NUMBER OF ANIMALS: 1428
(Design Capacity)
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 exchange
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 prior ta�;Ilj4i Injectin the
waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. d`�-"� -T.71EID
APR {f 2 [009
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on tyrl' nutrient content 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 compliance with 15A NCAC
21-1.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Your facility is designed for 107.5 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage
must be removed on the average of once every 3_5 MONTHS. In no instance should the volume
of waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation *see lagoon design.
Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or Soil
and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in
determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the
waste.

Acres shown are covered by a center pivot irrigation system
All land may be grazed. It may be necessary for the produced to transfer water from one lagoon to
another during the winter months due to shorter days of storage in lagoon 2. This will need
to be managed closely.

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.
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.
Page 5

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 courses 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.
Page 6

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.

Legacy Sow Farm
Swine Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Duplin County
On June 11, 2004, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) issued a revised State General
Permit for swine facilities. The General Permit was issued in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill
733 (Session Law 2003-28).
In accordance with your application received on December 14, 2004 and in accordance with the directive
of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to TGB
Farms, LLC, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land
application system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000. The issuance of this COC
supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS310302 which expired October I, 2004.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Legacy Sow Farm, located in Duplin County, with an animal capacity of no
greater than an annual average of 1428 Farrow to Wean 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 September 30, 2009. 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. Since this is a revised State
General Permit, it contains new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained in the
previous 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 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
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

NUMBER OF ANIMALS: 1428
(Design Capacity)
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 exchange
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 prior to planting. Injecting the
waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
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. 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 compliance with 15A
NCAC 21-1.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

be removed on the average of once every 6 MONTHS. In no instance should the volume of
waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation "see lagoon design.
Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or Soil
and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in
determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the
waste.

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.
Page 5

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 courses 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.
Page 6

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.

*This N is from animal waste only. If nutrients from other sources such as commercial fertilizer are
applied, they must be accounted for.
NOTE: The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N
requirements. Beginning in 1996 the Coastal Zone Management Act will require farmers in some
eastern counties of North Caroline to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients.
This plan only addresses Nitrogen.

THIS TABLE IS NOT NEEDED IF WASTE IS NOT BEING APPLIED BY IRRIGATION, HOWEVER A SIMILAR TABLE
WILL BE NEEDED FOR DRY LITTER OR SLURRY.
Your facility is designed for M days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every fa MONTHS. In no instance should the volume of
waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation *see lagoon design.
Cali the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or Soil
and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in
determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the
waste.
Narrative of operation:
Acres shown have been reduced by 25% from gross field acreage, thus complying with wetted
acreage criteria. On field 2, grower must follow the application windows shown and remove
small grain by April 7 to use the 100 lb. PAN rate shown.

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.
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.

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 courses 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.

(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-p[ant 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 80 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.

Owner / Manager Agreement
I (we) understand and will follow and implement the specifications and the operation and
maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste utilization plan for the
farm named above. I (we) know that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the
waste treatment and storage system or construction of new facilities will require a new
certification to be submitted to the Division of Environment Management (DEM) before the
new animals are stocked. I (we) also understand that there must be no discharge of
animal waste from this system to surface waters of the state from a storm event less
severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm. The approved plan will be filed on -site at the farm
office and at the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation District and will be
available for review by DEM upon request.

Subject: Notification for Wettable Acre Determination
Animal Waste Management System
Legacy Sow Farm
Facility Number 31-302
Duplin County
A letter dated January 15, 1999 was sent to advise you about concerns associated with Certified Animal
Waste Management Plans and the method by which the irrigated acres within the plans were calculated. Only
the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application. Any
acreage within the plan that can not be reached by waste application equipment can not be Used as part of your
Plan.
An evaluation by Scott Faircloth on I 1/]7/99 was made to review the actual number of acres at your
facility that receive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of
the following two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X".
Category 1:
❑ The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please
contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Scott Faircloth the necessary
information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre
determination. Please submit.this information to Scott Faircloth, at 225 Green Street, Suite
714, Fayetteville, NC 28301, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you have any
questions please contact Scott Faircloth at [phone]. If within 90 days you are
unable to provide Scott Faircloth with the information you are automatically required
to complete a Wettable Acre Determination as described by Category 2 below, within
180 days of receipt of this letter.

Cate ory 2:
Your facility has been identified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
as a facility that may have overestimated the number of acres actually receiving animal
waste. Therefore, some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates
set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him
or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must
be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct
Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension
Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation
Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special
designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this
designation, or a Professional Engineer.
All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and
the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be retumed to DWQ within the next
180 days. If the needed modifications are not made and if the form Is not returned within the
required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility
into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation,
and/or injunctive relief.
Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable
Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please
note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all
the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan
must be kept at your facility. DWQ and the Division of Soil & Water Conservation Staff will
review all documentation during their annual visit of your facility. An additional copy must by
kept on file at the local Soil & Water Conservation District Office. Please note that if you install
or modify your irrigation system, a designated Irrigation Specialist or a Professional Engineer
must also sign the Wettable Acre Determination Certification.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Sonya Avant of our
Central Office staff at [phone] ext. 571.

