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

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

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

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

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift,
manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during
operation or land application. Any discharge of waste that reaches
surface water is prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer
either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to
properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to
properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an
agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity,
allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the
responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to secure an
update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the
operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application,
receiving crop type, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs
-for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture,
historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless
there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other
nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre
per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per
acre.per year but less than_10 tons per acre Der year provided grassfilter
strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, MRCS Field
Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste
application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift
from the land application field.
6: When animal -waste is to -be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste
will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is
applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be
broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone
to flooding (see "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for
guidance).
------------------------------------------ -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
210258 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed. 1/14/03 Specification Page 1

7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration
rate such that runoff does not occur 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 and flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall
events, or when the soil surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a
manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would
inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should
also be considered.
10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring
planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient
loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable
winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not
be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages
breaking dormancy.
I.I. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1,1995 shall comply
with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which
waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall
be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal.
Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after
October 1, 1995, shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial
waters.
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other
than those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and
public right-of-ways.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
210258 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 1/14103 Specification Pape 2

15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways,
or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be
applied to prior converted cropland provided the fields have been
approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". - Animal
waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly
into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be
applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift
from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets,
sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management
system.
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all
disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas
shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such
as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where
considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and
accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for
evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge.
18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the
owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan"
which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, and
erosion.
19.._Waste-handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be
inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A
regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site.
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and
other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is
used on crops for direct human consumption, it should only be applied
pre -plant with no further applications of -animal waste during the crop
season.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom
elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste
treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid
level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the
maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds.
22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested
at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied.
Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining nutrient, unless other restrictions
require waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower
application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in
the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when
these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and
maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis
records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste
application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years.
Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five
(5) years.

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

Wean to Finish: 0 Feeder to Finish: 2640 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 maybe 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 I11.19 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 carefiilly read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Enclosed for your convenience is

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
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 .0111(c) a compliance boundary is provided for the facility and no new water supply
wells shall be constructed within the compliance boundary. Per NRCS standards a 100-foot separation
shall be maintained between water supply wells and any lagoon, storage pond, or any wetted area of a
spray field.
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.

Swine Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Duplin County
Dear Thomas L. Stroud, Jr.:
On March 14, 2003, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) issued an NPDES General
Permit for swine facilities. The General Permit was issued to.enabie swine facilities in North Carolina to
obtain coverage under a single permit that addresses both State and Federal- requirements.
In accordance with your application received on January 22, 2003, we are hereby forwarding to you this
Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Thomas L. Stroud, Jr., authorizing the operation of the subject
animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with NPDES
General Permit NCA200000. The issuance of this COC, supercedes and terminates your COC Number
AWS310272 to operate under State Non -Discharge Permit AWG100000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Tom Stroud Farm, located in DuplinCounty, with an animal capacity of no
greater than an annual average of 2640 Feeder to Finish swine and the application to land as specified in
the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or
Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary,
they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a
rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until July 1, 2007. Pursuant to this COC, you are
authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as
specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting
and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this
facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number
of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and
this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed General Permit. Since this is a new joint State and
Federal general permit it contains many new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained
in the current State general permit. Enclosed for your convenience is a package containing'the new and
revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please pay careful attention to the record keeping
and monitorine conditions in this permit. The Devices to Automaticallv Ston Irritation Events Form
must be returned to the Division _ofWater Quality no later than 120 days following receipt of the
Certificate of Coves e. The Animal Facility Annual Certification Form must be completed and returned
to the Division of Water Quality by no later than March 1 st of each year.

NOTE. Symbol * means user entered data.

