This waste utilization pIE-6 uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application:4d6. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. 1011, Several factors are impoM4it 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 appfy'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 -arse 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 cohditicris may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. 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, therwaste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior.tbot31 lft a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will oorsserve nutrients and reduce odorproblems. 1 of 8 OP-1. 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 aria type of 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.

The farm should produce adequate plant available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above. The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements. In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen. In interplanted fields ( i.e. small grain, etc, Interseeded in bermuda), 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 reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e. April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definately 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 the 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 cut to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results.

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 2016 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year will accumulate in the lagoon sludge based on the rates of accumulation listed above. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 10080 pounds of plant available nitrogen to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermude grass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 33 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at a rate of 126 pounds per acre, you will need 80.64 acres of land. Please note that these are only estimates of the PAN produced and the land required to utilize that PAN. Actual values may only be determined by sampling the sludge for plant available nitrogen content prior to application Actual utilization rates will vary with soil type, crop, and realistic yield expectations for the specific application fields designated for sludge application at time of removal. 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 the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. 'This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations, the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions. Your facility is designed for >180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste 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 the tables. 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 prior to applying the waste. 5 of 8 Application Rate Guide `-� I - The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

R.Y.E. values, soil type and field acres have remained the same. The acres are based upon wettable acre computations. The IRR1 and IRRZ will be modified to agree with the field pulls and acres. 7 of 8 NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN CERTIFICATION Name of Farm: Bland Farm Owner: Bobby and Keith Bland Manager: Owner/Manager Agreement: Itwe understand and will follow and implement the specifications and the operation and maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste nutrient management plan for the farm named above. Itwe know that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste treatment and/or storage system, or construction of new facilities, will require a new nutrient management plan and a new certification to be submitted to DWQ before the new animals are stocked. Itwe understand that I must own or have access to equipment, primarily irrigation equipment, to land apply the animal waste described in this nutrient management plan. This equipment must be available at the appropriate pumping time such that no discharge occurs from the lagoon in the event of a 25 year 24 hour storm. I also certify that the waste will be applied on the land according to this plan at the appropriate times and at rates which produce no runoff. This plan will be filed on site at the farm office and at the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation District and will be available for review by NCDWQ upon request.

Hobson. Muruhv-Brown. LLC. Telephone: (910) 293-3434 7-Z?`6L Date a 7- 8of8 NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Z There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use .of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, recieving crop type, or available land. 3 Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients. 4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (See USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 5 Odors can be reduced. by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land application field. 6 When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season; prone to flooding (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance). 7 Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor and flies. 8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 1 of 3 NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 9 Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10 Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11 Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995, shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters, 12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14 Waste shall be applied ,in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 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, cropland provided the fields have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16 Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 2 of 3 NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 18 If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19 Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20 Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption, it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21 Highly visible markers shall. be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22 Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for a minimum of five years. 23 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. 3of3 CAWMP WETTABLE ACRE COMPUTATIONAL WORKSHEET 1.

Box 856 Warsaw, NC 28398 During this year I have worked with Bobby and Keith to add fill material to the existing dam. The top of dam was prepared and suitable material was placed and compacted on the structure. The disturbed area was re-established in common bermuda grass. The additional storage was 13 inches. In order not to disturb the liner, the existing indicator was modified to show the additional storage and new compliance and stop pumping levels. Based upon the design, the temporary storage depth was 24 inches for a total depth of 43 inches to stop pump. Raising the dam by 13 inches resulted in a total depth of 56 inches to stop pump. I have enclosed a Freeboard Log Sheet with a sketch of the indicator as installed today. Give me a call if you have questions. Sincerely, Howard L.

