Sludge Survey Testing Dates Certificate of Coverage No. AWS310372 King & Sons Farm Animal Waste Management System Duplin County Dear Mr. Kin;: The Division of Water Quality (Division) received your sludge survey information on March 31, 2011. With the survey results, you requested an extension of the sludge survey requirement for the lagoon at the King & Sons Farm. Due to the amount of treatment volume available, the Division agrees that a sludge survey is not needed until 2014. The next sludge survey for the lagoon at this facility should be performed before December 31, 2014. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please call me at (919) 715-6185 if you have any que$tions. Sincerely, _ L Larry W.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they -have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more.than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based. on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your. waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 2 Then; 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 property dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3 Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than -l0 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strip). 5 Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field- 6 When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.) 7 Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil Infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies. 8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. Page 5 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 9 Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10 Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these.soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11 Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 -Filter Strips). 12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14 Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that 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. Page 6 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced as necessary to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. 18 If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19 Waste handling structures, piping pumps, reels, etc.. should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20 Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications animal waste during the crop season. 21 Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22 Waste shall be tested within 60 days of. utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the. rate -determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metal approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 6*3 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

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 February 26, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Jerrell Brown, 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 AWS310372 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 Jerrell Brown Farm, located in Duplin County, with an animal capacity of no greater than an annual average of 2448 Feeder to Finish swine and the application to land as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until 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. �� RMENUR Non -Discharge Permitting Unit 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 Customer Service Center An Equal Opportunity Action Employer Internet httplm2o.enr.state.nc.us/ndpu Telephone (919) 733-5083 Fax (919)715-6048 Telephone 1-877-623-674B 50% recycle&100k post -consumer paper Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit documentation to the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to restocking of the facility.

ROAD ROSE HILL NC 28458 TELEPHONE: 910-289-2352 TYPE OPERATION: Feeder to Finish Swine NUMBER OF ANIMALS: 2448 hogs design capacity The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infilitration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special pre- cautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize,the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing -crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste.or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on waste application through irrigation for this is the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you choose to inject the waste in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for injecting waste and irrigating waste 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 require- ments should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE 2 !

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 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 the 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. Acreage figures may exceed total acreage in fields due overseeding. lbs AW N (animal waste nitrogen) equals total required less any commercial nitrogen (COMM N) supplied. to nitrogen WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE 4 The following legend explains the crop codes used in tables 1 and 2 above: LBS N CROP CODE CROP UNITS PER UNIT BH HYBRID BERMUDAGRASS-HAY TONS 50 SG SMALL GRAIN OVERSEEDED AC 50 TABLE 1 TABLE 2 TOTAL AMOUNT TOTALS FROM TABLES 1 AND 2 16 1 6000 16 *** BALANCE 1 6000 1 5630.4 1 -369.6 *** 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. NOTE: 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 905.76 pounds of plant available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the sludge that will need to be removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when broadcasting the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well special equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE 5 See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of waste water. 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. 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 waste being stored in your structure be within 1.7 feet of the top of the dike. If surface irrigation is the method of'land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. 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: WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE 6 Plans and 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. Illegal discharges are subject to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either has owns or has long term access to adequate land to properly dispose of waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement with a landowner who is within .a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. 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, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 Interim Riparian Forest Buffers). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should no; be applied when the wind is blowing. G. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in the NRCS Technical Reference - Environment file 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 conditions conducive to odor or flies and to provide uniformity of application. 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 no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE 7 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 a crop on bare soil. 11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. (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 wasters, drainageways, or wetlands by discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge into water courses, except when applied at agronomic rates and the application causes no runoff or drift from the site. 15. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to one (1) foot mandatory freeboard. 18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and 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. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. 19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and imple- menting a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 20. 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.

A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20 Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications animal waste during the crop season. L 21 Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22 Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metal approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 23 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

Only the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application. Any acreage within the plan that can not be reached by waste application equipment can not be used as part of your plan. An evaluation by Dean Hunkele on 10/31 /00 was made to review the actual number of acres at your facility that receive animal waste during land application_ The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of the following two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X". Category 1: The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Dean Hunkele the necessary information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre determination. Please submit this information to Dean Hunkele, at 127 Cardinal Drive Extension, Wilmington, NC 28405-3845, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you have any questions please contact Dean Hunkele at (910) 395-3900. If within 90 days you are unable to provide Dean Hunkele with the information you are automatically required to complete a Wettable Acre Determination as described by Category 2 below, within 180 days of receipt of this letter. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Telephone 919-733-5083 Fax 919-715-60U An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10%a post -consumer paper Notification for Wettable Acre Determination Animal Waste Management System Page 2 Category 2: ❑ Your facility has been identified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources as a facility that may have overestimated the number of acres actually receiving animal waste. Therefore, some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan. In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist trust be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special designation.. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this designation, or a Professional Engineer. All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be returned to DWO within the next 180 days. If the needed modifications are not made and if the form is not returned within the required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation, and/or injunctive relief. Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan must be kept at your facility. DWQ and the Division of Soil & Water Conservation Staff will review all documentation during their annual visit of your facility.

N OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN 9 Proper lagoon liquid management should be a year-round priority. It is especiatk c!' pGO�n important to manage levels so that you do not have problems during extended racy arG �G wet periods. TN P, c� Maximum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the zip m 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 6' . that at the first signs of plant growth in the later winter/early spring, irrigation according tk 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 leave room for storing excess water during extended wet periods. Overflow;. from the lagoon for any reason except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of state law and subject to penalty action. ` The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following: Maintenance,of a vegetative cover for the dam. Fescue or common bermudagrass are the most common vegetative covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year, if needed, to maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fertilizer applied should be based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not practical to obtain a soils test each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas should be fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or equivalent. Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may be ,. ,_;done by mowing,. spraying, grazing, chopping, or a combination of these practices. This should -be done -at least once a year and possibly twice in years that weather conditions are favorable for heavy vegetative growth. NOTE: If vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to enter the lagoon water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating the waste. Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of the lagoon and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. Items to be checked should include, as a minimum, the following: Waste Inlet. Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes —look for: 1. separation of joints 2. cracks or breaks 3. accumulation of salts or minerals 4. overall condition of pipes • Lagoon surface —look for: 1. undesirable vegetative growth 2. floating or lodged debris Embankment —look for: 1. settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes 2. side slope stability —slumps or bulges 3. wet or damp areas on the back slope 4. erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result of wave action 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. 1f wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffles in the lagoon may be used to reduce the wave impacts. Any of these features could lead to erosion and 'weakening of the dam. if your lagoon has any of these features, you should call ah appropriate expert familiar with design and construction of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary fix if there is a threat of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the ` technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless recommended by an appropriate technical expert. Transfer Pumps —check for proper operation of: 1. recycling pumps 2. irrigation pumps Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or grinding noise, or a large amount of vibration, may indicate that the pump is in need or repair or replacement. NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequent )y enough so that you are not com_&tely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform your pumping system Mainteriance:at a'time when your lagoon is at its low level: This will allow some safety time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly full lagoon is not the time to think -about switching, repairing, or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is full, your`-rieigh66`r's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an inventory of spare parts or pumps. Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets, and parking lot runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste treatment or storage structures. The only water that should be coming from your lagoon is that which comes from your flushing (washing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon directly. You should inspect your diversion system for the following: 1. adequate vegetation 2. diversion capacity 3. ridge berm height Identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is -needed to determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts. You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This will give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount (you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may have an inflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the lagoon from the surrounding land. Lagoon Operation Startup: Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil surfaces to avoid erosion. 2... Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before waste loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes. 3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender on the end of the pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial filling or another means of slowing the -incoming water to avoid erosion of the lining. 4. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather). 5. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full lagoon liquid volume. This seeding should occour at least two weeks prior to the addition of wastewater. G. Maintain a periodic•cheek on the lagoon liquid pH.- If the -pH falls -below - 7.0, add. agricultural iiri a at the rate of 1 pound per 1000 cubic feet of lagoon liquid volume ntil the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid -pH is between 7.5 and-8.0. 7. A.dark color; lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate biological activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is recommended if these conditions occur for.prolonged periods, especially during the warm season. Loading: The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a..lagoon, the better the lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily- are optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained and recharged each day, also work well. f ,t Management: Practice water conservation —minimize building water usage and spillage from leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through proper maintenance and water conservation. Minimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This will reduce the amount of solids entering the lagoon Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and the full temporary storage level. Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the minimum liquid level and the maximum liquid lever (Figure 2-1). Start irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring based on nutrient requirements and soil moisture so that temporary storage will be maximized for the summer thunderstorm season. Similarly, irrigate in the late summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon storage for the winter. The lagoon liquid level Should never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest point of the dam or embankment. Do not pump the lagoon liquid level lower that the permanent storage level unless you are removing sludge. Locate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid surface and as far, away from the drainpipe inlets as possible. Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-stemmed forage or vegetation, molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials. into the lagoon. Frequently remove solids -from -catch basins at end of confinement houses or wherever.they are installed. Maintain strict vegetation, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges. _ - "Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embankment. Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is full or before it fills 50 percent of the permanent storage volume. If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility of a pollutant discharge. Sludge Removal: Date 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 [and to properly use the nutrients. Removal techniques: Hire a custom applicator. Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper -agitator impeller pump through large -bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland; and soil incorporate. Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland. or forageland; mix remaining sludge; pump into.liquid sludge applicator; haul and spread onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate. Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or forageland; dredge sludge from lagoon with dragline or sludge barge; berm an area beside lagoon to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back into lagoon; allow sludge to dewater; haul and spread with manure spreader onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate. Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste constituents just as you would your lagoon Water. The sludge will contain different nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields will be limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field and crop requiremerttt:Waste.app.lication 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..th_ e pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon lifter remains intact. 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 [and 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 va[ue. The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site. Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which could increase the concern of neighbors. . . Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure Lagoon failures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure. Types of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of the dam. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for ensuring structure safety. Items which.may lead to lagoon failures include: Modification of the lagoon structure —an example is the placement of a pipe in the dam without proper design and construction. (Consult an expert in lagoon design before placing any pipes in dams.) Lagooh 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.

