The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste
is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed
before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant
nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to,.be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize
the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner:
1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials,
cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but
less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established.
4� Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen.
Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed
under DWO regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor
problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential
for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than
30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy, Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems RF,-CF,1VF,1--D1

This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change
methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application
methods are not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content
for this type of facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could
allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to
be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must
be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

This plan does not include commercial fertilizer. The farm should produce adequate plant
available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above.
The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements.
In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen.
In interplanted fields ( i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermuda), forage must be removed
through grazing, hay, and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they
reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a
height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care
should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definately interfere
with stand of bermuclagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen
being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is
the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to
consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is
recommended over broadcasting. Bermuclagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of
about two inches before drilling for best results.

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 2000 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year will accumulate in the lagoon
sludge based on the rates of accumulation listed above.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 10000 pounds of plant
available nitrogen to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermuda grass hayland at the
rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 33 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge
to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 80 acres of land. Please note that these
are only estimates of the PAN produced and the land required to utilize that PAN. Actual values
may only be determined by sampling the sludge for plant available nitrogen content prior io application
Actual utilization rates will vary with soil type, crop, and realistic yield expectations for the specific
application fields designated for sludge application at time of removal.

The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation
such that runoff or poncling occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil
structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not
exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the -
plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the. crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the
producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly
irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
*This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount
of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations, the application
amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions.
Your facility is designed for >180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of the
waste stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of
freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment
is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to apply
the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in
determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste.

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

NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is
not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage
from animal waste should also be considered.
10 Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils
with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient loading rates on these soils should be
held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients.
Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages
breaking dormancy.
11 Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following:
The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a
component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary
and canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste from- facilities sited on or after October 1,
1995, shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters.
12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those
owned by the landowner.
14 Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways.
15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by
discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland
provided the fields have been approved as a land application site by a "technical
specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge
directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at
agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16 Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall
not be discharged into the animal waste management system,

(continued)
17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas
(lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to
protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc.,
are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed
and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of
erosion, leakage, or discharge.
18 If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
19 Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular
basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be
kept on site.
20 Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct
human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human
consumption, it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications of animal
waste during the crop season.
21 Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the
temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be
managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to
mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds.
22 Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually
at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining
nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients,
resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in
the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals
approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and maintained for optimum crop
production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years.
Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years.
Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for a minimum of five
years.
23 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

This amendment is intended to extend the pumping window on Bermuda through
September 15'�, 2003. The crop on the farm was found to be in good health and at a stage
that is receptive to Nitrogen application. Cro 1� removal from the fields is expected to be
sufficient to receive PAN until September 15' , 2003. Warm temperatures and good
weather will contribute to growth and uptake of nutrients by the crop.

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste
is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed
before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant
nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize
the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner:
1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials,
cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but
less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen.
Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed
under DWO regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor
problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential
for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than
30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy, Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
1 Of a

This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change
methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application
methods are not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content
for this type of facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could
allow additional waste to be applied. P�ovlslons 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 uti I ization plan, if carried out, meets the requ i rements for complia nee with 15A NCAC
2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

LAND UTILIZATION SUMMARN
The following table describes the nutrient balance and land utilization rate for this facility
Note that the Nitrogen Balance for Crops indicates the ratio of the amount of nitrogen produced
on this facility to the amount of nitrogen that the crops under irrigation may uptake and utilize
in the normal growing season.
Total Irrigated Acreage: 2.94

The following table describes the specifications of the hydrants and fields that contain the crops
designated for utilization of the nitrogen produced on this facility. This chart describes the size,
soil characterisbcs, and uptake rate for each crop in the specified crop rotation schedule for this
facility.

This plan does not include commercial ferfllizer. The farm should produce adequate plant
available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above.
The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements.
In the future, regulations may require fanners in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen.
In interplanted fields ( i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermuda), forage must be removed
through grazing, hay, and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they
reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a
height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care
should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definately interfere
with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen
being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is
the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to
consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is
recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of
about two inches before drilling for best results.

