Dear Dempsey Noble:
On April 28, 2003, the North Carolina General Assembly ratified Senate Bill 733 which directs the
Division of Water Quality (Division) to extend the expiration.date of the Swine Waste Operation General
Permit AWGIOOOOO. Therefore, the General Permit has been re -issued by the Division to extend the
expiration date to October 1, 2004. During the period of this extension the Division will be working with
all interested parties on the development of a new version of the Non -Discharge General Permit.
In accordance with your application received on January 28, 2003 and in accordance.with the directive of
Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Dempsey
Noble, 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 AWS310474 which expired on April 30, 2003.
This approval shafl consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the D & J Swine #2, located in Duplin County, with an animal capacity of no
greater than an annual average of 600 Feeder to Finish swine and the application to land as specified in
the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or
Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary,
they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a
rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until October 1, 2004. Pursuant to this COC, you
are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as
specified ' in the General Permit, the facility's CAWNT, 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 Perrnittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property. A

APPLICATION'METHOD: Irrigation
I
The was�e from yo'ur 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 t.o-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 cap�cities.
3. Normally.waste shall be applied to. land eroding at less than
5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied.to land
eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than
10 tons per acre per year providing that -adequate filter
strips�are established,
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining,
or when the surface is -frozen. Either of.these conditions
may result'in ' runoff to surface waters which is not allowed
under DWQ regulations.
Page 1

ANIMAL', WASTE., UTILI Z
,TI0W­PLAN
5. wind conditions should also be co'ns'idered'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 t6-planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy.
Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and
reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If
you choose to change.methods in the future,,you need to revise this
plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the
same.
The estimated acres needed to 'apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage
requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your
waste management facility.. In some cases you.may want to have plant
analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be appli ' ed.
Provisions shall be made -for the area receiving waste to be flexible
so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type.
Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific
crop production.
-This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements
for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission.
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
600 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 1140 tons
AMOUNT OV PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
600 hogs x 4.6 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 2760 lbs. PAN/year
Applying.the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time
and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on
the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

hay and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed
when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle
should be-remov6d when plants are grazed to a height of four
inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed
for hay or silage,- care should be exercised not to let small
grain to reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading' may result if small -grain gets too
high and this will definitely interfere' with stand of
bermudagrass.- This loss of stand will result in'reduced

See attached map showing the fields to be used,for the utilization of
animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION:.
The waste'utilization-plan must contain provisions for periodic land
application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient
rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application
of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce
approximately 222 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years-, you will have approximately 1110
pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid .
bermudagrass hayland-at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acr'e,-you
will need 3.7 acres of lAnd.- If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 8.88 acrps
of land., Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending -on your
sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic'yields, and application -
methods.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the
soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This
rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil
texture, water droplet size,'and organic solids. ' The application amount
should not exceed the available water holding capacity,of.the soil at the
time of -irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed
the nitrogen needs of the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, .
it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure
that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres
shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply'the recommended rates and

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'so'il
conditions.
Your facility is designed for 180.00 days of temporary storage and the
temporary storage must be removed on the average of"once every 6.60
months. In no instance should the volume of the waste be stored in
your -structure be Within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or,one foot
of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm.
It is thexesponsibility of the producer and waste applicator to
ensure that the spreader equipment is operated propdrly to apply the
correct rates to the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply
the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in.the tables may.
make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis
report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and
the proper application rate prior to applying the waste.
NARRATIVE OF OPERATION
tis plan is based on a two year cropping rotation of corn/wheat/soybeans with a
)ver crop to be added after soybean's. The PAN has been doubled to account for

1(we) verify that all the above information is correct and will be updated upon changing. I (we) understand the operation and maintenance
procedures established in the approved animal waste management plan for the farm named above and will implement these procedures. I (we)
know that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste treatment and storage system or construction of new facilities will require a
new certification to be submitted to the Division of Environmental Management before the new animals are stocked. I (we) understand that there
must be no discharge of animal waste from the storage or application system to surface waters of the state either directly through a man-made
conveyance or from a storm event less severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm and there must not be run-off from the application of animal
waste. I (we) understand that run-off of pollutants from lounging and heavy use areas must be minimized using technical standards developed by
the Natural Resources Conservation Service. The approved plan will be filed at the farm and at the office of the local Soil and Water
Conservation District. I (we) know that modification must be approved by a technical specialist and submitted to the Soil and Water Conservation
District prior to implementation. A change in land ownership requires written notification to DEM or a new certification (if the approved plan is
changed) within 60 days of a title transfer.'

