In accordance with your March 25, 2011 Notification of Change of Ownership and request to change
operation type without exceeding the permitted steady state live weight, we are hereby forwarding to you
this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Bradley Rabon Maready, authorizing the operation of the
subject animal waste management system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
and land application of animal waste as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management
Plan (CAWMP) for the National Spinning Farm, located in Duplin County, with a swine animal capacity
of no greater than the following annual averages:

If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may be one boar for each 15 sows. Where
boars are unnecessary, 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 September 30, 2014, and shall hereby void
Certificate of Coverage Number AWS310570 dated October 1, 2009. Pursuant to this COC, you are
authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as
specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting
and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this
facility. Any increase in waste_ production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number
of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and
this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
r
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Please pay careful attention to the
record keeping and monitoring conditions in this permit. Record keeping forms are unchanged with this
General Permit. Please continue to use the same record keeping forms.

If your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) has been developed based on site -specific information, careful
evaluation of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current WUP is inaccurate
you will need to have a new WUP developed.
The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property.
Per 15A NCAC 2T .0105(h) a compliance boundary is provided for the facility and no new water supply
wells shall be constructed within the compliance boundary. Per NRCS standards a 100-foot separation
shall be maintained between water supply wells and any lagoon, storage pond, or any wetted area of a
spray field.
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 relief.
If you wish to continue the activity permitted under the General Permit after the expiration date of the
General Permit, then an application for renewal must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration.
This COC is not automatically transferable. A name/ownership change application must be submitted to
the Division prior to a name change or change in ownership.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this COC are unacceptable, you have the right to
apply for an individual permit by contacting the Animal Feeding Operations Unit for information on this
process. Unless such a request is made within 30. days, this COC shall be final and binding.
In accordance with Condition H.22 of the General Permit, waste application shall cease within four (4)
hours of the time that the National Weather Service issues a Hurricane Warning, Tropical Storm Warning,
or a Flood Watch associated with a tropical system for the county in which the facility is located. You
may find detailed watch/warning information for your county by calling the Newport/Morehead City,

The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of cropland
needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements, and proper
tinting of applications to maximize nutrient uptake.
This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or other
by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each field in order to
supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included.
A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the
manure generated by the operation. Animal operations that generate liquid waste and utilize waste storage facilities (lagoons or holding ponds) may apply more or
less waste in any given year than is annually generated by the facility. In order to determine whether the plan adequately utilizes the waste produced by the facility,
the storage capacity table included in this plan should be reviewed to ensure that the design capacity of the storage facility is not exceeded during the planning period.
Depending on the requirements of the crop and the nutrient content of the waste, some nutrients will likely be over or under applied if animal waste is being utilized.
Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle and annual soil tests are required if animal waste is being applied. Soil tests should be used to balance the
nutrient application amounts with the realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Nutrient management plans may require that the application of animal waste be limited
so as to prevent over application of phosphorous when excessive levels of this nutrient are detected in a field.

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

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

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

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift,
manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during
operation or land application. Any discharge of waste that reaches surface
water is prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either
owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly
apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly
dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a
landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use
of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the
waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Management
Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of
animals, method of application, receiving crop type, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs
for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical
data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are
regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre
per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter
strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, MRCS Field
Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disldng 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
750689 Database Version 1.06 Date Printed: 04-04-2001 Specification Page 1

method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No
ponding should occur in order to control odor and flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall
events, or when the soil surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner
that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit
growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be
considered.
10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring
planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Wastelnutrient
loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable
winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be
applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages
breaking dormancy.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with
the following: The outerperimeter of the land area onto which waste is
applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least
50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste,
other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995,
shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters.
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other
than those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public
right-of-ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways,
or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be
applied to prior converted cropland provided the fields have been
approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal
waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly
into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be
applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from
the site.
750689 Database Version 1.06 Date Printed: 04-04-2001 Specification Page 2

16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets,
sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management
system.
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all
disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas
shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as
trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where
considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and
accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for
evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge.
18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the
owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan"
which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, and
erosion.
19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected
on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular
maintenance checklist should be kept on site.
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other
crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on
crops for direct human consumption, it should only be applied pre -plant
with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom
elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste
treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level
between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum
storage volume for waste storage ponds.
22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested
at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen
shall be the rate -determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require
waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower
application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the
soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these
750689 Database Version 1.06 Date Printed: 04-04-200 L Specification Page 3

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.

Crop Notes
The following crop note applies to field(s): 1
Bermudagrass Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, Moderately Well Drained.
Adaptation: Well -adapted -
in the Coastal Plain, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. 1 to Mar. 31. Cover sprigs I" to 3"
deep (1.5" optimal). Sprigs should be planted quickly after digging and not allowed to dry in sun and wind.
For Coastal and Tifton 78 plant at least 10 bu/ac in 3' rows, spaced 2' to 3' in the row. Generally a rate of
30 bu/ac is satisfactory to produce full groundcover in one or two years under good growing conditions.
Tifton 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bu/ac in 1.5' to 2' rows spaced V to 1.5' in row. For
broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus, potassium
and micronutnents to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 100 lb/ac N in the
establishment year in split applications in April and duly. For established stands apply 180 to 240 War, N
annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts. Reduce N rates
by 25% for grazing. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization of Pastures and
Forages in North Carolina for more information or consult your regional agronomist or extension agent for
assistance.
The following crop note applies to field(s): 1
Small Grain: CP, Mineral Soil, medium leachable
In the Coastal Plain, oats and barley should be planted from October 15-October 30; and rye from October
15-November 20. For barley, plant 22 seed/drill row foot and increase the seeding rate by 5% for each
week seeding is delayed beyond the optimum time. See the seeding rates table for applicable seeding rate
modifications in the current NCSU "Small Grain Production Guide". Also, increase the initial seeding rate
by at least 10% when planting no -till. Oats should be planted at 2 bushels/acre and rye at 1-1 1/2
bushels/acre. Plant all these small grains at 1-1 1/2" deep. Adequate depth control is essential. Review the
NCSU Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to select a high yielding
variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Apply no more than 30 lbs/acre N at
planting. Phosphorus and potash recommended by a soil test can also be applied at this time. The
remaining N should be applied during the months of February -March.