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

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

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

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

210258 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed. 1114/03 Specification Pape 1

7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration
rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a
method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No
ponding should occur in order to control odor and flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall
events, or when the soil surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a
manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would
inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should
also be considered.
10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring
planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient
loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable
winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not
be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages
breaking dormancy.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1,1995 shall comply
with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which
waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall
be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal.
Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after
October 1, 1995, shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial
waters.
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other
than those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and
public right-of-ways.
----------------------------------------------------------------- - - ---------------------------------------------------
210258 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 11t4/03 Specification Page 2

15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways,
or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be
applied to prior converted cropland provided the fields have been
approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal
waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly
into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be
applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift
from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets,
sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management
system.
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all
disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas
shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such
as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where
considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and
accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for
evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge.
18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the
owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan"
which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, and
erosion.
19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be
inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A
regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site.
24. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and
other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is
used on crops for direct human consumption, it should only be applied
pre -plant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop
season.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
210258 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 1/14/03 Specification Page 3

21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom
elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste
treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid
level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the
maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds.
22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested
at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied.
Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining nutrient, unless other restrictions
require waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower
application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in
the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when
these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and
maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis
records shall be kept for a minimum of rive years. Poultry dry waste
application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years.
Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five
(5) years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina
regulations.

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

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 31-272
DupIin County
This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. HZR1, IRR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR1, SLUR2,
SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the

The Non -Discharge Permitting Unit has completed a preliminary engineering review of the subject
application. Additional information is required before we can continue our review. Please address and submit
the following information by October 21, 1998:
L. Your waste utilization plan lists Bemudagrass and small grain overseed with 60 lbs N/acre
for small grains. Such a rate exceeds the recommended 501bs N/acre allowed for the small
grain overseeds at the time. The Sixth Guidance Memo (Revision Two) issued on August
25, 1998 includes a memo from NCSU that does allow up to 100 lbs. of nitrogen per acre
for many small grain overseeds. However, such rates are allowed only if the specific
cultural practices are followed as specified in the NCSU memo. Please include the
provisions of the memo in the narratives and attach a copy of the NCSU memo with the
waste utilization plan if you wish to take advantage of the higher nitrogen application rates
on small grain overseeds.
Please note that all revisions or amendments made to the waste utilization plan (WUP) or a
portion thereof are required to be signed and dated by both the landowner and the Technical
Specialist before they are submitted far review.
Please reference the subject permit application number when providing the requested information. All
information should be signed, sealed, and submitted in duplicate to my attention at the address below. The
information requested by this letter must be submitted on or before October 21, 1998 or the Division will return
your application as incomplete in accordance with 15A N.C.A.C. 2H .0200 and'your facility will be considered to
be operating without a permit.
Please be advised that operation of the subject animal waste management system without a valid permit is
a violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and will subject you to the enforcement authority of the
Environmental Management Commission.

System Calibration
Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operation conditions
with relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application rates change over time as
equipment gets older and components wear. In particular, pump wear tends to reduce
operating pressure and flow. With continued use, nozzle wear results in an increase in
the nozzle opening which will increase the discharge rate while decreasing the wetted
diameter.
You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the design will
alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently the application
uniformity. For example, operating the system with excessive pressure results in smaller
droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the sprinkler nozzle. CIogging
of nozzles can result in pressure increase. PIugged intakes or crystallization of mainlines
will reduce operating pressure. Operating below design pressure greatly reduces the
coverage diameter and application uniformity.
For.the above'reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to ensure
proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every three years is
recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at several locations in
the application area. Any number of containers can be used to collect flow and determine
the application rate. Rain gauges work best because they already have a graduated scale
from which to read the application amount without having to perform additional
calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets, jars, or anything with a uniform opening
and cross-section can be used provided the liquid collected can be easily transferred to a
scaled container for measuring.
For stationary sprinklers, collection containers should be Iocated 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 allow for winter storage. Every effort should be made to
maintain the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as long as the weather and waste
utilization plan will allow it.
Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before starting to
irrigate does not Ieave room for storing excess water during extended wet periods.
Overflow from the lagoon for any reason except a 25-yeah, 24-hour storm is a violation of
stafe law and subject to penalty action.
The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following:
Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam.
Fescue or common bermudagrass are the most common vegetative
covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year, if needed, to
maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fertilizer applied should be
based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not practical to obtain
a soils test each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas
should be fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or
equivalent.
Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may be
done by mowing, spraying, grazing, chopping, or a combination of
these practices. This should be done at least once a year and
possibly twice in years that weather conditions are favorable for
heavy vegetative growth.
NOTE: If vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to enter
the lagoon water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating
the waste.
Maintenance' inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of
the lagoon and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. Items to be
checked should include, as a minimum, the following:
Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes ---look for:
1. separation of joints
2. cracks or breaks
3. accumulation of salts or minerals
4. overall condition of pipes