Dear Brown's of Carolina, Inc.:
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
Pen -nit AWG100000. Therefore, the General Permit has been re -issued by the Division to extend the
expiration date to October 1, 2004. During the period of this extension the Division will be working with
all interested parties on the development of a new version of the Non -Discharge General Permit.
In accordance with your application received on February 13, 2003 and in accordance with the directive
of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to
Brown's of Carolina, Inc., authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment,
storage and land application system in accordance with General Permit AWGIOOOOO. The issuance of
this COC supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS310401 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 Farm #12, located in Duplin County, with an animal capacity of no greater than
an annual average of 2000 Farrow to Feeder swine and the application to land as specified in the
facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWWW). 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 systern 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 4
te
ev any vrol2ertX rights in either real or versonal proi)erty.

The waste from your animal facilitX_must be land aplLfi�td at � specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste
is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed
before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant
nutrients ran 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 ran utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials,
cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but
less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen.
Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed
under DWQ regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor
problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential
for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than
30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.

This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change
methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application
methods are not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content
for this type of facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could
allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to
be fle)dble so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Ume must
be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production.

This plan does not include commercial fertilizer. The farm should produce adequate plant
available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above.
The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements.
In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nftgen.
In interplanted fields ( i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermuda), forage must be removed
through grazing, hay, and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they
reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a
height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care
should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this vvill definately interfere
with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen
being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is
the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to
consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the
time-smati-grain-is-ptanted-in-the-fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is
recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of
about two inches before drilling for best results.

Prairiegrass Manaqement
Also called Rescue Grass and "Matua"
Introduction
Prairiegrass (also called Rescuegrass or
Matua) is a Bramus species. It was
introduced to the USA about 150 years ago
from South America and can be found in
pastures, hay meadows, field edges and
along roadsides in many areas. It is
officially classified as Bromus wildenowii,
Kunth, but historically it has also been
called Bromus catharticus, Vahi, and
Bromus. unioloides, H.B.K_ It is often
referred to as "Matua grass". Actually
Matua is a "named variety" just as
Kentucky 31 is a named variety of tall
fescue and "Coastal" is a named variety of
hybrid bermudagrass. The variety
Grasslands Matua was the official name
given to it by the New Zealand Research
Division of AgResearch in 1973.
In the 1950's there was a local selection of
rescuegrass, which is very slightly
different, named Chapel Hill; it was
especially subject to the disease called
powdery mildew, which is still a problem in
some years and environmental conditions.
Plant Characteristics
Prairiegrass is cool -season, erect, bunch
grass that grows up to 3 feet tall when
seed heads are present. Prairiegrass
canopies are generally very dense from fall
through early spring, but become more
" open" during the summer. It is a
perennial plant, but most plants perform
like an annual in the Southeast USA. The
seedhead is an open, drooping panicle
with flat spikelets, each containing 6 to 12
florets (seeds). It will produce seedheads
,duri.,ig-ea-.h-regFowth-pef-iod-of-t-hree-t-o--
eight weeks from April through October.
The leaf sheaths are rolled in an oval
shape and are covered with many fine
hairs, especially in the basal area. ' The
sheaths are not as "flattened" as
orchardgrass or dallisgrass but are much
more fl2ftened than fescue. The leaves are
flat or slightly folded and are 1/4 to 112 inch
wide and may be up to 18 inches long. . -
The leaves often have a characteristic "M"
or W mark near the outer 1/3 of the leaf.
Leaf margins are smooth. Prairiegrass
does not have auricles, but the ligule is
long (1/4 inch), membranous, and fringed.
In the vegetative stage it -can be
distinguished from orchardgrass and
dallisgrass because of its hairy basal
sheath and the M imprint near the leaf tip.
It is distinguished from tall fescue, annual
ryegrass, and smallgrains by its hairy basal
sheath and flattened leaf sheath.
Prairiegrass, unlike tall fescue and
orchardgrass, will always produce
seedheads after three to six weeks of
regrowth. Fescue and orchardgrass will not
have seedheads after the spring growth is
harvested.

Seasonal growth pattern ... The seasonal
growth pattern for prairiegrass is similar to
tall fescue and annual ryegrass (Figure 1)
with more than half of the annual yield
produced in the March through June
period. During December through
February it produces slightly more than tall
fescue and annual ryegrass. Summer '

more productive than tall fescue and
orchardgrass when moisture is available.

early heading stage of growth, prairiegrass
may range from 12 to 18 % crude protein

prairiegrass stems and seedheads tends to
decline more slowly than other cool season
grasses, and animals tend to prefer
prairiegrass seedheads over those of other
cool season grasses. -
The phosphorous (P) and potassium (K)
composition in tissue is similar to other
grasses, however when high rates are
being applied to land, all grasses will take
up high amounts of K. The K composition
is usually similar to N composition in most
forage grasses. According to reports from
Pennsylvania, prairiegrass may contain
lower levels of certain trace elements such
as magnesium and iodine than other cool
season grasses
When grown in mixtures with
bermudagrass, the composition of the
mixture will be dependent upon botanical
composition. In general, quality of
bermuda will be lower than the
prairiegrass.