Irrigated Acreage Determination, Stationary Sprinkler System, Draft Date 11-23-98
Irrigated Acreage Determination Procedures
for Wastewater Application Equipment
Irrigation continues to be the most practical and cost effective method of
applying wastewater to fields so that the nutrients contained therein can be
Stationary utilized by growing crops. However, irrigation systems have inherent
Sprinkler application limitations that make field calibration, irrigation scheduling, and
Irrigation System determination of irrigated acreage critical for proper utilization of the
nutrients contained in the applied wastewater.
Irrigation systems are normally designed in accordance with
equipment specifications provided in manufacturer charts. Information
presented in manufacturers' charts are based on average operating
conditions for relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application
rates change over time as equipment ages and components wear. As a
result, equipment should be field calibrated regularly to ensure that
application rates and uniformity are consistent with values used during the
system design and given in manufacturers' specifications. Field calibration
is a simple procedure involving collection and measurement of the material
being applied at several locations in the application area. Step by step
guidelines for field calibration of stationary sprinkler irrigation systems are
given in Extension Publication AG 553-1, Field Calibration Procedures
for Animal Wastewater Application Equipment: Stationary Sprinkler
irrigation system.
Irrigation must be scheduled and applied at times when fields are
dry enough to retain all of the applied liquid within the root zone. If soils
are too wet at the time of irrigation, some of the applied wastewater may
runoff the field or leach below the root zone and become unavailable to the
crop. These unutilized nutrients could potentially contaminate surface or
ground water supplies. Determining when and how much wastewater to
apply for the prevailing conditions is referred to as irrigation scheduling.
Irrigation scheduling techniques and procedures are outlined in Extension
publications AG4524 Irrigation Scheduling to Improve Water- and
Energy- Use Efficiencies.
Irrigation systems do not uniformly apply water throughout their entire
wetted radius. Under normal operating conditions, application depths tend
to be higher near the sprinkler and decrease gradually within the first 60 to
70 percent of the wetted radius. Beyond this point, the application depth
declines quickly dropping to nothing at the outer edge. Irrigation design
guidelines take equipment limitations into account in establishing
recommended overlap ranges to optimize uniformity of coverage.
Determining the uniformly irrigated area for stationary sprinklers can be
difficult for sprinklers located along the outer perimeter of the field, for
non- uniform sprinkler spacings, or for sprinkler systems with improper
overlap:: This publication contains step -by step guidelines for determining
-irrigated acreage of stationary sprinkler irrigation systems._

Irrigated Acreage Determination, Stationary Sprinkler System, Draft Date 11-23-98
Background
Sprinkler spacing and design guidelines have
been developed primarily for freshwater
irrigation with the primary goal of ensuring
that those areas of the field receiving the least
amount of water received an adequate amount
to sustain the crop and achieve yield goals. To
achieve minimum desired application depths
within the "lighter application zones",
sprinkler spacings of 50 to 65 percent of the
wetted sprinkler diameter have been
determined to be "optimum" to compensate
for the declining application along the outer
perimeter. Closer spacings are typically
justified for smaller sprinklers; and, higher
value crops may economically warrant closer
spacing. However, closer spacings may also
result in some zones receiving more water
than necessary, and certainly more than the
average. A good irrigation design is one that
considers these factors and utilizes a sprinkler
spacing that achieves a balance between the
relative proportion of "under" and "over"
irrigated area in order to achieve the most
uniform application possible.
The application uniformity can be
quantified using one of several uniformity
index measures. The uniformity index
recommended for wastewater application is
the mathematical formula referred to as the
Christiansen Uniformity Coefficient. Step by
step computational procedures are outlined in
Extension Publication AG-553-1, referenced
in the previous section. An application
uniformity index of 50 is the minimum
acceptable for wastewater application utilizing
stationary sprinklers. Irrigation systems should
be field calibrated regularly to ensure that
application uniformity is within the acceptable
range. The area within a field and given
sprinkler pattern receiving an acceptable
uniform application -can also be determined
through field calibration.
recently adopted guidelines and procedures for
determining the acreage that could be counted
towards the "irrigated area" in satisfying the
Certified Animal Waste Management Plan
(CAWMP). The committee considered many
factors including recommendations from
irrigation engineers, certified irrigation
designers and industry representatives before
arriving at these guidelines. The irrigated area
determination includes two broad categories:
existing irrigation systems - those systems
installed before the guidelines were finalized -
and new or expanded irrigation systems
installed after release of the third revision of the
Sixth Guidance Document dated October 28,
1998. The terms, interpretations, and definitions
presented herein became effective by the third
revision to the Sixth Guidance Documenter
dated October 28, 1998. Further updates and
revisions may have occurred since that time.
For the purpose of computing the irrigated
acreage available to satisfy the CAWMP, the
SB-1217 interagency Committee adopted the
term "CAWMP Wettable Acre" to be applied
to existing systems. The irrigated acreage for
new or expanded systems, should be based on
standard irrigation design guidelines which are
based on the effective design area. These
terms are defined below.
Existing Irrigation Systems - For stationary
sprinkler systems designed and installed in
accordance with standard overlap
recommendations (sprinkler spacing between 50
and 70 percent of verified wetted diameter) and
laid out with multiple overlapping laterals, the
irrigated area allowance is the entire "net
wetted area" in the field. The net wetted area
is any part of the field that gets "wetted" by
one or -more sprinklers when operated
during normal conditions, i.e., wind speed
under 5 mph: .

