With the survey results, Jonathan Miller from Agriment Services Inc. requested on your behalf an extension of the sludge survey requirement for the lagoon at the Evelyn Basden Farm facility. Due to the amount of treatment volume available, the Division agrees that a sludge survey is not needed until 2017. The next sludge survey for this lagoon should be performed before December 31, 2017. Please call me at (919) 807-6341 if you have any questions. Sincerely, J.R.

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. REC'D APR 0 9 2009 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.

Your facility is designed for 18Q days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every Q MONTHS. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation *see lagoori,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. Narrative of operation: Acres shown are 'wetted' acres using a 3" reel. Bermuda rate is for a combination of haying and grazing. With the rate being used, at least 3.5 tons of bermuda should be removed each year as hay. The remaining bermuda may be grazed. All small grain may be grazed. Page 4 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 30 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strip). Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field. 6 When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation. tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.) Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur 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 - -. 3' 3 ; iNASTE UTiLIZAT Q'N RLAN k K � ° - z 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 berapplied 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 ?-w `WASTEry Tffi1ZATIQN;PLAN L u , 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.

If our records are in error please resubmit the completed PLAT Form for this farm. If the PLAT Form has not been submitted, please do so by May 15, 2006. Condition I.6 of your NPDES Permit states: "If prior to the expiration date of this permit either the state or federal government establishes Phosphorus loss standards that are applicable to land application activities at a facility operating under this permit, the Permittee must conduct an evaluation of the facility and its CAWMP under the requirements of the Phosphorus loss standards to determine the facility's ability to comply with the standards. This evaluation must be documented on forms supplied or approved by the Division and must be submitted to the Division. This evaluation must be completed by existing facilities within six (6) months of receiving notification from the Division. The method of evaluation is the Phosphorous Loss Assessment Tool (PLAT) developed by NC State University and the Natural Resources Conservation Service. PLAT addresses four potential loss pathways: leaching, erosion, runoff and direct movement of waste over the surface. Each field must be individually evaluated and rated as either low, medium, high or very high according to its Phosphorus loss potential. The ratings for your farm must be reported to DWQ using the attached certification form. The PLAT forms must be kept as records on your farm for future reference. Please be advised that this notice does not prevent the Division of Water Quality from taking enforcement actions for any past or future violation.

E., Director Division of Water Quality April 9, 2003 Evelyn Basden Evelyn Basden Farm 4331 E NC 24 Beulaville NC 28518 Subject: Certificate of Coverage No. NCA231369 Evelyn Basden Farm Swine Waste Collection, Treatment, Storage and Application System Duplin County Dear Evelyn Basden: On March 14, 2003, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) issued an NPDES General Permit for swine facilities. The General Permit was issued to enable swine facilities in North Carolina to obtain coverage under a single permit that addresses both State and Federal requirements. In accordance with your application received on January 27, 2003, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Evelyn Basden, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with NPDES General Permit NCA200000. The issuance of this COC supercedes and terminates your COC Number AWS310369 to operate under State Non -Discharge Permit AWG100000. This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management of animal waste from the Evelyn Basden Farm, located in DuplinCounty, with an animal capacity of no greater than an annual average of 3672 Feeder to Finish swine and the application to land as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until July 1, 2007. Pursuant to this COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as specified in the. General. Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and this COC and trust be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals. Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed General Permit. Since this is a new joint State and Federal general permit it contains many new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained in the current State general permit. Enclosed for your convenience is a package containing the new and revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please _pay careful attention to the record kee�in� and monitoring conditions in this hermit.

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 ' surf ace is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. Page: 1 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 5. wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. G. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to*revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.) 3672 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 6976.8 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 3672 hogs x 4.6 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 16891.2 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.

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 1358.64 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 6793.2 pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 22.644 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 54.3456 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: 8 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

Your facility is designed for 180.00 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6.00 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste be stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm. It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

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. S. 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: 13 -" 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 specialisti". 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: 14 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 1$. 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.

Lichtenwalner NCSU This conference was organized by the NC Cooperative Extension Service at the request of producers, extension agents and personnel with the NC Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and the NC Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources (DEHN-R). The purpose of the conference is to present data on a grass, Matua Bromegrass (Bromus willdencwh), that offers potential in waste management systems. Although the Matua grass is just beginning to gain recognition, it is native to NC and is known as rescuegrass to those who are familiar with it. The grass lost out in comparisons to Fescue' because it required higher inputs of nutrients and management. With the development of the Poultry and Swine industries in NC and their concurrent need for waste management, what was previously a disadvantage of Matua may now be an advantage. These conference proceedings contain information from scientists who have studied nutrient uptake by the grass, seed company representatives who are working on the agronomic side of production as well as growers and livestock producers who have had years of experience with grazing management of the grass. A section on questions asked at the conference has been included in these proceedings to hopefully cover most aspects of concern that may arise. A universally recognized need by all participants and attendees at this conference was the need to continue to gather a cross section of the people involved in nutrient management on a regular basis. There is a great need, recognized by both producers and regulatory personnel, for scientifically based information upon which to build systems of management. This conference and these proceedings are just a step toward that point. To put on this conference took a lot of effort by a lot of people. Special thanks need to be given to the Sampson County Extension Staff and to Danny Ayo from Earenbrug Co.

