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

Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 2 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, helshe 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 utilizaUon, or available land. 3 Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for reallsflc crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions. and level of management unless there are regulaflons 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 wvVeather 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 offs1te or to surface waters and In a method Which does not cause drift from the site during application.

UU 0 Number of Animals: L� (D UJ X (Desip Capacity) W. 1 7�1 The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater. '1he plant nutrients in the vinimal 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 Ihnitin 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 utilintion plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an envirommentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop canutilize. Soil types are important as they have different infifftation rates, leaching potenfals, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or �L_�&g will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements shoudd be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2R 0217 adopted by the Environmental Management C omrr�ission. �t i: �Ig 11 1 LIZ -AM A Mount 9L Waste Produged Per Year(gallons.. t�, tons, etc.) lj ;4;.� -5 aL4-0 animals X, !(., waste/animal/year (amt.) waste/year.

PI -I 1 4 M REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runof� drift, mamn de conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches suffice 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 himiher 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 Udlimtion Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical 6ta, climatic conditions, and level of mannement., unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. I 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 iusalled. where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strip). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disidag 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 offshe 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.

Owl- r-4 Lr Lr . . . . . . 41 ztd - 4e System Calibration Z Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operat' :V conditions with relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application r-2 .7, change over time as equipment gets older and components wear. In particu") pump wear tends to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued us4u nozzle wear results in an increase in the nozzle opening which will increase tu discharge rate while decreasing the wetted diameter. You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the design will after 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 nozzie. Clogging of nozzles can result in pressure increase. Plugged intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure. Operating below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application uniformity. For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to ensure proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at several locations in the application area. Any number of containers can be used to collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because they already have a graduated scale from which to read the application amount without having to perform additional calculations. However, pens, 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 applicat ' 'ion. 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 Animal Waste Management Systems Manual OPERATION & AlAINTENANCE PLAN Proper lagoon liquid management should be a year-round priority. It is especially important to rnanage 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 mean that at the first -signs of plant growth in the later winter/early spring, irrigation a rding- to a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the land is dry enough to receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet periods. In the late summer/early fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the low marker (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage. Every effort should be made to maintain the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as -long as the weather and w= utilization plan will aliow it. Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capaci ty before starting to irrigate does not leave room for storing ex=s 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 arnount of fertili= 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 I=t 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 inspecdons of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of the lagoon and at least monthly.apd after major rainfall and storm events. Items to be checked should include, as a munmum, the following: Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes —look foi- L separation of joints 2. cracks or breaks 3. accumulation of salts or minerals 4. overall condition of pipes Lagoon surface —look for: I . undesirable vegetative growth 2. floating or lodged debris Embanionent—look for: 1. settlement, cracking, or 'jug" holes 0 2. side slope smbility—slumps or bulges 3. wet or damp areas on the back slope 4. erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a =ult 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 darn. 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 wastp- lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary -fix if there is a th=t of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless recommended by an appropriate technical expert. Transfer Pumps —check for proper operation of: I . recycling pumps 2. irrigation pumps Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or grinding noise, or a large amount of vibration, may indicate that the pump is in need or repair or replacemenL NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and op=ted,firquently enough so that yoll 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 ftffl lagoon is not,the time to think about switching, repairing , or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is Rill, your neighbor's lagoon is AW 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: I . adequate vegetation 2. diversion capacity 3. ridge berm height ld=tificd Problems should be czn=md promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system during or immediately following a heavy rain. If twJinical 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 rainf� amount (You must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). KnDwing this should heir in planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises exc=ively, you may have an inflow problem from a surface water diversion or them may be seepage into the lagoori from the surrounding land. 0 Lagoon Operation ftartnp: 1. Immediately aft= construction establish a complete sod cover on ba= sQU surfaces to avoid erosion. 2. FM new lagoon design M=tment volume at least half full of water before waste loading begins, Mking cam 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 0 filling or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of the lining'. 4.- Whm possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maxij� bacterial establishmezit (due to warmer weather). 5. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy worldng 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 agricultaral lime at the rate of I pound peT 1000 cubic feet of lagoon liquid volume until the pH rl= above 7.0. Optimum lagoon Urraid pH is between 7.5 and 8.0. 7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and ex=sive odor signals inadequate biological activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is recammended if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm season.

