Sutton Brothers Farms
Swine Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Duplin County
In accordance with your October 16, 2017 Notification of Change of Ownership, we are hereby forwarding
to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Sutton Brothers Farms, Inc., authorizing the operation
of the subject animal waste management system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
and land application of animal waste as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan
(CAWMP) for Sutton Brothers Farms, located in Duplin County, with a swine animal capacity of no greater
than the following annual averages:
Wean to Finish: Feeder to Finish: 3,600 Boar/Stud:
Wean to Feeder: Farrow to Wean: Gilts:
Farrow to Finish: Farrow to Feeder: Other:
If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may be one boar for each 15 sows. Where
boars are unnecessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be
replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows.
This COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2019, and shall hereby void
Certificate of Coverage Number AWS310176 that was previously issued to this facility. Pursuant to this
COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and
limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system
for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established
for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in
number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP
and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of
animals.
Please read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit carefully. Please pay careful attention to the
record keening and monitoring conditions in this Permit. Record keeping forms are unchanged with this
General Permit. Please continue to use the same record keeping forms

If your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) has been developed based on site -specific information, careful
evaluation of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current WUP is inaccurate
you will need to have a new WUP developed..
The issuance of this WC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws, Hiles, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property.
Per NRCS standards a 100-foot separation shall be maintained between water supply wells and_ any lagoon,
storage pond, or any wetted area of a spray field.
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the General Permit
or the CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance with NCGS 143-
215.6A through 143-215.6C including civil penalties, criminal penalties, and injunctive relief.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this COC are unacceptable, you have the right to
apply for an individual permit by contacting the Animal Feeding Operations Program for information on
this process. Unless such a request is made within 30 days, this COC shall be final and binding.
In accordance with Condition 11.22 of the General Permit, waste application shall cease within four (4)
hours of the time that the National Weather Service issues a Hurricane Waring, Tropical Storm Warning,
or a Flood Watch associated with a tropical system for the county in which the facility is located. You may
find detailed watch/warning information for your county by calling the Newport/Morehead City, NC

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

Livestock and Poultry Operations in
the Eastern United States
http://Iivestock.rti.org
For additional information or to request
an enrollment form call 1.866.887.1791 (toll free).
The CLEANegsT Program provides confidential, no -
cost technical support to owners and operators of
beef, dairy, swine, and poultry operations located
in the Eastern United States to help them identify
and implement farm management practices that
protect the environment. Owners/operators who
apply and are selected by the program receive on -site
support services from a qualified Technical Assistance
Professional (TAP).
Program Services
The technical services offered by the CLEANEAsT
Program are:
• Environmental Assessment (EA). The TAP conducts
a confidential on -site environmental review of the
owner/operator's livestock or poultry operation and
prepares recommendations that can be implemented
to address any identified environmental issues.
• Existing Nutrient Management Plan (NMP) Review
and Update. The TAP reviews the owner/operator's
existing NMP, then identifies and prepares necessary
NMP documentation to update the plan for the current
livestock or poultry operation.
• New NMP Development. The TAP collects the needed
information and performs the required analyses to
prepare an NMP for implementation at the owner/
operator's livestock or poultry operation.
Program Administration
The CLEANEAsT Program is developed and
administered jointly by RTI International (RTI) and
North Carolina State University (NCSU). Funding
support for the program is provided under a
cooperative agreement with the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency. TAPs are independent
subcontractors to RTI with certifications and expertise
specific to the states where they are assigned to work
for the CLEANEAsT Program.
Benefits to Program Participants
• Provide owner/operator with an objective, confidential
review of site operations, identify any environmental
issues and suggest potential remedies.
• Determine if a livestock or poultry operation is
in an impaired watershed and whether manure .
management practices can be implemented to
contribute to improving water quality.
• Help owner/operator formulate long-term nutrient
management strategies.
• Improve manure management efficiency.
Costs to Program Participants
The services of the TAP are provided at no cost to
the owner/operator. The owner/operator fills out an
operation profile for the TAP and meets with the TAP at
the owner/operator's site.
Participant Eligibility