Extension Service (C) OVERSEEDING MATUA into BERMUDAGRASS RE. Lichtenwalner Extension Beef Specialist' NC State University WHY? Although the practice of overseeding bermudagrass, particularly with Abruzzi Rye, has been practiced for many years, the rationale for trying matua was based on three fundamental aspects: 1. Economics. In the past decade the price of Abruzzi rye has more than doubled. In order to establish a sufficient stand for grazing, a minimum of three bushels of rye per acre should be seeded. The cost of three bushels of rye is equal to, and sometimes exceeds, the cost of twenty-five pounds of matua seed. Every year the matua persists further reduces the cost of establishment of a winter/spring forage. 2. Timing. In three out of the past five years, the seeding of rye, or other small grains over bermudagrass; has not resulted in substantial winter grazing. These three years were marked by late summers or fall temperatures which were warm enough to keep the bermudagrass in an active growing condition. When overseeded at the normal time ( October), the growing bermudagrass reduced the stand of the winter grass or significantly impaired its growth. In 1995 and 1996, when it finally turned cold enough to send the bermudagrass into dormancy, it was also cold enough to slow down growth of the rye. In these two years, there was little winter grazing available.- Matua offers two advantages in the timing aspect. Firstly, once established, the seed is already there and will germinate when nature dictates. Secondly, while matua and rye grow somewhat similarly in the cold months of December and January, the matua plant stays in a vegetative state into April/May whereas rye makes a seed -head in March. 3. Oualiu. The nutritive value of matua exceeds that of rye. This is important not only to the stocker operator who needs calves to gain in excess of 1.5 lbs per day, but also to the cow -calf operator who wants to maintain good body condition in the cows. The quality (and quantity) of bermudagrass decreases as it gets later in the season and so cattle go into the winter on a downhill nutritional plane. Having a forage in November and early December is a blessing to cattlemen. (D) ESTABLISHMENT Matua over bermuda or bermuda over matua ? .. In the fall of 1987, approximately 4 acres of bermudagrass were overseeded'with matua. At the same time, a pure stand of matua was established on a block of approximately three acres. Both stands flourished. In May of 1988, after grazing the pure stand of matua, common bermudagrass was seeded into the pure matua block. Although the matua persisted, the bermudagrass never satisfactorily established itself ( only about 1/3 cover) in the pure matua block. The plot where the matua was overseeded into the bermuda resulted in excellent stands of both grasses until the wet winter/spring of 1996-97. Weeds and other grasses invaded the block that was seeded in pure matua and that block was reseeded in spring of 1990. Overseeding matua into bermudagrass : 1. Timing., Matua seedlings are not strong competitors and will not survive if the bermudagrass is still in an active growing state. Seeding by the calendar and historical data as to when frost will occur has resulted in several establishment failures. Therefore, it is recommended that the overseeding of matua into bermudagrass be done after the first frost. It is recognized that grazing days during the first fall will be limited if not completely eliminated. However, there will be a complete stand to graze later that year. 2. Seedins. Successful stands have been established by both broadcasting and conventional drilling. The problems encountered with broadcasting are environmental, such as heavy rains, dry periods, etc., which result in a reduction in stand. The major problem associated with drilling is seeding at too deep a level. Even when seeded too deeply, the stand was good but delayed. It is not necessary to use a sod seeding drill if the bermuda has been grazed. Mowing before seeding produces a heavy thatch in spots which grain drills do not readily penetrate. Excellent stands have been established when seeding with a regular grain drill after a rain softened the ground. Seeding rate is somewhat dependant upon the grazing demands of the first year. Since matua is a prolific seed producer, the stand the second year will naturally.be much thicker than the first year stand. If there is not a strong need for grazing the first year, drilling 25 pounds per acre have produced good stands. Drilling rates of 35 pounds per acre have produced much thicker first year stands and more grazing. There were no visual differences in the second year stands between the two first year seeding rates. Broadcast rates have been about 35 to 40 pounds per acre. RE-SEEDING;1.,, ,. It is imperative that the' plant be allowed to mature and make a seedhead at some time during the year. The Matua plant is'not a long-lived plant like fescue. Most matua plants live, at maximum,, two years; therefore, unless one is willing to purchase new seed every year, the plant needs to be managed to allow seedhead production. If animals are allowed to graze continually, the plant will stay in a vegetative state. However, it only takes another two to three weeks beyond the normal grazing period to get the plant to the mature seedhead stage. The timing of the natural matua seedhead production coincides with the time of bermudagrass growth. As the matua seedhead matures, more and more sunlight filters through the canopy resulting in more growth of bermudagrass. When the mature matua is grazed there is a solid stand of bermudagrass which is also grazed. In the matua blocks that are allowed to make a seedhead in May, some matua will come back in June but bermudagrass will completely dominate by July. Making hay out of a mature matua stand has not resulted in a sufficient amount of seed "shake -out" to re-establish a complete stand. There will be matua present in the field where the hay is fed but only about half a stand in the field where the hay was made. Clipping the tops with a bush hog has resulted in sufficient seed drop to establish a stand the following year. Ruminants will spread the matua seed via the manure so if there is a field where another grass is not wanted (commercial hay field), animals being fed mature matua hay should be denied access to that field. GRAZING Matua is not only a high input grass as far as fertilizer needs are concerned, it is also a high input grass when it comes to grazing management. The facilities and management should be such that cattle can be readilly moved from paddock to paddock whenever conditions dictate. Two management principles for matua are: 1. graze matua when the plant is 12 inches tall, unless a) seedhead production is desired b) 'damage to the plant from frost or fungus in which case grazing is used to remove damaged plant and initiate re -growth. 2. do not graze down to ground; leaving a 3 inch residue results in faster re -growth. Grazing down to the ground does not eliminate the grass ( as for example with millet or orchardgrass), it just takes longer to reach the re -grazing state. Matua is ready for re -grazing approximately every two weeks. At re- seeding time (May/June), 'grazing is delayed for approximately another two weeks to allow the seedheads to mature. When the seeds can be dislodged from the seedhead, the cattle can be turned into the pastures. Whatever the stocking rate, t4GfB • I Un;+ = ,3. j 1 bf N Jra je.- FERTILIZATION --< 1. Start-uo fertilizer. The application of fertilizer at seeding time is influenced by the nitrogen uptake by the bermudagrass. Generally, there are sufficient soil nutrients to establish the stand and start-up fertilization is not necessary. However, there have been instances where no mid -summer application of nitrogen was made for the bermudagrass and the matua seedlings "stalled" at about the 3 inch height. Application of 40 to 60 units of nitrogen at a month after seeding (seedlings about 6 inches in height) will keep the plant growing. This application, however, is dependant upon the season of the year and grazing plans. If the seeding was done early in the year (October), fertilization in early November will feed plant re -growth after grazing in November and December. Contrastingly, if it is mid -December before the plant is at the 6 inch height, fertilization should be delayed until February or whenever grazing will start. 2. Fertilization during &razingseason. Under a controlled grazing system, matua is gazed approximately twice a month. This grazing commences about February and lasts until the plant is allowed to make a seedhead in May or June. The application of a heavy (250 lbs.N) one -dose of fertilizer in February has resulted in reduced seed production as compared to split applications of a similar amount. The 250 units of N is a figure arrived at after several years. Initially, a level of 100 units of N was applied and it was evident that the crop was being starved. In subsequent years, 150 units and then 200 units were tried and proved inadequate before the 250 unit level was tried in a heavy soil. Higher levels may result in more growth but may not be economically justifiable. The timing of this nitrogen application has been as.early_as the conditions will allow which has usually been late February or early March. The second application is then made in late April or early May. The plant makes a seedhead in May or June and bermudagrass then becomes the dominant grass. In Summer, the bermudagrass may receive one or two doses of nitrogen depending on when the matua was allowed to make a seedhead. Those blocks in which the Matua was allowed to mature in May.will receive two doses whereas those blocks that matured in June receive only one dose. The amount of nitrogen applied is 150 units in the one dose block and a totoal of 200 units in the two dose block. After frost, the Matua comes up as a "green carpet" through the bermuda. This growth is almost entirely from seeds dropped in late Spring and not from surviving plants. Growth of this crop will diminish unless it is fertilized. The amount of fertilization is dependant upon the weather. Early frosts (October) allow for approximately sixty days of grazing which demands fertilization with about 100 units of N_ In years where the frost is late (November), about 50 units of N are applied per acre. This caries the'crop until early Spring when the cycle is repeated. a Oeprrtrrrent o: Crop S=:4nc,< ✓L t i.a n�siy C4 A «eAWPI-e f tw U•hnn4 N r1rnu.

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 thb fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner: 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding -at less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either. of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. Page: 1 a ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 5. wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 .days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to"revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from .your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

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 1358.64 pounds of plant available.nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 6793.2 pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you. will need 22.644 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 54.3456 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25s 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: 8 ANIMAL WASTE IITILIZATION PLAN amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may snake this plan invalid.

FORWARD ,by Richard E. Lichtenwalner NCSU This conference was organized by the NC Cooperative Extension Service at the request of producers, extension agents and personnel with the NC Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and the NC Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources (DEHNR). The purpose of the conference is to present data on a grass, Matua Bromegrass (Bromus wilkknawii), that offers potential in waste management systems. Although the Matua grass is just beginning to gain recognition, it is native to NC and is known as rescuegrass to those who are familiar with it. The grass lost out in comparisons to Fescue because it required higher inputs of nutrients and management. With the development of the Poultry and Swine industries in NC and their concurrent need for waste management, what was previously a disadvantage of Matua may now be an advantage. These conference proceedings contain information from scientists who have studied nutrient uptake by the grass,'seed company representatives who are working on the agronomic side of production as well as growers and livestock producers who have had years of experience with grazing management of the grass. A section on questions asked at the conference has been included in these proceedings to hopefully cover most aspects of concern that may arise. A universally recognized need by all participants and attendees at this conference was the need to continue to gather a cross section of the people involved in nutrient management on a regular basis. There is a great need, recognized by both producers and regulatory personnel, for scientifically based information upon which to build systems of management. This conference and these proceedings are just a step toward that point. To put on this conference took a lot of effort by a lot of people. Special thanks need to be given to the Sampson County Extension Staff and to Danny Ayo from Earenbrug Co.

Extension Service (C) into BERMUDAGRASS RE. Lichtenwalner Extension Beef Specialist NC State University WHY Although the practice of overseeding bermudagrass, particularly with Abruzzi Rye, has been practiced for many years, the rationale for trying matua was based on three fundamental aspects: 1. Economics. In the past decade the price of Abruzzi rye has more than doubled. In order to establish a sufficient stand for grazing, a minimum of three bushels of rye per acre should be seeded. The cost of three bushels of rye is equal to, and sometimes exceeds, the cost of twenty-five pounds of matua seed. Every year the matua persists further reduces the cost of establishment of a winter/spring forage. 2_ Timine. In three out of the past five years, the seeding of rye, or other small grains over bermudagrass, has not resulted in substantial winter grazing. These three years were marked by late summers or fall temperatures which were warm enough to keep the bermudagrass in an active growing condition. When overseeded at the normal time ( October), the growing bermudagrass reduced the stand of the winter grass -or significantly impaired its growth. In 1995 and 1996, when it finally turned cold enough to send the bermudagrass into dormancy, it was also cold enough to slow down growth of the rye. In these two years, there was little winter grazing available. Matua offers two advantages in the timing aspect. Firstly, once established, the seed is already there and will germinate when nature dictates. Secondly, while matua and rye grow somewhat similarly in the cold months of December and January, the matua plant stays in a vegetative state into ApdWay whereas rye makes a seed -head in March. 3. Ouality. The nutritive value of matua exceeds that of rye. This is important not only to the stocker operator who needs calves to gain in excess of 1.5 lbs per day, but also to the cow -calf operator who wants to maintain good body condition in the cows. The quality (and quantity) of bermudagrass decreases as it gets later in the season and so cattle go into the winter on a downhill nutritional plane'. Having a forage in November and early December is a blessing to cattlemen. (D) Y J lf.i•t!p- 'y..

