Blizzard Jr. County: Duplin Name of Farm: P-2333 (14-16) Location: 1164 N NC 11&903 Kenansville, NC 28349 Phone: 910-296-1258 Type of Operation: Feeder -Finish Number of Animal: 2205 Storage Structure: Anaerobic Lagoon Method of Application: • Irrigation Amount of waste produced per year. 4190 ton/year Amount of plant available N (PAN) produced/year 5072 Ibs./year The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients In the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilizaWn 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 the 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. Sol] types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at more 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 from. Either of these conditions may in runoff to the surface waters which is not allowed under DWO regulations. 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. B. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crops 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 applications methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type nf.-facifity. 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 P-2333 (14-16) Page 2 I could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving i waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and the crop type. j 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. YOUR WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN IS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING: Tract No. Field No. Soil Type Crop Code Yield/Ac Lbs. N unit Ames Lbs N Used Month to Lbs.

Available ", 'ogen 5072 lbs. Surplus or deficit -828 lbs. 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. P-2333 (W16) Page 3 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 berrnudagrass), 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 materity, 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 the time small grain is planted in the fails. 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. Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying summer annuals under stressed conditions. Nitrate poisoning may occur in livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is recommended. Acres shown in the tables are considered to he the usable acres excluding required buffers, filters 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 field 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 794 lbs. of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove sludge every 5 years you will have approximately 3969 lbs. of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bmudegrass hayland at the rate of 300 lbstacre you will need 13 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 lbs. of nitrogen per acre you will need 32 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estmates of the PAN and the land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on the 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 pending 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 P 2333 (14-16) Page 4 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 irrdgate the acres shown in tables. Failure to apply the recommended rates and 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 No. Field No. Soil Type Crop Code Applic, Rat inlhr Applic.

In many situations the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitations. 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 instances 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 the waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates 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 have receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to appling the waste. NARRATIVE OF OPERATION IP 2333 (14-16) Page 6 WASTE 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. 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 property apply waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to propedyl dispose of waste, helshe shall provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing himther 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, historicai 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 we 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 pnsviding 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 that runoff does not occur offshe or to the 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. 8. 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 fail or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potentual 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 plantng,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 residenrial 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). P-2333 (14-16) Page 7 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 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 he landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right -of --ways. 16. 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. 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegtation 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 evidences 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 illigal 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 vegetation and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied pr Vant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and the 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 starage-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 (5) years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

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

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

Any discharge of waste that reaches surface water is prohibited. 2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient management Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving crop hype, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop `Melds 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 inay 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). S. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste application Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land application field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding (see "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance). 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 `eaters 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- 186381 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 3/18/2005 Specification Page 1 S. animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the soil surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995, shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters. 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be: discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided the fields have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 485381 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 3/18/2005 Specification Page 2 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 ►voodv species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept moved and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, and erosion. 19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption, it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. 486381 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 3/18/2005 Specification Page 3 Crop Notes The following crop note applies to field(s): 6 Corn: CP. ,Mineral Soil, medium leaching In the Coastal Plain, corn is normally planted when soil temperatures reach 52 to» degrees fahrenheit. Review the Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to select a high yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Plant 1-2" deep. Plant populations should be determined by the hybrid being planted. Increase the seeding rate by 10% when planting no -till. Phosphorus and potassium recommended by a soil test can be broadcast or banded at planting. When planting early in cool, wet soil, banded phosphorus will be more available to the young plants. An accepted practice is to apply 20-30 lbs/acre N and 20-30 lbs/acre phosphorus banded as a starter and one-half the remaining N behind the planter. The rest of the N should be applied about 30-40 days after emergence. The total amount of N is dependent on soil type. When including a starter in the fertilizer program, the recommended potassium and any additional phosphorus is normally broadcast at planting. Plant samples can be analyzed during the growing season to monitor the overall nutrient status of the corn. Timely management of weeds and insects are essential for corn production. The following crop note applies to field(s): 3, 4, 3 Small Grain: CP, Mineral Soil, medium leachable In the Coastal Plain, oats and barley should be planted from October 1 5-October 30; and rye from October 15-November 20. For barley, plant 22 seed/drill row foot and increase the seeding rate by 5% for each week seeding is delayed beyond the optimum time. See the seeding rates table for applicable seeding rate modifications in the current NCSU "Small Grain Production Guide".

Adaptation: Well -adapted. In the Coastal Plain, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. 1 to Mar. 31. Cover sprigs 1" to 3" deep (1.5" optimal). Sprigs should be planted quickly after digging and not allowed to dry in sun and wind_ For Coastal and Tifton 78 plant at least 10 bu/ac in 3' rows, spaced 2' to 3' in the row. Generally a rate of 30 bu/ac is satisfactory to produce full groundcover in one or two years under good growing conditions. Tifton 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bu/ac in 1.3' to 2' rows spaced 1' to 1.5' in row. For broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus, potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for am ttal maintenance. Apply 60 to 100 Ib/ac N in the establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply ISO to 240 ib/ac N annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts. Reduce N rates by 25% for grazing.

Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent. At clean out, this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates- In most cases, the priority nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since nutrient levels are generally very high, application of sludge must be carefully applied Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray fields should not be used for sludge application. If this is not possible, care should be taken not to load effluent application fields with high amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water moving to streams and lakes, phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a concern.

Available storage capacity is calculated as the design storage capacity in days minus the number of days of net storage volume accumulated The start date is a value entered by the user and is defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or holding pond is equal to zero. Available storage capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the design storage capacity of the facility. If the available storage capacity is greater than the design storage capacity, this indicates that the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated If available storage capacity is negative, the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design stcraQe volume of the structure. Either of these situations indicates that the planned application interval in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the structure's temporary storage capacity, Available Waste Storage Cavacity Source Name Swine Feeder -Finish Lagoon Liquid Design Storage Capacity (Days) Start Date 10/30 180 Plan Year Month Available Storage Capacity (Days) • 1 1 163 1 2 158 1 3 165 1 4 180 1 5 180 1 6 180 1 7 180 1 8 180 1 9 180 1 10 180 1 It 171 1 12 166 2 1 156 2 2 149 2 3 154 2 4 180 2 5 180 2 6 180 2 7 180 2 8 180 2 9 180 2 10 180 2 11 164 2 12 1 157 Available Storage Capacity is calculated as of the end of each month. 331272 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 08-08-2003 Capacity Page Page 1 of 1 Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management 1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste that reaches surface water is prohibited. 2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving crop type, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste application Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land application field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding (see "Weather 'and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance). 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- 331272. Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 8/812003 Specification Page 1 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the soil surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a }sigh potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1,1995 shall comply with the following; The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995, shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters. 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the lanilowner. 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 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. ---------------------------------------------------•------------------------------------------------------------- 331272 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 8/8/2003 Specification Page 2 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, and erosion. 19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption, it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years., 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina .regulations. ---------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 33.1272 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 8/8/2003 Specification Page 3 Crop Notes The following crop note applies to field(s): 6 Corn: CP, Mineral Soil, medium leaching In the Coastal.Plain, corn is normally planted when soil temperatures reach 52 to 55 degrees f Arenheit.

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

Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent. At clean out, this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases, the priority nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since nutrient levels are generally very high, application of sludge must be carefully applied. Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray fields should not be used for sludge application. If this is not possible, care should be taken not to load effluent application fields with high amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water moving to streams and lakes, phosphorous is a concern- Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a concern.

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

Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste that reaches surface water is prohibited. 2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving crop type, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste application Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land application field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding (see "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance). 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 331272 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 8/8/2003 Specification Paae 1 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the soil surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1,1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995, shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters. 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or' wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided the fields have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. lb. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------- 331272 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 8/8/2003 Soecifiication Page 2 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, and erosion. 19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption, it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the - rate -determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ 331272 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 8/8l2003 Specification Page 3 'Crop Notes The following crop note applies to field(s): 6 Corn: CP, Mineral Soil, medium leaching In the Coastal Plain, corn is normally planted when soil temperatures reach 52 to 55 degrees fahrenheit.

Plant populations should be determined by the hybrid being planted. Increase the seeding rate by 10% when planting no -till. Phosphorus and potassium recommended oy- a soil test can be broadcast or banded at planting. When planting early in cool, wet soil, banded phosphorus will be more available to the young plants. An accepted practice is to apply 20-30 lbs/acre N and 20-30 lbs/acre phosphorus banded as a starter and one-half the remaining N behind the planter. The rest of the N should be applied about 30-40 days after emergence. The total amount of N is dependent on soil type. When including a starter in the fertilizer program, the recommended potassium and any additional phosphorus is normally broadcast at planting. Plant samples can be analyzed during the growing season toimorutor the overall nutrient status of the corn. Timely management of weeds and insects are essential for com production.

'this plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of cropland needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements, and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient - uptake. This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or other by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each field in order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation.

Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent At clean out, this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases, the priority nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since nutrient levels are generally very high, application of sludge must be carefully applied Sites must first be eyaivated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally effluent spray fields should not be used for s"..' e application. If this is not possible, care should be taken not to load effluent application fields with high amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water moving to streams and Iakes, phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a concern.

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

Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste that reaches surface water is prohibited. 2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving crop type, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, MRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste application Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land application field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding (see "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance). 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. -------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 515499 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 8/12/2003 Smcification Page 1 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the soil surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. '%Vastein u trien t loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1,1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1,1995, shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters. 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not 1 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 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. ------------- -------- ----- 515499 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 8/12/2003 Specification Page 2 ... 4 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, and erosion. 19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption, it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I---------------------------------- 515499 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 8/12/2003 Specification Page 3 Crop Notes The following crop note applies to field(s): P4, P5 Small Grain: CP, Mineral Soil, medium leachable In the Coastal Plain, oats and barley should be planted from October 15-October 30; and rye from October 15 November 20.