Disease... Prairiegrass will often be
infected with powdery mildew, especially
during the spring. You can minimize the
impact of this fungal disease by
immediately mowing or grazing the
affected growth to a 3 to 4 inch stubble.

According to Rumball (the researcher who
developed Matua) ten mature seed heads/
yd 2 Will provide a reseeding rate of 50 to
.100 lbs/acre. Obtaining successful
volunteer stands will depend on seed
viability and control of competition from
other established grasses during the
September through October period.
Germinating seeds and developing
seedlings need to receive sunlight and
moisture to survive. If prairiegrass is being
grown with bermudagrass it is necessary to
graze or mow the bermuda to less than
three inches in September to minimize
competition. There is some advantage to
lightly disturbing the soil surface to
enhance soil:seed contact and to slow the
bermuda growth and evapotranspiration in
some years.
When prairiegrass seed -set is desired,
harvest or graze the crop after seeds have
fully formed and are brown and easy to
shatter as one walks through the field.
Usually it takes 40 to 50 days for new
growth to produce viable seeds, depending
on temperature and moisture. Seeds
produced in spring are usually larger and
more vigorous than those produced in late
summer, but seeds formed in the summer
should provide satisfactory stands. r
Fertilization
There are undocumented reports that
prairiegrass can utilize very high rates of N
(up to 800 lbs/acre), however the efficiency
of N recovery and yield responses indicate
much more moderate rates. When
considering a realistic yield expectation
(RYE) that can be expected in NC, it is
likely that such rates would result in
significant losses of N to the environment.
In controlled greenhouse trials in Texas,
'Matua' prairiegrass survived rates of N
greater than 1000 lbs/acre, however the N
recovery efficiencies were unacceptable
when annual N applications were above
250 to 400 lbs/acre. Nutrient uptake is
strongly related to yields and generally the
tissue will contain between 1.5 and 3% N,
depending on harvest frequency, yields
and nutrient application management.
Pra iriegrass, like- most other cool season
grasses, performs best when soil pH is
above 6.0 and P and K are medium or
higher.
Nitrogen application suggestions for
pure stands ...Prairiegrass responds to
high fertility, especially when moisture is
available. It should receive most of its N
during the February through May and
September through October months.

guidelines on timing and rates of N
application. The annual level of N will

mixtures of bermuda oversown with
Prairiegrass... Managing mixtures of
bermudagrass with oversown winter crops
such as prairiegrass, smallgrain, or
ryegrass can be a challenge. Table 2 and
the associated footnotes provide guidelines
for stands that are successfully established
during the autumn period. In the case of
prairiegrass and bermudagrass it is
expected that at least half of the winter
crop is from surviving plants from previous
year. Regardless of the level of
management, there will be situations
where the stands will not be sufficient to
produce at full capacity. The following
situations require an aitered N
management program.

Situation 2.
On sites where prairiegrass was not
successfully established in the autumn
plantings, but the site was successfully
replanted with smaligrains in February.
When praidegrass stands are poor in
January, and it is evident that replanting
is needed, it is best to plant another
crop (cereal rye and / or oats) in
February rather than to replant the
prairiegrass. Prairiegrass plantings in
February and March will not provide
much growth potential before the
bermuda starts to grow. However, the
smallgrains can provide some nutrient
uptake.

4. The amount of PAN applied during this period is dependent upon whether or not the
maximum amounts are used in the autumn and summer per�iods. PAN during this
period should not exceed 55-60% of annual PAN. Do not exceed 75 lbs PAN per
application or 75 lbs PAN within any 30-day period.
5. If it is necessary to apply PAN during this period do not exceed 30% of annual PAN
or about 60 lbs/acre. Do not exceed 30 lbs PAN/acre per 30 day period, especially
during June and July. Applying PAN during June and July is advisable only if soil
moisture is sufficient to allow reasonable plant growth. If little crop growth has
occurred since last application of PAN, do not apply additional PAN, during the
period
6. Prairiegrass (Matua) may use slightly more N in the summer than fescue and
orchardgrass.
7. In Piedmont this date range is about two weeks earlier.