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to
reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is
to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be
analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all.
plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize
the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe
manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types .are
important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchahge
capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not. be applied to land
eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, Waste may be
applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, When it
is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to
surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be
considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients'for
crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a
growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prroWCanti g7frtjyee�ing the
waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
JUL 2 0 2009
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based oWItypical-nutrient-eentent for
this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from
your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling
techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for
2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application.
Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an
agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer
does not own adequate land to properly dispose of 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.
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 - Fitter 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.)
Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff
does not occur offske or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from
the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies.
8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.
Page 5
WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
9 Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is
not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage
from animal waste should also be considered.
10 Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on 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
discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands
provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist".
Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water
courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a
manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16 Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall
not be discharged into the animal waste management system.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN .
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas
(lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced as necessary to
protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc.,
are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed
and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of
erosion, leakage or discharge.
18 If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
19 Waste handling structures, piping pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular
basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be
kept on site.
20 Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct
human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human
consumption it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications 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 soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites
shall be used when these metal approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for
optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept
for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3)
years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years.
23
Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

In accordance with your application received on 4-Jan-07, we are hereby forwarding to you this
Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Ricky L Sutton, authorizing the operation of the subject animal
waste management system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
and land application of animal waste as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management
Plan (CAWMP) for the R&L Farms, located in Duplin County, with an animal capacity of no greater than
the following swine annual averages:
Wean to Finish: 0 Feeder to Finish: 3600 Boar/Stud: 0
Wean to Feeder: 0 Farrow to Wean: 0 Gilts: 0
Farrow to Finish: 0 Farrow to Feeder: 0
If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows.
Where boars are unneccessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows
may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2009 and replaces the NPDES
COC issued to this facility with an expiration date of July 1, 2007. You are required to continue
conducting annual surveys of sludge accumulation in all lagoons at your facility; the one-year extension
in Condition Ill.19 does not apply.
Pursuant to this COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the
conditions and limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An
adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information
must be established for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design
capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this COC. (as provided above) will require a
modification to the CAWMP and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either
wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Enclosed for your convenience is
a package containing the new and revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please Pav
careful attention to the record keeping and monitoring conditions in this permit.

If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site -specific information, careful evaluation
of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is
inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed.
The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
ti laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property.
Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit
documentation to the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to restocking
of the facility.
Per 15A NCAC 02T-01 11(c) a compliance boundary ii provided for the facility and no new water supply
wells shall be constructed within the compliance boundary. Per NRCS standards a 100-foot separation
shall be maintained between water supply wells and any lagoon, storage pond, or any wetted area of a
spray field.
Per 15A NCAC 02T .1306, any containment basin, such as a lagoon or waste storage structure, shall
continue to be subject to the conditions and requirements of the facility's permit until closed to NRCS
standards and the permit is rescinded by the Division.
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the General Permit
or the CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance with NCGS 143-
215.6A through 143-215.6C including civil penalties, criminal penalties, and injunctive relief.
If you wish to continue the activity permitted under the General Permit after the expiration date of the
General Permit, an application for renewal must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration.
This COC is not automatically transferable. A name/ownership change application must be submitted to
the Division prior to a name change or change in ownership.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this COC are unacceptable, you have the right to
apply for an individual permit by contacting the staff member listed below for information on this
process. Unless such a request is made within 30 days, this COC shall be final and binding.
This facility is located in a county covered by our Wilmington Regional Office. The Regional Office

Geno,
I am faxing you two letters we tried to send to Ricky Sutton concerning the sludge surveys for Facilities 31-100
and 31-176. The letters were returned to us unclaimed. If you will see that Ricky gets these letters, then we will
not try to mail these letters again.
Thanks,