Dean, I appreciate you comments. The only retrofit that is going on is
improving the equipment, sow crates, feed systems, etc... in the existing
buildings. The steady state live weight of the farm will remain unchanged. A
permit application to combine the two farms was sent in a couple of weeks ago,
with the plan that I sent to you. I was unable to do a true wetted acres at the
time of the last plan because the owners were considering using a third party
applicator. They have decided now to use a 2.5" reel until they install the
pivot this Fall. The owners were in here yesterday and I gave them guidance on
flowrates, spacings, keeping records by pulls, etc... for the 2.5" reel. My
only hesitation in doing a wetted acres design now is that in 2 to 3 months, the
system will change to a pivot that I will have to fully design, and I have a
stack on my desk that are due or will be due shortly. I feel that the 25%
reduction accomplishes the purposes of the wetted acreage program, and should
suffice for now. If you disagree, let me know. Thanks. KW

Kraig,
I got a waste plan in today based on 75% of acreage on the map provided
for exemption from Wetted Acres. However, one farm was flagged and the
other was exempted in 1999. I could exempt based on it, but am not sure
if I can based on the status in Raleigh. However, I do have a few
comments on the situation.
Based on the fact that these sites are going thru a major retrofit I
believe that it would be in the best interest of everyone to have a true
design done for the "new" facility. I have no idea what system was used
in the past for each site or what they propose to use once production
starts again. 1 figured that since it is based on 75% that they had
very little or no installed system.
I understand from Stoney that they are looking at a center pivot system
and plan on using aluminum pipe and a traveler of unknown size from some
other location. Until something is decided on for the pivots, perhaps a
rough wetted acres plan or true design should be developed for at least
set-ups using their traveler. If they decide to go with installed
hydrants instead, then they have a design completed for installation and
all the info needed like acreage and flow rate (gpm).
Any questions or comments, then let me know.

Stoney, attached is the combined Waste Utilization Plan for the Legacy Sow Farm,
formally Lewis and Hubert Summerlin. The acreages shown in the plan are 75% of
the field acres shown on the FSA map for the fields listed. This should comply
with wetted acreage criteria. The owners of Legacy will be using above ground
aluminum pipe and travellers for irrigation until a pivot is installed on this
farm. I have sent a request in to Sue Homewood to combine the two existing
permits for this farm into one. That request was sent in last week Thursday.
If there are any further requests or questions, let me know. Thanks, KW.

Dear Sirs:
On March 22, 2001, I performed inspections of the referenced facilities. During the
inspections, I observed several items which need to be addressed.
1) The facilities are being operated as one combined facility. It was indicated during
the inspection that the type of animal operation (farrow to wean, farrow to feeder,
etc.) and the total number of animals for the combination of the facilities may be
different from that of the two facilities as when they were operated separately. A
Technical Specialist Certification needs to be completed for the type of operation
and number of animals for the combined operation.
2) A new Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) needs to be completed for the combination
of the facilities. The WUP must be signed and dated by both the owner of the
facility and the technical specialist completing the WUP. The WUP should be
completed at the same time that the Technical Specialist Certification is
completed.
3) An application for coverage under the General Permit needs to be completed and
sent for the combination of the facilities.

4) During the inspection there was discussion that a center pivot system may be
installed at the facility some time in the future. You presented several options for
handling the animal waste generated until such a system is installed. Please
provide an update as to the status and timeframe of having the center pivot
installed' and provide specific details as to how the animal waste is being handled
at the facility (is a contract applicator being used, is equipment from other farms
being used, etc.) in the interim.
Please have items 1, 2, and 3 above completed and submit written copies of those items
to this office within 30 days of your receipt of this letter. You should contact a technical

Dear Herbert Summerlin:
In accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.10G, all animal operations who receive an animal
waste management system permit will be charged in each year of the term an annual permit fee. Annual permit fees are
billed following the issuance of the permit and then annually thereafter on the anniversary of that date. Your animal waste
management system permit was issued on 4130/99.
Your annual permit fee for the period of 4/30/99 - 4129/2000 is $150.00. Your payment was due 1011/99.
Because this fee was not fully paid within 30 days after being billed, this letter initiates action to revoke the subject permit,
pursuant to 15 NCAC 2H .0205 (c) (4). and G.S. 143-215.1 (b) (3).
Effective 60 days from receipt of this notice, the subject permit is hereby revoked unless the required Annual
Animal Waste Management System Permit fee for your animal operation is received within that time. Operation of an
animal waste management system without a valid permit is a violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and is
subject to the assessment of a civil penalty of up to $10,000 per day. Your payment should be sent to:

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 31-302
Duplin 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. IRRI, IRR2, DRY], DRY2, DRY3, SLURI, SLUR2,
SLDI, 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

Dear Herbert L. Summerlin, Jr.:
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 the following by March 4, 1999:
Your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) lists the nitrogen uptake for small grain as 75 pounds per acre. The
Sixth Guidance Memorandum to Technical Specialist dated August 18, 1997 states that only 50 pounds of
nitrogen per acre should be applied to small grain overseeded into Bermuda grass. Current guidance allows
for up to 100 pounds of nitrogen per acre under strict management practices as mentioned in the memo.
Please have your technical specialist reduce the nitrogen rate on the winter annuals to 50 pounds per acre or
incorporate the attached management practices into the WUP narrative for the application of 75 pounds of
nitrogen per acre. The application windows should also be revised to April through August for Bermuda
Grass and September to March for Small Grain as stated in the memorandum.
Please provide irrigation system design information.
Please note that all WUP revisions must be signed and dated by boot the owner and the technical specialist. 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 March 4, 1999 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.
If you have any questions regarding this request, please call me at [phone], extension 546.