This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or other by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each field in order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation.

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

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

Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste that reaches surface water is prohibited. 2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving crop type, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste application Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land application field. b. 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. ----- --------------- ----- ---- ------------ -------------------------------..--... • 2-82369 Database Version 2-0 Date Printed: 5/15/2003 Specification Page I . 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the soil surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Wastelnutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1,1995, shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters. 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the Iandowner. 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 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. ------ -- ------------------ --- -- ---- ---------- -- ----------------------------- ------ - 282369 Database Version 2A ➢ate Printed: 5/15/2003 Specification Page 2 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed iareas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, and erosion. 19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption, it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of • the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 23.

Plant populations should be determined by the hybrid being planted. Increase the seeding rate by 10% when planting no -till. Phosphorus and potassium recommended by a soil test can be broadcast or banded at planting. When planting early in cool, wet soil, banded phosphorus will be more available to the young plants. An accepted practice is to apply 20-30 lbs/acre N and 20-30 lbs/acre phosphorus banded as a starter and one-half the remaining N behind the planter. The rest of the N should be applied about 3040 days after emergence. The total amount of N is dependent on soil type. When including a starter in the fertilizer program, the recommended potassium and any additional phosphorus is normally broadcast at planting. Plant samples can be analyzed during the growing season to monitor the overall nutrient status of the corn.

Ross Jr., Secretary North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources May 1, 2003 Alan W. Klimek, P. E-. Director Division of Water Quality Subject: Certificate of Coverage No. AWS310382 Tom Farm Swine Waste Collection, Treatment, Storage and Application System Duplin County Dear O.R. Blizzard, Jr.: 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 January 16, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to O.R. Blizzard, Jr., 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 AWS310382 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 Tom Farm, located in Duplin County, with an animal capacity of no greater than an annual average of 2205 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.

If you wish to continue the activity permitted under the General Permit after the expiration date of the General Permit, an application for renewal must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration. This COC is not automatically transferable. A name/ownership change application must be submitted to the Division prior to a name change or change in ownership. If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this COC are unacceptable, you have the right to apply for an individual permit by contacting the staff member listed below for information on this process. Unless such a request is made within 30 days, this COC shall be final and binding. This facility is located in a county covered by our Wilmington Regional Office.

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

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

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

Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste that reaches surface water is prohibited. 2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving crop type, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land application field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding (see "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance). --------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 352393 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 9/23/02 Specification PaRe 1 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor and flies. S. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the soil surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Wastelnutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1,1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995, shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters. 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 352393 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 9/23/02 Specification Page 2 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided the fields have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, and erosion. 19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 352393 Database Version 2.0 • Date Printed: 9123/02 Specification Page 3 21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 352393 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 9/23/02 Specification Page 4 Crop Notes The following crop note applies to fteld(s): 6 Corn: CP, Mineral Soil, medium leaching In the Coastal Plain, corn is normally planted when soil temperatures reach 52 to 55 degrees fahrenheit. Review the Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to select a high yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Plant 1-2" deep. Plant populations should be determined by the hybrid being planted. Increase the seeding rate by 10% when planting no -till. Phosphorus and potassium recommended by a soil test can be broadcast or banded at planting.. When planting early in cool, wet soil, banded phosphorus will be more available to the young plants. An accepted practice is to apply 20-30 lbs/acre N and 20-30 lbs/acre phosphorus banded as a starter and one-half the remaining N behind the planter. The rest of the N should be applied about 3040 days after emergence. The total amount of N is dependent on soil type. When including a starter in the fertilizer program, the recommended potassium and any additional phosphorus is normally broadcast at planting. Plant samples can be analyzed during the growing season to monitor the overall nutrient status of the corn. Timely management of weeds and insects are essential for corn production. The following crop note applies to field(s): Ia, lb, 2a, 2b Small Grain: CP, Mineral Soil, medium leachable In the Coastal Plain, oats and barley should be planted from October 15-October 30; and rye from October 15-November 20. For barley, plant 22 seed/drill row foot and increase the seeding rate by 5% for each week seeding is delayed beyond the optimum time- See the seeding rates table for applicable seeding rate modifications in the current NCSU "Small Grain Production Guide". Also, increase the initial seeding rate by at least 10% when planting no -till. Oats should be planted at 2 bushels/acre and rye at 1-1 1/2 bushelslacre. Plant all these small grains at 1-1 1/2" deep. Adequate depth control is essential. Review the NCSU Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to select a high yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Apply no more than 30 lbs/acre N at planting. Phosphorus and potash recommended by a soil test can also be applied at this time. The remaining N should be applied during the months of February -March. ------- --- --- ---•-------------------------- -------------------------------- 352393 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 09-23-2002 Crop Note Page 1 of 3 The following crop note applies to field(s): la, lb, 2a, 2b Bermudagrass: CP, Mineral Soil, Moderately Well Drained. - Adaptation: Well -adapted. In the Coastal Plain, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. 1 to Mar. 31. Cover sprigs 1" to 3" deep (1.5" optimal). Sprigs should be planted quickly after digging and not allowed to dry in sun and wind. For Coastal and Tifton 78 plant at least 10 bu/ac in 3' rows, spaced 2' to 3' in the row. Generally a rate of 30 bu/ac is satisfactory to produce full groundcover in one or two years under good growing conditions. Tifton 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bu/ac in 1.5' to 2' rows spaced V to 1.5' in row. For broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus, potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 100 Ib/ac N in the establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply 180 to 240 lb/ac N annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts. Reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for more information or consult your regional agronomist or extension agent for assistance. The following crop note applies to field(s): 3, 4, 5, 6 Wheat: Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, medium leachable In the Coastal Plain, wheat should be planted from October 20-November 25. Plant 22 seed/drill row foot at 1-1 1/2" deep and increase the seeding rate by 5% for each week seeding is delayed beyond the optimum time. See the seeding rates table for applicable seeding rate modifications in the current NCSU "Small Grain Production Guide". Also, increase the initial seeding rate by at least 10% when planting no -till. Adequate depth control when planting the wheat is essential. Review the NCSU Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to select a high yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Apply no more than 30 lbs/acre N at planting. Phosphorus and potash recommended by a soil test report can also be applied at this time. The remaining N should be applied during the months of February -March. The total N is dependent on the soil type. Plant samples can be analyzed during the growing season to monitor the nutrient status of the wheat. Timely management of diseases, insects and weeds are essential for profitable wheat production.