Realistic Yield Expectation
2. Apply 50 to 80 lbs PAN/acre in the September through November period. Do not
exceed 30 lbs in November and preferably in early November. Consider splitting
PAN if >60 lbs to be applied in the September through November period.
On sites where prairiegrass in the mixture is more than one year of age, and it
makes up more than 50% of the soil cover in October, one could increase the fall
PAN by 15%. However, this should ndt increase the annual PAN level.
I
Strive not to apply PAN during the December through January period. However if
the allowable PAN for September through November was not applied and less than
30 lbs PAN was applied in early NoveTber, one could consider applying up to 20 lbs
PAN/acre during December if the plarits are nutrient deficient. This assumes
satisfactory stand of actively growing winter crop and satisfactory soil moisture
conditions.
3. Do not exceed 60 lbs PAN in February, preferably not more than 30 lbs in early
February.
4. Do not exceed 125 lbs PAN or about 40% of annual PAN in the February through
April period.
5. In the May through August period apply a minimum of 50 lbs PAN/acre but not more
than 55 to 60% of annual PAN. The amount applied during this period will depend
on whether or not the maximums were applied previous periods.
6. Do not exceed 75 lbs PAN/acre in any 30 day period during the May through August
period.

a 10 to 50% reduction of the bermuda

most likely result in almost complete

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

available nitrogen to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermuda grass hayland at the
rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 33 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge
to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 80 acres of land. Please note that these
are only estimates of the PAN produced and the land required to utilize that PAN. Actual values
may only be determined by sampling the sludge for plant available nitrogen content prior to application
Actual utilization rates will vary with soil type, crop, and realistic yield expectations for the specific
application fields designated for sludge application at time of removal.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION:
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation
such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil
structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids, The application amount should not
exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the
plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the
producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly
irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
*This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount .
of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations, the application
amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions.
Your facility is designed for >180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of the
waste stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of
freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment
is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to apply
the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in
determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste.

Rick Shiver
Water Quality Regional Supervisor
N.C. Dept. of Environment and Natural Resources
127 North Cardinal Drive
Wilmington, NC 29405
Dear Mr. Shiver,
This letter is to notify DWQ of the discharge that occurred at BOC # 12 on Monday, January 15,
2001 around 4:30 AM.
This discharge occurred after a feed spill inside the nursery building caused a blockage in the
discharge line from the building to the lagoon. As the flush tank continued to flush, the flush
water backed up in the building until it started running out the door. The farm manager arrived at
the farm around 4.00 AM and noticed the problem around 4:30 AM. She immediately shut off
the recycle pump that supplies water to the flush tank and capped a nearby storin water drain
outside the building. Most of the water was contained in the building and outside the building at
the drain inlet, however some water was discharged through the drain before it could be capped.
Based on the amount contained in the building, the number of flushes that occurred and the
amount contained at the drain inlet, it is estimated that approximately 700-800 gallons of
wastewater actually escaped through the drain. The drain outlet empties near the edge of the field
and from this point the water flowed into a wooded area and finally into a small intertnittent
ditch that leads to Maxwell Creek. Brown's of Carolina staff were able to stop the flow in the
ditch before it left the farm by placing earthen dams in the ditch. Once the wastewater was
contained, pumps were used to pump the wastewater and the existing freshwater out of the ditch
and into the lagoon. As the water was pumped out of the ditch, freshwater from upstream was
allowed to flow through the ditch to flush any remaining wastewater out and this was pumped to
the lagoon as well. This flush and pump method was done several times until the remaining
water in the ditch appeared clear. DWQ was notified Monday afternoon, and Stonewall Mathis
from the Wilmington Regional Office called and asked about the situation on Tuesday morning,
January 16, 2001. The recovery of this wastewater was difficult and time consuming, as the
wastewater mixed with the existing freshwater in the ditch. The dams were removed from the
ditch around 5:00 PM Monday.
To ensure that this problem does not recur, a timer has been installed on the recycle pump to
allow pumping to the flush tanks only from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM. This will ensure that most of
the flushing occurs while someone is on site and that only one or two flushes could occur after
BROWN'S OF CAROLINA, INC.
785HWY24EAST - P.0,BOX487 - WARSAW, N.C. 28398 - PHONE [phone]

the farm staff has left. The buildings can contain several flushes before any water would run out
of them.
It is unfortunate that this incident occurred; however everything possible to contain and recover
the wastewater was done, thus minimizing any potential impact to the environment. With this in
mind, much consideration is warranted prior to the issuance of a Notice.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter. If you have any questions regarding this matter,
please call me at [phone] ext. 238.

somehow dumped feed into the house. The spilled feed clogged the drainage line from the house
to the lagoon. Waste then flowed out of the house. Mr. Weston indicated that most of the spilled
waste was contained around the area of the houses. Mr. Weston indicated that an estimated 800
gallons of waste had made its way into a nearby branch. Mr. Weston said that they were able to
head the waste off and darn the branch. They then pumped the branch, flushed, and repumped
several times to reclaim the waste.