Figure 1 Wetted area of a stationary sprinkler
operated without overlap.
2, the entire shaded area gets wetted;
however, in this case, the wetted area is
referred to as "net wetted area". Due to
overlap, some areas are wetted by multiple
sprinklers. Obviously these overlap areas
cannot be counted twice, hence the term "net"
is used. The sprinkler spacing is represented
by the inscribed rectangle. For a stationary
sprinkler system, there are two sprinkler
designations within the field that affect
determination of irrigated acreage.
-Interior sprinklers
-Exterior sprinklers
Figure 2 Net wetted area for multiple
sprinlders in a square sprinkler pattern
An interior sprinkler is any sprinkler that
receives overlap on all sides. For a rectangular
spacing within the recommended spacing
range (less than 70 percent of wetted
diameter), an interior sprinkler receives
overlap from eight adjacent sprinklers as shown
in Figure 3, although only four sprinklers
contribute significant overlap. Any sprinkler not
receiving overlap from all eight adjacent
sprinklers is considered an exterior sprinkler.
For the sprinkler pattern shown in Figure 3,
only the three center sprinklers are interior
sprinklers and the net wetted area for one
interior sprinkler is represented by the center
shaded rectangle. The other twelve sprinklers
are exterior and the net wetted area of one
exterior sprinkler is represented by the top
shaded area. Note that the two shaded areas are
not the same size.
For stationary sprinkler systems arranged in
a single lateral pattern, the "net wetted area"
should be computed based on 90 percent of the
wetted diameter along the outer perimeter and
the sprinkler spacing along the lateral, Figure 4.
The portion of the outer 10 percent of the
wetted radius that does not overlap with an
adjacent sprinkler is not included for reasons
explained in the next section. For any system in
which the lateral spacing exceeds 70 % of the
wetted diameter, each lateral should be treated
as a "single lateral" case.
The system layout including determination
of lateral and sprinkler spacing, lateral
configuration, and number of interior and
exterior sprinklers must be determined in order
to compute the CAWW Wettable Acres.

Figure 4 Net wetted area of stationary
sprinklers arranged along a single lateral -
New or Expanded Irrigation Systems. New
or expanded irrigation systems should follow
recommended design standards whereby the
allowable irrigated area should be based on the
effectively irrigated area, referred to herein as
the "design area".
The effective irrigated area is herein
defined as the wetted area that receives at
least 50 percent of the target application
amount. From field calibration measurements,
this has been determined to be the area that
falls within 78 percent of the wetted radius as
shown in Figure 5. Note that application
depths remain within 90 percent of the target
amount out to 60 percent of the wetted radius.
Between 60 and 70 percent of the wetted
radius, application amounts still remain within
80 percent of the target application amount,
but beyond 70 percent of the wetted radius,

application amounts drop off quickly, declining
to 50 percent by 78 percent of the wetted
radius. Beyond 90 percent of the wetted radius,
the application depth drops below 20 percent.
This means that for a typical irrigation plan (for
example, 5-6 inches of wastewater applied
annually to bermudagrass), the outer fiinge
receives less than one inch of wastewater for
the entire year. These data confirm irrigation
design specifications recommended by the
North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service
and should be applied to new or expanded
systems.

Figure 6 Effective irrigated area of a single
sprinkler when sprinkler spacing esceeds 70 percent
of wetted diameter.
The irrigated area allowance of a single
sprirMer regardless of when the system was
installed is the area inscribed within 78 % of the
wetted radius as shown in Figure 6. A stand
alone sprinkler or any sprinklers located on
laterals in which the lateral spacing and the
sprinkler spacing along the lateral exceeds 70
percent is to be treated as a single sprinkler. For
example, in Figure 6, the spacing along the
lateral is 90 percent of the wetted diameter so
the area of each sprinkler is computed as a
single sprinkler rather than as a single lateral as
was shown in Figure 4. In Figure 4, the shaded
areas overlap, therefore computations are based
on a "single lateral In Figure 6, the shaded
area does not overlap, therefore the
computations are based on each sprinklers

lines farthest from the pump. In both cases,
the sprinklers should be located at least 1/4 of
the way down the lateral line. The system
should be operated long enough for all air to
be purged from the system before measuring
the pressure.
If using portable quick connect risers, it is
suggested to configure one riser with a
pressure gage so that the entire assembly can
be easily moved to several laterals. This riser -
pressure gage assembly should be an "extra"
riser and used only when pressure
measurements are needed. If it is used
routinely, the gage will soon foul and give
erroneous measurements.
For permanent risers, a tee with a
threaded reducing port should be installed in
two riser pipes. A pressure gage should be
temporarily installed in the threaded port to
make pressure measurements. Once the
measurement has been made, it is
recommended to remove the gage and plug
the port. The same gage can be used at all
locations. An alternative approach is to install
a shut-off valve between the riser pipe and
pressure gage and leave the gage permanently
mounted.
It is also necessary to determine the exact
size of the nozzle opening. Most
manufacturers stamp the nozzle size on the
end of the nozzle. If this is not readable, a drill
index can be used to determine the size of
small nozzles (less than '/z inch diameter).
Simply insert the shank end of the drill bit into
the nozzle opening until the bit providing a
snug fit is found. Read and record the size of
the drill bit.
Once the operating pressure and nozzle
opening have been measured, the wetted
diameter can be estimated from
manufacturers' literature.
Determining Irrigated Acreage
Once the necessary' field, data have been
Y collected and the wetted'radiiis"or'diameter
determined, the CAWW Wettable Acres can
be computed. Computations are not difficult;
but can become cumbersome for non- uniform
sprinkler spacings, sprinkler systems with
improper overlap, and sprinklers located along
the out perimeter of the field. To simplify the
determination of irrigated acreage,
computations have been tabulated in Tables 1 -
5 for typical spacings and patterns. Use of these
tables requires precise determination of wetted
diameter, system layout, and the number of
interior and exterior sprinklers as defined
earlier.
Irrigated acreage based on net wetted area
for existing systems is shown in columns (B),
(C) and (F) in Tables 1 - 5. Irrigated acreage
based on design area for new or expanded
systems is shown in columns (D), (E), and (G).
The following general guidelines should be
followed in using these tabulated values.
Decisions are to be made on a field by field
basis as referenced in the CAV W.
1. Determine the number of interior and
exterior sprinklers for each field.
2. Determine if the system in each field
satisfies the existing or new
designation.
3. From the field data worksheet,
determine the lateral and sprinkler
spacing along the lateral.
4. Determine whether the system satisfies
the multiple lateral or single lateral
definition.
If the lateral spacing exceeds 70 percent
but the sprinkler spacing along the
lateral is less than 70 percent, the
systems should be treated as a single
lateral system and irrigated acreage read
from column F from the appropriate
table based on sprinkler spacing along
the lateral.., .. } .
M