At the same time, a pure stand of matua was established on a block of approximately three acres. Both stands flourished. In May of 1998, after grazing the pure stand of matua, common bermudagrass was seeded into the pure matua block. Although the matua persisted, the bermudagrass never satisfactorily established itself ( only about 1/3 cover) in the pure matua block. The plot where the matua was overseeded into the bermuda resulted in excellent stands of both grasses until the wet winter/spring of i 996-97. Weeds and other grasses invaded the block that was seeded in pure matua and that block was reseeded in spring of 1990. 4verseeding matua into bermudagrass : 1. Timing. Matua seedlings are not strong competitors and will not survive if the bermudagrass is still in an active growing state. Seeding by the calendar and historical data as to when frost will occur has resulted in several establishment failures. Therefore, it is recommended that the overseeding of matua into bermudagrass be done after the first frost. It is recognized that grazing days during the first fall will be limited if not completely eliminated. However, there will be a complete stand to graze later that year. 2, Seeding. Successful stands have been established by both broadcasting and conventional drilling. The problems encountered with broadcasting are environmental, such as heavy rains, dry periods, etc., which result in a reduction in stand. The major problem associated with drilling is seeding at too deep a level. Even when seeded too deeply, the stand was good but delayed. It is not necessary to use a sod seeding drill if the bermuda has been grazed. Mowing before seeding produces a heavy thatch in spots which grain drills do not readily penetrate. Excellent stands have been established when seeding with a regular grain drill after a rain softened the ground. Seeding rate is somewhat dependant upon the grazing demands of the first year. Since matua is a prolific seed producer, the stand the second year will naturally.be much thicker than the first year stand. If there is not a strong need for grazing the first year, drilling 25 pounds per acre have produced good stands. Drilling rates of 35 pounds per acre have produced much thicker first year stands and more grazing. There were no visual differences in the second year stands between the two first year seeding rates. Broadcast rates have been about 35 to 40 pounds per acre. SEE01NGy it is'iniperative:that the plant be allowed io mature and make a'seedhead at some time'durmg`the year.ghe Matua plant is -not 'lonj=lived plant like fescue. Most matua-live, at ma cmm ii,itwo years; therefore, uiiless one is willing to purchase new seed every year, the plant needs to be managed to allow seedhead production. If animals are allowed to graze continually, the plant will stay in a vegetative state. However, it only takes another two to three weeks beyond the normal grazing period to get the plant to the mature seedhead stage. The timing of the natural matua seedhead production coincides with the time of bermudagrass growth. As the matua seedhead matures, more and more sunlight filters through the canopy resulting in more growth of bermudagrass. When the mature matua is grazed there is a solid stand of bermudagrass which is also grazed. In the matua blocks that are allowed to make a seedhead in May, . some matua will come back in June but bermudagrass will completely. dominate by July. Making hay out of a mature matua stand has not resulted in a sufficient amount of seed "shake -out" to re-establish a complete stand. There will be matua present in the field where the hay is fed but only about half a stand in the field where the hay was made. Clipping the tops with a bush hog has resulted in sufficient seed drop to establish a stand the following year. Ruminants will spread the matua seed via the manure so if there is a field where another grass is not wanted (commercial hay field), animals being fed mature matua hay_ should be denied access to that field. GRAZING Matua is not only a high input grass as far as fertilizer needs are concerned, it is also a high input grass when it comes to grazing management. The facilities and management should be such that cattle can be readilly moved from paddock to paddock whenever conditions dictate. Two management principles for matua are: 1. graze matua when the plant is 12 inches tall, unless a) seedhead production is desired b) damage to the plant from frost or fungus in which case grazing is used to remove damaged plant and initiate re -growth. 2. do not graze down to ground; leaving a 3 inch residue results in faster re -growth. Grazing down to the ground does not eliminate the grass ( as for example with mullet or orchardgrass), it just takes longer to reach the re -grazing state. Matua is ready for re -grazing approximately every two weeks. At re- seeding time (May/June),'grazing is delayed for approximately another two weeks to allow the seedheads to mature. When the seeds can be dislodged from the seedhead, the cattle can be turned into the pastures.

T r - r.;;1 s �' 1.'Start-uii 1�'ertitizeir. ;The application of fertlizer at seeding time is _ influenced by the niff6gen uptake by the bernwdigrass: Generally;°there_ are-s sufficient soil nutrients to'establish the'stand and start-up'fertilization is not necessary. However, there have been instances where no mid -summer application of nitrogen was made for the bermudagrass and the matua seedlings "stalled" at about the 3 inch height. Application of 40 to 60 units of nitrogen at a month after seeding (seedlings about 6 inches in height) will keep the plant growing. This application, however, is dependant upon the season of the year and grazing plans. If the seeding was done early in the year (October), fertilization in early November will feed plant re -growth after grazing in November and December. Contrastingly, if it is mid -December before the plant is at the 6 inch height, fertilization should be delayed until February or whenever grazing will start. 2. Fertilization during grazing season. Under a controlled grazing system, matua is grazed approximately twice a month. This grazing commences about February and lasts until the plant is allowed to make a seedhead in May or June. The application of a heavy (250 lbs.N) one -dose of fertilizer in February has resulted in reduced seed production as compared to split applications of a similar amount. The 250 units of N is a figure arrived at after several years. Initially, a level of 100 units of N was applied and it was evident that the crop was being starved. In subsequent years, 150 units and then 200 units were tried and proved inadequate before the 250 unit level was tried in a heavy soil. Higher levels may result in more growth but may not be economically justifiable. The timing of this nitrogen application has been as early.as the conditions will allow which has usually been late February or early March. The second application is then made in late April or early May. The plant makes a seedhead in May or June and bermudagrass then becomes the dominant grass. In Summer, the bermudagrass may receive one or two doses of nitrogen depending on when the matua was allowed to make a seedhead. Those blocks in which the Matua was allowed to mature in May.will receive two doses whereas those blocks that matured in June receive only one dose. The amount of nitrogen applied is 150 units in the one dose block and a totoal of 200 units in the two dose block. After frost, the Matua comes up as a "green carpet" through the bermuda. This growth is almost entirely from seeds dropped in late Spring and not from surviving plants. Growth of this crop will diminish unless it is fertilized. The amount of fertilization is dependant upon the weather. Early frosts (October) allow for approximately sixty days of grazing which demands fertilization with about 100 units of N. In years where the frost is late (November), about 50 units of N are applied per acre. This carries the'crop until early Spring when the cycle is repeated.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner: 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than •10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4.' Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. Page: 1 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and . reduce odor problems.' This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If. you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels.for different application methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to'accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.) 3672 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 6976.8 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 3672 logs x 4.6 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 16891.2 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.

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 1358.64 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 6793.2 pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 22.644 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 54.3456 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25%s 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.

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. G. 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. s: Page: 13 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. il. 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. is. 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: 14 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN t� REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 18. If animal production at the facility 'is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied preplant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that.meets North Carolina regulations.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner: 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is -not allowed under DWQ regulations. Page: 1 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.) 3672 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 6976.8 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 3672 hogs x 4.6 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 16891.2 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.

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 1358.64 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 6793.2 pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 22.644 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 54.3456 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application methods. APPLICATION OF 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: 8 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

Page: 12 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: 13 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 10. Waste nutrients shall not be appliedin 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: 14 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied preplant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of -the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining element. zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five ( 5 ) years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Producer: EVELYN BASDEN Location: 4331 E NC 24 BEULAVILLE NC 28518 Telephone: 910--298--4794 Type Operation: New Feeder to Finish Swine �U WATER Number of Animals: 3672.00 hogs NQ0.D� (Design Capacity) alhwigp !%Q am1�Rg N STORAGE STRUCTURE: Anaerobic Waste Treatment Lagoon APPLICATION METHOD: Irrigation The waste from your animal facility must_ be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner: 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. 2.• Soil -types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding -at less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. Page: 1 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to'revise this plan. ' Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.) 3672 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 6976.8 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 3672 hogs x 4.6 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 16891.2 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.