Alan W. Klimek, P.E. Director
Division of Water Quality
Your Animal Waste Management General NPDES Permit contains a condition
that addresses the sludge survey requirement for the lagoon(s) at your animal
feeding operation.
Your NPDES Permit Number NCA231176 Condition 1I1.16, on page 10 states:
"All facilities, which are issued a COC to operate under this permit, shall conduct
a survey of the sludge accumulation in all lagoons within one (1) year of receiving
the COC and every year thereafter. This survey shall include but not be limited to
a sketch showing the depth of sludge in the various locations within each lagoon.
This survey shall be submitted as part of the facility's annual report in the year it
was conducted..."
Our records indicate that the Division has not received the sludge survey results
for the year 2005 from your facility and your facility had not previously exempted
based on prior surveys. The form was due March 1, 2006. To avoid possible
enforcement action for a violation of your permit, please submit the results within
thirty (30) days of receipt of this letter to the following address:

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Producer: LYNN SUTTON
Location: 1337 E WARDS BRIDGE RD
KENANSVILLE NC 28349
Telephone: 910-296-0651
Type Operation: Existing Feeder to Finish Swine
Number of Animals: 3600.00 hogs
(Design Capacity) '
STORAGE STRUCTURE: Anaerobic Waste Treatment Lagoon
APPLICATION METHOD: Irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a
specified rate to prevent pollution`of surface water and/or
groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops
in the fields where the waste is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient.
Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil
tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be
balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization
plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to
ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner:
1.- Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be
grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply
more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration
rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and
available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than
5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land
eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than
10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter
strips are established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining,
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.)
3600 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 6840 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
3600 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 8280 lbs. PAN/year
Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan
time and have -appropriate equipment to apply.the waste in a timely
manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on
the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

Indicates that this field is being overseeded (i.e. interplanted) or
winter annuals follow summer annuals.
In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded
in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing,
hay and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed
when they reach a height•of six to nine inches. Cattle
should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four
inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed
for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small
grain to reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May).• Shading may result if small grain gets too
high and this will definitely interfere with stand of
bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced
yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than
cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as
is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small
grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or
silage two to three times during the season, depending on
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late
September or early October. Drilling is recommended over
broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a
height of about two inches before drilling for best results.
Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying summer
annuals under stressed conditions. Nitrate poisoning
may occur in livestock. Sampling forage or hay for
nitrate levels is recommended.
** Acreage figures may exceed total acreage in fields due to
overseeding.
lbs AW N (animal waste nitrogen) equals total required nitrogen
less any commercial nitrogen (COMM N) supplied.

See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of
animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan Tust 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 1332 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 6660
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 22.2 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 53.28 acres
of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land needed. Actual requirements could vary,by 25; depending on your
sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application
methods.
APPLICATION OF WASTEBYIRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the
soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This
rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil
texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount
should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the
time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed
the nitrogen needs of the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan,
it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure
that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres
shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and

amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

rates and amounts.