E., Director Division of Water Quality May 1, 2003 Subject: Certificate of Coverage No. AWS310370 Bobby Bland Hog Farm Swine Waste Collection, Treatment, Storage and Application System Duplin County On April 28, 2003, the North Carolina General Assembly ratified Senate Bill 733 which directs the Division of Water Quality (Division) to extend the expiration date of the Swine Waste Operation General Permit AWG100000. Therefore, the General Permit has been re -issued by the Division to extend the expiration date to October 1, 2004. During the period of this extension the Division will be working with all interested parties on the development of a new version of the Non -Discharge General Permit. In accordance with your application received on March 31, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Robert Bland, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000. The issuance of this COC supercedes and,.terminates your previous .COC Number AWS310370 which expired on April 30, 2003. This approval shall consist of the. operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management of animal waste from the Bobby Bland Hog Farm, located in Duplin County, with an animal capacity of no greater than an annual average of 2400 Farrow to Wean swine and the application to land as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until October 1, 2004. Pursuant to this COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals. If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, careful evaluation of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed. The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property.

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. 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. 1 of 8 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. 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.

The farm should produce adequate plant available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above. The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements. In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen. In interplanted fields ( i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermuda), 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 reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e. April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definately 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 the 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 cut to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results.

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. 4of8 SLUDGE APPLICATION: The following table describes the annual nitrogen accumulation rate per animal in the lagoon sludge Farm Specifications PAN/ rlanimal Farm Totall r 2400 Farrow to Wean 0.84 2016 Farrow to Feeder 1 Farrow to Finish 4.1 Wean to Feeder 0.072 Feeder to Finish 0.36 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 2016 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year will accumulate in the lagoon sludge based on the rates of accumulation listed above. If you remove the sludge every5 years, you will have approximately 10080 pounds of plant available nitrogen to utilize_ Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermuda grass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 33 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 80.64 acres of land. Please note that these are only estimates of the PAN produced and the land required to utilize that PAN. Actual values may only be determined by sampling the sludge for plant available nitrogen content prior to application Actual utilization rates will vary with soil type, crop, and realistic yield expectations for the specific application fields designated for sludge application at time of removal. 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 the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. 'This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations, the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions. Your facility is designed for >180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste 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 the tables. 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 prior to applying the waste. 5 of 8 Bobby and Keith Bland Farm 767 Stocking Head• Road Rose Hill, NC 28458 PREPARED BY:Murphy-Brown LLC DATE:07122l02 TIME:04:26:54 PM PAGEI Additional Comments: This plan has been amended to allow for some slight changes in pulls and to make the plan easier to understand and follow. R.Y.E. values, soil type and field acres have remained the same. The acres are based upon wettable acre computations.

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 the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, recieving crop type, or available land. 3 Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients. 4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (See USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 5 Odors can be reduced, by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land application field. 6 When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season: prone to flooding (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance). 7 Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor and flies. 8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 1 of 3 NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 9 Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10 Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11 Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of.the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995, shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters, 12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14 Waste shall be applied,in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 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 cropland provided the fields have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16 Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 2 of 3 NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 18 If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19 Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20 Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption, it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21 Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22 Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for a minimum of five years. 23 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. 3 of 3 CAWMP WETTABLE ACRE COMPUTATIONAL WORKSHEET 1.

In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers. Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. ERR I, IRR2, DRY I, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR I, SLUR2, SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an appropriate enforcement action. Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting requirement. If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the DWQ staff at (919) 733-5083 ext. 571. Sincerely Kerr T.

AWC -- August 1, 1997 6 At" System Calibration Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operation conditions with relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application rates change over time as equipment gets older and components wear. In particular, pump wear tends to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use, nozzle wear results in an increase in the nozzle opening which will increase the discharge rate while decreasing the wetted diameter. You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the design will alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently the application uniformity.- For example, operating the system with excessive pressure results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the sprinkler nozzle. Clogging of nozzles can result in pressure increase. Plugged intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure. Operating below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application uniformity. For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to ensure proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at several locations in the application area. Any number of containers can be used to collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because they already have a graduated. scale from which to read the application amount without having to perform additional calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets, jars, or anything with a uniform opening and cross-section can be used provided the liquid collected can be easily transferred to a scaled container for measuring. For stationary- sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly throughout the application area at several distances from sprinklers. For traveling' guns, spriak-Iers should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direction of pull. Set out collection containers 25 feet apart along the transect on both sides of the gun cart. You should compute the average application rate for all nonuniformity of the application. On a windless day, variation between containers of more than 30 percent is cause for concern.. You should contact your irrigation dealer or technical specialist for assistance.