Irrigated Acreage Determination, Stationary Sprinkler System Draft Date 11-23-98
If both the lateral and sprinkler spacing
exceeds 70 percent, the irrigated area
should be read from Table 6.
Read the irrigated area per sprinkler
for the given wetted diameter from the
appropriate column based on pattern,
spacing, and sprinkler type.
If the lateral or sprinkler spacing falls
between the tabulated values,
interpolate or round down and use the
table for the next lowest value shown.
For example, if the computed spacing
is between 60 and 64 percent, use the
60 percent table.
If the pattern is rectangular (rather
than square as shown), for example,
lateral spacing is 65 percent but
sprinkler spacing along lateral is 55
percent, average these two values and
use the appropriate table - in this case,
�{ Table 3, 60 percent table. As before, if
the averaged value falls in between the
tabulated values, interpolate between
the appropriate tables or round down
to the next lowest tabulated value.
6. Multiply the tabulated irrigated
acreage value per sprinkler by the
number of sprinklers in each category.
Sum all of these and this is the total
irrigated acreage for the field.
Determination of Irrigated Acreage:
Case I: Multiple Laterals with uniform
spacing. Shown in Figure 8 is a typical lateral
and sprinkler pattern for a stationary sprinkler
system. This existing system has eight (8)
laterals of varying length laid out in the field.
1. Determine the number of interior and
exterior sprinklers for each field (worksheet
item 7). Referring to Figure 8, count all
sprinklers along the outer perimeter of the
field to determine the number of exterior
sprinklers. Any sprinkler not receiving
overlap on all sides should be counted as an
exterior sprinkler.
Number of Exterior Sprinklers = 30
Number of Interior Sprinklers = 42
2. Determine if the system in each field
satisfies the existing or new designation.
System satisfies existing designation
3. From the field data, determine the lateral
and sprinkler spacing along the lateral and
wetted diameter.
From the appropriate field data worksheet,
the lateral spacing (item 3) is 80 feet and the
sprinkler spacing (item 3) along the lateral is
80 feet. The wetted diameter (item 5) is 127
feet.
Sprinkler spacing as percentage of wetted
diameter is:

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Producer: ELDRIDGE "RED" MAREADY
Location: PO BOX 146
BEULAVILLE NC 28518
Telephone: [phone]
Type Operation: Existing Feeder to Finish Swine
Number of Animals: 900.00 hogs
(Design, Capacity)
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.

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.)
900 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 1710 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
900 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 2070 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 bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing,
hay and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed
when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle
should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four
inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed
for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small
grain to reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too
high and this will definitely interfere with stand of
bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced
yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than
cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as
is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small
grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or
silage two to three times during the season, depending on
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late
September or early October. Drilling is recommended over
broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a
height of about two inches before drilling for best results.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the
usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches,
odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving
full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total
acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the
acres shown in the tables.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of
animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land
application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient
rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application
of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce
approximately 333 pounds of plant available nitrogen per .year in the
sludge.
I£ you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 1665
pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid
bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you
will need 5.55 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 13.32 acres
of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 2526 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

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 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.

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

May 1, 2003
Subject. Certificate of Coverage No. AWS310570
National Spinning Farm
Swine Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Duplin County
On April 28, 2003, the North Carolina General Assembly ratified Senate Bill 733 which directs the
Division of Water Quality (Division).to_extend the expiration -date of the Swine Waste Operation General
Permit AWG100000. Therefore, the General Permit has been re -issued by the Division to extend the
expiration date to October 1, 2004. During the period of this extension the Division will be working with
all interested parties on the development of a new version of the Non -Discharge General Permit.
In accordance with your application received on January 17, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of
Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Eldridge
Maready, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land
application system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000. The issuance of this COC
supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS310570 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 National Spinning Farm, located in Duplin County, with an animal capacity of
no greater than an annual average of 900 Feeder to Finish swine and the application to land as specified
in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or
Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary,
they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a
rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until. October 1, 2004. Pursuant to this COC, you
are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as
specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for coIlecting
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 (Iocal, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property. AMA

The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of cropland
needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements, and proper
timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake.
This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop. being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or other
by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on cacti field in order to
supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from cacti source is also included.
A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the
manure generated by the operation. Animal operations that generate liquid waste and utilize waste storage facilities (lagoons or holding ponds) may apply more or
less waste in any given year than is annually generated by the facility. In order to determine whether the plan adequately utilizes the waste produced by the facility,
the storage capacity table included in this plan should be reviewed to ensure that the design capacity of the storage facility is not exceeded during the planning period.
Depending on the requirements of the crop and the nutrient content of the waste, some nutrients will likely be paver or under applied if animal waste is being utilized.
Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle and annual soil tests are required if animal waste is being applied. Soil tests should be used to balance the
nutrient application amounts with the realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Nutrient management plans may require that the application of animal waste be limited
so as to prevent over application of phosphorous when excessive levels of this nutrient are detected in a field.