* This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil
assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over
applied. In many situations, the application amount shown cannot
be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil
conditions.
Your facility is designed for 180.00 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.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by
runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or
direct discharge during operation or land application. Any
discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the
producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate
land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does
not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall
provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a
reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for
waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the
facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when
there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of
animals, method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the
nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type,
available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict
the rate of application for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons
per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding
at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year
providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves
the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strip)
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after
waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is
danger of drift from the irrigation field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to
flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled
cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or
grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application
does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather
and Climate in North Carolina', for guidance.)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil
infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to
surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from
the site during application. No ponding should occur in order
to control odor or flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during
rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such
a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that
would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal
waste should also be considered.
Page: 12
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.
16..Dome.stic 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: 13
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. Soil and waste
analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry
waste application records shall be maintained for three (3)
years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be
maintained for five (5) years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North
Carolina regulations.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment with
control. The time required for the planned fluid
reached may vary due to soil conditions, flushing
the amount of fresh water- added to the system.
PAGE
minimum odor
level to be
operations, and
Land application of waste water- is recognized as an acceptable
method of disposal. Ir-r-igatican by using center- pivot, gun, or -
traveler is the preferred and most efficient method to dispose of
the effluent from the lagoon. Care should be taken when applying
waste to prevent damage to the crops and to prevent runoff from
the fields.
The following items are to be carried out:
1. Begin pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches invert
of the outlet pipes or at a pre -determined elevation.
2. Step pump -out before the lagoon depth is less than 6 feet
deep or at a pre -determined depth. (This prevents the loss of
favorable bacteria)
_. The recommended amount to apply per irrigation is one inch,
and maximum recommended app I i cation rate is 0.5 inch per- .hour-.
4. It is recommended that the treatment lagoon be pr-echarged to
1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during beginning
stages of the operation. Pr-echar-ging reduces the concentration of
the initial waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors.
Solids should be covered with water- at all times.
5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas around the lagoon
and buildings mowed.
6. Repair any eroded areas and establish in vegetation.
7. 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,Wastewater
Management Section, has the responsibility for enforcing this
law.
2. All surface water- is to be diverted from the lagoon to an
adequate and stable outlet.
CERTIFICATION:
I'"F.er-eby certify thiat I understand the operation and maintenance
requirements stated above. Furthermore, I understand how many
acres are required in order to land apply the waste and that
the lagoon may have to be pumped 2 or more times a year. This
design has been explained to me and I agree with all provisions
stated in the design. I also certify that there are no residence
other- than mine or my tenants' within 750 feet of this operation.
I understand that compliance with this design DOES NOT prevent
someone from me because of nuisance car other- reasons. suing

System Calibration
Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operation
conditions with relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application rates
change over time as equipment gets older and components wdar. 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 sca'.e from which to read the application amount
without having to perform additional calculations. However, pans, plastic byckets,
jars, or anything with a uniform opening and cross-section can be used provided
the liquid collected can be easily transferred to a scaled container for measuring.
For stationary sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly
throughout the application area at.several distances from sprinklers. For traveling
guns, sprinklers should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direction of
pull. Set out collection containers 25 feet apart along the transect on both sides of
the gun cart. You should compute the average application rate for all
nonuniformity of the application. On a windless day, variation between containers
of more than 30 percent is cause for concern. You should contact your irrigation
dealer or technical specialist for assistance.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN
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 al low 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 shoul8 be
based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not practical to obtain
a soils test each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas
should be fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or
equivalent.
Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may be
done by mowing, spraying, grazing, chopping, or a combination of
these practices. This should be done at least once a year and
possibly twice in years that weather conditions are favorable for
heavy vegetative growth.
NOTE: If vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to enter
the lagoon water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating
the waste.
Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of
the lagoon and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. Items to be
checked should include, as a minimum, the following:
Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes —look for:
1. separation of joints
2. cracks or breaks
3. accumulation of salts or minerals
4. overall conditicn 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 lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary fix if there is a threat
of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the
technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious
undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless
recommended by an appropriate technical- expert.
Transfer Pumps —check for proper operation of:
1. recycling pumps
2. irrigation pumps
Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or grinding
noise, or a large amount of vibration, may indicate that the pump is in need or repair or
replacement.
NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that you
are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform your pumping
system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This will allow some
safety time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly full lagoon is not the time
to think about switching, repairing ; or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is full,
your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an inventory of spare
parts or pumps.
Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface
drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets,
and parking lot runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste
treatment or storage structures. The only water that should be
coming from your lagoon is that which comes from your flushing
(washing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon directly.
You should inspect your diversion system for the following:
1. adequate vegetation
2. diversion capacity
3. ridge berm height
Identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system
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.
f
Management:
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
Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and
the full temporary storage level.
Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the
minimum liquid level and the maximum liquid lever (Figure 2-1).
Start irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring based on
nutrient requirements and soil moisture so that temporary storage
will be maximized for the summer thunderstorm season. Similarly,
irrigate in the late summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon
storage for the winter.
The lagoon liquid level should never be closer than 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 manureApreader
onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste
constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different
nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields will be
limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field and crop
requirement. Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in .Chapter 3.
When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage. Close
attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner remains
intact. If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should
stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can be
removed without liner injury. If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as
possible.
Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and heavy metal content
than liquid. Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus
and metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of
erosion. Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil -test phosphores, it
should be applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other
wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value.
The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site.
Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which
could increase the concern of neighbors.
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 alloyed 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.

nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of
commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where waste
l5 to be applied. This waste ubl¢ation plan uses nitrogen as the
limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application
cycle. Annual sell 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 ubTuation
plan in order to maxim¢e the fertilizer value of the waste and to
ensure that It Is applied in an enlrironmentany safe manner. Always
apply waste based on the needs of the Crop to be grown and the nutrient
content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can
utilize. Soil types are Important as they have different infiltration
rates, leaching potentials, Cation exchange capactties, and available
water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land
eroding at greater than 5 torts per acre per year. With special pre-
cautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per
acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated sores, when It is
raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions
may result in runoff to surface watem which is not allowed under DWO
regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift
and downwind odor problems. To maldm¢e 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 to bare ground
not more than 3o days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or
disidng will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on waste application through intgatlon for this
is the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. tf you
choose to inject the waste In the future, you need to revise this
e
plan. Nutrient levels for injecting waste and irrigating
not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste Is. based on
typical nutrient content for this type Of facility. Acreage require-
ments should be based on the Waste analysis

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Plans and Spedflcations
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. Illegal discharges are subject
to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division
of Water lluafly for every day the discharge continues.
2 The Local NRCS office must two documentation In the design folder that
the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land
to property dispose of waste. If the produces does not own adequate
land to properly dispose of waste, he shell provide NRCS with a copy
of a written agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable
proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application
fur the life expectancy of the production facility. It Is the
responsib lily of the owner of the facility to secure an updated Waste
Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, Increase in
the number of animals, method of uailzatlon, 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, climate conditions, and level of management, unless
there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other
nutrients.
4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management
System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation Sydom (ACS). If an ACS
is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per
year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves
the field. These tiger strips will be in addition to "Buffer&"
required by DEM. (See FOTG Standard 393-Fstar Strips and Standard
390 Interim Riparian Forest Buffers)
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or dsidnp after waste
application. Waste should not be applied when the wind Is blpwing.
G. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it
will he soil incorporated on conventionally Sled cropland. When
applied to conservation tined crops or grassland, the waste may be
broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season
prone to flooding. (San "Weather and Climate in North Carolina' In
the NRCS Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soli intl-
tration rate such that runoff does not occur off site 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 conditions
conducive to odor or flies and to provide uniformity or application.
a. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated cols, during rainfall
event, or when the surface is frozen.
g. 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 w9ald
tnh\bttBmWft The potential for salt damage from animal waste should
also be considered.

NC State University Forage �roductlon Workgroup
DATE: June 29, 1998 7/
SUBJECT: Crop Management Practices for Select Forages
. Used in Waste Management
The following is a four -page summary of suggestions for management practices for some
forage crops that can be used in waste management plans. These suggestions are a result of
discussions within the NC State University Forage Production Workgroup, a group comprised
of NC State faculty and NRCS agency personnel with expertise with the crops.
There are limited documented research responses of some of these practices on the many soils,
and environments where these crops arc currently being grown. The Forage Production
Workgroup has taken the avatlable data and used the combined experiences and realistic
estimates of key people to come up with suggestions that wM allow farmers to incorporate
these crops and practices into waste management plans. As data become available to
substantiate or refute these suggestions, the Forage Production Workgroup will make
appropriate changes.
Bermuda Overseeded With Cereal Rye and Aunts! Byesms
Currently two types of "ryegrass" are being used for winter overseeding in fads used for
animal waste management. Cereal is a winter annual smallgrain that looks similar to
wheat, barley and oats, Annual rveLW is a winter &ants] grass that looks much like tall
fescue. Both of these grasses, when growing during the winter on bermuda 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 WW usually yield between 1-2
tons more per acre than berrut da growing alone for the year. Therefore, the total amount of
PAN /acre for the year is about 1001b5 more than for bermuda alone. Although ccrcal rye and
annual ryegrass are suitable crops for overseeding, the management or the crops are different
and thus practices implemented are dependent on the crop selected.