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 1358.64 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 will need 22.644 acres of land. If you the rate of 12S pounds of nitrogen per of land. Please be aware that these ar land needed. Actual requirements could sludge waste analysis, soil types, real methods. you will have approximately 6793.2 apply this PAN to hybrid pounds of nitrogen per acre, you apply the sludge to corn at acre, you will need 54.3456 acres e only estimates of the PAN and' vary by 2511 depending on your istic yields, and application 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: 8 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

In many situations, the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions. Your facility is designed for 180.00 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6.00 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste be stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm. It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior .to applying the waste. Page: 11 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: 13 WASTE DTILIZATION 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: 14 WASTE IITILIZATION 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.

'�' February 19, 1998 . FORWARD by Richard E. Lichtenwalner, NCSU This conference was organized by the NC Cooperative Extension Service at the request of producers, extension agents and personnel with the NC Natural Resources Conservation Service (MRCS) and the NC Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources (DEHNR). The purpose of the conference is to present data on a grass, Matua Bromegrass (Bromus wilkdenawii), that offers potential in waste management systems. Although the Matua grass is just beginning to gain recognition, it is native to NC and is known as rescuegrass to those who are familiar with it. The grass lost out in comparisons to Fescue because it required higher inputs of nutrients and management. With the development of the Poultry and Swine industries in NC and their concurrent need for waste management, what was previously a disadvantage of Matua. may now be an advantage. These conference proceedings contain information from scientists who have studied nutrient uptake by the grass, seed company representatives who are working on the agronomic side of production as well as growers and livestock producers who have had years of experience with grazing management of the grass. A section on questions asked at the conference has been included in these proceedings to hopefully cover most aspects of concern that may arise. A universally recognized need by all participants and attendees at this conference was the need to continue to gather a cross section of the people involved in nutrient management on a regular basis. There is a great need, recognized by both producers and regulatory personnel, for scientifically based information upon which to build systems of management. This conference and these proceedings are just a step toward that point. To put on this conference took a lot of effort by a lot of people. Special thanks need to be given to the Sampson County Extension Staff and to Danny Ayo from Earenbrug Co. Cal 1998- CONFERENCE °.oe•=MATUA a BROMEGRASS Clinton; North Carolina:,,.

' NC State University Wt Y Although the practice of overseeding bermudagrass, particularly with Abruzzi Rye, has been practiced for many years, the rationale for trying matua was based on three fundamental aspects: 1. Economics. In the past decade the price of Abruzzi rye has more than doubled. In order to establish a sufficient stand for grazing, a minimum of three bushels of rye per acre should be seeded_ The cost of three bushels of rye is equal to, and sometimes exceeds, the cost of twenty-five pounds of matua seed. Every year the matua persists further reduces the cost of establishment of a winter/spring forage. . Z. Timing. In three out of the past five years, the seeding of rye, or other small grains over bermudagrass, has not resulted in substantial winter grazing- These three years were marked by late summers or fall temperatures which were warm enough to keep the bermudagrass in an active growing condition. When overseeded at the normal time ( October), the gro,,tizng bermudagrass reduced the stand of the winter grass or significantly impaired its growth. In 1995 and 1996, when it finally turned cold enough to send the bermudagrass into dormancy, it was also cold enough to slow down growth of the rye. In these two years, there was little winter grazing available. - Matua offers two advantages in the timing aspect_ Firstly, once established, the seed is already there and will germinate when nature dictates. Secondly, while matua and rye grow'somewhat similarly in the cold months of December and January, the matua plant stays in a vegetative state into April/May whereas rye makes a seed -head in March. 3. Ouality. The nutritive value of matua exceeds that of rye. This is important not only to the stocker operator who needs calves to gain in excess of 1.5 lbs per day, but also to the cow -calf operator who wants to maintain good body condition in the cows. The quality (and quantity) of bermudagrass decreases as it gets later in the season and so cattle go into the winter on a downhill nutritional plane. Having a forage in November and early December is a blessing to cattlemen. (D) ESTABLISHMENT - -1J.iiil ter:'. ... 1. .._ 'ta.._ .r4 .-. . - ..-...- -. .. .. _• - ..• - Matua *over bermuda or besmuda over matua ? .,- In the fall of 1987, approximately 4 acres of bermudagrass were . =- overseeded with matua. At the same time, a pure stand of matua was established on a block of approximately three acres. Both stands flourished_ In May of 1988, after grazing the pure stand of matua, common bermudagrass was seeded into the pure matua block_ Although the matua persisted, the bermudagrass never satisfactorily established itself ( only about 1/3 cover) in the pure matua block - The plot where the matua was overseeded into the bermuda resulted in excellent stands of both grasses until the wet winter/spring of 1996-97. Weeds and other grasses invaded the block that was seeded in pure matua and that block was reseeded in spring of 1990. Overseeding matua into bermudagrass : 1. Timing, Matua seedlings are not strong competitors and will not survive if the bermudagrass is still in an active growing state. Seeding by the calendar and historical data as to when frost will occur has resulted in several establishment failures. Therefore, it is recommended that the overseeding of matua into bermudagrass be done after the first frost. It is recognized that grazing days during the first fall will be limited if not completely eliminated. However, there will be a complete stand to graze later that year. t 2. Seeding. Successful stands have been established by both broadcasting and conventional drilling. The problems encountered with broadcasting are environmental, such as heavy rains, dry periods, etc., which result in a reduction in stand. The major problem associated with drilling is seeding at too deep a level. Even when seeded too deeply, the stand was good but delayed. It is not necessary to use a sod seeding drill if the bermuda has been grazed. Mowing before seeding produces a heavy thatch in spots which grain drills do not readily penetrate. Excellent stands have been established when seeding with a regular grain drill after a rain softened the ground. Seeding rate is somewhat dependant upon the grazing demands of the first year. Since matua is a prolific seed producer, the stand the second year will naturally be much thicker than the first year stand If there is not a strong need for grazing the first year, drilling 25 pounds per acre have produced good stands. Drilling rates of 35 pounds per acre have produced much thicker first year stands and more grazing. There were no visual differences in the second year stands between the two first year seeding rates. Broadcast rates have been about 35 to 40 pounds per acre. �E� L.Zn - r ;� .i'f-r. ti •f .re ..�.:v-� ,may.:. ;� yr' ix ey i .c It is imperative _that the plant be allowed to mature and make a-seedhead at some ti*during the year.JThe Matua plant is'riot a long=lived plant like fescue. Most matua plants -live, at mazimum,,two years; therefore, --unless one is willing to purchase new seed every year, the plant needs to be managed to allow seedhead production. If animmis are allowed to graze continually, the plant will stay in' a vegetative state. However, it only takes another two to three weeks beyond the normal grazing period to get the plant to the mature seedhead stage. The timing of the natural matua seedhead production coincides with the time of bermudagrass growth_ As the matua seedhead matures, more and more sunlight filters through the canopy resulting in more growth of bermudagrass.-When the mature matua is grazed there is a solid stand of bermudagrass which is also grazed. In the matua blocks that are allowed to make a-seedhead in May, some matua will come back in June but bermudagrass will completely dominate by July. Making hay out of a mature matua stand has not resulted in a sufficient amount of seed "shake -out" to re-establish a complete stand. There will be matua present in the field where the hay is fed but only about half a stand in the field where the hay was made. Clipping the tops with a bush hog has resulted in sufficient seed drop to establish a stand the following year. Ruminants will spread the matua seed via the manure so if there is a field where another grass is not wanted (commercial hay field), animals being fed mature matua hay should be denied access to that field. GRAZING Matua is not only a high input grass as far as fertilizer needs are concerned, it is also a high input grass when it comes to grazing management. The facilities and management should be such that cattle can be readilly moved from paddock to paddock whenever conditions dictate. Two management principles for matua are: 1. graze matua when the plant is 12 inches tall, unless a) seedhead production is desired b) damage to the plant from frost or fungus in which case grazing is used to remove damaged plant and initiate re -growth. 2. do not graze down to ground; leaving a 3 inch residue results in faster re -growth. Grazing down to the ground does not eliminate the grass ( as for example with millet or orchardgrass), it just takes longer to reach the re -grazing state. Matua is ready for re -grazing approximately every two weeks. At re- seeding time (May/June),-grazing is delayed for approximately another two weeks to allow the seedheads to mature. When the seeds can be dislodged from the seedhead, the cattle can be turned into the pastures. Whatever the stocking rate, (F) jf -f }`-' DB. _VAti"� .3 j'tlbl 't%few T mot. FERTILIZATION�i?a�� ;,.: _..�..�._r� -1. Star-up'fertilize' ,The application of fertilizer at seeding time is influenced by the nitrogen uptake by the bermudagras's:•Generally, there are'.-, sufficient -soil nutrients to'establish the -stand and start-up fertilization is not necessary. However, there have been instances where no mid -summer application of nitrogen was made for the bermudagrass and the matua seedlings "stalled" at about the 3 inch height. Application of 40 to 60 units of nitrogen at a month after seeding (seedlings about 6 inches in height) will keep the plant growing. This application, however, is dependant upon the season of the year and grazing plans. If the seeding was done early in the year (October), fertilization in early November will feed plant re -growth after grazing in November and December. Contrastingly, if it is mid -December before the plant is at the 6 inch height, fertilization should be delayed until February or whenever grazing will start. 2. Fertilization during grazing season. Under a controlled grazing system, matua is grazed approximately twice a month. This grazing commences about February and lasts until the plant is allowed to make a seedhead in May or June. The application of a heavy (250 lbs.N) one -dose of fertilizer in February has resulted in reduced seed production as compared to split applications of a similar amount. The 250 units of N is a figure arrived at after several years. Initially, a level of 100 units of N was applied and it was evident that the crop was being starved. In subsequent years, 150 units and then 200 units were tried and proved inadequate before the 250 unit level was tried in a heavy soil. Higher levels may result in more growth but may not be economically justifiable. The timing of this nitrogen application has been as early, as the conditions will allow which has usually been late February or early March. The second application is then made in late April or early May. The plant makes a seedhead in May or June and bermudagrass then becomes the dominant grass. In Summer, the bermudagrass may receive one or two doses of nitrogen depending on when the matua was allowed to make a seedhead. Those blocks in which the Matua was allowed to mature in May.will receive two doses whereas those blocks that matured in June receive only one dose. The amount of nitrogen applied is 150 units in the one dose block and a totoal of 200 units in the two dose block. After frost, the Matua comes up as a "green carpet" through the bermuda. This growth is almost entirely from seeds dropped in late Spring and not from surviving plants. Growth of this crop will diminish unless it is fertilized. The amount of fertilization is dependant upon the weather. Early frosts (October) allow for approximately sixty days of grazing which demands fertilization with about 100 units of N. In years where the frost is late (November), about 50 units of N are applied per acre. This carries the crop until early Spring when the cycle is repeated.