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

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

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift,
manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during
operation or land application. Any discharge of waste that reaches surface
water is prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either
owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly
apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly
dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a
landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use
of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the
waste production facility' to secure an update of the Nutrient Management
Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of
animals, method of application, receiving crop type, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs
for_realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical
data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are
regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre
per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter
strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field
Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste
application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift
from the land application field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will
be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is
applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be
broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone
to flooding (see "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance).
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration
rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a
-- ---- ----------........-------------- ... ---- -----..---- -.......... ...... --------------- --...................-- ---..........---.-------

ponding should occur in order to control odor and flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall
events, or when the soil surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner
that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit
growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be
considered.
10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring
planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient
loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable
winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be

the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is
applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least
50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste,
other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995,
shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters.
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer. than 200 feet of dwellings other
than those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public
right-of-ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways,
or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be
applied to prior converted cropland provided the fields have been
approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal
waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly
into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be
applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from
the site.
750689 Database Version 1.06 Date Printed: 0---0-t ------ 2001 Specification Page 2

16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets,
sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management
system.
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all
disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas
shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as
trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where
considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and
accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for
evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge.
18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the
owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan"
which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, and
erosion.
19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected
on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular
maintenance checklist should be kept on site.
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other
crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on
crops for direct human consumption, it should only be applied pre -plant
with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season.

elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste
treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level
between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum
storage volume for waste storage ponds.
22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested
at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen
shall be the rate -determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require
waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower
application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the
soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these

Crop Notes
The following crop note applies to field(s)
Bermudagrass Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, Moderately Well Drained.
Adaptation: Well -adapted.
In the Coastal Plain, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. 1 to Mar. 31. Cover sprigs 1" to Y
deep (1.5" optimal). Sprigs should be planted quickly after digging and not allowed to dry in sun and wind.
For Coastal and Tifton 78 plant at least 10 bu/ac in 3' rows, spaced 2' to 3 in the row. Generally a rate of
30 bu/ac is satisfactory to produce full groundcover in one or two years under good growing conditions.
Tifton 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bu/ac in 1.5' to 2' rows spaced Y to 1.5' in row. For
broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus. potassium
and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance_ Apply 60 to 100 lb/ac N in the
establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply 180 to 240 lb/ac N
annually in split applications, usually in -April and following the first and second hay cuts. Reduce N rates
by 25% for grazing. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization of Pastures and
Forages in North Carolina for more information or consult your regional agronomist or extension agent for
assistance.
The following crop note applies to field(s):
Small Grain: CP, Mineral Soil, medium leachable
In the Coastal Plain, oats and barley_ should be planted from October 15-October 30- and rye from October
1-5-November 20. For barley, plant 22 seed/drill row foot and increase the seeding rate b}5% for each
week seeding is delayed beyond the optimum time. See the seeding rates table for applicable seeding rate
modifications in the current NCSU "Small Grain Production Guide". Also, increase the initial seeding rate
by at least 10% when planting no -till. Oats should be planted at 2 bushels/acre and rve at 1-1 1 /2
bushels/acre, Plant all these small grains at 1-1 1/2" deep. Adequate depth control is essential. Review the
NCSU Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to select a high yielding
variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Apple no more than 30 lbs/acre N at
planting. Phosphorus and potash recommended by a soil test can also be applied at this time. The
remaining N should be applied during the months of February -March.

Irrigated Acreage Determination Procedures
for Wastewater Application Equipment
Irrigation continues to be the most practical and cost effective method of
applying wastewater to fields so that the nutrients contained therein can be
Stationary utilized by growing crops. However, irrigation systems have inherent
Sprinkler application limitations that make field calibration, irrigation scheduling, and
Irrigation System determination of irrigated acreage critical for proper utilization of the
nutrients contained in the applied wastewater.
Irrigation systems are normally designed in accordance with
equipment specifications provided in manufacturer charts. Information
presented in manufacturers' charts are based on average operating
conditions for relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application
rates change over time as equipment ages and components wear. As a
result, equipment should be field calibrated regularly to ensure that
application rates and uniformity are consistent with values used during the
system design and given in manufacturers' specifications. Field calibration
is a simple procedure involving collection and measurement of the material
being applied at several locations in the application area. Step by step
guidelines for field calibration of stationary sprinkler irrigation systems are
given in Extension Publication AG-553-1, Field Calihration Procedures
for Animal Wastewater Application Equipment: Stationary Sprinkler
irrigation system.
Irrigation must be scheduled and applied at times when fields are
dry enough to retain all of the applied liquid within the root zone. If soils
are too wet at the time of irrigation, some of the applied wastewater may
runoff the field or leach below the root zone and become unavailable to the
crop. These unutilized nutrients could potentially contaminate surface or
ground water supplies. Determining when and how much wastewater to
apply for the prevailing conditions is referred to as irrigation scheduling.
Irrigation scheduling techniques and procedures are outlined in Extension
publications AG452-4 Irrigation Scheduling to Improve Water- and
Energy- Use Efficiencies.
Irrigation systems do not uniformly apply water throughout their entire
wetted radius. Under normal operating conditions, application depths tend
to be higher near the sprinkler and decrease gradually within the first 60 to
70 percent of the wetted radius. Beyond this point, the application depth
declines quickly dropping to nothing at the outer edge. Irrigation design
guidelines take equipment limitations into account in establishing
recommended overlap ranges to optimize uniformity of coverage.
Determining the uniformly irrigated area for stationary sprinklers can be
difficult for sprinklers located along the outer perimeter of the field, for
non- uniform sprinkler spacings, or for sprinkler systems with improper
overlap. This publication contains step -by step guidelines for determining
irrigated acreage of stationary sprinkler irrigation systems.