Lagoon surface ---look for:
1. undesirable vegetative growth
2. floating or lodged debris
Embankment ---look for:
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
S. 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:
I . recycling pumps
2. irrigation pumps
Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or grinding
noise, or a large amount of vibration, may indicate that the pump is in need or repair or
replacement.
NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that you
are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform your pumping
system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This will allow some
safety time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly full Iagoon 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:
Y I . 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 b hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This will
give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount
(you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in
planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may
have an inflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the
lagoon from the surrounding land.
Lagoon Operation
Startup:
1. Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil
surfaces to avoid erosion.
2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before
waste loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes.
3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender on the
end of the pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial
filling or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of
the lining.
4. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize
bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather).
5. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy
working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full lagoon
liquid volume. This seeding should occour at least two weeks prior to the
addition of wastewater.
b. 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.

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 Iagoon
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.
Devvater 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 Iagoon to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back
into lagoon; allow sludge to dewater; haul and spread with manure spreader
onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste
constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different
nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields will be,
limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field and crop
requirement. Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3.
When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage. Close
attention by the pumper or.drag-line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner remains
intact. If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should
stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can be
removed without liner injury. If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as
possible.
Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and heavy metal content
than liquid. Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus
and metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of
erosion. Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil -test phosphores, it
should be applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other
wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value.
The -application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site.
Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which
could increase the concern of neighbors.

Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure
Lagoon failures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure. Types
of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of the
dam. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for
ensuring structure safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures include:
Modification of the lagoon structure -an example is the placement of a pipe
in the dam without proper design and construction. (Consult an expert in
lagoon design before placing any pipes in dams.)
Lagoon liquid levels ---high levels are a safety risk.
Failure to inspect and maintain the dam.
Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon.
Liner integrity ---protect from inlet pipe scouring, damage during sludge
removal, or rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater
table.
NOTE: If lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving water will soon cause
gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly cause a large discharge
of wastewater and possible dam failure.

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. No,rmally 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.
G. 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.)
2640 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 5016 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER -YEAR
2640 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 6072 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. Dermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a
height of about two inches before drilling for best results.

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 976.8 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 4884
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 16.28 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 39.072 acres
of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25o depending on your
sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application
methods.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the
soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This
rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil
texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount
should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the
time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed
,.the nitrogen needs of the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan,
it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure
that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres
shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
Page: 6

Your facility is designed for 1.80.00 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

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 pending should occur in order
to control odor or flies.
�.Y 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.

• 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. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities,
showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the
animal waste management system.
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be
established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms,
pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to
protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and
�.Y 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: 10

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. ,

COUNTY: DUPLIN
Your animal waste utilization plan has been specifically developed
for your operation based on soil types, crops to be grown, and
method of application. Waste must be land applied at a specified
rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or ground water. The
plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the
amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops on the fields
where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses
.nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before
each application and annual soil tests are encouraged so that all
plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crops
to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization
plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and
to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner.
Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the
nutrient content of the waste. The amount of available nitrogen for
plant use is dependant on the method of application. Soil type is
important due to different leaching potential and yield potential.
Waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per
acre per year.. Do not apply waste on saturated soils or on land when
the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff
to surface waters. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid
drift and -downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients
for crop production and reduce the potential for pollution, waste should
be applied to a growing crop or not more than 30 days prior to planting.
Disking in the waste will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
The acres needed to apply the animal waste are based on typical nutrient
content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements may be more
or less based on the waste analysis report from your facility.
Your waste utilization plan is based on the following:

question. Each area to be cleared has been identified with a symbol to denote its classification:
Below is an explanation of the various symbols that may pertain to your map.
x W - Wetland - Area is a wetland and should not be cleared for any reason if you
wish to remain eligible for USDA programs, receive SCS technical assistance, or avoid
violating US Army Corp of Engineers' and Division of Environmental Management
(DEN) regulations. Any exceptions to this statement should be ih writing from the Soil
Conservation Service prior to clearing land.
NW- Non- wetland - Area is non wetland and can be cleared and utilized without
violating Farm Bill.
NW- Non wetland - Area has hydric soils but for Farm Bill purposes only, area is
non wetland due to hydrology modification prior to 12/23185. You still need to check
with the US Army Corp of Engineers or the NC DEM to determine if additional permits
are necessary prior to clearing. 4
CW - Converted Wetland after 11/A/90 - Area was cleared after 11/28/90 and is
a converted wetland. Clearing constitutes a violation of the 1990 Farm Bill, In order to
regain eligibility for USDA programs, area must be restored. Consult with the SCS
about an approved restoration plan before beginning any restoration.
If you need to clear the delineated wetlands for roads, buildings, hog lagoons or similar
activities, you can request a converted wetland for non agricultural use (CWNA) exemption.
If granted, this exemption would be for Farm Bill purposes only; therefore, you would still
need to contact the Army Corp of Engineers and the Division of Environmental Management.
To request a CWNA exemption, you should complete a request form at the SCS office. It will
take approximately 40 days to get this exemption approved once you give this office the
request. Do not start any clearing of wetland prior to receiving. written notification from
this office that your C" NA request has been approved. Also you should not start clearing
until you have received approval from the Army Corp and DEM. All three permits must be
received and approved prior to clearing any wetlands.
I have tried to make this determination as fairly as possible. However if you believe this
determination is incorrect, you have the right to appeal. To appeal send me a brief letter
explaining why you believe this determination is incorrect. Send the letter to the address on
the letterhead. This letter should be received within 15 days of your receipt of this letter.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN'
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment with minimum odor
control. The time required for the planned fluid level to be
reached may vary due to soil conditions,flushing operations, and
the amount of fresh water added to the system.:
Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable
method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set,
center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be
taken when applying waste to prevent runoff from the field or damage
to crops.
The following items are to be carried out:
1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre -
charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during
start-up. Pre -charging reduces the concentration of the initial
waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. solids should be
covered with effluent at all times.
2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This
plan recommends sampling and testing!of waste (see Attachment B)
before land application.
3. Begin pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches eleva-
tion 52.8 as marked by permanent'markers. Stop pump -out when
the fluid level reaches elevation .50.9 or before fluid depth is
less than 6 feet deep (this prevents the loss of favorable
bacteria) .
4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is
one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.4
inch per hour.
5. Keep -vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the
lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed
to maintain a vigorous stand.
6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and
establish in vegetation.
7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable
outlets.
8. The Clean water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of
pollutants into waters of the 0nitedStates. The Department of
Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ-
mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS
----------------------------------------------------------
Clearing:
All trees and brush shall be removedi€rom the construction area
before any excavating or fill is started. Stumps will be removed
within the area of the foundation of;the embankment and fill areas
and all excavated areas. All stumpsand roots exceeding one (1)
inch in diameter shall be removed toga minimum depth of one (1)
foot. Satisfactory disposition will'ibe made of all debris. The
foundation area shall be loosened thoroughly before placement of
embankment material.
Cut-off Trench:
---------------
A cut-off trench (when specified) shall be installed as shown in
the plans.
Construction:
-------------
Construction of excavated and earthfill areas shall be performed to
the neat lines and grades as planned. Deviations from this will
require prior approval of the SCS. Earthfill shall not be placed
in standing water and reasonable compaction of the fills shall be
performed by the construction equipment or sheeps-foot roller during
placement. The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed using
the more impervious materials. Construction of fUl heights shall
include ten (10) percent for settlement. To -protect against -seepage,
when areas of unsuitable materiar are encountered, they will-need•to
be excavated a minimum of one (1) foot below grade and- ackfilled and
compacted with d-suitable"material (ie-Ch SC;CH)'. Refer to the soils
investigation information in the plans for special considerations.
Precautions should be taken during construction to prevent excessive
erosion and sedimentation.
Vegetation:
All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be
seeded to the'planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after
construction.