Facility Number: 3.1 -401

Dear Mr. Simmons:,
This is to notify -Brown's of Carolina, Inc. of a violation of North Carolina General
Statute 143-215. 1.
On January 15, 2001, Mr. Kevin Weston of Brown's of Carolina, Inc. reported that earlier
that same morning animal waste had discharged from the referenced facility into an unnamed
tributary of Maxwell Creek. Maxwell Creek is class C Swamp waters of the State in the Cape
Fear River B6sin. This is a violation of N.C.G.S. 143-215.1 which requires that no person shall
make an outlet into the waters of the State without having obtained and abided by the appropriate
permit.
I am in receipt of Mr. Weston's January 19, 2001 letter in which he outlines the
mitigation efforts and corrective actions which have been taken to address the noted violation.
Be advised that the Division of Water Quality may take further action in these matters
including assessment of civil penalties, injunctive relief, and permit revocation.

Dear Mr. Shiver,
This letter is to notify DWQ of the discharge that occurred at BOC # 12 on Monday, January 15,
2001 around 4:3 0 AM.
This discharge occurred after a feed spill inside the nursery building caused a blockage in the
discharge line from the building to the lagoon. As the flush tardc continued to flush, the flush
water'backed up in the building until it started running out the door, The farm manager arrived at
the farm around 4:00 AM and noticed the problem around 4-30 AK She immediately shut off
the recycle pump that supplies water to the flush tank and capped a nearby storm water drain
outside the building. Most of the water was contained in the building and outside the building at
the drain inlet, however some water was discharged through the drain before it could be capped.
Based on the amount contained in the building, the number of flushes that occurred and the
amount contained at the drain inlet, it is estimated that approximately 700-800 gallons of
wastewater actually escaped through the drain. The drain outlet empties near the edge of the field
and from this point the water flowed into a wooded area and finally into a small intermittent
ditch that leads to Maxwell Creek. Brown's of Carolina staff were able to stop the flow in the
ditch before it left the farm by placing earthen darns in the ditch, Once the wastewater was
contained, pumps were used to pump the wastewater and the existing freshwater out of the ditch
and into the lagoon. As the water was pumped out of the ditch, freshwater from upstream was
allowed to flow through the ditch to flush any remaining wastewater out and this was pumped to
the lagoon as well. This flush and pump method was done several times until the remaining
water in the ditch appeared clear. DWQ was notified Monday afternoon, and Stonewall Mathis
ftom the Wilmington Regional Office called and asked about the situation on Tuesday morning,
January 16, 2001. The recovery of this wastewater was difficult and time consuming, as the
wastewater mixed with the existing freshwater in the ditch. The dams were removed from the
ditch around 5 - 00 PM Monday.
To ensure that this problem does not recur, a timer has been installed on the recycle pump to
allow pumping to the flush tanks only from 6-.00 AM to 6:00 PM. This will ensure that most of
the flushing occurs while someone is on site and that only one or two flushes could occur Aer

the farm staff has left. The buildings can contain several flushes before anY water would run out
of them.
It is unfortunate that this incident occurred, however everything possible to contain and recover
the wastewater was done, thus minimizing any potential impact to the environment. With this in
mind, much consideration is warranted prior to the issuance of a Notice.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter. If you have any questions regarding this matter,

Dear Andrew,
This letter is in response to the Notice of Deficiency received for Brown% of Carolina, Inc.
Farm 12. As discussed, the dead pigs were removed Miniediately. This presence of dead pigs in
the lagoon is not condoned by Brown's of Carolina- The farm snanager was consulted on this
problem and the situadon was attributed to abortions which occurred unknovAngly in the
gestation building. These buildings have slotted concrete floors and are not the buildings where
farrowing sows are housed. Abortions will occur at times in the gestation building where the
dead pigs can fall through the slats and be carried to the lagoon. This is a problem which will be
handled with increasing awareness and more thorou-gh and i-OLItille inspections of the lagoon and
gestating sows.
The Notice of Deficiency also commented on improper disposal of medical waste. This is
being addressed company wide through a designated "Lagoon Clean-U0 Week". Farm employees
who work inside the units and contribute to lagoon trash will be required to clean the lagoons,
TWsjob will hopefully heighten the awareness of the employees and will prevent excessive trash
build-up in the lagoons.
if you have any fUrther questions, pl"se call we itt (9 10) 296-1800.