Irrigated Acreage Determination, Stationary Sprinkler System, Draft Date 11-23-98
Background
Sprinkler spacing and design guidelines have
been developed primarily for freshwater
irrigation with the primary goal of ensuring
that those areas of the field receiving the least
amount of water received an adequate amount
to sustain the crop and achieve yield goals. To
achieve minimum desired application depths
within the "lighter application zones",
sprinkler spacings of 50 to 65 percent of the
wetted sprinkler diameter have been
determined to be "optimum" to compensate
for the declinir_g application along the outer
perimeter. Closer spacings are typically
justified for smaller sprinklers; and, higher
value crops may economically. warrant closer
spacing. However, closer spacings may also
result in some zones receiving more water
than necessary, and certainly more than the
average. A good irrigation design is one that
considers these factors and utilizes a sprinkler
spacing that achieves a balance between the
relative proportion of "under" and "over"
irrigated area in order to achieve the most
uniform application possible.
The application uniformity can be
quantified using one of several uniformity
index measures. The uniformity index
recommended for wastewater application is
the mathematical formula referred to as the
Christiansen Uniformity Coefficient. Step by
step computational procedures are outlined in
Extension Publication AG-553-1, referenced
in the previous section. An application
uniformity index of 50 is the minimum
acceptable for wastewater application utilizing
stationary sprinklers. Irrigation systems should
be field calibrated regularly to ensure that
application uniformity is within the acceptable
range. The area within a field and given
sprinkler.pattern receiving an acceptable
uniform application can also be determined
through field calibration. `
Irrigated Acreage - -
The SB 1217 Interagency Committee
recently adopted guidelines and procedures for
determining the acreage that could be counted
towards the "irrigated area" in satisfying the
Certified Animal Waste Management Plan
(CAWMP). The committee considered many
factors including recommendations from
irrigation engineers, certified irrigation
designers and industry representatives before
arriving at these guidelines. The irrigated area
determination includes two broad categories:
existing irrigation systems - those systems
installed before the guidelines were finalized -
and new or expanded irrigation systems
installed after release of the third revision of the
Sixth Guidance Document dated October 28,
1998. The terms, interpretations, and definitions
presented herein became effective by the third
revision to the Sixth Guidance Documenter
dated October 28, 1998. Further updates and
revisions may have occurred since that time.
For the purpose of computing the irrigated
acreage available to satisfy the CAWMP, the
SB-1217 interagency Committee adopted the
term "CAWMP Wettable Acre" to be applied
to existing systems. The irrigated acreage for
new or expanded systems, should be based on
standard irrigation design guidelines which are
based on the effective design area. These
terms are defined below.
Existing Irrigation Systems - For stationary
sprinkler systems designed and installed in
accordance with standard overlap
recommendations (sprinkler spacing between 50
and 70 percent of verified wetted diameter) and
laid out with multiple overlapping laterals, the
irrigated area allowance is the entire "net
wetted area" in the field. The net wetted area
is any part of the field that gets "wetted" by
one or more sprinklers when operated
during normal conditions, i.e., wind speed
under 5 mph.
The "wetted area" for a single sprinkler
operated without overlap is the area inscribed
within its wetted diameter as shown in Figure 1.
Fcu multiple sprinklers such as shown in Figure
2

Irrigated Acreage Determination, Stationary Sprinkler System, Draft Date 11-23-98
Figure I Wetted area of a stationary sprinkler
operated without overlap.
2, the entire shaded area gets wetted;
however, in this case, the wetted area is
referred to as "net wetted area".. -Due to
overlap, some areas are wetted by multiple
sprinklers. Obviously these overlap areas
cannot be counted twice, hence the term "net"
is used. The sprinkler spacing is represented
by the inscribed rectangle. For a stationary
sprinkler system, there are two sprinkler
designations within the field that affect
determination of irrigated acreage.
-Interior sprinklers
-Exterior sprinklers
Figure 2 Net wetted area for multiple
sprinklers in a square sprinkler pattern
An interior sprinkler is any sprinkler that
receives overlap on all sides. For a rectangular
spacing within the recommended spacing
range (less than 70 percent of wetted
diameter), an interior sprinkler receives
overlap from eight adjacent sprinklers as shown
in Figure 3, although only four sprinklers
contribute significant overlap. Any sprinkler not
receiving overlap from all eight adjacent
sprinklers is considered an exterior sprinkler.
For the sprinkler pattern shown in Figure 3,
only the three center sprinklers are interior
sprinklers and the net wetted area for one
interior sprinkler is represented by the center
shaded rectangle. The other twelve sprinklers
are exterior and the net wetted area of one
exterior sprinkler is represented by the top
shaded area. Note that the two shaded areas are
not the same size.
For stationary sprinkler systems arranged in
a single Iateral pattern, the "net wetted area"
should be computed based on 90 percent of the
wetted diameter along the outer perimeter and
the sprinkler spacing along the lateral, Figure 4.
The portion of the outer 10 percent of the
wetted radius that does not overlap with an
adjacent sprinkler is not included for reasons
explained in the next section. For any system in
which the lateral spacing exceeds 70 % of the
wetted diameter, each lateral should be treated
as a "single lateral' case.
The system layout including determination
of lateral and sprinkler spacing, lateral
configuration, and number of interior and
exterior sprinklers must be determined in order
to compute the CAWMP Wettable Acres.