It is especially important to manage levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and wet periods. Maximum storage capacity should be available in the Iagoon for periods when the receiving crop is dormant (such as wintertime for bermudagrass) or when there are extended rainy spells such as the thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means that at the first signs of plant growth in the later winter/early spring, irrigation according to a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the land is dry enough to receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet periods. In the late summer/early fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the low marker (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage. Every effort should be made to maintain the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as long as the weather and waste utilization plan will allow it. Waiting.until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before starting to irrigate does not Ieave room for storing excess water during extended wet periods. Overflow from the lagoon for any reason except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of state law and subject to penalty action. The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following: Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam. Fescue or common bermudagrass are the most common vegetative covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year, if needed, to maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fertilizer applied should be based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not practical to obtain a soils test each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas should be fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-I0, or equivalent. Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may be done by mowing, spraying, grazing, chopping, or a combination of these practices. This should be done at least once a year and possibly twice in years that weather conditions are.favorable for heavy vegetative growth. NOTE: If vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to enter the lagoon water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating the waste. Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of the lagoon and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. Items to be checked should include, as a minimum, the following: Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes ---look for: 1. separation. of joints 2. cracks or breaks 3_ accumulation of salts or minerals 4. overall condition of pipes to Lagoon surface ---look for: 1. undesirable vegetative growth 2. floating or lodged debris Embankment ---look for: I. settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes 2. side slope stability ---slumps or bulges 3. wet or damp areas on the back slope 4. erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result of wave action 5. rodent damage Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon dam. A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action. If wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffles in the Iagoon may be used to reduce the wave impacts. Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam. If your lagoon has any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with design and construction of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary fix if there is a threat of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless recommended by an appropriate technical expert. Transfer Pumps ---check for proper operation of: I . recycling pumps 2. irrigation pumps Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or grinding noise, or a large amount of vibration, may indicate that the pump is in need or repair or replacement. NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that you are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform your pumping system mail enance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This will allow some safety time should major repairs_ be required. Having a nearly full Iagoon is not the time to think_about switching, repairing , or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is full, your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an inventory of spare parts or pumps. Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface = drainage -waters (such as rainfall•runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets, and parldng lot runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste treatment or storage structures. The only water that should be coming from your lagoon is that which comes from your flushing (washing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon directly. You should inspect your diversion system for the following: 1. adequate vegetation 2. diversion capacity 3. ridge berm height If Identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts. You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This will give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount (you must,also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may have an inflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the lagoon from the surrounding land. Lagoon Operation Startup: I. Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil surfaces to avoid erosion. i 2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before waste loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes. 3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender on the end of the pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial filling or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of the lining. 4. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather). 5. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full lagoon Iquid volume. This seeding should occour.at least two weeks prior to the addition of wastewater. 6. ` Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below 7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of I pound per 1000 cubic feet of lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid PH is between 7.5 and 8.0. 7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate biological activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is recommended if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm season. Loading: The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the better the lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily are optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained and recharged each day, also work well. Management: Practice water conservation ---minimize building water usage and spillage from leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through proper maintenance and water conservation. Minimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This will reduce the amount of solids entering the Iagoon Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and the full temporary storage level. Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the minimum liquid level and the maximum liquid lever (Figure 2-1). Start irrigating at the earliest possible -date in the spring based on nutrient requirements and soil moisture so that temporary storage will be maximized for the summer thunderstorm season. Similarly, irrigate in the late summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon storage for the winter. The lagoon liquid level should never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest point of the dam or embankment. Do not pump the lagoon liquid level lower that the permanent storage level unless you are removing sludge. Locate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid surface and as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible. Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-stemmed forage or vegetation, molded feed; -plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon. Frequently remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or wherever they are installed: Maintain strict vegetation, rodent,'and varmint control near lagoon edges. ' Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embankment. Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is full or before it fills 50 percent of the permanent storage volume. If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible. for obtaining and implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility of a pollutant discharge. Sludge Removal: Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by: proper lagoon sizing, mechanical solids separation of flushed waste, gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or minimizing feed wastage and spillage. Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will: have more nutrients, have more odor, and require more Iand to properly use the nutrients. Removal techniques: Hire a custom applicator. Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper -agitator impeller pump through large -bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland; and soil incorporate. 'Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or forageland; mix remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator; haul and spread onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate. Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or forageland; dredge sludge from lagoon with dragline or sludge barge; berm an area beside Iagoon to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back into lagoon; allow sludge to dewater; haul and spread with manure spreader onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate. Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed _for waste constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields will be limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field. and crop requirement. Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3. When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage: Close attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner remains . intact. -If. you see soil material or. the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can be removed without liner injury. If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as possible. Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and heavy metal content than liquid. Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus and metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of erosion. Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil -test phosphores, it should be applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value. The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site. Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which could increase the concern of neighbors. Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure Lagoon faildres result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure. Types of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of the dam. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for ensuring structure safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures include: Modification of the lagoon structure ---an example is the placement of a pipe in the dam without proper design and construction. (Consult an expert in lagoon design before placing any pipes in dams.) Lagoon liquid levels ---high levels are a safety risk. Failure to inspect and maintain the dam. Excess surface -water flowing into the lagoon. Liner integrity ---protect from inlet pipe scouring, damage during sludge removal, or rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater - table. NOTE: If lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving water will soon cause gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly cause a large discharge of wastewater and possible dam failure.