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 Dean Hunkele on 8/24/99 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 Dean Hunkele the necessary information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre determination. Please submit this information to Dean Hunkele, at 127 'Cardinal Drive Extension, Wilmington, NC 28405-3845, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you have any questions please contact Dean Hunkele at (910) 395-3900. If within 90 days you are unable to provide Dean Hunkele 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. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Telephone 919-733-5083 Fax 919-715-6048 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper Notification for Wettable Acre Determination Animal Waste Management System Page 2 Category 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 returned 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.

Di i. my , his visit, several items listed below were noted requiring imn-it- hate attention and clarification. These involve deficienciestothe certified animal waste management plan that this facility operates under as a deemed permitted facility pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0217 and North Carolina G.S. 143.215.1. 1. Wrong Crops in Fields Listed in Waste Plan 10 ;During the inspection it was obsenjed that you ware not follow ing your certified animal waste utilization plan. Field 13 is listed as coastal bermuda and Fields 8,9,9A are listed as a com/wheat/soybean rotation in your waste plan. Currently, millet is planted in these fields. This plan was constructed for your facility to adequately address the amount of animal waste produced by utilizing it on planted/managed cover crops on specific fields. This plan must always be followed without exception. If you would like to change your cropping system, then a technical specialist prior to making any cropping changes must amend your waste utilization plan. Contact a technical specialist to revise your waste plan for the millet at least temporarily in the form of a letter. Also as I interpret your waste plan, it does not allow for grazing except during winter months on the Matua and overseeds. This must be clarified in your waste plan with grazing months clearly listed for each field in the narrative or cattle must be removed during the summer months. It appears from your aerial field map that fields have been combined and new areas cleared, thus you may be getting shorted on the amount of acreage you actually have. 127 North Cardinal Dr., Wilmington, North Carolina 28405 Telephone 9103953900 FAX 910350-2004 An Equal opportunity Affinnative Action Employer 50% recycled110% post-consurner paper iR 1 Mrs. Evelyn Basden June 30, 2000 Page 2 I strongly suggest having a technical specialist obtain an updated aerial to check the acreage or do a ground survey of the fields in question. This will be key in determining how much grazing will be allowed on the farm. Cover Crop Needs Improvement During the inspection it was observed that your cover crops need improvement. Specifically, the bermuda in Field 12 needs substantial improvement and may need to be re -sprigged next February -March. I would suggest looking into Tiffton 44 hybrid coastal bermuda. Also, you have chosen to utilize Matua Grass in one of your fields and as a overseed on the bermuda beginning this winter. Matua requires a higher level of management than bermuda and fescue to maintain it as a cover crop. It requires waste application and/or nitrogen at critical times of the year and must be allowed to "seed out" at least once_ per year. For Matua exclusive fields, it is best to allow it to come to seed in the late spring prior to it becoming dormant during June -August; therefore, grazing should cease around mid -April. This will allow seed heads to dry out the best. Seed can be dispersed by topping it with a hay cutter or grazing again in the fall. Bermuda fields overseeded with Matua will need to be allowed to go to seed immediately after it is planted before grazing is utilized unless you plan on overseeding every year. Contact Kraig Westerbeek with Murphy or Cooperative Extension for specific management recommendations to get the most out your Matua. Brian did attend a training seminar about Matua on June 2r at Richard Bryan's farm in Onslow county. For all crops, especially grassed pastures or hay fields, soil pH must be maintained for the proper health of the crop and uptake of nutrients from application. lime must be applied according to the rate indicated on your annual soil analysis when the amount is equal to or greater than 1.0 ton/acre. In no instance, should more than 2.0 tons/acre be applied during any year. It takes approximately 4-6 months for lime to work throughout the root zone; thus lime should be applied at the appropriate time to benefit the crop for the next growing season. Grassed fields must be harvested to avoid disease, control weed growth, and remove applied nutrients. Bermuda fields should be cut for hay at a height of 16-20 inches and soil pH maintained at 6-6.5. Fescue fields should be cut for hay in April and again in October/November. Pastures may need to be cut for hay periodically if grazing herd cannot keep up with growth or mowed per;odicallyr crr gcnfraI of ;weds. -Herbicide, ;r;ay nesal -to ue-nnPliad i'L;i,-�dIcaIly-for coalrol of broddIeaf weeds.or volunteer grasses. Grassed fields may need to be re -sprigged or re -seeded periudically iii areas to maintain an adequate cover. Record Keeping During the inspection it was observed the following problems with record keeping at your facility: 1) Acreage listed on your IRR-2 from map, not plan 2) More frequent waste analysis needed 3) Unclear if each field has a soil sample and no 1999 sample (unless current report is from samples taken too late last year). Irrigation Records -- Daily spraying. activities should be recorded on IRR-1 forms and must be used when .using computer generated IRR-2 forms. Nitrogen balances must be maintained on separate forms (IRR-2) for each crop cycle based on the certified waste utilization plan. Records can be kept by field if spray zone or pull irrigated is indicated in margins or on IRR-1 forms. Ideally records should be kept by spray pull or zone with acreage shown on IRR-2 forms as that covered by the pull or zone. Facilities with irrigation designs or layouts should follow them using the appropriate acreage assigned to each routine. Acreage claimed for a spray field on the IRR-2 cannot exceed that listed in the waste plan. Nitrogen balances must a -:. Mrs. Evelyn Basden June 30, 2000 Page 3 be updated at least monthly, but more frequently for low PAN crops or when balances are approaching PAN limits to avoid over -application. Waste Analyses -- A dated waste analysis report'or each lagoon that irrigation occurs from is required within 60 days of any irrigation event. For example, waste report is dated Marchlst, then applications can be made until May 1st or backwards to January 1st. Waste can be applied priorto having an updated report such as spraying on February 1st and using the PAN listed on a report on March 1st of a sample taken February 20. However, the grower is cautioned against applying too often without knowing the nitrogen content of the lagoon on low PAN crops (like overseeds) or when nitrogen balance (PAN) is nearly used up for a crop to avoid over -application. It is highly recommended that samples be taken every 90 days (3 months) beginning in January to always have a valid sample report. This also allows fora 30-day period of report overlap where the grower can use the lowest PAN value of the two reports on the IRR-2 nitrogen balance records. Soil Samples — A dated soil sample report for each spray field in the waste utilization plan is required once per calendar year (annually). Fields greater than 10 acres should be broken up into smaller fields for sampling purposesto obtain the most useful information. It is highly recommended that samples for pastures and hay fields be taken during the summer to obtain a report in a timely manner. Grower is cautioned against waiting past November 1st because report may not be dated and returned by the end of the year. It is recommended that a separate soil sample be taken from areas where cover crops are struggling to be maintained; indicate this is from a problem area on the paperwork for a more thorough soil analysis to be completed to find possible source of a problem. These samples are at no cost to the grower other than shipping. As ! indicated during the inspection, this facility was flagged last year for a mandatory wettea acres determination to show that you can effectively ii ii.gate all of the acreage included in your certified animal waste management plan. At some point, you will receive a letter from Raleigh requiring this to be done within B months including modification of the current irrigation system, addition of more land or equipment, etc. An updated waste plan based on this new irrigation design or layout will still have to generate a nitrogen deficit for the farm. I urge you to begin evaluating your situation to know where you stand and what will have to be done to comply.