New or Expanded Irrigation Systems. New
or expanded irrigation systems should follow
recommended design standards whereby the
allowable irrigated area should be based on the
effectively irrigated area, referred to herein as
the "design area".
The effective irrigated area is herein
defined as the wetted area that receives at
least 50 percent of the target application
amount. From field calibration measurements,
this has been determined to be the area that
falls within 78 percent of the wetted radius as
shown in Figure 5. Note that application
depths remain within 90 percent of the target
amount out to 60 percent of the wetted radius.
Between 60 and 70 percent of the wetted
radius, application amounts still remain within
80 percent of the target application amount,

application amounts drop off quickly, declining
to 50 percent by 7$ percent of the wetted
radius. Beyond 90 percent of the wetted radius,
the application depth drops below 20 percent.
This means that for a typical irrigation plan (for
example, 5-6 inches of wastewater applied
annually to bermudagrass), the outer fringe
receives less than one inch of wastewater for
the enure year. These data confirm irrigation
design specifications recommended by the
North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service
and should be applied to new or expanded
systems.

Figure 6 Effective irrigated area of a single
sprinkler when sprinkler spacing exceeds 70 percent
of wetted diameter.
The irrigated area allowance of a single
sprinkler regardless of when the system was
installed is the area inscribed within 78 % of the
wetted radius as shown in Figure b. A stand
alone sprinkler or any sprinklers located on
laterals in which the lateral spacing and the
sprinkler spacing along the lateral exceeds 70
percent is to be treated as a single sprinkler. For
example, in Figure b, the spacing along the
lateral is 90 percent of the wetted diameter so
the area of each sprinkler is computed as a
single sprinkler rather than as a single lateral as
was shown in Figure 4. In Figure 4, the shaded
areas overlap, therefore computations are based
on a "single lateral". In Figure 6, the shaded
area does not overlap, therefore the
computations are based on each sprinklers
individually. .

Field Measurements
To accurately calculate the irrigated area
requires determination of the wetted diameter
or radius of the sprinkler system: There are
two methods for determining the wetted
diameter, both require operating the system:
- Direct measurement of the wetted
footprint or
- Measurement of sprinkler pressure then
read from manufacturers' charts for the
observed pressure.
Footprint measurement - Footprint
measurement involves observing, marking and
measuring the farthest distances from the
sprinkler that gets wetted. Field data should
be collected on at least two sprinklers located
on two different lateral lines farthest from the
pump. In both cases, the sprinklers should be
located at least 1/4 of the way down the lateral
line. Measurements should be made during
very light wind (less than 5 mph). The wetted
distance from each sprinkler should be
determined at four points along the perimeter
as indicated in Figure 7. The system should be
operated long enough for all air to be purged
from the system before starting to make
measurements. With the system operating at
normal operating pressure:
Figure 7 Field determination of sprinkler
wetted radius.
1. Standing just outside the wetted
perimeter, observe and flag the farthest
point getting wetted for each of three
consecutive passes of the sprinkler.
2. Select one flag to mark the average
distance of the three observations.
Remove the other two flags.
3. Move 90 degrees around the wetted
perimeter and repeat steps 1 and 2.
Continue until the wetted perimeter has
been flagged on four sides of the
sprinkler as shown in Figure 7.
4. Move to sprinkler #2 and repeat steps
1-3.
5. Measure and record the distances from
the sprinkler to each flag.
6. Determine the average of the four
measurements for each sprinkler.
7. Compare the two sprinklers and if the
measurements are within 10 percent,
compute the average of the two and this
will be the wetted radius. If the
difference between the measurements is
more than 10 percent, repeat steps 1-6
for a third sprinkler.
8. Compare the measurements for all three
sprinklers and identify the two that are
closest. If their difference is less than 10
percent, compute the average of the two
and this value is the wetted radius. If the
difference is more than 10 percent
repeat the above steps until two
sprinklers are identified that fall within
10 percent of each other.
Pressure measurement - The wetted diameter
can also be determined from pressure
measurements provided the pressure is
measured at the sprinkler. Pump pressure is
NOT an acceptable substitute.
Field data should be collected for at least
two sprinklers located on two different lateral
5

Irrigated Acreage Determination, Stationary Sprinkler System, Draft Date 11-23-98
lines farthest from the pump. In both cases,
the sprinklers should be located at least I/4 of
the way down the lateral line. The system
should be operated long enough for all air to
be purged from the system before measuring
the pressure.
If using portable quick connect risers, it is
suggested to configure one riser with a .
pressure gage so that the entire assembly can
be easily moved to several laterals. This riser -
pressure gage assembly should be an "extra"
riser and used only when pressure
measurements are needed. If it is used
routinely, the gage will soon foul and give
erroneous measurements.
For permanent risers, a tee vhth a
threaded reducing port should be installed in
two riser pipes. A pressure gage should be
temporarily installed in the threaded port to
make pressure measurements. Once the
measurement has been made, it is
recommended to remove the gage and plug
the port. The same gage can be used at all
locations. An alternative approach is to install
a shut-off valve between the riser pipe and
pressure gage and leave the gage permanently
mounted.
It is also necessary to determine the exact
size of the nozzle opening. Most
manufacturers stamp the nozzle size on the
end of the nozzle. If this is not readable, a drill
index can be used to determine the size of
small nozzles (less than '/2 inch diameter).
Simply insert the shank end of the drill bit into
the.nozzle opening until the bit providing a
snug fit is found: Read and record the size of
the drill bit.
Once the operating pressure and nozzle
opening have been measured, the wetted
diameter can be estimated from
manufacturers' literature.
Determining Irrigated Acreage
Once the necessary field data have been
collected and the wetted radius or diameter
determined, the CAWMP Wettable Acres can
be computed. Computations are not difficult;
but can become cumbersome for non- uniform
sprinkler spacings, sprinkler systems with
improper overlap, and sprinklers located along
the out perimeter of the field. To simplify the
determination of irrigated acreage,
computations have been tabulated in Tables 1 -
5 for typical spacings and patterns. Use of these_
tables requires precise determination of wetted
diameter, system layout, and the number of
interior and exterior sprinklers as defined
earlier.
Irrigated acreage based on net wetted area
for existing systems is shown in columns (B),
(C) and (F) in Tables 1 - 5. Irrigated acreage
based on design area for new or expanded
systems is shown in columns (D), (E), and (G).
The following general guidelines should be
followed in using these tabulated values.
Decisions are to be made on a field by field
basis as referenced in the CAWMP.
1. Determine the number of interior and
exterior sprinklers for each field.
2. Determine if the system in each field
satisfies the existing or new
designation.
3_ From the field data worksheet,
determine the lateral and sprinkler
spacing along the lateral.
4. Determine whether the system satisfies
the multiple lateral or single lateral
definition.
If the Iateral spacing exceeds 70 percent
but the sprinkler spacing along the
lateral is less than 70 percent, the
systems should be treated as a single
lateral system and irrigated acreage read
from column F from the appropriate
table based on sprinkler spacing along
the lateral.
0