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. Ad ways 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. '5'oil 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.) 2400 sows x 6.1 tons waste/sows/year = 14640 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 2400 sows x 5.4 lbs PAN/sows/year = 12960 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. Page: 2 .

APPLIC METH N TIME END TOTAL10 Indicates that this field is being overseeded (i.e. interplanted) or winter annuals follow summer annuals. In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing, hay and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small grain to reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e. April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definitely interfere with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as --is.the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on time small grain is planted in the fall. The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results.

Page: 6 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN *** This number must be less than or"equal to 0 in order to fully utilize the animal waste N produced. 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 2112 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 10560 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 35.2 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 84.48 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25o depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application methods. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and Page: 7 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts. Tract Field Soil Type Crop Application Rate (in/hr) Applic.

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. Page: 8 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Your facility is designed for 180.00 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6.00 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste be stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm. It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. NARRATIVE OF OPERATION T-7016, Field #6; T-7017, Fields # 1 & 2 These fields are not required for 0200 certification. They are not planted to Coastal bermuda at this time. 'He will plant these fields as soon as possible sb he can apply waste in the spring of 1998. These fields are included in the waste plan „ but waste is not to be applied to these fields any sooner than thirty days prior to planting of the bermuda grass. Page: 9 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strip) 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field. 6. When ^animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. when applied to conservation tilled crops or -grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. Page: 10 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 -- Filter Strips). 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways -that discharges directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from --the-site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. Page: 11 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied-preplant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years'. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 23.---Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

Retain this plan for your use and records. It is strongly recommended that you, your contractor, and Soil Conservation Service personnel are in agreement as to how the waste lagoon is to be constructed. The Soil Conservation Service personnel will meet with all concerned parties and walk over the site to explain all flags and markings. It is important that everyone understand what is expected so that final construction meets plans and specification and the job can be certified for payment (if cost -sharing is involved). The.pad dimensions and grades are the best estimate. The BUILDER or CONTRACTOR is RESPONSIBLE for final layout and design of the pads. The Soil Conservation Service personnel will assist in a limited capacity, as its major concern is the proper design and construction of the waste treatment lagoon. The actual amount of material required for pads and'dam may vary from the estimates. The design.will'attempt to balance cuts and fills as close as possible. If additional material is required after construction is complete on the lagoon, the contractor and owner will negotiate on. the price and location of borrow area.