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 exampte, operating the system with excessive pressure
results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the
sprinkler nozzle. Clogging of nozzles can result in pressure increase. Plugged
intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure. Operating
below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application
uniformity.
For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to
ensure proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every
three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring_ flow at
several locations in the application area. Any number of containers can be used. to
collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because
they already have a graduated scale from which to read the application amount
without having to perform additional calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets,
jars, or anything with a uniform opening and cross-section can be used providers
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 al l
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 Iagoon 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 Iiquid. 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 Iagoon 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 Iaw 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 ta= ater-
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:
I . 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 Ievel. 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
Iagoon 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 Iining 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 Iagoons 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.

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 I 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, Iong-stemmed forage or vegetation,
molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon.
Frequently remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or
wherever they are installed.
Maintain strict vegetation, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges.
Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embankment.
Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is
full or before it fills 50 percent of the permanent storage volume.
If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for
obtaining and implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility of a
pollutant discharge.
Sludge Removal:
Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by:

proper lagoon sizing,
mechanical solids separation of flushed waste,
gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or
minimizing feed wastage and spillage.
Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will:
have more nutrients,
have more odor, and
require more land to properly use the nutrients.
Removal techniques:
Hire a custom applicator.
Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper -agitator impeller
pump through large -bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland;
and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; mix remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator; haul
and spread onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; dredge_sludge from lagoon with dragline or sludge barge; berm
an area beside lagoon to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back
into lagoon; allow sludge to dewater; haul and spread with manure spreader
onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste
constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain, different
nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields will be
limited .by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field and crop
requirement. Waste application rates will be discussed in detail- in .Chapter 3.
When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage. Close
attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner remains
intact. If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should
stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can removed without 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 Iead 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 Iowering Iagoon 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.

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN

Telephone: [phone]
Type Operation: Existing Farrow to Feeder Swine
Number of Animals: 600.00 sows
(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.

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
S. 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.)
600 sows x 7.3 tons waste/sows/year = 4380 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
600 sows x 6.5 -lbs'PAN/sows/year = 3900 lbs. PAN/year
Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan
time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely
manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on
the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded
in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing,
hay and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed
when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle
should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four
inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed
for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small
grain to reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too
high and this will definitely interfere with stand of
bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced
yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than
cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as
is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small
grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or
silage two to three times during the season, depending on
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late
September or early October. Drilling is recommended over
broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a
height of about two inches before drilling for best results.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the
usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches,
odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving
full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total
acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than
the acres shown in the tables.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of
animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land
application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient
rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application
of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce
approximately 660 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 3300
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 11 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 26.4 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: 7

* 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

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 I 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: 10

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
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: 11

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

Careful Soil Sampling
The Key to Reliable Soil Test Information
J. V. Baird, Extension Soil Science Specialist (retired)
Steven C. Hodges, Extension Soil Science Specialist
J. Paul Lilly, Extension Soil Science Specialist
J. P. Zublena, Associate State Program Leader NR/CRD,
M. Ray Tucker, Agronomist, Agronomic Division, NCDA
Published by North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service
Publication Number: AG-439-30 (Replaces AG-472) Revised: May 1994
Last Electronic Revision: May 1995 (DAC)
When you submit soil'samples for laboratory analysis, you need and expect reliable
results. Because the test report is used in making decisions about liming and..
fertilization, its accuracy can affect your costs and yields. In other words, getting
accurate results can make a difference in dollars and cents.
The reliability of the soil test, however, can be no better than the sample you submit.
For results you can depend on, it is vitally important that you take samples in a way
that accurately represents the soil on your farm.
This publication tells how to obtain representative soil samples and to submit them for
analysis.

Where to Take Samples
You can obtain an aerial photograph of your farm from the county Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation Service office (ASCS). Outline your farm or field boundaries directly on the photo or
make a Iarger and more detailed map using the photo as a guide. Then assign a permanent code to each
field or management area. Coding the areas will enable you to keep records of the soil treatments
applied and the crop yields obtained from each area. For your convenience in submitting soil samples,
assign each area a code consisting of no more than three characters numbers-, letters, or both.
Every soil sample you submit for testing should consist of about 15 to 20 cores taken at random
locations throughout one field or area. A sample should include cores from no more than about 20 acres
even if the soil appears to be uniform over a larger area. -
Keep in mind that each sample should represent only one general soil type or condition. If the field you
are sampling contains areas that are obviously different in slope, color, drainage, and texture and if those
areas can be fertilized separately, submit a separate sample (consisting of 15 to 20 cores) for each area.
(See Figure 1).
Figure 1. Within each field, collect a separate sample for each area that has a different type of soil.
When collecting samples, avoid small areas where the soil conditions are obviously different from those
in the rest ofthe field for example, wet spots, old manure and urine spots, places where wood piles have
been burned, severely eroded areas, old building sites, fence'rows, spoil banks, and burn -row areas. Also
avoid the fertilizer bands in fields where row crops have been grown. Because samples taken from these
locations would not be typical of the soil in the rest of the field, including them could produce
misleading results.
Areas within a field where different crops have been grown in the past should be sampled separately,
even if you now plan to grow the same crop in the whole field. Areas that have been limed and fertilized
differently from the rest of the field should also be sampled separately.
Sampling Problem Areas