When no -tilling soybeans in small grain straw, it is essential to manage the straw to achieve adequate plant populations. Review the NCSU Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to select a high yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Plant 2-4 seed/row foot for 7-8" drills; 4-6 seed/row foot for 15" rows; 6-8 seed/row foot for 30" rows and 8-10 seed/row foot for 36" rows. Increase the seeding rate by at least 10% for no -till planting. Seeding depth should be 1-1 112" and adequate depth control is essential. Phosphorus and potash recommended for the soybeans can be applied to the wheat in the Fall. Soybeans produce their own nitrogen and are normally grown without additions of nitrogen. However, applications of 20-30 lbs/acre N are sometimes made at planting to promote early growth and vigor. Tissue samples can be analyzed during the growing season to monitor the overall nutrient status of the soybeans. Timely management of weeds and insects is essential for profitable double crop soybean production. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- 352393 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 09-23-2002 Crop Note Page 3 of 3 State of North Carolina Department of Environment R_ECEr� and Natural Resources Division of Water Quality JAN 0 6 1998 James B.

In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers. Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRRI, IRR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRYS, SLUR1, SLUR2, SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an appropriate enforcement action. Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting requirement.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner: 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. Page: 1 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the same: The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.) 2205 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 4189.5 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 2205 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 5071.5 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.

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.

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 815.85 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 4079.25 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 13.5975 acres of Land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 32.634 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25%; depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application methods. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and Page: 6 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.

Page: 8 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: 9 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: 10 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied preplant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years.

PLWOSE 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 loss by leaching or surface transport. Nitrogen or phosphorous are the most critical nutrients in planning for water quality. 2. SoiI pH affects the availability of nutrients Use soil tests to adjust soil pH to the level best suited for the crops being grown. University crop production guides and the North Carolina Agricultural Chemicals 590-1 Manual can also be consulted to find this value. Sol] shall be tested every nvo years. As deficiency of any of the 16 essential elements will limit uptake and utilization of other more environmentally active nutrients. Soil testing identifies these yield limiting deficiencies as well as identifying imbalances, excesses and levels potentially toxic to plants. -4. Zinc anO Copper levels in the soils shall be monito.-ed and alternative crop sites shall be used :when these metals approach excess levels. Refer to Table 2 in Standard 633 for threshold levels of these nutrients. 5. All sources and forms of plant nutrients including carryover from legumes and animal waste being made available for plant growth and production shall be considered in developing a nutrient management plan. Ail 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 6t7 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 consecutive 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 are reviewed periodically and updated if needed. To obtain the current version of this standard, contan the Natural Resources Conservation Service. 590-2 management planning, Farm Service Agency records, university trials, or inference from crop performance on soil with very similar physical and chemical features. Application rates for nitrogen shall not exceed the amount determined by the R.Y.E. concept_ Application rates for all other nutrients shall not exceed the amount recommended in a soil test report or any approved source of this information for any nutrient targeted as a planning priority. There are situations where a soil test report would not make a recommendation (based on economic return, i.e., a soil test index of 51), but an environmental problem would not result until the index reached 200. Where.animal waste is involved, this situation may be common. Even where additional response is not expected, it should be feasible to add amounts which will be removed in the harvested crop without significant degradation of the environment. North Carolina. 7-tiese examples provide the guidelines for assessing nitrate (NO3) leaching risk and recommended management programs. Use Section I-B of the Technical Guide, leaching index maps, along with soils information for the field, to identify the potential for nitrogen loss. a. The rate of nitrification in North Carolina soils is extremely rapid, the leaching of NH4 is likely, the availability of anhydrous is on the decline, and the cost of pure nitrate sources very high. Where high leaching rates exist, and where appropriate for the crop in question, nitrogen use efficiency and environmental safety can be enhanced by using split applications. b_ On soils of intermediate leaching potential, split and side dress nitrogen applications are highly recommended for best efficiency. c. For soils with a leaching index (LI) of 2 or less, there is little concern for nitrate leaching losses. 9. Choose a fertilization rate within recommended ranges that considers local d.