Car+eal Rye
The cereal rye should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to gat winter
growth. The thou consistent stands ace obtained from drilling rye into short (less than 3
inches tall) bermudagrass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short
bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate
for broadcast planting Of seeds should be 1.5 tines the rate for drilled seeds. The last
application of animal waste is to be applied to the ber=da prior to August 31. An
application of 50 lbs/a= of Plant Available N (PAN) may be applied between September 15
and October 30. An additional 501hn/acre of PAN may be applied in February -March. if rye
growth is harvested on time and does not significantly sbade the Bermuda. PAN rates for the
subsequent bermuda crop are based on realistic yields of bermuda. A harvest 1s requited prior
to heading or April 7, which ever comes first. This is necessary to minimize the potential for
shading ber=da and reducing its yields. The PAN rate for grazed systems with bemwda
overseeded with cereal rye must be reduced in accordance with NRCS Technical
Standard #590.
Annual Ryegrass
Annual ryegress should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter
growth. The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling ryegrass into short (less than 3
inches tall) bermudagrass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short
bertttuda sod followed by a light cuktvatiou with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate
for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1,5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last
Application of anitnal wage Is to be applied to the bermuda prior to August 31. An
application of 50 lbs/acre of (PAN) may be applied between September 15 and October 30.
An additional 50 lbs/acre of PAN may be applied in February -March. If additional PAN is
applied to the ryegrass in April -May, the PAN rate ibr the bermuda must be reduced by a
corresponding amount. This is necessary because ryegrass growth during April -May will
reduce bcrawda yields and shorten the time bermuda can fully utilize the N. A harvest is
required by heading or April 7, which ever comes fast to prevent shading of emerging
bermuda during April -May period, To favor the production of tie Bermuda, additional
harvests of ryegrass will be required when the ryegrass canopy reaches 12 to 15 inches height.
The PAN rate for grazed systems with bermuda overseeded with annual ryegrass must be
reduced in accordance with NRi S Technical Standard #590.

The animal waste is to be applied in a manner that will not cause problems
with the nutrients in the -waste leaching out of the soil and into ground and surface
water (lakes, streams, and drainage ditches). I understand that this waste
contains nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and trace elements, and when properly
applied should.not harm my land or crops, I also understand that'the use of
animal manure will reduce my need for commercial fertilizer. The application of
animal waste will be timed in a manner that will not inconvenience the existing
farming operations,

NC State University ForageProduction Workgroup
DATE: June 29, 1998 Y
SUBJECT: Crop Management Practices for Select Forages
Used in Waste Management
The following' is a four -page summary of suggestions for management practices for some
forage crops that can be used in waste management plats. These suggestions are a result of
discussions within the NC State University Forage Production Workgroup, a group comprised
of NC State faculty and NRCS agency personnel with expertise with the crops.
There are limited documented research responses of some of these practices on the many soils
and environments where these crops are currently being grown. The Forage Production
Workgroup has taken the available data and used the combined experiences and realistic
estimates of key people to come up with suggestions that will allow farmers to incorporate
these crops and practices into waste management plans. As data become available to
substantiate or refute these suggestions, the Forage Production Workgroup will make
appropriate changes.
Rermuda Overseeded WA Cereal Rye and Annud Ryegms
Currently two types of `lryegrass" are being used for winter overseeding in fields used for
animal waste management. Cereal is a winter annual smallgraln that looks similar to
wheat, barley and oats Annual rveffas is a winter annual grass that looks mucb like tan
fescue. Both of these grasses, when growing during the winter on bermuda sod, can have
significant impact on subsequent benmida yields. In effea, the total yields from an acre
growing the combination of bermuda with these whiter annuals will usually yield between 1-2
tons more per acre than bemmda growing abne for the year. Therefore, the total amount of
PAN tam for the year is about loo lbs more than for bermuda alone. Althougb cereal rye arW
annual ryegrass are suitable crops for overseeding, the management of the craps are differcnt
and thus practices implemented ate dependent on the crop selected.