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

management planning, Farm Ser-Oce
Agency records, university trials, or
inference from crop performance on soil
with very similar physical and chemical
features.
Application rates for nitrogen shall not
exceed the amount determined by the
R.Y.E. concept. Application rates for all
other nutrients shall not exceed the amount
recommended in a soil test report or any
approved source of this information for any
nutrient targeted as a planning priority.
There are situations where a soil test report
would not make a recommendation (based
on economic return, i.e., a soil test index of
51), but an environmental problem would
not result until the index reached 200.
Where animal waste is involved, this
situation may be common. Even where
additional response is not expected, it
should be feasible to add amounts which
will be removed in the harvested crop
without significant degradation of the
environment.
North Carolina. These examples provide
the guidelines for assessing nitrate (NO3)
leaching risk and recommended
management programs. Use Section I-B of
the Technical Guide, leaching index maps,
along with soils information for the field, to
identify the potential for nitrogen loss.
a. The rate of nitrification in North
Carolina soils is extremely rapid, the
leaching of NH4 is likely, the
availability of anhydrous is on the
decline, and the cost of pure nitrate
sources very high. Where high leaching
rates exist, and where appropriate for
the crop in question, nitrogen use
efficiency and environmental safety can
be enhanced by using split applications.
b. On soils of intermediate leaching
potential, split and side dress nitrogen
applications are highly recommended
for best efficiency.
c. For soils with a leaching index (LI) of 2
or less, there is little concern for nitrate
leaching Iosses.

holding capacity (AWHC) of the soil. AWHC is primarily determined by the soil's texture, percent
organic matter and rooting depth. Make your selection from the chart based upon the soil's texture,
inherent ability to produce, the occurrence of necessary conservation practices to protect the resource
base, and the landuser s historical crop production.

NOTE: Reduce all hay crop nitrogen rates by 25 percent when grazing. For etch ton of hay harvested from a
pasture system the nitrogen application may be returned to the RYE (N) application rate for hay.
I When waste is to be applied to soybeans, it should be accomplished at preplant or planting. The crops entire nitrogen
needs should be met with this application
2 N rates in excess of 120 pounds per acre are seldom justified for wheat, barley, oat, rye, triticale, and cotton. Do not
apply more than 100 pounds of N when overseeding small grain or Ryegrass into Bermudagrass.

CONSIDERATIONS
This practice can reduce the likelihood
that applied nutrients would pollute
surface or ground water by limiting the
amount applied to only that needed.
Evaluate the vulnerability of
environmentally sensitive areas and
waters that have been stressed by the
presence of an over abundance of plant
nutrients.
2. Good tilth enhances water infiltration,
thus reducing nutrient removal through
soil erosion. Also adequate soil water is
necessary for efficient nutrient use.
Conservation practices that manage plant
residues should be considered, i.e.:
` :• Residue Management, No -till (320)
Residue Management, Seasonal (344)
Cover and Green Manure Crop (340)
Critical Area Planting (342)
Suiperopping (585 and 586)
Cover crops can be used as scavengers to
take up excess plant nutrients applied in
the previous season to prevent their
movement out of the root zone. Very little
of the scavenged nutrients are available to
the following crop, (usually <I5% of the N
taken up). They should be harvested for
maximum benefit.
4. Organic wastes can provide an important
source of nutrients. State and Iocal
regulations, the NRCS Agriculture Waste
Management Field Handbook, North
Carolina Cooperative Extension Service
(NCCES) Crop Production Guides, North
Carolina State University (NCSU)
Agricultural Chemical Manual, soil test
and waste analysis reports will provide
guidance concerning waste utilization.
5. Sources of plant nutrients may include
residual amounts in the soil, crop residues
including Iegumes, waste products, and
commercial fertilizer. Commercial
590-4
fertilizers are those products with a
guaranteed analysis under North Carolina
law.
Forage plants being used for nitrogen
uptake should be selected based on their
adaptation to the soil. Plants not adapted
to a site will have a short life and
maintaining a vigorous stand will be
difficult.
Plant tissue samples should be taken to
evaluate nutrient status and to support the
need for additional nutrient applications.
Excessive concentrations of one or more
nutrients may induce deficiencies. Soil
pl-hshould be maintained in the optimum
range for each crop to improve
availability of soil and applied nutrients
and to minimize the release of potentially
toxic elements.
9. C Factors from RUSLE can be more
effective in controlling water runoff than
LS and P Factors. C Factors effect root
distribution, soil temperature and a host
of other variables. Numerically low C
Factors buffer yields from climatic
variations most likely by improving
moist -,ire status in the soil. The same C
Factors can increase the likelihood of
Ieaching Iosses. Consider the
environmental impact from increased
leaching.
10. Consider waste storage and treatment
needs to meet application timing as well
as land area requirements for proper waste
utilization.
11. Water table management through
controlled drainage reduces the movement
of nutrients by reducing total outflow
from a managed area and it also promotes
denitrifrcation.