For ecch ton of hay harvested from a pasture system the nitrogen application may be returned to the RYE (N) application rate for hay. I When waste is to be applied to soybeans, it should be accomplished at preplant or planting. The crops entire nitrogen needs should be met with this application 2 N rates in excess of 120 pounds per acre are seldom justified for wheat, barley, oat, rye, triticale, and cotton. Do not apply more than 100 pounds of N when ovcrseeding small grain or Ryegrass into Bermudagra_ss. 3 The total Nitrogen application shall not exceed 120 tbs. Per acre per year. NRCS, NC 1UNE, 1998 Rr,, 4 4 CONSIDERATIONS This practice can reduce the likelihood that applied nutrients would pollute surface or ground water by I imi6ng the amount applied to only that needed. Evaluate the vulnerability of environmentally sensitive areas and waters that have been stressed by the presence of an over abundance of plant nutrients. 2. Good tilth enhances water infiltration, thus reducing nutrient removal through soil erosion. Also adequate soil water is necessary for efficient nutrient use. Conservation practices that manage plant residues shoul&be considered, i.e.: Residue Management, No -till (329) Residue Management, Seasonal -(344) Cover and Green Manure Crop (340) Critical Area Planting (342) Striperopping (585 and 585) Cover crops can be used as scavengers to take up excess plant nutrients applied in the previous season to prevent their movement out of the root zone. Very little of the scavenged nutrients are available to the following crop, (usually <15% of the N taken up). They should be harvested for maximum benefit. Organic wastes can provide an important source of nutrients. State and local regulations, the NRCS Agriculture Waste Management Field Handbook, North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service (NCCES) Crop Production Guides, North Carolina State University (NCSU) Agricultural Chemical Manual, soil test and waste analysis reports will provide guidance concerning waste utilization. Sources of plant nutrients may include residual amounts in the soil, crop residues including legumes, waste products, and commercial fertilizer. Commercial 590-4 fertilizers are those products with a guaranteed analysis under North Carolina law. G. Forage plants being used for nitrogen uptake should be selected based on their adaptation to the soil. Plants not adapted to a site will have a short life and maintaining a vigorous stand will be difficult_ Plant tissue samples should be taken to evaluate nutrient status and to support the need for additional nutrient applications. Excessive concentrations of one or more nutrients may induce deficiencies. Soil pTLshould be maintained in the optimum range for each crop to improve availability of soil and applied nutrients and to minimize the release of potentially toxic elements. 9. C Factors from RUSLE can be more effective in controlling water runoff than LS and P Factors, C Factors effect root distribution, soil temperature and a host of other variables. Numerically low C Factors buffer yields from climatic variations most likely by improving moist -are status in the soil. The same C Factors can increase the likelihood of leaching losses. Consider the environmental impact from increased leaching. 10. Consider waste storage and treatment needs to meet application timing as well as land area requirements for proper waste utilization. 11. Water table management through controlled drainage reduces the movement of nutrients by reducing total outflow from a managed area and it also promotes denitrification. NRCS, NC JUKE, 1999 Rev. 4 590-5 12. Riparian buffers are very effective in trapping subsurface nitrate entering a stream and even sediment, but much less effective in trapping runoff of soluble phosphorus. Filter strips and grassed waterways have little N retention capacity. Grassed waterways do little to reduce nutrients and sediments lost from fields. Based on the most likely pollutant sources for a site, consider specific practices which are most likely to reduce offsite movement of those pollutants. 13. Loss of nitrogen from the soil is dependent upon climate, soil, and fertilizer application program. Normally, with adequate soil moisture, nitrogen loss potential can be reduced by applying nitrogen fertilizer close to the time of prescribed by federal, state, or local regulations. Appropriate documentation of amounts applied should be maintained. Frequency of soil test, waste analysis, and plant tissue test shall be specified and conform with this standard. Credit for nitrogen contributions from legume crops in rotation shall be consistent with land grant university recommendations. 6. 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. greatest crop demand. Split applications may be needed to accomplish this. g• Ammonium forms are taken up by plants in significant amounts as nitrate within days after application for most crops. PLAINS AND SPECIMCATIO`S 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. 2. DeveIop 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. 3. If non -farm organic waste is to be used, it shall be analyzed for content and applied as All specifications will be consistent with state and local regulations. A nutrient budget will be developed that shows sources (sot] 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 workshect shall show the form of fertilizer 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 availabh as outlined in the attached nutrient budget worksheet. 11. The following items should be included. Those items marked with an asterisk shall be recorded as minimum documentation requirements. 4 a. Location NRCS,NC JUNE. 199E * b.