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

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN
Proper lagoon liquid management should be a year-round priority. It is especially
important to manage levels so that you do not have problems during "tended rainy and
wet periods.
Maximum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the
receiving crop is dormant (such as winter -time for bermudagrass) or when there are
extended rainy spells such as the thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means
that at the first signs of plant growth in the later winter/early springi irrigation according to
a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the land is dry enough to
receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet
periods. In the late summer/early fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the low
marker (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storaoe. Every effort should be made to
maintain the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as long as the weather and waste
utilization plan will allow it.
Waitina, until the lacoon has reached its maximum stora-e capacity before starting to
V C, t� 0
irri-ate does not leave room for storing excess water during extended wet periods.
C, t> 0
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 lacoon involves the following:
C
Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam.
Fescue or common bermudagrass are the most common vegetative
covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year, if needed, to
maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fertilizer applied should be
based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not practical to obtain
a soils test each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas
should be fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or -
equivalent.
Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may be
done by mowin', sprayin orazing, chopping, or a combination of
these practices. This should be done at least once a year and
possibly twice in years that weather conditions are favorable for
heavy vegetative growth,
0
NOTE: If vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to enter
the lauoon water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the la-oon that are treating
C,
the waste.
lAaintenance inspections of the entire la-oon should be made durinc, the initial filling of
the lagoon and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. Items to be
I
checked should include, as a minimum, the following:
Z�
Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes --- look for-.
1. separation of joints
2. cracks or breaks
3. accumulation of salts or minerals
4. overall condition of pipes

Lagoon surface --- look for:
1 . undesirable vegetative growth
2. floating or lodged debris
Embankm en t-- -look for:
1 . settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes
2. side slope stability --- slumps or bulges
3. wet or damp areas on the back slope
4. erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result of wave action
5. rodent damage
&7
Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong
winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon dam.
A good stand of veaetation 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 desicrn and
construction of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary fix if there is a threat
of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the
technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious
undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless
recommended by an appropriate technical expert.
Transfer Pumps --- check for proper operation of:
I . recycling pumps
2. irrigation pumps
Check for leaks, loose Fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or grinding
z:1 0
noise, or a large amount of vibration, may indicate that the pump is in need or repair or
replacement,
NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that you
are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform your pumping
system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This will allow some
J
safety time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly full lagoon is not the time
to think about switching, repairing , or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is full,
r> C> 0
your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an inventor of spare
t' Z� y
parts or pumps.
Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface
drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainaae, gutter outlets,
`7 C�
and par�ina lot runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste
0. tD
treatment or storage structures. The only water that should be
coming from your lacoon is that which comes from your flushincy
(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. ridae berm heicht
t�- 0

Identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system
during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to
determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts.
You should record the level of the lagoon just -prior to when rain is predicted, and then
record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This will
give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount
(you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in
planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may
have an inflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the
lagoon from the surrounding land.

Lagoon Operation
Startup:
Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil
surfaces to avoid erosion.
2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before
C. 4;�
waste loadino, be -ins, takinc, care not to erode lining or bank slopes.
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
C�
filling or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of
the lining.
4. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize
0 0
bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather).
It is recommended that a new la000n be seeded with sludge from a healthy
workina swine laaoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full lagoon
0 0 Z�
liquid volume. This seedinc, 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
0
7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of I pound per 1000 cubic feet of
ZD
]agoon liquid volume until the PH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid
1.� 6
PH is bet),veen 7.5 and 8.0.
7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate
biological activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is recommended
if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm
season.
Loading:
The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the better the
lac,00n will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily are
optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained
C71
and recharged each day, also work well.