Dear Mr. Shiver,
This letter is in response to the Notice of Violation letter for BOC #12 dated September 11, 2000.
The following will serve as both a Plan of Action and an explanation for the noted violations.
On August 23, 2000 Mr. Mathis performed an inspection at the above -mentioned farm. At that
time, it was noted that there were several PAN over applications that occurred on the 1999 bermuda crop
and the 1999-2000 Eye crop. Thew overages were due to Brown's of Carolina staff managing the excessive
amounts of water received from the hurricanes and the extremely wet winter that followed in the most
environmentally sound manner possible, That is, irrigation events were made on the "highest" and
"driest" appfication sites to avoid runoff or discharges.
To aid in preventing over applications in the future, an irrigation schedule is being produced
weekly which prioritizes the fields or pulls that should ivc irrigation. This gives the 01C at the ficility
another tool to use in making decisions regarding irrigation.
Brown's of Carolina recognizes that the over applications are noncompliant with the permit
however, BOC staff has continued to manage the excess water from nature without failure of the structure,
runoff or discharge. Since no measurable harm to the environment has occurred, no further enforcement
action should be pursued.
If you have any questions or need additional information concerning this matter, please do not
hesitate to call me at [phone] ext. 238.

Dear Rick Shiver:
BROWKS
OF CAROUNA
RECEIVED
JUN 2 6 2000
BY:
June 16, 2000
The purpose of this letter is to notify DWQ regarding specific PAN
application rates associated with the unprecedented rainfall events of last
summer and early fall. We now have completed a review of this issue by
-associated land a plication -records -for �-all
pxamining p
-the. � CAMP s =and
company owned farms. Based on that review, no land application records
have been changed, but we have corrected all of our computer printouts to
reflect actual pounds of PAN as applied, without any "rollover" into
subsecfaent crop periods. Attached is a list of all hydrants on our company
owned farms that operate within the Wilmington Regional Office.
This means that our records accurately show a number of instances
where land application practices were carried out in excess of specified
PAN rates in order to preserve lagoon integrity and properly manage water
levels that occurred as a result of multiple rainfall events in excess of
the regulatory 25-year, 24-hour storm event. In carrying out land
application practices last fall and winter, and on into the spring of this
year, all practicable measures were taken to minimize and prevent over -
application of PAN, and to prevent surface water runoff. Our consistent
policy was to use the "highest and driest" fields to draw down high lagoon
levels that were caused by the unprecedented string of rains we had in
excess of the 25-year, 24-hour storm level.
Company farm lagoon levels before these storms generally were in very
good shape, thus documenting good farm management and winter season
preparedness. In addition to initial land application practices designed
to protect lagoon integrity, much of the excess water volumes that resulted
from these multiple storms in excess of the 25-year, 24-hour storm level
remained in lagoons throughout the winter of 1999 and into the spring of
this year. We ask that DWQ take these factors into account and determine
that, where farms properly had prepared last summer, that no enforcement
action be taken for excess PAN applications made as a result of these
storms.
Should you have any questions or desire to meet to discuss the
information in this letter, please give me a call.

This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRR 1, IRR2, DRY 1, DRY2, DRY3, SLURI, SLUR2,
SLDI, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or

Dear Brown's of Carolina, Inc.:
The Division of Water Quality modified the Swine Waste Operation General Permit originally issued to
this facility on July 28, 1997. In accordance with the issuance of the revised General Permit, we are
forwarding this Certificate of Coverage (COC) to Brown's of Carolina, Inc., authorizing the operation of
the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with
General Permit AWG100000. This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but
not limited to, the management of animal waste from the Farm #12, located in Duplin County, with an
animal capacity of no greater than 2000 Farrow to Feeder and the application to land as specified in the
Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP).
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until April 30, 2003, and shall hereby void
COC No AWS310401 dated July 28, 1997. The COC shall hereby incorporate by reference any specific
conditions of the previous COC issued to this facility. The purpose of this COC is to allow coverage
under the revised General Permit. Please review the revised General Permit (enclosed) and pay
particular attention to Condition 11. 10 regarding tree removal from lagoon embankments, Condition 111. 1
regarding inspection frequency of the waste treatment, storage and collection system and Condition 111-6
regarding notification requirements for system failures, spills and emergencies. 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, with no discharge of wastes to
surface waters. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and
operational information must be established for this farm. Any increase in waste production greater than
the certified design capacity or increase in number of stocked animals above the number authorized by
this COC will require a modification to the CAWMP and this COC and shall be completed prior to
actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the
General Permit or the CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance
with NCGS 143-215.6A through 143-215.6C including civil penalties, criminal penalties, and injunctive