When animal waste is utilized as a nutrient source adhere to plans and specifications in Standard 633. OPERATION AND 1`1A1NIMNANCE Special precautions trust be taken to avoid well contamination when using fer€igation. 2. Equipment should be cleaned after nutrient application. Waste water resulting from flushing application equipment should be kept away from wells, streams, ponds, lakes, or other water bodies and out of high runoff areas. Follow all state and local regulations concerning storage of materials and disposal of product containers. 3. Avoid unnecessary exposure to hazardous chemical fertilizer and organic wastes. 590-6 Protective clothing, including goggles, a respirator, gloves and footwear should be worn when handling potentially dangerous materials. 4. Dispose of product containers in accordance with local and/or state regulations_ Follow all local, state, and federal regulations regarding the transport of fertilizers. In case of an accidental fertilizer spill, call 911. The dispatcher will notify the County Emergency Management Coordinator who will notify the State Emergency Management Coordinator. 5. Refer to Standard 633 for operation and maintenance of an approved animal`waste utilization plan. REFERENCES Soil Facts, Nutrient Content of Fertilizers and Organic Materials.

Thes:, suggestions are a result of discussions within the NC: State UniversitY forage Production \ orkgroup, a group comprisco of \C State faculty and lti1RCS agency personnel with expertise with the crops. There are limited documented research responses of some of th;:se practices on the many sails 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 suggesrions, the Forage Production Workgroup will make appropriate changes. Bermuda Overseeded With Cereal Rye and Annual Ryegrass Currently two types of "ryegrass" are being used for winter overseeding in fields used for animal waste management. Cereal rare is a winter annual srrtallgrain that looks similar to wheat, barley and oats. Annual CycVrass is a winter annual grass that looks much like tall fescue. Both of these grasses, when growing during the winter on bermuda sod, can have significant impact on subsequent bermuda yields. In effect, the total _yields from an acre growing the combination of bermuda with these winter annuals will usually yield between 1-2 tons more per acre than bermuda growing alone for the year. Therefore, the total amount of PAN /acre for the year is about 100 lbs more than for bermuda alone. Although cereal rye and annual ryegrass are suitable crops for overseeding, the management of thee- crops are different and thus practices implemented are dependent on the crop selected. t:rzrrCa:.Ir.,Jil ..hr::--.:. r. r] f)ct)6rir11cn1 x Cr0jl5rresclrr Oren! unN2'�Yj c`•= 3 u•c.^,C�'r: r, u'hlL �.,n CoflaLa of Ag-:ulfur, 2PJ I_r1e Sclorjr_cy., Campus Box malign.

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 tali) bermudagrass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The se-eding rate for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 tirrres the rate for dulled seeds. The last application of anhrW waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior. to August 31. Art 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 PAIN' is ,.plied to the ryegrass in April -May, the PAN rate for the bermuda must be. reduced by a corresponding amount. This is necessary because ryegrass growth during April -May will reduce berruuda yields and shorten the tirric 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 1NTRCS Technical Standard #590. ].era!

(Written approval of the State Veterinarian must be attached) OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN Proper lagoon liquid management should be a year-round priority. It is.especially important to manage levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and wet periods. Maximum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the receiving crop is dormant (such as wintertime for'bermudagrass) or when there are extended rainy spells such as the thunderstorm -season in the summertime. This means that at the first signs of plant growth in the later winter/early spring, irrigation according to a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the land is dry enough to receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet periods. In the late summer/early fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the low marker (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage. Every effort should be made to maintain the lagoon dose 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 conditien of pipes Lagoon surface —look for: i . undesirable vegetative growth 2. floating or lodged debris Embankment --look for: 1. settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes 2. side slope stability ---slumps or bulges. 3. wet or -damp areas on the back slope 4. erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result of -wave action 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 lagoon may be used to reduce the wave impacts. Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam. If your lagoon has any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with design and construction of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary fix if there is a threat of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be roviewed 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 frequently enough so that you are not completely "surprised" by'equipment failure. You should perform your pumping system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This will allow some safety time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly full lagoon is not the time to think about switching, repairing , or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is full, your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an inventory of spare parts or pumps. Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets, and parking lot runoff} away from your lagoon and other waste treatment or storage structures. The only water that should be coming from your lagoon is that which comes from your flushing (washing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon directly. You should inspect your diversion system for the following: 1. adequate vegetation 2. diversion capacity 3. ridge berm height Identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts. You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This will give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount (you must also be recording your -rainfall for this. to work). Knowing this should help in planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may have an inflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the lagoon from the surrounding land. Lagoon Operation Startup: 1. Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil surfaces to avoid erosion. 2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before waste loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes. 3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender on the end of the pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial filling or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of the lining. 4. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather). 5. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full lagoon liquid volume. This seeding should occour at least two weeks prior to the addition of wastewater. 6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below 7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of 1 pound per 1000 cubic feet of lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid pH is between 7.5 and 8.0. 7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate biological activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is recommended if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm season. Loading: The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the better the lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily are optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained and recharged each day, also work well. 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 Management: Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanentstorage 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 Iever (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 Iagoon 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 1$ 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 Iagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is full or before it fills 54 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: l 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 lagoon to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back into Iagoon; allow sludge to dewater; haul and spread with manure spreader onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate. Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields will be limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field and crop requirement. Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3. When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage. Close attention by the pumper or drag --line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner remains intact. If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can be removed without liner injury. If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as possible. Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and heavy metal content than liquid. Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus and metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and 'incorporated to reduce the chance of erosion. Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil -test phosphores, it should be applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value. The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site. Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which could increase the concern of neighbors. Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure Lagoon failures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure. 'Types of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of the dam. - Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for ensuring structure safety. Items which may lead to Iagoon 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. 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 sca`-e 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, sprinklers should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direction of pull. Set out collection containers 25 feet apart along the transect on both sides of the gun cart. You should compute the average application rate for all nonuniformity of the application. On a windless day, variation between containers of more than 30 percent is cause for concern. You should contact your irrigation dealer or technical specialist for assistance. `Reprinted for Certification Training for Operations of Anima!