Cereal Rye
The cereal rye should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter
growth. The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling rye into short (less than 3
inches tall) bermudagrass sod. If drilling is not possible. the seeds may be broadcast on shoe
bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate
for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled sends. The last
application of animal waste is to be applied to the berm, da prior to August 31. An
Application of 501bstacre of Plant Available N (PAN) may be applied between September 15
and October 30. An additional 50 lbs(acre of PAN may be applied in February -March. If rye
growth is harvested on time and does not significantly shade the bermuda. PAN rates for the
subsequent bermuda crop are based on realistic yields of bermuda. A harvest is required prior
to beading or April 7, which ever comes Arst. This is necessary to minimize the potential for
shading bermuda and Ieduciug its yields. Tbc PAN rate for grazed systems with bcrmrda
overseeded with cereal rye must be reduced in accordance with MRCS Technical
Standard #590,
Annual Ryegraw
Annual ryegrass should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter
growth The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling ryegrass into short (less than 3
inches tall) betmudagrass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short
bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate
for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last
application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior to August 31. An
application of 50 lbstacre of (PAN) may be applied between September 15 and October 30.
An additional 50 lbslacre of PAN may be applied in February -March. If additional PAN is
applied to the ryegrass in W-May, the PAN rate for the bermuda must be reduced by a
corresponding amount. This is necessary because ryegrass growth daring April -May will
reduce betmuda yields and shorten the time bermuda can fully utilize the N. A harvest is
requirrA by treading or April 7, which ever cogs lust to prevent shading of emerging
bermuda during April -May period. To favor the production of the bermuda, additional
harvem of ryegrass will be required when the rycgrass canopy reaches 12 to 15 inches height.
The PAN rate for grazed systems with bermuda overseeded with annual ryegrass must be
reduced in accordance with NRCS Technical Standard "90.

APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation appfication 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.
Your facility is designed for ta0 days of temporary storage
and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every
6 months. In no instance pb9uld the volume of waste being stored in
your structure be within 1, 'feet of the top of the dike.

Memorandum
TO: North Carolina Certified TeMnical Specia'sts
FROM: Dr. Jim preen, Chairman
NC State University Forage roductlon Workgroup
DATE- June 29, 1998 1/
SUBJECT: Crop Management Practices for Select Forages
Used in Waste Management
The following is a four -page summary of suggestions for management practices for some
forage crops that can be used in waste management plans. These suggestions are a result of
discussions within the NC State University Forage Production Workgroup, a group comprised
of NC State faculty and NRCS agency personnel with expertise with the crops.
There are limited documented research responses of some of these practices on the many soils
and enviroarnents where these crops arc currently being grown. The Forage Production
Workgroup has taken the available data and used the combined experiences and realistic
estimates of key people to come up with suggestions that will allow farmers to incorporate
these crops and practices into waste management plans. As data become available to
substantiate or refute these suggestions, the Forage Production Workgroup will make
appropriate changes.
Bermuda Overseeded With Cereal Rye and Annual Ryegrass
Currently two types of 'Yyegrass" are being used for winter overseeding in fields used for
mutual waste management. Cereal 1Ysi is a winter annual smallgrain that looks similar to
wheat, barley and oats. Annual Mgms is a winter antral grass that looks ranch like tall
fescue. Both of these grasses, when growing daring the winter on bermuda sod, can have
Significant impact on subsequent bernwda yields. In effect, the total yields from an acre
growing the combination ofberrrwda with these winter annuals wlll usually yield between 1-2
tons more per acre than berm uda gruwlag alone for the year. Therefom, the total amount of
PAN /acre for the year is about 1001bs more than for bermuda alone, Although cereal rye and
annual ryograss are suitable crops for overseeding, the management or the crops are different
and thus practices implemented are dependent on the crop selected.