In fields or areas where fertility problems appear to be the cause of abnormal crop growth, samples
should be collected in a somewhat different way from samples used for routine testing. At the same time
you collect topsoil samples, collect subsoil samples at a depth from 8 to 16 inches, but keep the two
types of samples separate. Follow the guidelines for collecting a good, representative sample, taking
cores at random locations throughout the problem area even though it may be relatively small. At the
same time, collect a representative sample from normal areas of the same field.
More detailed information on collecting samples from problem areas is given in form AD2, "Problem
Area Soil Sample Information." Copies can be obtained from your county Extension Center, North
Carolina Department of Agriculture regional agronomists, local agri-business's, or the North Carolina
Department of Agriculture (NCDA), Agronomic Division, 4300 Reedy Creek Road, Raleigh, NC
27607-6465.
When to Take Samples
Collect samples three to six months before planting time. You will then have the test report in time to
plan your liming and fertilization program before the busy planting season. If you submit samples
immediately after harvest in the fall, you are likely to receive the results promptly because the laboratory
work Ioad is lighter at that time than in the spring. If possible, try to collect your samples at the same
time every year.
Do not collect samples when the soil is too wet because it will be difficult to mix the cores. As a rule, if
the soil is too wet to plow, it is too wet to sample.
Sample the soil from perennial or sod -crop areas three to four months before establishing the crop or
applying lime or fertilizer.
How Often to Sample
If your farm is in the coastal plain region, it is best to test the soil every two to three years. The sandy
soils in that. region do not hold nutrients as long as soils in the other parts of the state and are more apt to
become acid through the addition of nitrogen. The -nutrient levels in the silt and clay loam soils of the
piedmont and mountain regions change less rapidly with lime and fertilizer applications. In these areas,
soil testing once every four years is usually sufficient.
A good plan is to sample one-third to one-half of your fields each year if your farm is in the coastal
plains region and one-fourth of your fields each year if you are in the piedmont or mountain regions.
How to Collect a Good Sample
Tools. Collect your samples with stainless steel or chrome -plated sampling tools and plastic buckets to
avoid contaminating the samples with traces of chemical elements (micronutrients) from the sampling
tools. Avoid brass, .bronze, or galvanized tools. A suitable soil probe is shown in Figure 2.

�-51
Figure 2. Use proper tools to collect the soil sample.
Make sure that the buckets and sampling tools are clean and free of lime and fertilizer residues. Even a
small amount of lime or fertilizer transferred from the sampling tools to the soil can seriously
contaminate the sample and produce inaccurate results.
Sampling Depth. For areas in which field crops are grown, collect samples to the same depth that the
field is plowed (usually about 8 inches) because this is the zone in which lime and fertilizer have been
incorporated (Figure 3).
Figure 3. Sample to a depth of 8 inches in fields plowed for row crops, 4 inches where perennial pasture
or turf crops are grown.
For fields when perennial crops such as fescue, alfalfa, and turf are being maintained, samples taken to a
depth of 4 inches will best represent the crop's lime and fertilizer needs. Where these perennial crops are
to be established, however, sample to the regular plow depth.
Submitting the Sample

Soil samples are analyzed by the Agronomic Division of the NCDA. Each sample must be submitted in
a standard soil sample box and accompanied by a completed copy of form AD-], "Soil Sample
Information." The boxes and forms are available from your County Extension Center, NCDA regional
agronomists, local agri-businesses, or the NCDA, Agronomic Division, 4300 Reedy Creek Road,
Raleigh, NC 27607-6465.
Submit your samples only in the standard boxes provided, as shown in Figure 4. Samples sent in bags or
other containers will not be compatible with the processing system used in the laboratory. Do not put a
plastic bag inside the sample box. Seal the shipping box if the soil samples are from a quarantined area.
Figure 4. Thoroughly mix the soil sample and fill the standard NCDA sample box two- thirds full.
The 15- to 20-core sample you have collected will most likely be more soil than the box will hold.
Before filling the box, pulverize the cores and mix them thoroughly in the bucket. Then fill the sample
box about two-thirds full with this mixture.
Label the box with the code you have assigned to the area sample. Remember that the-idemification can
consist of no more than three numbers, letters, or a combination of the two.
Directions for filling out form AD -I, the soil information sheet, are printed on the back of the form. To
get the most value from your soil test, take the time to fill in the blanks completely and be sure to list the
crop or crops to be grown. Also check to make sure that the code you put on the form corresponds to the
code on the sample box and the farm map. Mail the completed form with the sample box, keeping a
copy for your future reference.
If you need assistance in interpreting the soil test results or developing a soil treatment plan, consult
your local agricultural advisors.

Advisory, Agronomic Division, NCDA
Agricultural, industrial, municipal, and yard wastes can be
valuable to farmers provided they are properly managed.
Waste analysis is an important key to proper management. By
determining the amount of nutrients and potentially harmed!
elements in the waste, and by determining the pro(luct's
liming characteristics, growers and other potential users of
these materials can make informed decisions about their
application. From both an economic and an environmental
standpoint, this information benefits all North Carolinians.
Publication Number. AG-439-19
Last Electronic Revision: July 1996 (DAQ This fact sheet will clarify the importance of waste analysis
and describe the procedures for taking reliable samples and
submitting them to the Waste Advisory Section at the
Agronomic Division of the North Carolina Dep-Ptinent of
Agriculture (NCDA).
Why Waste Analysis?
Waste products must be used or disposed of with environmentally sound management practices in order
to prevent damage to our natural resources. Farms' food -processing plants, textile manufacturers,
pharmaceutical companies, wood and paper producers, and municipalities all generate a variety of waste
products --the disposal of which must be managed somewhat differently depending upon the source and
the intended use. Most waste must undergo soine form of processing before it can be applied to the land.