SUBJECT: Crop Management Practices for Select Forages
Used in Waste Management
The toliowbtg is a four -page summary of suggestions for management practices for some
forage crops that can be used in waste managernerit plans. "These suggestions are a result of
discussions within the NC State Ur> versity Forage Production Workgroup, a group cornpriscd
of NC State faculty and NRCS agency personnel with expertise with the crops.
There are limited documented research responses of some of th:• se 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 cone 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 "ryegrass" are being used for winter overseeding in fields used for
animal waste management. Cereal rye is a winter annual smallgrain that looks similar to
wheat, barley and oats. Annual_ryegEg.0 is a winter annual 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 will usually yield between 1-2
tons more per acre than bermuda growing alone for the year. Therefore, the total amount of
PAN /acre for the year is about 100 lbs more than for bermuda alone. Although cereal rye and
annual ryegrass are suitable crops for overseeding, the management of the crops are different
and thus practices implemented are dependent on the crop selected.

shading bermuda and reducirlg its yields. The PAN rate for grazed systems with bermuda
overseeded with cereal rve must be reduced in accordance with MRCS Technical
Standard #590_
Annual Ryegass
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) bermudagra_s 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 tirries the rate for drilled seeds. The last
application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior. to August 31. An
application of 50 lbs/acre of (PAN) may be applied between September 15 and October 30_
An additional 50 lbs/acre. of PAN may be applied in February -March. If additional PAN is
applied to the ryegrass in April -May, the PAN rate for the bermuda must be reduced by a
corresponding amount. This is necessary because ryegrass growth during April -May will
reduce bermuda yields and shorten the time bermuda can fully utilize the N. A harvest is
required by heading or April 7, which ever comes first to prevent shading of emerging
bermuda during April -May period. To favor the production of the bermuda, additional
harvests of ryegrass will be required when the ryegrass canopy reaches 12 to 15 itiches height.
The PAN rate for grazed systems with bermuda overseeded with annual ryegrass must be
reduced in accordance with MRCS Technical Standard #590.

grazed below 6-$ inches stubble.
Application rates are to be based on the realistic N rates that address the N needs per ton of
hay, a realistic yield and an appropriate application window. When harvested as hay in the 24-
36 inch stage of growth, the N rate ranges from 40-50 lbs/ton of dry matter. The PAN rate for
grazed systems must be reduced in accordance with NRCS Technical Standard #590.
The application window for gamagrass is slightly earlier than for berrnuda; garnagrass starts
growing about 3-4 weeks earlier than Coastal bermudagrass and about 2-3 weeks earlier than

Rescuegrass is a cool season grass and snakes most of its growth from March -June and
September -November. It should receive most of its N during the September -October and late

Dear Mr. Stroud:
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

Dear Mr. Stroud:
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
(DEW, 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 [phone].