DESIGNED BY: Mc SJ j /S""` APPROVED BY :�f G ; c � ►} DATE: DATE: G/z,5 aj 2 NOTE: SEE ATTACHED WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN ------------------------------ This lagoon is designed for waste treatment with minimum odor control. The time required for the planned fluid level to be reached may vary due to soil conditions,flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set, center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be taken when applying waste to prevent runoff from the field or damage to crops. The following items are to be carried out: 1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre - charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during start-up. Pre -charging reduces the concentration of the initial waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be covered with effluent at all times. 2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see Attachment B) before land application. 3. Begin pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches eleva- tion 47.3 as marked by permanent markers. Stop pump -out when the fluid level reaches elevation 45.0 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 4.4 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.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner: 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is'raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. Page: 1 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.,) 2205 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 4189.5 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 2205 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 5071.5 lbs. PAN/year Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner. The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

In interplanted fields j 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: 5 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying summer annuals under stressed conditions. Nitrate poisoning may occur in livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is recommended. ** 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.

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 815.85 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 4079.25 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 13.5975 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 32.634 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. I I I (Application RatelApplic.

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 5.00 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.

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 fbr 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.

Application rates for nitrogen shall not exceed the amount determined by the R.Y.E. concept. Application rates for all other nutrients shall not exceed the amount recommended in a soil test report or any approved source of this information for any nutrient targeted as a planning priority. There are situations where a soil test report would not make a recommendation (based on economic return, i.e., a soil test index of 51), but an environmental problem would not result until the index reached 200. Where animal waste is involved, this situation may be common. Even where additional response is not expected, it should be feasible to add amounts which will be removed in the harvested crop without significant degradation of the environment. 9. Choose a fertilization rate within recommended ranges that considers Iocal water quality needs. 10. All nitrogen rates for hay production are for pure grass stands. Reduce all hay crop nitrogen rates by 25 percent when grazing. For each ton of hay harvested from a pasture system the nitrogen application rate may be returned to the RY.E. application rate for hay. 11. 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 North Carolina. llhcsc examples provide the guidelines for assessing nitrate (NOD leaching risk and recommended management programs. Use Section I-B of the Technical Guide, leaching index maps, along with soils information for the held, to identify the potential for nitrogen toss. a. The rate of nitrification in 1\orth Carolina soils is extremely rapid, the leaching of NH4 is likely, the availability of anhydrous is on the decline, and the cost of pure nitrate sources very high. Where high leachine rates exist, and where appropriate for the crop in question, nitrogen use efficiency and environmental safety can be enhanced by using split applications. • b. On soils of intermediate leaching potential, split and side dress nitrogen applications are highly recommended for best efficiency. c. For soils with a leaching index (L1) of 2 or less, there is little concern for nitrate leaching losses. d. Erosion control and water management practices shall be included to minimi2e soil loss transport and runoff which may carry attached and dissolved nutrients to surface waters. This is of particular importance where soils contain high Ievels of phosphorous. Incorporating nutrients into the soil generally reduces the chance of loss in runoff in the dissolved form. 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_ 590.3 The crops shown in Table 1 are the typical recommended crops for waste utilization but is not an inclusive list_ Waste may be applied to other crops based on the nitrogen recommendation for R.Y.E. as shown in NC Cooperative Extension Service Crop Production Guides, the NRCS Agriculture W"a to Management Field Guide or the.NC Agriculture Chemicals Manual.