Mni=e feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This wiUreduce the amount of solids entering the Lagoon Maintain lagoon liquid level between the pernianent storage level and the full temporary storage level. Place visible mark= or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the minimum liquid level and the maximum liquid, lever (Figure 2-1). Start irriga4g at the earliest possible date in the spring based on nutrient requirements and soil moistitre so that -temporary storage will be maximized for the summer thunder=rrn season. Shniluly, irrigam in the late summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon storage for the winter. The lagoon liquid level should never be closer d= I foot to the lowest point of the dam or embanlanent. Do not pump the lagoon liquid level lower that the permanent storage level unless you are removing sludge. Locate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid surface and as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible. Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-stenrrned forage orvegetation, molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign matexials into the IVo=. 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 an lagoon dam or embankment Remove - siudge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity, is full or before it M 50 percent of the pe=nanent storage volume. If animal production is to be tmminated, the owner is responsible for - obtaining and implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility of a- 0 pollutant discharge. Sludge Memoval: Rate. of lagoon sludge b uild up can be reduced by: proper lagoon sinng, mechanical solids separation of flushed waste, gravity settling of flushed wasm solids in an appropriately designed basin, or minimizing feed w=age and spillage. Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will: have more nutrients, have more odor, and require more land to properly use the nutrients. Removal. techniques: Hire a custom applicator. Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chappet-agitator impeller pump through large -bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby crqpland� 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 fomgeland; and soil incorporate. Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irTigation onto nearby- cropland or forageland; dredge sludge from lagoon with dragline or sludge barge; berm an area beside laiagoon to receive the sludge so that licuids can dmin back into lagoon; allow sludge to dewater; haul and spread with manure spreader onto cropland or foraggeland; and soil incorpomm. Regardless of the meth�od, 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- ber lirni�ed 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 =rnoving sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage. Close attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure diat the lagoon liner remains intacL If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should stop the acti'viry immediately and not resume until you are mire that the sludge can be rerrioved without liner injury. If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as possible. Sludge removed ftm the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and.heavy metal content than liquid. Bec:ause 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 wa=, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value. The application of sludge wil I increase the amount of odor at the waste application site - Extra prccatition should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which could inr-= e the concern of neighbors. Pamible Cames of Lagoon Failure Lagoon failures -result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure. Types of bilums include leakage through the battom or sides, ovmtopping, and breach of the darn. Amuming proper design and cowtruction, the owner has the responsibility for ensuring === safety. lt=s which may lead to lagoon failures include: Modification of the lagoon structure —an example is the placement of a. pip, - in the dam without proper design and construction.

DESIGNED BY: APPROVED BY: DATE: DATE: NOTE: SEE ATTACHED WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN I- I 0 $ 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 8) before land application. 3. Begin pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches eleva- tion 44.2 as marked by permanent markers. Stop pump -out when the fluid level reaches elevation 42.2 or before fluid depth is less than 6 feet deep (this prevents the loss of favorable bacteria) - 4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.4 inch per hour. 5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed annually, Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain a vigorous stand. 6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and establish In vegetation. 7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable outlets. 8. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States. The Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ- mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law. SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS ---------------------------------------------------------- clearing: All trees and brUBh shall be removed from the construction area before any excavating or fill is started. stumps will be removed within the area of the foundation of the embankment and fill areas and all excavated areas. All stumps and roots exceeding one (1) inch in diameter shall be removed to a minimum depth of one (1) foot. Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The foundation area shall be loosened thoroughly before placement of, embankment material. Cut-off Trench: --------------- A cut-off trench (when specified) shall be installed as shown in the plans. Construction: Construction of excavated and earthfill areas shall be performed to the neat lines and grades as planned. Deviations from this will reVire prior approval of the SCS. Earthfill shall not be placed in standing water and reasonable compaction of the fills shall be performed by the construction equipment or sheeps-foot roller during placement. The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed using the more impervious materials. Construction of fill heights shall include ten (10) percent for settlement. To protect against seepage, when areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will need to be excavated a minimum of one (1) foot below grade and backfilled and compacted with a suitable material (ie-CL,SC,CH). Refer to the soils investigation information in the plans for special considerations. Precautions should be taken during construction to prevent excessive erosion and sedimentation. Vegetation: ----------- All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construction.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under OEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 1 5A NCAC 21-1.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Narrative of operation: Grower uses a small gun sorld set irrigation system for irrigation. Page 4 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 2 There must be documentation In the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who Is within a reasonable proximIty, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3 Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less then 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 panding should occur In order to control odor or flies. 8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface Is frozen. Page 5 0 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 9 Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop Is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10 Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates an 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 form 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.