The time required for the planned fluid level to be reached may vary due to soil conditions,flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set, center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be taken when applying waste to prevent runoff from the field or damage to crops. The following items are to be carried out: 1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre - charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during start-up. -Pre-charging reduces the concentration of the initial waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be covered with effluent at all times. 2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see Attachment B) before land application. 3. Begin pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches eleva- tion 49.2 as marked by permanent markers. Stop pump -out when the fluid level reaches elevation UL 9 or before fluid depth is less than 6 feet deep (this prevents the loss of favorable bacteria) . 4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch -and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.4 inch per hour. 5. Keep'vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain a vigorous stand. 6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and establish in vegetation. 7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable outlets. 8. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States. The -Department of Environment,_Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ- mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law. SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS ---------------------------------------------------------- Clearing: All trees and brush shall be removed from the construction area before any excavating or fill is started. Stumps will be removed within the area of the foundation of the embankment and fill areas and all excavated areas. All stumps and roots exceeding one (1) inch in diameter shall be removed to a minimum depth of one (1) foot. Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The foundation area shall be loosened thoroughly before placement of embankment material. Cut-off Trench: --------------- A cut-off trench (when specified) shall be installed as shown in the plans. to �r/�.c4/ eraslce/rn- Construction: ------------- Construction of excavated and earthfill areas shall be performed -to the neat lines and grades as planned. Deviations from this will require prior approval of the SCS. Earthfill shall not be placed in standing water and reasonable compaction of the fills shall be performed by the construction equipment or sheeps-foot roller during placement.- The embankment of the lagoon sha-11 be installed using the more impervious materials. Construction of fill heights shall include ten (10) percent for settlement. To protect against seepage, when areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will need to be excavated a minimum of one (1) foot below grade and backfilled and compacted with a suitable material (ie-CL,SC,CH). Refer to the soils investigation information in the plans for special considerations. Precautions should be taken during construction -to prevent excessive erosion and sedimentation. Y �%1 Vegetation: All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construction.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the f ields 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. 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 yop 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.) 2400 sows x 6.1 tons waste/sows/year = 14640 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 2400 sows x 5.4 lbs PAN/sows/year 12960 lbs. 7ear Applying the -above ambunt 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 2112 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 10560 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 35.2 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate -of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 84.48 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25o depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application methods. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in Tables-1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and Page: 7 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts. Tract Field Soil Type Crop Application Rate (in/hr) Applic.

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 1.80.00 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6.00 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste be stored in Page: 8 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 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.

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) S. 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 irinNorth'Carolina" for guidance.) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. Page: 10 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released.nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than'an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 --Filter Strips). 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those. owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharges directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities; showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, -,and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. Page: 11 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied preplant with nQ 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.