Practice water conservation --- minimize building water usage and
spillage from leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through
proper maintenance and water conservation.
Minimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This
will reduce the amount of solids entering the lagoon
Management:
Maintain lacyoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and
ZD
the full temporary storage level.
Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the
minimum liquid level and the maximum liquid lever (Figure 2-1).
Start irricatin- at the earliest possible date in the spring based on
0 4=1
nutrient requirements and soil moisture so that temporary storage
will be maximized for the summer thunderstorm season. Similarly,
irrigate in the late summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon

Frequently remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or
wherever they are installed -
Maintain strict vegetation, rodent, and varmint control near la-oon edges.
Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on la-oon dam or embankment.

Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is
full or before it fills 50 percent of the permanent storage volume.
If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for
obtaining and implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility of a
pollutant discharge.
Sludge Removal:
e�
Rate of lacoon sludge buildup can be reduced by:

proper lagoon sizing,
mechanical solid's separation of flushed waste,
gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or
minimizing feed wastage and spillage.
Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will:
have more nutrients,
have more odor, and
require more land to properly use the nutrients.
Removal techniques:
Hire a custom applicator.

Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste
constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different
nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields will be
limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field and crop
requirement. Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3.
When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage. Close
C� 0 .
attention b the pumper or dracr-line operator will ensure that the lacroon liner remains
y 0 0
intact. If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should
stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can be
C,
removed without liner injury. If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as
possible.
Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and heavy metal content
than liquid. Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus
and metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of
erosion. Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil -test phosphores, it
should be applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other
wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value.
The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site.
C,
Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which
could increase the concern of neighbors.

Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure
Lagoon failures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure. Types
of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of the
dam. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for
ensuring structure safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures include:
Modification of the lagoon structure --- an example is the placement of a pipe
in the dam without proper design and construction. (Consult an expert in
laaoon design before placing any pipes in dams.)
Lacoon liquid levels --- high levels are a safety risk.
Failure to inspect and maintain the dam.
Excess surface water flowinc, into the lagoon.
Liner integrity --- Protect frOM inlet pipe scouring, damage during sludge
4:� 0 C, tn
removal, or rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater
table.
NOTE. If lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving; water will soon cause
Z�
gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly cause a large discharge

of wastewater and possible dam failure.

MORTALITY MANAGEMENT METHODS

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Producer: DEMPSEY NOBLE
Location: 891 BLANEY BLIZZARD ROAD
DEEP RUN NC 28525
Telephone: [phone]
Type Operation: Existing Feeder to Finish Swine
Number of Animals; 600.00 hogs

STORAGE STRUCTURE: Anaerobic Waste Treatment Lagoon
APPLICATION METHOD: Irrigation
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 DWQ regulations.
Page: 1

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and
downwind odor problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production
and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should
be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30
days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy.
Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and
reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If
you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this
plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the
same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage
requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your
waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant
analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied.
Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible
so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type.
Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific
crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements
for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission.
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
600 hogs x !.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 1140 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
600 hogs x 4.6 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 2760 lbs. PAN/year
Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time
and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on
the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded
in bermudagrazs), 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 o--':' four
inches. in fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed
for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small
grain to reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or fiay). Shading may result if small grain gets too
high and this will definitely interfere with stand of
bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced
yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than
Page: 4

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as
is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small
grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or
silage two to three times during the season, depending on
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late
September or early October., Drilling is recommended over
broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a
height. of about two inches before drilling for best results.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the
usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches,
odd areas Unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving
full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total
acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the
acres shown in the tables.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of
animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land
application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient
rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application
of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce
approximately 222 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 1110
iDounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid
�ermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, . you
will need 3-7 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 8.88 acres
of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 259. depending on your
sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application
methods.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the
soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This
rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil
texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount
should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the
time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed
the nitrogen needs of the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan,
it is the resoonsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure
that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres
shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
Page: 6

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 180.00 days of temporary storage and the
temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6.00
months. In no instance should the volume of the waste be stored in
your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot
of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to
ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the
correct rates to the acres shown in Tables I and 2. Failure to apply
the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may
make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis
report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and
the proper application rate prior to applying the waste.
NARRATIVE OF OPERATION
This plan is based on a two year cropping rotation of corn/wheat/soybeans with a
cover crop to be added after soybeans. The PAN has been doubled to account for
two years of animal waste nitrogen.