Cereal Rye
The cereal rye should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to gat winter
growth. The most consistent stands are obtained from driling rye into short (less than 3
iaebes tall) bermudagrass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short
bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate
for broadcast plantlAg of seeds should be 1.5 figs the rate for drilled seeds. The last
application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior to August 31. An
application of 50 lbslacrc of Plant Available N (PAN) may be applied between September 15
and October 30. An additional 501bs/acre of PAN may be applied in February -March. if rye
growth is harvested on time and does not significantly shade the bemda, PAN rates for the
subsequent bermuda crop are based on realistic yields of bermuda A harvest is required prior
to beading or April 7, which ever comes first. This is necessary to minimise the potential for
shading bermuda and inducing its yields. The PAN rate for grazed systems with bermuda
overseeded with denial rye must be reduced in accordance with NRCS Technical
Standard #590,
Annual Ryegrm
Annual ryegtass should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter
growth. The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling ryegrass into short (less than 3
inches tau) bertwdagrass sod If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short
bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate
for broadcast pleating of seeds should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last
application of attlmal waste is to be applied to the bernntda prior to August 31. An
application of 50 lbs/acre of (PAN) may be applied between September 15 and October 30.
An additional 50 lbs/acre of PAN may be applied in February -March. 1f additional PAN is
applied to the ryograss in April -May, the PAN rate for the bermuda must be reduced by a
corresponding amcuta. This is necessary because ryegrass growth during April -May will
reduce bernwda yields and shorten the time bermuda can fully utilizc the N. A harvest is
required by beading or April 7, which ever Comes first to prevent shading of emerging
bermuda during April -May period, To favor the production of the bermuda. additional
harvests of ryegrass will be required when the ryegrass canopy reaches 12 to 15 inches height.
The PAN rate for grazed systems with bermuda overseeded with annual ryegrass must be
reduced in accordance with NRCS Technical Standard #590.

Dear Mr. Sutton:
On September 10, 1997 Staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality,
inspected your animal operation and the lagoon(s) serving this operation. It was observed that waste has
been applied to a spray field which is not listed in the certified animal waste management plan.
NRCS-USDA requirements specify that all acreage on which waste is to be applied should be
designated in the certified animal waste management plan. This additional land not in the certified animal
waste management plan should be added to the plan. Waste application to this field should be discontinued
until the situation is corrected. In addition, the appropriate crops as specified by the certified plan should
be planted in the spray fields, or the certified plan should be amended to include these crops. 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.
To remain a deemed permitted facility, you must notify this office in writing within fourteen (14) days
of the receipt of this notice, what actions will be taken to comply with your waste management plan. Failure
to do so may result in the facility losing it's deemed permitted status, requiring it to obtain an individual non
discharge permit.

Dear Mr. Sutton:
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study
Commission on Agricultural Waste, enacted by the 1996 North Carolina General Assembly,
requires a certified operator for each animal waste management system that serves 250 or more
swine by January 1, 1997. The owner of each animal waste management system must submit a
designation form to the Technical Assistance and Certification Group which designates an
Operator in Charge and is countersigned by the certified operator. The enclosed form must be
submitted by January 1, 1997 for all facilities in operation as of that date. Failure to designate a
certified operator for your animal waste management system is a violation of 15A NCAC 2H
.0224 and may result in the assessment of a civil penalty.
If you have questions concerning operator training or examinations for certification, please
contact your local North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service agent or our office.
Examinations have been offered on an on -going basis in many counties throughout the state for
the past several months and will continue to be offered through December 31, 1996.
Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions concerning this requirement please