Actual total acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. NOTE: 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 905.76 pounds of plant available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the sludge that will need to be removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when broadcasting the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well special equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge. WASTE UTILIZATION PIK PAGE 5 .See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of waste water. 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. Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 5 months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in y dr structure be within 1_7 feet of the top of the dike. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to erasure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. 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: WASTE UTILIZATION PLF PAGE 6 Plans and Specificatiu.is 1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either has owns or has long term access to adequate land to properly dispose of waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. 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, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 Interim Riparian Forest Buffers). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should nod be applied when the wind is blowing. &. 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" in the NRCS Technical Reference - Environment file 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 conditions conducive to odor or flies and to provide uniformity of application. 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 no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered. WASTE UTILIZATION PLA PAGE 7 . 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 a crop on bare soil. 11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. (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 wasters, drainageways, or wetlands by discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge into water courses,'except when applied at agronomic rates and the application 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. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to one (1) foot mandatory freeboard. ; 18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided.for these areas and.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. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. 19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and imple- menting a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 20. 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.

Please review the attached plan and specifications carefully. 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. a The actual amount of material required for pads and dam may vary from the estimates. The design wil'i 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.

DESIGNED BY: APPROVED PY:�r J DATE: DATE: q 12,61 4 1 NOTE: SEE ATTACHED WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE -PLAN ------------------------------ This lagoon is designed for- waste treatment with minis us-ii odor, control. The time required for the planned fluid level to be reached may vary die 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. �. 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 47.8 as marked by permanent markers. Stop pump -out when the fluid level reaches elevation 45.8 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 ---------------------------------------------------------- CI easing: All tr-ees 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. Construction: ------------- Construction of excavated and earthfill areas shall be performed to the neat lines and grades as planned. Deviations from this will require prior approval of the SCS. Earthfill shall not be placed in standing water and reasonable compaction of the fills shall be performed by the construction equipment or sheeps—foot roller during placement. The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed using the more impervious materials. Construction of 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—CE,SC,CH). Refer to the soils investigation information in the plans for special considerations. Precautions should be taken during construction to prevent excessive erosion and sedimentation. Vegetation: All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construction. 1 w, Ar. ,_ IT • ;' S t'I", i { _ r �� _I. 1 1 I ^I-' �`•� .�-,. 1, ..I .H. ; i..l ..l ..f ' 1-i r� , ,• '.y 1 I i I.i i__.�. !.�-..�-:..:-i i.. . .... . !.

Box 277 Kenansville, MC 28349 Telephone 919-296-2121 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Date 16 - 9- W Dear Sir: Recently I received an AD-1026 form from the ASCS indicating that you have requested a wetland determination on an area you want to clear. Since most of the sails in this county have inclusions of wetlands, it is necessary that a soil scientist visit the area you want to clear to determine the presence or absence of these wet inclusions. Generally, I can get a soil scientist within 2 weeks so depending on the number of requests ahead of yours, I will try to have a determination for you within 4 weeks and possibly sooner. ` In order to avoid delays, there are a few things that you can do to speed up this process. Listed below are some suggestions: 1. If the area is wooded or overgrown with weeds and brush, cut some trails throughout the -area so that the soil scientist can walk through the area in several places and set flags of wetland area. If the trails are not cut the soil scientist may not be able to see the area completely thus either resulting in too much area being classified as wetlands or a delay in the determination until the trails are cut. Trails should not be pushed with tracked equipment since this may require a permit from the US Army Corp of Engineers. Manual labor or mowing is recommended. 2. Clearly mark the area where you want the determination. Corners should be easily identifiable on the ground. 3. If you are requesting a non-agricultural exemption for road construction or hog houses and lagoons, etc., send me a sketch of exactly .what the cleared area will be used for. Dimensions and other pertinent data should be included. This exemption is only available for limited use and cannot be for more acreage than is actually to be 'used for the exempted activity. Pasture planting for irrigating effluent is not an exempted activity. 4. Contact this office when you have completed these prerequisites so that a field visit can be scheduled. Thank you for:your cooperation. in completed. ..Your efforts will help you and others'.