PURPOSE To supply plant nutrients in amounts dictated by soil test, or tissue analysis, or accepted recommendations based on realistic yield expectations or plant performance for an intended use . ` To minimize excessive nutrient application while meeting a plant's performance based requirement for a particular nutrient To minimize nutrient loss to surface and ground water. . CONDITIONS WHERE PRACTICE APPLIES On lands where nutrients are applied. This standard applies to management of nutrients associated with organic waste, commercial fertilizer, legume crops, and crop residues. CRITERIA 1. Fertilizer source, time, and method of application shall be planned to conform to seasonal variation in plant uptake needs and soil profile properties to optimize economic return and minimize nutrient Ioss by leaching or surface transport_ Nitrogen or phosphorous are the most critical nutrients in planning for water quality. 2. Soil pH affects the availability of nutrients. Use soil tests to adjust soil pH to the level—` best suited for the crops being grown. University crop production guides and the North Carolina-AgriculturalChemicals �90- t Manual can also be consulted to find this _ value. 3. Soil shall be iested every two years. AS deficiency of any of the 16 esser:ttal elements will limit uptake and utilization of other more environmentally active nutrients. Soil testing identifies these yield limiting deficiencies as Nvell as identifying imbalances, excesses and levels potentially toxic to plants. •4. Zinc and, Copper levels in the soils shall be monitoaed and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excess levels. Refer to Table 2 in Standard 633 for threshold levels of these nutrients. 5. All sources and forms of plant nutrients including carryovcr from legumes and animal waste being made available for plant growth and production shall be considered in developing a nutrient management plan. 6. All animal waste products shall be analyzed by the agronomic division of North Carolina Department of Agriculture (NCDA) or other acceptable laboratories and the recommendations used to develop and implement a nutrient management program. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization. Unless otherwise required nitrogen shall be the rate -determining nutrient. 7. Establish a Realistic Yield Expectation (R.Y.E.) for any crop to be fertilized. This is accomplished by determining the mean of the best three yields of the last five consccutive crop harvests. If this information is not available, R.Y.E. can be established from specially developed soil interpretation records for Nutrient Conservation practice standards arc rtvitwed periodicaFly and updated if needed. To obtain the current version or this standard, contact the Natural Resources Conservation stn•itc. 590-2 management planning, harm Service Agency records, university trials, or inference from crop performance on soil with eery similar physical and chemical features. Application rates for nitrogen shall not exceed the amount determined by the R.Y,E. concept. Application rates for oil ot.'--j er nut,-ients shall not exceed the arnouni recommended in a soil test report or any approved source of this information for any nutrient targeted as a planning priority_ There are situations where a soil test reoon would not make a recommendation (based on economic return, i.e., a soil test index of 5 1), but an environmental problem would not result until the index reached 200. Where animal waste is involved, this situation may be common_ Even Nvhere additional response is not expected, it should be feasible to add amounts which will be removed in the harvested crop v ithout significant degradation of the environment. North Carolina. Thesc examples provide the guidelines for assessing nitrate (NO3) leaching risk and recommended management programs. Use Section I-B of the Technical Guide, leaching index maps, along with soils information for the field, to identify the potential for nitrogen loss_ a. The rate of nitrification in North Carolina soils is extremely rapid, the leaching of NIN4 is likely, the a,,ailabilit-v of anhydrous is on the decline, a --id the cost of pure nitrate sources very high. V,"here high leaching rates exist; and where appropriate for the crop in quesrion, nitrogen use efficiency and environmental safety can be enhanced by using split applications- b. On soils of interrnediate leachine ` potential, split and side dress nitrogen applications are highly recommended for best efficiency. c_ For soils with a leaching index (LI) of 2 or less, there is little concern for nitrate leaching losses. 9.

Important considerations for nutrient application include amount, source, placement, and timing. Plant nutrients may be applied as broadcast, starter, surface band or injected band applications. Any one method may have its advantages under a given set of plant nutrient demands, soil characteristics, and fertilizer source. 12. Section I-B of the Technical Guide, leaching index maps, demonstrates the comparative leaching potential of soils of 13. Nutrients for a spring -planted crop shall not be applied in fall or winter. Nutrients shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 14. Equipment shall be calibrated to apply recommended rates on the field. Special precautions must be taken to avoid well contamination when using fertigation.