As landfill space becomes increasingly limited, waste producers are being forced to seek alternative
disposal sites or potential recycling opportunities. Land application is one of the safest and most
common alternatives provided that best management practices (BMPs) are followed. Waste products are
generally applied to the land because they contain nutrients or liming materials beneficial to plant
growth. Waste analysis is the most accurate and efficient way to measure the nutrient or lime value of
different waste products. Because the amount of these beneficial components can vary among waste
products, laboratory analysis lets the producer know the proper amount of the waste material to apply to
meet the specific plant needs for each site. When management decisions are made without
waste -analysis information, even wellintentioned users can reduce plant growth and yields or endanger
the environment.
__.Composting can reduce volume, improve uniformity, and sometimes alter the nutrient availability of
waste products. Because of this? samples from the final material that will be applied must be analyzed.

Nutrient concentrations vary in most organic waste products. Table 1, for example, depicttsthe wide
range in nutrients from animal wastes analyzed by the NCDA Agronomic Division. Note that the
maximum and minimum values for nitrogen, phosphate, and potash differ by more than 100-fold. These
numbers should send a clear message to waste users and environmental policymakers: average nutrient
estimates are not adequate guides for the safe and efficient use of waste materials.
Waste users who fail to test each waste material are faced with a number of questions they simply
cannot answer. Are they supplying plants with adequate nutrients? Are they building up excess nutrients
that may ultimately move to streams or groundwater? Are they changing the soil pH to levels that will
not support plant production? Are they applying heavy metals at levels that may be toxic to plants and
permanently alter soil productivity?
Because environmental damage and losses in plant yield and quality often happen before visible plant
symptoms, growers and other users should always have their wastes analyzed by a competent laboratory

and their application rates determined by a knowledgeable agronomist.

Waste Analysis Services
The Waste Advisory Section of the NCDA Agronomic Division analyzes wastes, interprets analytical
results, and provides management recommendations for citizens of North Carolina. The fee is $4.00 per
sample. Private laboratories also offer some of these services and their fees vary.
A good analytical service should always determine the concentrations of essential plant nutrients,
including nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), sulfur (S), iron
(Fe), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), and boron (B). Analyses of certain municipal and
industrial wastes should also include tests for heavy metals like nickel (Ni), cadmium (Cd), and lead
(Pb), as well as elements such as sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cal. The neutralizing value (calcium
carbonate equivalent, CCE) of lime -stabilized products or materials suspected of having liming
characteristics should also be rle.te—rmined

Sampling Procedures.
Proper sampling is the key to reliable waste analysis. Although laboratory procedures are extremely
accurate, they have little value if the samples fail to represent the waste product. The importance of
careful sampling becomes clear when one recognizes that laboratory determinations are made on a
portion of the sample submitted thaws as little as 0.02 pounds (1 gram) for solid materials or less than a
tablespoon (10 milliliters) for liquid materials.
Waste samples submitted to a laboratory should represent the average composition of the material that
will be applied to the field Reliable samples typically consist of material collected from a number of
locations. Precise sampling methods vary according to the type of waste.
Ideally, growers should not base application rates on laboratory test results from previous years because
nutrient concentrations can change significantly, particularly when the waste has been exposed to the
environment. For example, nutrient levels in an anaerobic lagoon can be influenced by rainfall.
Stockpiled litter or other wastes may also change significantly if Ieft unprotected. Municipal and
industrial wastes also vary as production demands alter inputs and processing.

Liquid Wastes
Liquid waste samples submitted for analysis should meet the following requirements.

• Place sample in a sealed plastic container with about a one -quart volume. Glass is not suitable
because it is breakable and may contain c.nntaminants.
• Leave one inch of air space in the plastic container to allow for expansion caused by the release of
gas from the waste material.
• Refrigerate samples that cannot be shipped on the day they are collected; this will minimize
chemical reactions and pressure buildup from gases.
Ideally, some liquid wastes should be sampled after they are thoroughly mixed. Because this is
sometimes impractical, samples can also be taken in accordance with the suggestions that follow.

Figure 3. Solid waste sampling device.
LAGOON LIQUID: Premixing the surface liquid in the lagoon is not needed, provided it is the only
component that is being pumped. Growers with two -stage systems should draw samples from the lagoon
they intend to pump.
Samples should be collected using a plastic container similar to the one shown in Figure 1. One pint of
material should be taken from at least eight sites around the lagoon and then mixed in a plastic
container. Waste should be collected at least six feet from the edge of the lagoon at a depth of about a
foot. Shallower samples from anaerobic lagoons may be less representative than deep samples because
oxygen transfer near the surface sometimes alters the ehemistry of the solution. Floating debris and
scum should be avoided.
One quart of mixed material should be sent to the laboratory. Galvanized containers should never be
used for collection, mixing, or storage due to the risk of contamination from metals like zinc in the
container.
LIQUID SLURRY: Waste materials applied as a slurry from a pit or storage basin should be mixed
prior to sampling. Waste should be collected from approximately eight areas around the p�11 & basin and
mixed thoroughly in a plastic container. Figure 2 shows a useful collecting device. An 8- to 10-foot
section of 0.5- to 0.75-inch plastic pipe can also be used: the pipe should be extended into the pit, and
the thumb pressed over the end to form an air lock; the pipe is then removed from the waste, and the air
lock is released to deposit the waste in a container.
For analysis, the laboratory requires one quart of material in a plastic container. The sample should not
be rinsed into the container because doing so dilutes the mixture and distorts nutrient evaluations.
However, if water is typically added to the waste prior to land application, a proportionate quantity of
water should be added to the sample.
Table of
Contents?