Cost share money is available for some of the things you may have to do, thus it may be prudent to begin the process. To correct these deficiencies, please submit a Plan of Action to the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality that describes the actions to be taken to comply with your certified animal waste management plan. The Plan of Action should include the following: 1- A list of actions to be taken in correcting each noted deficiency. A list of any and all modifications needed to ensure there are no future deficienciesinclude a timetable for completion of those modifications. Mrs. Evelyn Basden June 30, 2000 Page 4 The proposed written Plan of Action must be received by this office within fifteen (15) working days of the receipt of this notice.

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 e_hould 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.

Narrative of operation: Acres shown are 'wetted' acres. All land may be razed. Page 4 6� REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct, application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. There must be:documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement:for,use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not oikv adequate land to property 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). 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. 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. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. Page 5 i", 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 n6i ients shall not be,applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potetial'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 'fromany 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 '$pplied 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 e_ 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:ar1eas 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 pr66nt 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. r 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.

Do not apply waste on saturated -soils, when it is raining, or' when the surface is,frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. Page: 1 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which -could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall.be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis -content and crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization'•plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Waste application may begin up to thirty(30) days prior to planting or. green -up of forages, and extend past optimum dates shown if plant growth, pumping conditions, and PAN loading rates permit. In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseede'd 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.. • f Fes. 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 1358.64 pounds of plant available_ nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every 5 years,.you will have approximately 6793.2 pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you -apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 22.644 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 54.3456 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application methods. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION t 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: 8 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding. at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strip) 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field. 6.. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the.application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil - infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to - surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from'. the site during application. _ No ponding should occur in order.. to control odor or flies. B. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during' - .rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. Page. 13 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: 14 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.

Currently two types of "ryegmV—,. are being used for: wintex`:otrerseeding in fields usedf Eger. ,.. animal" -waste management. Cereal rye is a winter annual' Siriallgrain that looks siniflar_ to. wheat, barley and oats_ Annual ryegra,�_is a winter annual ~grass that looks much. like. tall_ fescue_ Both of these grasses, when' growing during. the winter on bermuda sod, can -have significant impact on subsequent Bermuda yields. - In effect, the total yields from an acre growing the combination of bermuda with these winter annuals will usually yield between 1-2 tons more per acre than bermuda growing alone for the year. Therefore, the .total am unt 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: DeparEment c9 Crop 5rioncc Culepe of Agricutturs and t.tfn Scloncrx; CLLmpus Hut :o2C Ral&l1h• NC 77595 78,,0 919 515.26:7 91 y.515 79:4 (i t3X) Cereal Rye T-,c cerea.] -Ye should I piartted by October i 5 to p.-ovtje lhtc best o ppo: LU,).t l' :c: '70' wiser Sr-}wih.

The plant nutrients in:/the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer �requ�ired for the crops in the fields where the waste ispppto be a Tied. .�\ This waste utilization plan uses nit ogenas the limiting nutrient. i�c �� waste should be analyzed before each applicatiorcycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that dYi� 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. o 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 Wx8TE UTILIZATION PLAN S. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are -not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall.be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.) 3672 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hags/year = 6976.8 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 3672 hogs x 4.6 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 16891.2 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 1358.64 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 6793.2 pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 22.644 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 54.3456 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application methods. APPLICATION OF 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: 8 ANIMAL`.'ASTE UTILIZATION PLAN amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

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: 13 WAL's UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to' take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 --.Filter Strips). 12.'Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharges directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 15. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. Page: 14 WAS' .., 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.

'These suggestions are a result of discussions within the NC State University Forage Production Workgroup, a group comprisLd of NC Stare faculty and NRCS agency personnel with expertise w itb the crops. There are limited docurnentcd research responses of some of thr:se practices on the many soils and environments where these crops are currently being grown. The Forage Production Workgroup has taken the available data and used the combined experiences and realistic estimates of key people to come up with suggestions that will allow farmers to incorporate these crops and practices into waste management plans. As data become available to substantiate or refute these suggestions, the Forage Production Workgroup will make appropriate changes. Bermuda Overseeded With Cereal Rye and Annual Ryegrass Currently two types of `ryegrass" are being used for winter overseeding in fields used for animal waste management. Cereal Ey is a winter annual smallgrain that looks similar to wheat, barley and oats. Annwd Uggrask.is a winter annual grass that looks much like tali fescue_ Both of these grasses, when growing during the winter on bermuda sod, can have significant impact on subsequent bermuda yields. In effect, the total yields from an acre growing the combination ofbermuda 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 eye 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. f.Gln alic!a ... _.n1 +r,1q p IAih (ply,! j,t.a.�G, _•3 L :[+tllflUon: u,�Jhlr vl of f r.

If rye g.Lcd on :hire and does not signif-icantiV shade the bermuda, PAN rates for the :,u'squent berm.-iuda cop are based. on realistic yields of bermuda. A harvest is required prior to heading or April 7, which ever comes first. This i; rrecessary to rninimize the potential for sh`jing bermuda and reducing its yields. The l'.4:N rate for gazed systems with bermuda ovtrseeded with cereal rve must be reduced in accordance with ,MRCS Technical S.a.^dard #590 Annual Ryegrass Annual ryegrass should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter growth. The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling ryegrass into short- (less than 3 inches tall) bermudagrass sod. If drilling is not possible. the seeds may be broadcast on short bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 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 lbslacre of (PAN) may be applied between September 15 and October 30- An additional 50 lbslacre of PAN may be applied in February -March- If additional PAN is applied to the ryegrass in April -May, the PAN rate for the bermuda must be reduced by a corresponding atngunt. This is necessary because ryegrass growth during April -May will me reduce bermuda yields and shorten the tibermuda 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 overseeded .with annual ryegrass must be reduced in accordance with NRCS Technical Standard #590- 1:10 mid u '1 ill hUr%h rerylsm Colley- :7� Agrr_'L'r[- annlit.

It is best to a130w the growth durui'_' the seedling year to accL-nulate for most der all season-. if it is to be harvested, it should be done after lull seed -head for -nation on a majority of the plants. Therefore, PAN for the seedling year should tx_, rnDdified accordingly. Overseeding gamagrass with winter annuals is not currently adt'ised beca_;e the barvesting or grazina management of the winter annual crops during i=ebruarv-_ffii ,v�: ujld b, detrimental to the survival of gamagrass. Garnagrass should not normally be harvested or crazed below 6-8 inches stubble. Application rates are to be based on the realistic N rates that address the N ne -ds 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 mauler. The PAN rate for grazed sys[erns roust be reduced in accordance with NRCS Technical Standard 4590. The application window for gatnagrass 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..Garnagrass is dormant from frost to March. The last application of PAN in the summer should be prior to August 31 _ Rescuegrass (i.e. _ fatua) Rescuegrass is a cool season grass and makes most of its growth from Marr i-7une and September -November. It should receive nest 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 furdier 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. Sl��-[f::a!?:d.i .�.