Riparian buffers are very effective in trapping subsurface nitrate entering a stream and even sediment, but much less effective in trapping runoff of soluble phosphorus. Filter strips and grassed waterways have little N retention capacity. Grassed waterways do little to reduce nutrients and sediments lost front fields. $ased on the most likely pollutant sources for a site, consider specific practices which are most likely to reduce offsite movement of those pollutants. 13. Loss of nitrogen from the soil is dependent upon climate, soil, and fertilizer application program- Normally, with adequate soil moisture, nitrogen loss potential can be reduced by applying nitrogen fertilizer close to the time of greatest crop demand. Split applications may be needed to accomplish this. Ammonium forms are taken up by plants in significant amounts as nitrate within days after application for most crops. PLANS AND SPI CMCATIOtiS 8- 1. Establish realistic yield goals based on soil map units and the Soil Interpretation Records, or historical yield data, or compute by crop and soil combination the mean yield -� of the three highest yields of the last five consecutive crops. Develop a nutrient management plan for the crops to be grown. Account for the residual amount of nutrients in the soil and crop residue, including legumes add estimated nutrients from anticipated organic waste applications, and then determine the amount of fertilizer needed to meet the nutrient needs of the proposed crop and target yield. Specify the crop, crop rotation, and kind, source, application time and amount of plant nutrients that will be used to meet the crop fertility needs. Identify the priority nutrient or nutrients. If non -farm organic waste is to be used, it shall be analyzed for content and applied as prescribed by federal, state, or local regulations. Appropriate documentamon of amounts applied should be maintained. Frequency of soil test, waste ana]rsis. and plant tissue test shall be specified and conform with this standard. Credit for rtitroQen contnbutions legume crops in rotation shall be coia:stent with land grant university recommendations. Use the "Leaching Index for Soluble Nutrients" procedure or other detailed guidelines from land grant universities to evaluate groundwater pollution potential in conjunction with the water budget for the location. All specifications will be consistent with state and local regulations. A nutrient budget will be developed that shows soarces (soil residual, crop residues, organic waste, chemical fertilizer, and legume crops) and required amount(s) of nutrient(s) for the crop to be grown. Use the Nutrient Budget Worksheet (Exhibit 590-1 & 2) to document recommendations. Indicate the priority planning nutrient(s) on the worksheet. The worksheet shall show the form of fenlizer to be used and the application rates and method shall be specified. Nutrient application rates other than nitrogen on agricultural land shall be based on soil test and waste analysis, consistent with the NCDA or NCSU recommendations. 10, Nitrogen rates should be based on realistic crop yield expectations and shall consider all sources of nutrients that may be available as outlined in the attached nutrient budget worksheet. 11.

NC 2769S7620 919 515_2647 919.515 7959 (Sax) Memorandum TO, Norlh Carolina Certified Technical Specialists FROM: NC State University Forage Production Workgroup DATE: July 13, 1998 SUBJECT: Crop Management Practices for Select Forages Used in Waste Management The following is a four -page summary of suggestions for management practices for some forage crops that can be used in waste management plans. 'These suEgestions are a result of discussions within the NC State University Forage Production Workgroup, a group comprised of NC State faculty and MRCS agency personnel with expertise witb the crops. There are limited documented research responses of some of these practices on the many soils and environments where these crops are currently being grown. The Forage Production Workgroup has taken the available data and used the combined experiences and realistic estimates .of key people to come up with suggestions that will allow farmers to incorporate these crops and practices into waste management plans. As data become available to substantiate or refute these suggestions, the Forage Production Workgroup will make appropriate changes. Bermuda "Oversee'ded With Cereal Rye and Annual Ryegrass Currently two types of `Yyegrass" are being used for winter overseeding in fields used for animal waste management. Cereal rare is a winter annual smallgrain that looks similar to wheat, barley and oats. Annual r-yegrass is a winter anmual grass that looks much Iike tall fescue. Both of these grasses, when growing during the winter on bermttda 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.th_e year. is about 100 lbs'more than for bermuda Although cereal rye and annual iye&ass are sdiiable'crops for overseeding, the management of the crops are different and thus practices implemented are dependent on the crop selected. s rdc.�n c.7vn"a :-)4:- Jn1%me-,:v is Department c4 Crop Scit�ncc gty,f4 unrn-e+_G! w,,:] a cCe-',. wjll nI f h.