Solid Wastes
Solid waste samples should represent the average moisture content of the waste.
A one -quart sample is required for analysis. Samples should be taken from approximately eight different
areas in the waste, placed in a plastic container, and thoroughly mixed. Approximately one quart of the
mixed sample should be placed in a plastic bag, sealed, and shipped directly to the laboratory. Samples
stored for more than two days should be refrigerated. Figure 3 shows a device for sampling solid waste.
POULTRY IN-HOUSE MANURE SAMPLING: Nutrient concentration varies widely in poultry litter
both from house to house and within each house. If waste.is-to-be applied_by house, each one should be
sampled separately.
Waste samples should be collected from b to 12 locations in the house. Each sample should extend from
the top to the bottom of the accumulated waste. Samples taken around waterers, feeders, and brooders
should be proportionate to the space these areas occupy in the house. The collected material should be
combined in a plastic container and mixed thoroughly. The onequart laboratory sample should be taken
from this mixture.
POULTRY BELOW -HOUSE MANURE SAMPLING: In a highrise system, manure is deposited
below the poultry house. If the system is properly managed, the manure should be fairly uniform in
moisture and appearance.
Approximately eight samples should be collected throughout the storage area. If manure in certain areas
differs in appearance, take samples proportionate to the size and number of these areas. For example, if
10 percent of the manure differs from the bulk pile, then 10 percent of the total sample should be taken
from this area. The collected material should be combined in a plastic container and mixed thoroughly.
The one -quart laboratory sample should be taken from this mixture, placed in a plastic bag, sealed, and
shipped to the laboratory for analysis. If the sample can not be shipped within one day of sampling, it
should be refrigerated.
STOCKPILED LITTER: Ideally, stockpiled waste should be stored under cover on an impervious
surface. The weathered exterior of uncovered waste may not accurately represent the majority of the
material. Rainfall generally moves water-soluble nutrients down into the pile. If an unprotected stockpile
is used over an extended period, it should be sampled before each application.
Stockpiled waste should be sampled at a depth of at least 18 inches at six or more locations_ The
collected material should be combined in a plastic container and mixed thoroughly. The one -quart
laboratory sample should be taken from this mixture, placed in a plastic bag, sealed, and shipped to the
laboratory for analysis. If the sample cannot be shipped within two days of sampling, it should be
refrigerated.
SURFACE -SCRAPED WASTE: Surface -scraped and piled materials should be treated like stockpiled
waste. Follow the same procedures for taking samples. Ideally, surface -scraped materials should be
protected from the weather unless they are used immediately.
COMPOSTED WASTE: Ideally, composted waste should be stored under cover on an impervious

surface. Although nutrients are somewhat stabilized in these materials, some nutrients can leach out
during rains. When composted waste is left unprotected, samples should be submitted to the laboratory
each time the material is applied. Sampling procedures the same as those described for stockpiled waste.

Understanding the Waste Analysis Report
Samples submitted to the NCDA Agronomic Division will be analyzed and the sender will receive a
report that lists the concentration of each plant nutrient and several potentially harmful elements.
Specific concentrations of nutrients and other elements are reported on a dry -weight basis for solid
wastes; results for liquid wastes are reported on a volume basis.
The most useful information is nutrients available for the first crop. These levels are predicted on an
as -is or wet basis. Nutrient availability is predicted by estimating the nutrient release rate from the waste
and a nutrient loss for a specific application method.
Nutrients listed in the report as "availab]e for the first crop" should be used in determining the actual
application rate to meet a specific plant nutrient requirement. For the availability prediction to be
reliable' growers must have properly identified the type of waste and the application method on the
information sheet submitted to the laboratory_
For waste materials suspected of containing liming materials, such as stack dust or lime -stabilized waste,
a calcium -carbonate equivalent (CCE) determination should be requested. These materials are reported
on a dryweight basis for solid and semi -solid materials and on a volume basis for liquids. The CCE can
be used to compare waste materials to agricultural lime for effectiveness in neutralizing soil acidity. The
agricultural lime equivalent (ALE) is also calculated on a wet basis. This indicates the amount of the
waste product that must be applied to have the same liming potential as one from agricultural lime with
90%, CCE.

Monitoring and Record Keeping
Growers who use waste materials as fertilizer or a source of lime should maintain records of the
analytical results, application rates, and soil tests for each application site. Growers are also advised to
take plant samples to evaluate their nutrient management program, identify corrective actions for current
crops, and plan improvements for future crops.
Owners of waste application sites may also wish to sample surface and groundwater supplies once a year
to confirm that nutrient -management programs are not adversely affecting the environment. Where
waste products have been applied regularly for a number of years, growers should also monitor the
buildup of metals that can affect long-term soil productivity, particularly zinc and copper. For municipal
and industrial waste sites, nickel, cadmium, lead, and sodium should also be monitored