Page 1 P.O. Box 759 Rose Hill, NC 28458 Farm Operator: Vance Baysden Date: 07/27/93 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN ----------------------- This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) with minimum odor control. The time required for the planned fluid level to be reached - (permanent + temporary storage) may vary due to soil conditions, flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. The designed 6 months temporary storage is an estimated volume based on: 1) waste from animals 2) excess rainfall after evaporation and 3) the largest 24 hour (one day) rainfall that occurs on the average of once every 25 years. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year. This estimate is based on 7 inches of excess rainfall which is equal to or exceeds the highest 6 months excess in a year. The average annual excess rainfall is approximately 8 inches. Therefore, an average of 8 inches of excess rainfall will need to be pumped each year. The 25 year rainfall will not be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage volume must always be available. A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from the building(s). If the outlet pipe is not installed on the elevation to begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed on this elevation to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established to stop pumping to maintain the minimum treatment depth'of 6 feet. Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without runoff or leaching. Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set, center pivot guns and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops. MURPHY FARMS, INC. Page 2 P.Q. Box 759 Rose Hill, NC 28458 Farm Operator: Vance Baysden OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN (continued) ----------------------- The following items are to be carried out: 1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be precharged to 1/2 of its capacity to prevent excessive odors during start—up. Precharging _ reduces the concentration of the initial waste entering the lagoon, thereby reducing odors. Solids should be covered with effluent at all times. When precharging is complete, flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not be used for flushing after initial filling. 2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment) before land application. 3. Begin pump —out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches elevation 50.3 feet as marked by the permanent marker. Stop pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches elevation 48.3 feet or before the fluid depth is less than 6.7 feet deep (this prevents the loss of favorable bacteria). The designed temporary storage volume less the 25 year — 24 hour storm volume is 179,686 cubic feet or 1,344,048 gallons. As stated before, this volume will vary considerably from year to year. 4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.3 inches per hour. 5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain a vigorous stand. 6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and establish in vegetation. 7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable outlets. 8. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around waste utilization fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will not be applied in open ditches. Do not pump within 200 feet of a residence or within 100 feet of a well. 9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States. The Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources, Division of Environmental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law. MURPHY FARMS, INC. P.O. Box 759 Rose Hill, NC 28458 Farm Operator Date: Vance Baysden 07/27/93 Page 1 SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS ------------------------------------------ SECTION 1: CLEARING All trees and brush shall be removed from the construction area before any excavation or fill is started. Stumps will be removed within the area of the foundation of the embankment, all fill areas and all excavated areas. All All stumps and roots exceeding one (1) inch in diameter shall be removed to a minimum depth of one (1) foot below final grade. Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The foundation area shall be loosened thoroughly before placement of the embankment material. The lagoon site (and pad site if needed) is to be stripped of topsoil (minimum of 3") and stockpiled for use on dike and pad slopes (finished depth of 2-3"). SECTION 2: CUT—OFF TRENCH A cut --off trench (when specified) shall be installed as shown on the plans. SECTION 3: CONSTRUCTION Construction of excavated and earthfill areas shall be performed to the neat lines and grades as planned. Deviations from this will require prior approval of the SCS. Earthfill shall be placed in a maximum of 6" lifts,and shall not be placed in standing water. Compaction shall be performed by the construction equipment or by a sheeps—foot roller during placement. The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed using the more impervious materials. Construction of fill heights shall include ten (10) percent overage for settlement. MURPHY FARMS, INC. P.O. Box 759 Rose Hill, NC 28458 Farm Operator: Date: Vance Baysden 07/27/93 SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION (Continued) ----------------------------- To protect against seepage, when areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will need to be excavated to a minimum of one (1) foot below grade and backfilled and compacted with a SCS approved material Oe — CL, SC, CH). Refer to the soil -investigation information in the plans for special considerations. Precautions should be taken during construction to prevent excessive erosion and sedimentation. SECTION 4: VEGETATION All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construction according to seeding specifications sheet.

Enclosed is your copy of a wetland determination for tractl.t W-Lon which you indicated your intent to clear some land. The attached map has been delinneated to show the area(s) in question. Each area in to be cleared has been identified with a symbol to denote its classification. Below is an explanation of the various symbols that may pertain to your map. _ W - Wetland - Area is a wetland and should not be cleared if you wish to remain eligible for USDA programs. W - Wetland that can be Farmed - Area was cleared and drained prior to 12/23/85 and area can be farmed as long as no additional drainage is installed. Existing drainage, as shown on map, can be maintained. x NWI- Non wetland - Area is non wetland and can be cleared and planted without violating Farm Bill. 14W2- Non wetland - Area has hydric soils but is non wetland due to hydrology modification prior to 12/23/85. May need to check with the US Army Corp of Engineers or the NC DEM to determine if additional permits are/were necessary prior to clearing. CW - Converted Wetland - Area was cleared after 12/23/85. Can be used for grass production but cannot be used for annual crop production without losing eligibility for USDA programs. CW - Converted Wetland after 11/28/90 - Area was cleared after 11/28/90 and is a converted wetland. Clearing constitutes a violation of the 1990 Farm Bill. In order to regain eligibility for USDA programs, area must be restored. Consult with the SCS about an approved restoration plan before beginning any restoration. I have tried to make this determination as fairly as possible. However if you believe this determination is incorrect, you have the right to appeal. To appeal send me a brief letter explaining why you believe this determination is incorrect. Send the letter to the address on the letterhead. This letter should be received within 15 days of your receipt of this letter. Sincerely, Nffchael E.

The attached map has been delineated to show the area(s) in question. Each area in to be cleared has been identified with a symbol to denote its - classification. Below is an explanation of the various symbols that may pertain to your map. XW - Wetland - Area is a wetland and should not be cleared if you wish to remain eligible -for USDA programs. W - Wetland that can be Farmed - Area was cleared and drained prior to 12/23/85 and area can be farmed as long as no additional drainage is installed. Existing drainage, as shown on map, can be maintained. NWI- Non wetland - Area is non wetland and can be cleared and planted without violating Farm Bill. NW2- Non wetland - Area has hydric soils but is non wetland due to hydrology modification prior to 12/23/85. May need to check with the US Army Corp of Engineers or the RC DEM to determine if additional permits are/were necessary prior to clearing. CW - Converted Wetland - Area was cleared after 12/23/85. Can be used for grass production but cannot be used for annual crop production without Iosing eligibility for USDA programs. CW - Converted Wetland after 11/28/90 - Area was cleared after 11/28/90 and is a converted wetland. Clearing constitutes a violation of the 1990 Farm Bill. In order to regain eligibility for USDA programs, area must be restored. Consult with the SCS about an approved restoration plan before beginning any restoration. I have tried to make this determination as fairly as possible. However if you believe this determination is incorrect, you have the right to appeal. To appeal send me a brief letter explaining why you believe this determination is incorrect. Send the letter to the address on the letterhead.

