SPECIFICATIOI: FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTES REATMENT LAGOONS ---------------------------------------------------------- FOUNDATION PREPARATION: AMN ----------------------- The foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be cleared of trees, logs, stumps, roots, brush, boulders,sod and rubbish. Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The topsoil from the lagoon and pad area should be stripped and stockpiled for use on the dike and pad areas. After stripping, the foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be thoroughly loosened prior to placing the first lift of fill material to get a good bond. EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT: ----------------------------------- The completed excavation and ear•thfill shall conform to •the lines, grades, and elevations shown on the plans. EaTthfill material shall be free of material such as sod, roots, frozen soil, stones over 6 inches, in diameter, and other objectionable material. To the extent they are suitable, excavated materials can be used as fill. The fill shall be brought up in approximately horizontal layers not to exceed 9 inches in thickness when loose and prior to compaction. Each layer will be compacted by complete coverage with the hauling and spreading equipment or standard tamping roller or other equivalent method. Compaction will be considered Adequate when fill material is observed to consolidate to the point that settlement is not •readily detectible. NOTE THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PLACEMENT OF LINERS IN THE LINER SECTION OF THIS SPECIFICATION. The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed using the more impervious materials from the required excavations. Construction of fill heights shall include 5 percent for settlement. Dikes over 15 feet in height and with an impoundment capacity of 10 acre-feet or more fall under the jurisdiction of the NC Dam Safety Law. The height is defined as the difference in elevation from the constructed height to the downstream toe of the dike. Precautions shall be taken during construction to prevent excessive erosion and "sedimentation. LINER: THE MINIMUM REQUIRED THICKNESS SHALL BE 1.6 ft. --------------------------------------------------- NOTE: LINERS (PARTIAL OR FULL) ARE REQUIRED WHEN THE ATTACHED SOILS INVESTIGATION REPORT SO INDICATES OR WHEN UNSUITABLE MATERIAL IS ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRUCTION. A TYPICAL CROSS SECTION OF THE LINER IS INCLUDED IN THE DESIGN WHEN MINERS ARE REQUIRED BY THE SOILS REPORT. When areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will be over - excavated below finish grade to the specified depth.as measured perpendicular to the finish grade. The foundation shall be backfilled as specified to grade with a SCS approved material tie - CL,SC,CH). REFER TO THE SOILS INVESTIGATION INFORMATION IN THE PLANS FOR SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS. SHEET 2 OF 2 Soil' liner materiz shall conic.? 'From an approve borrow area. The minimum water content of the liner material shill be optimum moisture content which 'relates to that moisture content when the soil is kneaded in the hand it will form a ball which does not readily separate. Water shall be added to borrow as necessary to insure proper moisture content during placement of the liner. The moisture content of the liner material shall not be less than optimum water content during placement. The n►aximum water content relates to the soil material being too wet for efficient use of hauling equipment and proper compaction. Proper compaction of the liner includes placement in 9 inch lifts and compacted to at least 90 percent of the maximum AST)l D698 Dry Unit Weighs: of the liner material. When smooth or hard, the previous lift shall be scarified and moistened as needed before placement of the next lift. The single most important factor affecting the overall compacted perme- ability of a clay liner, other than the type of clay used for the liner, is the efficient construction processing of the compacted liner. The sequence of equipment use and the routing of equipment in an estab- lished pattern helps assure uniformity in the whole placement and compaction process. For most clay soils, a tamping or sheepsfoot roller i.s the preferable type of compaction equipment. The soil liner shall be protected from the discharge of waste outlet pipes. This can be done by using some type of energy dissipator(rocks) or using flexible'outlets on waste pipes. Alternatives to soil liners are synthetic liners and bentonite sealant. When these are specified, additional construct -ion specifications are included with this C;onstrUction Specification. CUTOFF TRENCH: A cutoff trench shall be constructed under the embankment area when shown on a typical cross section in the plans. The final depth of the cutoff trench shall be determined by observation of the foundation materials. VEGETATION: All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construc- tion according to the seeding specifications. Topsoil should be placed on areas of the dike and pad to be seeded. Temporary seeding or mulch shall be used if the recommended permanent vegetation is out of season dates for seeding. Permanent vegetation should be established as soon as possible during the next period of approved seeding dates. REMOVAL OF EXISTING TILE DRAINS ------------------------------- When tile drains are encountered, the tile will be removed to a minimum of 10 feet beyond the outside toe of slope of -the dike. The file trench shall be backfilled and compacted with good material such as SC, CL, or CH. SEE:D11,IG AREA TO BE SEEDED: 3.0 ACRES USE THE SEED MIXTURE INDICATED AS FOLLOWS: 180.0 LDS.

The time -required for the planned fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be -reached may vary due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for; (1) waste from animals and (2) excess -rainfall after evaporation. Also included is storage for the 25 year - 24 hour storm for the location. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year, but excess rainfall will vary from year to year. The 25 year rainfall will not be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage VOiume must always be avail4able.- A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from building (s) . If the outlet pipe is not installed at the elevation to begin pumping, a permanent ma-r6-;e-r must be installed at this elevation to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established to stop pumping to maintain lagoon treatment depth. 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 tak-en 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 applicationi. 3. Begin temporary storage pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches the elevation 102.2 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump - out when the fluid level -reaches elevation 100.5 . This temporary storage, less 25 yr- 24 hr storm, contains E7828 cubic -feet or 507351 gallons. SHEET 2 OF 2 4. The •recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application •rate is 0.3 inch per hour. Refer to the waste utilization plan for further details. 5.

Wallace NC 28466 Dear Mr. Shofar: This is to inform you that your completed registration form required by the recently modified nondischarge rule has been received by the Division of Environmental Management (DEM), Water Quality Section. On December 10, 1992 the Environmental Management Commission adopted a water quality rule which governs animal waste management systems. The goal of the rule is for animal operations to be managed such that animal waste is not discharged to surface waters of the state. The rule allows animal waste systems to be "deemed permitted" if certain minimum criteria are met (15A NCAC 2H .0217). By submitting this registration you have met one of the criteria for being deemed permitted. We would like to remind you that existing feedlots which meet the size thresholds listed in the rule, and any new or expanded feedlots constructed between February 1, 1993 and December 31, 1993 must submit a signed certification form (copy enclosed) to DEM by December 31. 1997. 'New or expanded feedlots constructed after December 31, 1993 must obtain signed certification before animals are stocked on the farm. Certification of an approved animal waste management plan can be obtained after the Soil and Water Conservation Commission adopts rules later this year. We appreciate you providing us with this information. If you have any question about the new nondischarge rule, please contact David Harding at (919) 733-5083. enc: Sincerely, - a ,/%c Steve Tedder, Chief << Water Quality Section P.O.