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.
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 (329)
Residue Management, Scasonal '(344)
Cover and Green Manure Crop (340)
Critical Area Planting (342)
Striperopping (585 and 586)
Cover crops can be used as scavengers to
take up excess plant nutrients applied in
the previous season to prevent their
movement out of the root zone. Very little
of the scavenged nutrients are available to
the following crop, (usually <15% of the N
taken up). They should be harvested for
maximum benefit.
Organic .wastes can provide an important
source of nutrients. State and local
regulations,'the NRCS Agriculture Waste
Management field Handbook, North
Carolina Cooperative Extension Service
(NCCES) Crop Production Guides; North
Carolina State University (NCSU)
Agricultural Chemical Manual, soil test
and waste analysis reports will provide
guidance concerning waste utilization.
5. Sources of plant nutrients may include
residual amounts in the soil, crop residues
including legumes, waste products, and
commercial fertilizer- Commercial
590-a
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 he 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
plLshould 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 Avater runoff than
LS and P Factors. C Factors effect root
distribution, soil temperature and a host
of other vaziables. Numerically low C
Factors buffer yields from climatic
variations most likely by improving
moisture status in the soil. The same C
Factors can increase the likelihood of
leaching losses. Consider the
environmental impact from increased
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
denitrification.

12, Riparian buffers are very effective in
trapping subsurface nitrate entering a
stream and even sediment, but much less
effective in trapping runoff of soluble
phosphorus. Filter strips and grassed
waterways have little N retention
capacity. Grassed waterways do little to
reduce nutrients and sediments lost from
fields. Based on the most likely pollutant
sources for a site, consider specific
practices which are most likely to reduce
offsite movement of those pollutants.
13. Loss of nitrogen from the soil is
dependent upon climate, soil, and
fertilizer application program. Normally,
with adequate soil moisture, nitrogen loss
potential can be reduced by applying
nitrogen fertilizer close to the time of
greatest crop demand. Split applications
may be needed to accomplish this.
Ammonium forms are taken up by plants
in significant amounts as nitrate within
days after application for most crops.

DATE: July 13, 1998
SUBJECT: Crop Management Practices for Select Forages
Used in Waste Management
The foiJ.ovving is a tour -page summary of suggestions for managernent practices for some
forage crops that can be used in -waste managernerlt plans. These suggestions are a result of
discussions within the NC: State University Forage Production NVorkgroup, a group comprised
of-1\-C State faculty and MRCS agency personnel with expertise with the crops.
There are limited documented research responses of sorrmc of th,rse 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:'
Bermuda Overseeded With Cereal Rye and Annual Ryegrass
CurrentlNr two types of "ryegrass" are being used for winter overseeding in fields Used for
animal waste 'management. Cereal Ky is a winter annual smallgrain that looks similar to
wheat, barley and oats. Annual ryegrass is a winter annual grass that looks much like tall
fescue. Both of these grasses, when growing duruig th,e 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.

Aooual Ryegrass
Annual ryegrass should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter
erflurth. 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 shoe"
bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate
for broadcast planting of seeds - should be I.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 ibs/acrt of (PAN) may be applied between Seprember 15 and October 30_
An additional 50 lbs/a:crle 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 wi11
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 inches height.
The PAN rate for grazed systems with bermuda overseMed with annual ryegrass must be
reduced in accordance with NRCS Technical Standard #590.

hazed 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 lbslton 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 bermuda; gamagrass starts
growing about 3-4 weeks earlier than Coastal ber-mudagrass and about 2-3 weeks earlier than
Tifton 44. Gamagrass is dormant from frost to March. The last application of PAN in the
summer should be prior to August 3L
Rescuegrass (i.e. Matua)
kescuegrass is a cool season grass and makes most of its growth from March -June and
September -November. It should receive most of its N during the September -October and late
February through May months. Limited data are available for realistic yields of reseuegrass
on various soils and at various N levels in North Carolina. However, until further data is
collected the following suggestions may be useful.
1. On sandy, well drained to excessively drained soils, rescuegrass may yield 1.5- 3 times
fescue, assuming a uniform and dense stand of grass is present.

The_ waste from your animal facility must bc::•landarDplied at a
sDilcified rate to prevent pollution of surface •wat-er and/or
,r�)undwater% The plant nutrients in uie animal waste shoulu be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops
',,he `,iel ds where the waste is to he- appJ ied.. .
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. A'ways apply waste based, on. the needs of -the, crap 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
yo,v. 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 ai}imal-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 appl.i_ed.
Provisions shall be -made for the area receiving waste to be flexible
so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type.
Dime must be applie( to maintain pH in the optimum range ff -; 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.)
600 sows x 7.3 tons waste/sows/year = 4380 tons
AMOUNT OF PLAN'T_'_ AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER :YEAR <
600 sows x 6.5 lbs PAN/sows/year = 3900 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.

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.

-he rate of 125 poun_4-s of nitrogen per acre, you will need 26.4 acres
cf 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
r::ethods .
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
Ihe'irrigation application rate should -ot exceed the intake rate of the
soil at the time of irrigation such tha- runoff or ponding occurs. This
-ate is limited by-_itial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil
-exture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount
should not exceed the available water he --ding capacity of the soil at the
-ime of irrigation rcr should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed
vhe nitrogen needs c= the crop.