Subject: NOTICE OF DEFICIENCY
Farm #12
Facility Number: 31-401
Duplin County
On May 14, 1997, staff from the Wilmington Office of the Division of Water Quality inspected
your animal operation and the lagoon(s) serving this operation. At the time of inspection, six dead piglets
were observed in the lagoon. As was discussed, these dead animals should be removed and disposed of
according to NCDA guidelines. Actions- should also be taken to ensure this situation does not occur again
In addition, a significant quantity of medical waste was observed in the lagoon which needs to be removed.
To remain a deemed permitted facility, all corrective actions must be made within fourteen (14)
days. Failure to do so may result in the facility losing it's deemed permitted status, requiring it to obtain
an individual non discharge permit for the facility.
Please be aware it is a violation of North Carolina General Statutes to discharge wastewater to
the surface waters of the State without a permit. The Division of Environmental Management has the
authority to levy a civil penalty of not more than $10,000 per day per violation.

Dear Andrew,
'FIZ-FE V C E I V E_ U
JUN 0 5 1997
IBY:
This letter is in response to the Notice of Deficiency received for Brown's of Carolina, Inc.
Farm 12. As discussed, the dead pigs were removed immediately. This presence of dead pigs in
the lagoon is not condoned by Brown's of Carolina. The farni manager was consulted on this
problem and the situation was attributed to abortions which occurred unknowingly in the
gestation building. These buildings have slotted concrete floors and are not the buildings where
farrowing sows are housed. Abortions will occur at times in the uestation building where the,
In
dead pigs can fall through the slats and be carried to the lagoon. This is a problem which will be
handled with increasing awareness and more thorOUgli and I'Mitine inspections of the lagoon and
gestating sows.
The Notice of Deficiency also commented on improper disposal of medical waste. This is
being addressed company wide through a designated "Lagoon Clean -Up Week". Farm employees
who work inside the units and contribute to lagoon trash will be required to clean the lagoons.
This job will hopefully heighten the awareness of the ernployces and will prevent excessive trash
build-up in the lagoons.
If you have any further questions, please call nie at (9 10) 296- 1900,

additional ac-res for buffers and irrigadoa inefficieacy, it may be nec-tssary for the producer to operate half sprinUers, on

Your animal waste management facility has been designed for a
given storage capacity. When the waste reaches the designed
level, it must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
po3lution of surface and/or ground water. 1he plant nutrivnts:
in the animal waote should be used to reduce the amount of
commercial fertilizer required for the cropo on the fields
where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan
uoen nitrogen an the hmiting nutrient. Mate should be
analyzed before each application cycle and annual soil tent ---
pro encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for
realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors arc important in implementing your waste
utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of
!he waste and to ensure that it is applied in an
environmentally safe mEnner. Alwayv apply waste based on the
nvedg of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the
waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
5oil typeo arc important as they have different infiltration
rates and leaching potential. Waste shall not be applied to
land eroding at greater than 5 ton, per acre per year. Do not
apply w&ste on saturated soils or on land when the surface is
frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to
surface waters. Wind conditions shou14 also be considered to
avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize thv value
of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential
for pollution, the waote should be applicd to a growing wrop or
not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste
or dinking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor prob3ems.
The acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical
nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage
requirements may be more or less based on the waste analysi!:-;
report from your waste management facility.
The design of your waste management facility is based on the