NRCS, NC CONSIDERATIONS This practice can reduce the likelihood that applied nutrients would pollute surface or ground water by limiting the amount applied to only that needed. Evaluate the vulnerability of environmentally sensitive areas and waters that have been stressed by the presence of an over abundance of plant nutrients. Good tilth enhances water infiltration, thus reducing nutrient removal through soil erosion. Also adequate soil .water is necessary for efficient nutrient use. Conservation practices that manage plant residues should be considered, i.e.: Residue Management, No -till (329) Residue Management, Seasonal'(344) Cover and Green Manure Crop (340) Critidal Area Planting (342) Striperopping (585 and 586) 3. Cover crops can be used as scavengers to take up excess plant nutrients applied in the previous season to prevent their movement out of the root zone. Very little of the scavenged nutrients are available to the following crop, (usually <I5% of the N taken up). They should be harvested for maximum benefit. Organic wastes can provide an important source of nutrients. State and Iocal regulations, the NRCS Agriculture Waste Management Field Handbook, North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service (NCCES) Crop Production Guides, North Carolina State University (NCSU) Agricultural Chemical Manual, soil test and waste analysis reports will provide guidance concerning waste utilization. 5. Sources of plant nutrients may include residual amounts in the soil, crop residues including legumes, waste products, and commercial fertilizer. Commercial 590-4 fertilizers arc those products with a guarantced analysis under North Carolina law. Forage plants being used for nitrogen uptake should be selected based on their adaptation to the soil. Plants not adapted to a site will have a short life and maintaining a vigorous stand will be difficult. Plant tissue samples should be taken to evaluate nutrient status and to support the need for additional nutrient applications. Excessive concentrations of one or more nutrients may induce deficiencies. Soil pH.shouid be maintained in the optimum range for each crop to improve availability of soil and applied nutrients and to minimize the release of potentially toxic elements. C Factors from RUSLE can be more effective in controlling water runoff than LS and P Factors. C Factors effect root distribution, soil temperature and a host of other variables. Numerically low C Factors buffer yields from climatic variations most likely by improving moisture status in the soil. The same C Factors can increase the likelihood of leaching Iosses. Consider the environmental impact from increased leaching. 10. Consider waste storage and treatment needs to meet application timing as well as Iand area requirements for proper waste utilization. 11. Water table management through controlled drainage reduces the movement of nutrients by reducing total outflow from a managed area and it also promotes • denitrification. NRCS. NC 1tINF_ 1998 M 3. 590-5 12. Riparian buffers are very effective in trapping subsurface nitrate entering a stream and even sediment, but much less effective in trapping runoff of soluble phosphorus. Filter strips and grassed waterways have little N retention capacity. Grassed waterways do little to - reduce nutrients and sediments lost from fields- Based on the most likely pollutant sources for a site, consider specific practices which are most likely to reduce offsite movement of those pollutants. 6 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 SPECIFICATIONS 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.

These suggestions are a result of discussions within the NC: State University Forage Production \t'orkgroup, a group wmprist:d of NC State faculty and MRCS agency personnel with expertise with the crops. There are limited documented research respanszs 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 Overseeded With Cereal Rye and Annual Ryegrass Currently two types of `ryegrass" are being used for winter overseeding in fields used for animal waste management. Cereal r y is a winter annual smaIlgrain that looks sanilar to wheat, barley and oats. Annu I ryegrass is a winter annual grass that Iooks much like tall fescue. Both of these grasses, when growing du iuig the winter on bermuda sod, can have significant irrfpact on subsequent bermuda yields. In effect, the total yields from an acre growing. the combination of bermuda with these winter annuals will usually yieId between 1-2 tons more per acre than Bermuda growing alone for the year. Therefore, the total amount of PAN /acre for the year is about 100 lbs more than for bermuda alone. Although cereal rye and annual ryegrass are suitable crops for overseeding, the management of the crops are different and thus practices implemented are dependent on the crop selected. r.Can C.:-.4r1r1 =1<'• -!a.--_".

The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling ryegrass into short (less thzfn 3 inches tall) bermudagrass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate for broadcast planting of seeds -should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last application of animal waste. is to be applied to the bermuda prior. to August 31, An application of 50 lbslacrt 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 PAR' is applied to the ryegrass in April -May, the PAN rate for the bermuda must be reduced by a corresponding arnount. This is necessary because ryegrass growth during April -May wfll reduce bermuda -yields and shorten the tune bermuda can fully utilize the N. A harvest is required by heading or April 7, which ever comes fist to prevent shading of emerging bermuda during April-1-4ay 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.

Application rates are to be ba,ed on the realistic N rates that address the N needs per ton of hay, a realistic yield and an appropriate application window_ When harvested as hay in the 24- 36 inch stage of growth, the N rate ranges from 40-50 Ibslton of dry matter. The PAN rate for grazed systems must be reduced in accordance with MRCS Technical Standard 4590. The application window for gamaarass is slightly earlier than for bermuda, gamagrass starts growing about 3-4 weeks earlier than Coastal bermudagrass and about 2-3 weeks earlier than Tifton 44. Gamagrass is dormant from frost to March. The last application of PAN in the summer should be prior to August 31. Rescuegrass (i.e. Matua) 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 collected the following suggestions may be useful. 1. On sandy, well drained to excessively drained soils, rescuegrass may yield 1.5- 3 times fescue: assuming a uniform and dense stand of grass is present. r- f,.•,:- .....r _ nv-i'', .,. .u<- :)•,;l;fr if It"r0.