2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the
producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate
land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does
not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall
provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a
reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for
waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the
facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when
there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of
animals, method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the
nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type,
available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict
the rate of application for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons
per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding
at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year
providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves
the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strip)
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after
waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is
danger of drift from the irrigation field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to
flooding, it. will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled
cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or
grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application
does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather
and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil
infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to
surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from
the site during application. No ponding should occur in order
to control odor or flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during
rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such
a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that
would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal
waste should also be considered.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for
spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for
leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be
held to a minimum -and a suitable winter cover crop planted to
take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more
than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking
dormancy,
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall
comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the'land area
onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of
a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential
property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other
than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than
swine waste from facilities sited on or at-fter October 1, 1995),
shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters.
(See Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to
wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of
dwellings other than those owned by -the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property
and public right-of-ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters,
drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying.
Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided
they have been approved as a land application site by a
"technical s�)ecialistll. Animal waste shall not be applied on
grassed waterways that discharges directly into water courses,
and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at
agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from
the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities,
showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the
animal -waste management system.
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be
established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms,
pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to
protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and
other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered
appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept:� mowed and accessible.
Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence
of erosion, leakage or discharge.
Page: 9

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or
terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and
implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should
be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks,
and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should he kept on
site.
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables
and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if
animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it
should only be applied preplant with no further applications of
animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and
bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of
all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to
maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will
be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste
storage ponds.
22. Waste shall be tested within Go days of utilization and so-11
shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste
products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining
element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be
monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these
metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for
optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste
analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry
waste application records shall be maintained for three (3)
years. waste application records for all other was -Le shall be
maintained for five (5) years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North
Carolina regulations.

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 0 types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to)and receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRRI, HZR2, DRYI, 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
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.

Dear Mr. Noble:
On November 18, 1997, Staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of
Water Quality inspected your animal operation and the lagoon(s) serving this operation. It was
observed that the lagoon has insufficient freeboard.
USDA-NRCS guidelines require a minimum of one foot and seven inches of freeboard.
This is based on the amount of storage space needed to contain a 25-year, 24 hour design storm
event without a discharge. NRCS requirements also specify that animal waste shall be applied on
actively growing crops. And that waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring
planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these
soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released
nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop on bare soil.
The level of your waste lagoon needs to be lowered and maintained in accordance with the
NRCS guidelines and the state 2H .0200 rules governing animal waste management systems. In
addition, as was discussed at the time of the inspection, all trees and bushes should be cut and the
root systems removed from the lagoon dike walls, and an appropriate vegetative cover should be
established to prevent erosion. The lagoon dike wall adjacent to the hog house should be graded
and reseeded, and the lagoon should have a liquid level marker. We suggest that you contact your
service company, local NRCS or Soil and Water District office for any assistance they may be
able to provide to correct the situation.

Dear Farm Owner:
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study

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 Bany Huneycutt of our staff at91gn33-0026.

On August 7, 1995 Staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Environmental
Management inspected your animal operations and the lagoons serving these operations. It was observed
that the level in the waste lagoon at the farm was — 3 " from the top, and did not have sufficient freeboard.
It was also observed that recent repairs to the dike wall had been made.
NRCS guidelines for Best Management Practices require a minimum of one foot seven inches of
freeboard. This is based on the amount of storage space needed to contain a 25-year storm event of 24
hours duration. You should pump down your lagoon to provide the required freeboard. The wastewater
spraying activity should be done in accordance with NRCS standards which are designed to prevent runoff
from your spray fields.
To remain a deemed permitted facility, all corrective actions must be made within seven (7) days.
Failure to do so may result in the facilities losing their deemed permitted status and being required to
obtain individual non -discharge permits for the facilities.
Please be aware it is a violation of North Carolina General Statutes and Rules to discharge
wastewate'r to the surface waters of the State without a permit and/or to fail to follow a certified waste
management plan. The Division of Environmental Management has the authority to levy a civil penalty
of not more than $10,000 per day per violation.