SAMPLE COLLECTION A. Liquid Manure Slurry 1. Under -slotted -floor pit a. Use a length of 112" conduit open on one end and that can be easily sealed on the other end (e.g., by placing one's thumb over the end of the conduit). b. With both ends of the conduit open, extend it into the manure to the pit floor. c_ Seal the upper end of the conduit trapping the manure that has entered the lower end, remove and empty into a bucket or container. c. Collect samples from at least 5 locations or at least enough for a total of i quart of slurry. e. Thoroughly mix this slurry and empty approximately a/2 pint into sample container. 2. Exterior storage basin or tank a. Make,.sure the manure has been well mixed or homogenized with a liquid manure chopper -agitator pump or propeller agitator. b. Take samples from approximately 5 locations in the pit, from the agitator pump, or fro the manure spreader and place.in a bucket. c. Thoroughly mix and empty 1/2 pint into sample container. II. SAMPLE PREPARATION AND TRANSFER A. Place the sample .for analysis into a flexible or expandable container that can be sealed: The container should be rinsed clean with water and free of any residues but should not be chlorinated or treated in any other way. Dry, litter may also be placed in a sealed plastic bag such as a freezer bag. B. The sample should be refrigerated, iced or cooled, if possible, or trans- ferred to the lab immediately. C. ,hand -delivery is the most reliable way of sample transfer, but it can also be mailed. D. If mailed, sample container should first be protected with a packing material such as newspaper, then boxed or packaged with wrapping paper and taped. E. The NCDA Plant Analysis Lab provides this service for a nominal fee of $4 per sample which should be forwarded along -with the sample. PSWCD I 1. Address: N. C.

Collect approximately 112 pint of recycled lagoon Iiquid from the inflow pipe to the flush tanks. 2. From lagoon a. Place a small bottle (1/2 pint or less) on the end of a 10-15 foot long pole. b. Extend the bottle 10-15 feet away from the bank edge. c. Brush away any floating scum or debris so it is not collected with sample. d. Submerge the bottle within 1 foot of the liquid surface. e. Repeat at approximately 5 locations around the lagoon, place into a bucket, thoroughly mix, and empty 1 pint into sample container. 3. From a multi -stage lagoon system collect sample from lagoon that is going to be irrigated from. II. SAMPLE PREPARATION AND TRANSFER A.

ROAD ROSE HILL NC 28458 TELEPHONE: 910-289-2352 TYPE OPERATION: Feeder to Finish Swine NUMBER OF ANIMALS: 2448 hogs design capacity The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the Limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner.. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infilitration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special pre- cautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on -waste application -through irrigation for this is the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you choose to inject the waste in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for injecting waste and irrigating waste 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 require- ments should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples'to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. /0 WASTE UTILIZATION PLA; PAGE 2 ,AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.) . 2448 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 4651.2 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 2448 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 5630.4 lbs.

TIME END AL10 - 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 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 the 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 sj-lage 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. ** Acreage figures may exceed total acreage in fields due to overseeding. * lbs AW N (animal waste nitrogen) equals total required nitrogen less any commercial nitrogen (COMM N) supplied. 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 qnd 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,.sprokiers should be located along .a transect perpendicular to the direction. of pull: ; Se`t`dut colleivtion containers 25 feet apart along the:transeet on both sides Icif:the gun cart. You should compute the average application; rate' -for all. nortunifor-mity of the. application. On a windless day, variation between containers of rbore tK6n-:30 percent is cause. for- concern. You should .contact. your irrigation dealer or technical specialist for assistance.

The owner of each animal waste management system must submit a designation form to the Technical Assistance and Certification Group which designates an Operator in Charge and is countersigned by the certified operator. The enclosed form must be submitted by January 1, 1997 for all facilities in operation as of that date. Failure to designate a certified operator for your animal waste management system is a violation of 15A NCAC 2H .0224 and may result in the assessment of a civil penalty. If you have questions concerning operator training or examinations for certification, please contact your local North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service agent or our office. Examinations have been offered on an on -going basis in many counties throughout the state for the past several months and will continue to be offered through December 31, 1996.

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