(Written approval of the State Veterinarian must be attached) OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN Proper lagoon liquid management should be a year-round priority. It is especially important to manage Ievels so that you do not. have problerns during extended rainy and wetpadods. Mmdmum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the rec=zving a: is donnant (such as winte-d me for b<rrnudagrass) or when there are extended rainy spells such as- the thund--storrn se -son in the summertime- This means that at the rust signs of plant growth in the later winter/early spring; irrigation accm-ding to a. faazm waste management plan should be done whenever the land is dry enough to receive lagoon liquid. This will mak-- storage space available in the lagoon for fut = wet periods_ In the late summer/early fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the loin mazes (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage_ Every effort should be- made: to mabuaih the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as long as the weather and waste utffisarion pinta will allow it_ Waitinc until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage cavaciry before starting to irrigate does not leave room for snoring excess water during extended wet periods. _ Ovei#Iow from the lagoon for any =son except 2 25-year, 2 -hour storm is a violation or - state law and subj-:t to penalty action. The rourine maintenance of a Iaaoon involves the following: -Ma snterancr of a veze=zive cover for the da-m. Fescue or comrnon be-ttz:zda-�-ass. are the most common vegetative covers. The ve,e:. on should be fardBzed each year, if -needed, to maintain a vigorous smnd_ The amount of ferdii= applied should be based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not: trlactical to obtain a. soils test each yea. , the lagoon errbankme nt and surrounding areas should be fertilized with 800 pounds ram- acre oi' 10-10-10, or equivalent 3rush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may be done by mowing, swing, gra,z�ing, chopping, or a combination of these pracdccs. Tnzs should be done at least once a year and possibly twice in years that weather conditions are favorable for heavy vegetative growth. NOTE_ If vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to eater - the lagoon w- Such chemicals could harm the bact,ia in the boon that are treating the waste. Maintenance inspe;,tions or the ends-- lagoon should be made during the initial filling. of. the lagoon and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm evenfs. Items to be checked should include, as a minimum, the following+ Waste Inlet Pines, Re-cvciing Pipes, and Overrlow Pipes —look for_ 1_ separation of joints 2-- c�ks or breaks 3. accumulation of salts or-rnin—l.s 4, overall condition of pipes Lagoon surface ---look for. 1_ undesirable vegetative growth 2. floating or lodged debris Embankment —look for. 1. settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes 2. side slope stability —slumps or bulges I wet or damp areas on the back slope 4- erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result of wave action 5. rodent damage Larger Iaggoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong winds. Then: waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon dam. A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave actioap. If .. wave action causes serious damage to alagoon sidewall, baffles isr the.lagoozr may be used to reduces 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 -fax if there is a threat of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should roe reviewed by the technical exx_ ert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious undertaking with notendally serious consequences and should not be conducted unless recommended by an appropriate technical expert. Transfer Purnos--eaeck for proper ope—ration of: 1. recycling pumps 2. irig—m,on pumps Check for ?ems, loose finings, and ovemil pump overation. An unusually loud or pending noise, Ora la-ge amount of vibration, may indirarb that the pump is in need or re -pair or replacement_ NOTE_ Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that you - are not co=leeiy "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform your -pumping system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This will allow some safety time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly frill lagoon is not.the time to think about switching, repairing , or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your -lagoon is f4 your neig ooe 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 parldng lot runoft) away from your lagoon and other waste treatment or storage structures_ The only water that should be coning 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: l . adequate. vegetation 2. diversion capacity 3. ridge bean height Identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system during or immediately fallowing 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 reword the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This wilt give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount (you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may have an inflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the lagoon from the surrounding land. La„oon- Operation Startup; 1. Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil surfaces to avoid erosion. 2. Fill new Iagoon design treatment volume at least half full of ware: before waste loading berms, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes. 3. Drainniues into the lagoon should have a flexible nine extender on the end - or" the pipe to discharge near the bottom of the Lagoon during initial riding or another means of slowing the inconir_g water to avoid erosion of the lining. 4. When possible, bee *n loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather). 5. It is recommender tha: a new lagoon be se,, ed with sludge from a healthy working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 pent of the full.lagoon liquid volume. This seeding should oc :our at lit two weeks prior to the addition of wastewater. 6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid vH_ If the pH falls below 7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of 1 pound per 1000 cubic fee.► of lagoon liquid volume until the pH ri.= above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid pH is between 7.5 and 8.0. 7. A dark color, Iack 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 f=uently and reoulariv 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, Maaag�eat: Practice water conservation —minimize building water usage and spillage from leaking waterers,- broken pipes and washdown through proper maintenance and water conservation. Minimize few wastage and spillage by I=ping 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 recuirements and soil moisture so that temporary storage will be maximized for the summer thunderstorm sea on. Similarly, irrigate in the late summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon storage for the winter. The lagoon liquid level should never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest uoint or the dim or embankment. Do not pump the lagoon liquid level lower that the permanent storage level unless you ar-- re moving sludge. Locate float pumo intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the lia_uid surface and as far awav from the drainDiDe inlets as vossible. Prevent additions of bedding materials, Iong-sternmed forage or -vegetation, molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign rna=riais into the lagoon_ Frequently remove solids from catch basins at end of connnemenc 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 einbanlsmeat Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage rapacity 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 imolernendn; a closure plan to eliminate the possibility or a pollutant discharge. Sludge Removal: Rate of Iagoon 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 rninirniz ng feed wastage and spillage. Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long re.-m will: have more nutrients, have more odor, and require more land to properly use the nutrients. Removal te: anicues: Hire a custom applicator. Na the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper -agitator impeller pump through Iarge-bore sprznbler irrigation system onto nearby cropland; and soil incorporate. Dewater the upper parrL'of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby croDiand or forageland; mix remaining sludge; Dump into liouid sludge apputar; haul and spread onto cropland or foragPeland; and sou incorporate. Dewater the ut)= part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropiand or lorageiand; dreg ge sludge from Iagoon with dza , e or sludge b4:_2; bit an area beside lagoon to receive the sludge so that lictuds can dry back into lagoon; allow sludge to dewate., haul and sor..ad with manure sor=d-- onto cropiand or forage.;and; and soil incorporzw. Regardless of the method, you must have the siudge material analyzed for waste constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge .= will contain dif e nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludze to fields %rill -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 gem j 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 tha= the lagoon liner rennam intact. If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can be removed without liner injury. If the liner is damages it must be repaired as soon as possible. Sludge removed from the Iagoon 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 drat if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil -test phomhores, it should be anpiied 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 a=licarion of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site. Extra precaudon should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which could increase the concern of neighbors. y Passible Causes of Lagoon Failure Lagoon failures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure. Types of failures include Ieaiege through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of the data. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner bas the responsibility for - ensuring strucru= safety. Items wbich may lead to lagoon failures include: Modification of the lagoon structure —an example is the placement of a pipe in the dam without groper design and construction. (Consult. an expert m lagoon design before pig any pipes in darns-) Lagoon liquid Ievels---high levels.are a safety ask. Failure to inspect and maintain the dam - Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon. Liner integrity —protect from inler pipe scouring, damage during sludge removal, or rupture from Iowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater table. NOTE: If lagoon water is allowed to overtop the Liam, the moving water will soon cause gullies to form in the clam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly. cause a Iarge discharge of wastewir:.r and possible dam failure. dop System Calibration Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operation conditions with relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application rates change over time as equipment gets older and components wear. In particular, pump wear tends to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use, nozzle wear results in an increase in the nozzle opening which will increase the discharge rate while decreasing the wetted diameter. You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the design will alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently the application uniformity. For example, operating the, system with excessive -pressure results in smaller droplets, greater potential fnr drift-, and accelerates wear ofthe- sprinkler nozzle. Clogging of nozzles can result in pressure increase. Plugged intakes or crystallization or 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 razes and uniformity. Calibration at least once every three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at several locations in the application area. Any number of containers can be used to collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because. they already have a graduated scale from which to read the application amount without having to perform additional calculations However, pans, plastic buckets, jars, or anything with a uniform opening and cross-section can be used. provided the liquid collected can be easily transferred to a scaled container for measuring. For stationary sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly throughocr 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 carr. You should compute the average application rate for all nonuniformity of the- application. On a windless- day, variation between containers - of more than 30 percent is cause for concern. You should contact your irrigation dealer or technical specialist for assistance. -Reprinted for Cerrh cation Training for Operations of Anima/ Waste Management Systems Manua!

Dear Ms. Basden: On April 21, 1998, 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 the lagoon had insufficient freeboard. It was also observed that bermuda grass was planted in a field designated for corn by the Waste Utilization Plan (WUP). On August 14, 1997, a Notice of Deficiency was issued based on an August 11, 1997 inspection by the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality. At that time, it was observed that there was erosion on the inner and outer dike walls of the lagoon, and that bermuda grass was planted in a field designated for corn by the i7VUP. Insufficient freeboard and not following your WUP are violations of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP), 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 appropriate crops must be planted in the spray fields or your WUP must be revised to include the present crop. In addition, the correct Plant Available Nitrogen loading rate, as stated by the WUP, should be used when recording and calculating the waste applications. Waste application records should be kept in a manner such that nitrogen loading at an agronomic rates can be verified. A small grain overseed and grazing of the Bermuda grass should be added to the WUP. 127 North Cardinal Dr., Wilmington, North Carolina 28405 Telephone 910-395-3900 FAX 910-350-2004 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper Ms. Evelyn Basden April 24, 1998 Page 2. Erosion areas on the inner dike wall of the lagoon should be filled with a suitable clay material, compacted and re -seeded 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. To remain a deemed permitted facility, you must notify this office in writing within seven (7) 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.

It was observed that some erosion of the clay liner has occurred on the lagoon. Large cuts were observed in various sections of the inner and outer dike walls of the 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, erosion in a storm water diversion adjacent to the lagoon should be repaired, and all crops for waste application should be planted in the appropriate fields as designated by the waste utilization plan. 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.

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.

Preston Howard, Jr., P.E., Director November 17, 1993 Vance Basden Rt 3, Box 120 - Beulaville NC 28518 Dear Mr. Basden: .. I KTA IDEHNR 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 (919) 733-5083. c Sincerely, /�- Steve Tedder; Chief Water Quality Section P.O. Box 29535, Rdeigh.

Irrigation by using renter- pivot, gun, or- trav I er is the preferred and most eff i c i erit method to dispose of the effluent from the lagoon. Care should be taken when applying waste to prevent damage to the crops. and to prevent runoff from the fields. The fo i l ow i n'g items are to be carried out: 1. Deg i n pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches invert of the outlet pipes or at a pre -determined elevation. 2. Stop pump -out before tl-tc: € ag,,,_ n depth is less than 6 feet deep or at a pre -determined depth. (This prevents the loss of favorab i e bacteria) 3.