Bermuda OveTseeded With Cereal Rye and Annual Ryegrass
Current�Iy two types of Yyegrass" are being used for winter overseeding in fields used for
animaf_waste management. Cereal r is a winter annual smaLlgrain that looks similar to
wheat, barley and oats- Annual e_ raS _ is a winter annual grass than looks much. like tall
fescue. Both of these grasses, when growing during the winter on bermuda sod, can have
significa_ra 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 }rear is about 100 lbs mare 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-

Annual Ryegrass
Afinu2l ryegrass should be plantcd by Octo,-er 15 to provide L::-je :_ su opportunity to get wimer
grou.th. The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling ryegrass into short. (less than
inches tall) berrnudagrass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short
berrmda 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 far drilled seeds. The last
application of animal waste is to be applied to the bernirda prior to . August 3 L An
application of 50 lbslacre of (PAN) -may be applied between Sept eanber 15 and.October 30.
An additional 50 lbs/acre of PAN may be applied in February-Maatch If additional PAN is
applied to the ryegrass in April -May, the PAN rate for the bennmda must be reduced by a
corresponding amount. This is necessary because ryegrass . growtb during Aril -May will
reduce berrnuda yields and shorten the time berniuda can fully utiilize the N. A harvest is
required by heading -or April 7, which ever comes first to prevemt shading of emerging
bermuda during April -May period. To --favor the production of ft berrnuda, 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_

harvesting or gr-v-jng management of the winter Fuival crops during February -April Would b,
detrimental to the survival of ganiagrass. Gamagrass should riot normally be harvested or
grated below 6-8 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 accozdahce with MRCS Technical Standard 4590.
The application window for garnagrass is slightly earlier than for bermuda, gamagrass starts
growing about 3-4 weeks earlier than Coastal bermudagrass and about 2-3 weeks earlier than
Tifton 44. "Gamagrass is dormant from frost to March. The last application of PAN in the
summer should be prior to August 3 L
Rescuegrass (i.e. Mama)
Rescuegrass is a cool season grass and makes most of its growth from March -June and
September -November. It should receive rams[ of its N during the September -October and late
February through May months. Limited data are available for realistic yields of rescuegrass
on various soils and at various N levels in North Carolina. However, until further data is
collected the following suggestions may be useful.
On sandy, well drained to excessively drained soils, rescuegrass may yield 1.5- 3 tithes
fescue, assuming a uniform and dense stand of grass is present.

Additional Information Request
HLS Productions Inc.
Animal Waste Operation
Duplin County
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 the following by April 16, 1999:
Your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) lists the nitrogen uptake for small grain as 75 pounds per acre. The
Sixth Guidance Memorandum to Technical Specialist dated August 18, 1997 states that only 50 pounds of
nitrogen per acre should be applied to small grain overseeded into Bermuda grass. Current guidance allows
for up to 100 pounds of nitrogen per acre under strict management practices as mentioned in the memo.
Please have your technical specialist reduce the nitrogen rate on the winter annuals to 50 pounds per acre or
incorporate the attached management practices into the WUP narrative for the application of 75 pounds of
nitrogen per acre. The application windows should also be revised to April through August for Bermuda
Grass and September to March for Small Grain as stated in the memorandum.
2. Please provide irrigation system design information.
Please note that all WUP revisions must be signed and dated by both the owner and the technical specialist. 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 April 16, 1999 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.
If you have any questions regarding this request, please call me at [phone], extension 546.

Dear Mr. Summerlin:
On February 10, 1998, staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of
Water Quality inspected you animal operation and the lagoon(s) serving this operation. It was
observed that there was insufficient freeboard in the lagoon. In addition, large erosion cuts were
present on the inner and outer dike walls of the lagoon. On August 20, 1997, staff from the
Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality inspected your facility. Based on
this inspection, a Notice of Deficiency was issued on August 21, 1997 for erosion on the inner and
outer dike walls of the lagoon.
Insufficient freeboard and ersoion of the lagoon dike wall are violations of your certified
animal waste management plan, and subsequent infractions may result in a Notice of Violation
and include a civil penalty. The level of your waste lagoon must be lowered and maintained and
proper records should be kept in accordance with the NRCS guidelines and the state 2H .0200
rules governing animal waste management systems. The erosion cuts should be filled with a
suitable clay material, compacted and reseeded with an appropriate vegetative cover. 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.

Dear Mr. Summerlin:
On August 20, 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 some erosion
of the clay liner has occurred on both lagoons. Large cuts were observed in various sections of the inner
dike wall around the inlet pipes of the HIS lagoon,and in various sections of the outer dike walls of the
Summerlin lagoon. It is our concern that some of these gullies may become deep enough to cut through the
liner material and sacrifice the integrity of the structure.
As discussed at the time of the inspection, the cuts should be filled with a suitable clay material,
compacted and reseeded with an appropriate vegetative cover. In addition, the broken inlet pipe in the
Summerlin lagoon should be extended further into the lagoon, and the eroded areas backfilled with a suitable
clay material and reseeded with an appropriate vegetative cover. High vegetation and trees on the
Summerlin lagoon should be cut from the lagoon walls. 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. Summerlin:
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
call Beth Buffington or Barry Huneycutt of our staff at 919/733-0026.

Dear Mr. Summerlin:
This is to inform you that your completed registration form required by the recently
modified nondischarge rule has been received by the Division of Environmental Management
(DEM), Water Quality Section.
On December 10, 1992 the Environmental Management Commission adopted a water
quality rule which governs animal waste management systems. The goal of the rule is 'for
animal operations to be managed such that animal waste is not discharged to surface waters
of the state. The rule allows animal waste systems to be "deemed permitted" if certain
minimum criteria are met (15A NCAC 2H .0217). By submitting this registration you have
met one of the criteria for being deemed permitted.
We would like to remind you that existing feedlots which meet the size thresholds
listed in the rule, and any new or expanded feedlots constructed between February 1, 1993
and December 31, 1993 must submit a signed certification form 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].
Sincerely,
Steve Tedder, Chief