PLAN SPECIFICATIONS
I . Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by r=off, drift. nianniade conveyances, direct application, or
direct discharge during operatioa 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 o%%,ti,; or has a notarized am -cement 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, helshe shall provide a copy of a notarized agreement with a landovmerwho is within a reasonable
i i
prox=ty, 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 P [an when diere is a change in the operai Eon, increase in the
i
number of animals, method of utilizatiori, or available land.
3. Animal wastm shall be applied to m=t, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs, for realistic crop yields based on soil type,
available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of iiianacenient, unless there are regulations that
C -
restrict the rate of apptication for other nutrients. Actual yields 1110V be Ll.s,:d in lieu uf realistic yield tables at the
discretion of the planner.
4. Animal waste shall be applied on land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that
is eroding at more than 3 tons but less than 10 tons per acrea per year providing graz" filter strips are installed where
runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 3 93 -Filter Strip,,)
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. WISZC 111OLLId not be applied when
there is danger of drift L-cm the irrigation field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied an acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled

All statements checked apply to this certificat.ion:
V1 Tlie installed irrigation system has not been evaluated concerning nozzle size, spray pattern, spacing, . pump size, pipe size,
etc- It is the responsibility of the producer to operate the system with the proper cornponents and to supply the required
mairite=oe to assure that no =off occurs. The producer is encoux-aged to have an irrigation specialist, possibly the dealer
where the system was purchased, prepare an operation and maintenance plan for the irrigation system so that the product
knows how to operate the equipment to mee the nori-discharge requirements-
V/ The wastta maringement plan for this operation is based upon yields higher than what is now recommended by NRCS;
however, these yields are obtain, le under high levels of managemerrL This increase in projected yields is nwessary since
the NRCS plan prepared for this operation at the time of construction was based upon these higher yields and the produc4!r
followed NRCS guidelines when building this operation.
Be,cause of limited acres for land application, and because the origi� NRCS wast,-- utilization plan did not require
additional acres for buffers and irrigation inefficiency, it may be nec�y for the producer to operate half sprinklers, on
solid set systems, along field edges and ditches. Also for travelin- irrigation systems, a pull directly adjacent to the ditch with
only a 180 degree pumping radius may be needed to irTilcyate the entire field. Extreme caution should be exercised when
applying waste close to ditches and we-daads to avoid any discharge.

CERTUICATION FOR EXISTING FEEDLOTS
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CERTIFICATION OF APPROVED ANIMAL WASTE MANAGEMENT PLANS FOR E)GSTING ANIMAL
WASTE MANAGEMENT SY=MS SERVING FEEDLOTS
REQUUZEMENTSIPURPOSE
In order to be deemed permitted by the Division of Environmental Management (DEM), the owner of any existin—nimg] waste
mana,gemeat syst-em constructed and operational before January 1, 1994 w�dch is designed to serve greater than or equal to the animal
populatious listed below is required to submit a signed certification form to DEM before January 1, 1-998. Pasture operations are exempt
from the requirement to be certified.
100 head of cattle
75 homes
250 swine
1,000 sheep
30,000 birds with a liquid waste system
The certification must be signed by the owner of the feedlot (and- mA ager if different from the owner) aad by any technical. spmialist
designated by the Soil and Water Conseervation. Commission purw-tant to 15A NCAC 6F .0001-.0005- The technical specialist must verify
that all applicable operation and maintenance standards and specifications can be met. Existing systems are not required to =ftt design
azd construction standards and specifications.
Although the acbml number of animals oa the facility mayvaxy from time to time, the design capacity of the waste handLing system should
be used to determine if a fann is subloct to the certification requirement. For example, if the waste system for a feedlot is designed to
handle 300 hogs but the average population will be 200 hogs, then the waste mamagement sysmai requires a certification.
Z� 4P 0
This certification is required by regulations governing animal waste management systems adopted by the Environmental Management
Commission (E?YfC) on December 10, 1992 (Title 15A NCAC 2H .0217).

Dear Farm Owner:
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study
Commission on Agricultural Waste, enacted by the 1996 North Carolina General Assembly,
requires a certified operator for each animal waste management system that serves 250 or more
swine by January 1, 1997. The owner of each animal waste management system must submit a
designation form to the Technical Assistance and Certification Group which designates an
Operator in Charge and is countersigned by the certified operator. The enclosed form must be
submitted by January 1, 1997 for all facilities in operation as of that date. Failure to designate a
certified operator for your animal waste management system is a violation of 15A NCAC 2H
.0224 and may result in the assessment of a civil penalty.
If you have questions concerning operator training or examinations for certification, please
contact your local North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service agent or our office -
Examinations have been offered on an on -going basis in many counties throughout the state for
the past several months and will continue to be offered through December 31, 1996.
Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions concerning this requirement please
call Beth Buffington or Barry Huneycutt of our staff at gign33-0026.