The seeding rate for broadcast planting of sueds should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last application of animal waste is to be applied to the berrnuda prior to August 31. ,fin application of 50 lbs/acre of Plant Available N (PAN) may be applied between September la and October 30. An additional 50 lbs/acre of PAN may be applied in February -March. if rve groLL -Lh is harvested on time and noes not significantly sh.Lde the bermuda, PAN rates fQr the subseauent bermuda crop are based on realistic yields of bermuda. A harvest is required prior ` to liead I., or April 7, Much ever conies first. This is necessary to minimize the potential for shadin�L, bermuda and reducing its yields. The P.AJ\1 rate for grazed systems with bermuda overseededwith cereal rve must be reduced in accordance with MRCS Technical Standard#5o0. 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 shoe bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior to August 31. An application of 50 lbs/acre of (PAN) may be applied between September 15 and October 30. An additional 50 lbs/acre of PAN may be applied in February -March. If additional PAN is applied to the ryegrass in April -May, the PAN rate for the bermuda must be reduced by a corresponding arrtount. This is necessary because ryegrass growth during April -May will reduce bermuda yields and shorten the time bermuda can fully utilize the N. A harvest is required by heading or April 7, which ever comes first to prevent shading of emerging bermuda during April -May period. To favor the production of the bermuda, additional harvests of ryegrass will be required when the ryegrass canopy reaches 12 to 15 inches height. The PAN rate for grazed systems with bermuda overseeded with annual ryegrass must be reduced in accordance with NRCS Technical Standard #590. .

On heavy imured Soils that are poorly to somc:w•ha: poorly drained, gamagrass may yield 1.5--3 limes rnore than hybrid bermuda. Gamagrass establishes slowly and will ndt` usu.:113r proauce much harvestable forage during the establishment year. it is best to allow the growth dunno the seedling year to accumulate: for most or all season, if It Ls to be harvested, it should be done after full seedhead formation on a majority of the plants. Therefore, PAN for the seedling year should be modified accordingly. Overseedine garnagrass with winter annuals is not currently advised because the harvesting or grazing management of the vdnier alinuai crops during February -April kvouid b-e detrimental to the survival of Carnagrass. Garnagrass should riot normally be harvested or grazed below 6-8 inches stubble. Application rates are to be based on the realistic N rates that address the N needs per tort of hay, a realistic yield and an appropriate application window. When harvested as hay in the 24- 36 inch stage of growth, the N rate ranges from 40-50 lbs/ton of dry matter. The PAN rate for grazed systems must be reduced in accordance with NRCS Technical Standard #590. The application window for garnagrass is slightly earlier than for bermuda; garnagrass starts growing about 3-4 weeks earlier than Coastal ber-mudagrass 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. iWatua) Rescuegrass is a cool season grass and makes most of its growth from March -June and September -November. It should receive most of its N during the September -October and late February through May months. Limited data are available for realistic yields of rescuegrass on various soils and at various N levels in North Carolina. However, until further data is collecied the following suggestions may be useful. 1. On sandy, well drained to excessively drained soils, rescuegrass may yield 1.5- 3 tunes fescue, assuming a uniform and dense stand of grass is present. • r4'r3F .. a..�. , ::7c�� �'r rt; Grp . a Ur'-" 04'Flarlr7lerlt CrI Crop SC. ..!Cc Q: r.v u''•u7Ay jr.1 d i(V4,C0Ly:0 r .IALAWI' U' I la; U'v. •ir-..tl 4nl fYrM1f� :: UlOil-rU i C'dIogv of Aiarlcullufe and 1 Ira 5cl„r,cw, campus box 7520 Fialv�yh, NC 27695-76G 919 515 2647 e 1 D.51 z�.7959 Iran 2.

When harvested as hay, the N rate is similar to othcr cool season grasses such as fescue, ranging from 40-50 lbs/ton. Rescuegrass may also continue some gro-wth in June -August if moisture is available. During these off-seasons, rescuegrass should not receive more than about 25 lbs N/acre/month. Only apply 25 lbs N/acre ui June -august if the equivalent of i-inch of water can be applied at the same time. if the crop does not respond with at [east a 1000 lbs of gro«'rh within a 3-5 week period do not make another application until the plants have had the opportunity to use the previous application.

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