Irrigated Acreage Determination, Stationary Sprinkler System Draft Date 11-23-98
If both the lateral and sprinkler spacing
exceeds 70 percent, the irrigated area
should be read from Table 6.
5. Read the irrigated area per sprinkler
for the given wetted diameter from the
appropriate column based on pattern,
spacing, and sprinkler type.
If the lateral or sprinkler spacing falls
between the tabulated values,
interpolate or round down and use the
table for the next lowest value shown.
For example, if the computed spacing
is between 60 and 64 percent, use the
60 percent table.
If the pattern is rectangular (rather
than square as shown), for example,
lateral spacing is 65 percent but
sprinkler spacing along lateral is 55
percent, average these two values and
use the appropriate table - in this case,
Table 3, 60 percent table. As before, if
the averaged value falls in between the
tabulated values, interpolate between
the appropriate tables or round down
to the next lowest tabulated value.

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Producer: ELDRIDGE "RED" MAREADY
Location: PO BOX 145
BEULAVILLE NC 28518
Telephone: [phone]
Type Operation: Existing Feeder to Finish Swine
Number of Animals: 900.00 hogs
(Design Capacity)
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.)
900 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 1710 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
900 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 2070 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.

NOTE: 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.

Indicates that this field is being overseeded (i.e. interplanted) or
winter annuals follow summer annuals.
+ - Dates shown reflect optimum uptake periods for nutrients. Waste
application may begin up to thirty(30) days prior to planting or
green -up of forages, and extend past optimum dates shown if _
plant growth, pumping conditions, and PAN loading rates permit.
In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded
in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing,
hay and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed
when -they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle
should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four
inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed
for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small
grain to reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too
high and this will definitely interfere with stand of
bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced
yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than
cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as
is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small
grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or
silage two to three times during the season, depending on
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late
September or early October. Drilling is recommended over
broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a
height of about two inches before drilling for best results.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the
usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches,
odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving
full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total
acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than.the
acres shown in the tables.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of
animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land
application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient
rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application
of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce
approximately 333 pounds of plant available nitrogen per .year .in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 1665
pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid
bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you
will need 5.55 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 13.32 acres
of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on your
sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application
methods.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the
soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This
rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil
texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount
should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the
time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed
the nitrogen needs of the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan,
it is'the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure
that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres
shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
Page: 6

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 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.

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

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.

comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area
onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of
a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential
property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other
than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than
swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995),
shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters.
(See Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to
wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of
dwellings other than those owned by the landowner.
14, Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property
and public right-of-ways.
15_ Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters,
drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying.
Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided
they have been approved as a land application site by a
"technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on
grassed waterways that discharges directly into water courses,
and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at
agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from
the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities,
showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the
animal waste management system.
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be
established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms,
pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to
protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and
other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered
appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible.
Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence
of erosion, leakage or discharge.

18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or
terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and
implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should
be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks,
and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on
site.
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables
and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if
animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it
should only be applied preplant with no further applications of
animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and
bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of
all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to
maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will
be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste

The Non -Discharge Permitting Unit has completed a preliminary engineering review of the subject application.
Additional information is required before we can continue our review. Please address the following by October 19, 2000:
1. Please provide a copy of your irrigation design specifications. This should include the pressure at nozzle
(p.s.i); nozzle sizes; pump, mainline and irrigation equipment (lateral sprinklers, travelling gun, etc.) used.
You should provide a diagram showing the location of the mainline from the waste collection site to the field
application site, include the wetted diameter of the application area. Include any technical documentation
provided with your system at time of installation.
2. Please revise the irrigation parameters listed in your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) on page 4, to meet
current waste application recommendations. Your WUP has an application amount of 1.3 inches which
exceeds current recommendations. It is currently recommended that total application amounts not exceed one
inch in any application event for any soil type. Please have your Technical Specialist revise your WUP to
reflect the appropriate application amount per event. If the rates exceed the recommended one inch, please
have your Technical Specialist justify the increased application rate in the narrative of your WUP.
3. Please provide a clearer map that identifies (use a marker to outline or highlight) and shows the acreage for
each field to be used for waste application.
4. Please provide the Realistic Yield Expectation (R.Y.E) for the crops listed on page 2, Table 1 of your Waste
Utilization Plan (WUP). It has listed:
• Rye cover, with a nitrogen (N) uptake of 50 pounds of N per acre, during the application time of October -
November and February -March. Please specify if this is Annual ryegrass or Cereal ryegrass.
• Coastal Bermudagrass, with a nitrogen (N) uptake of 300 pounds of N per acre, during the application
time of April -September.
• The NCSU Guidance Memorandum to Technical Specialists dated .Tune 29, 1998 states that only 50
pounds of nitrogen per acre should be applied to cereal rye or annual ryegrass overseeded into Bermuda
grass. Current guidance allows for 100 pounds of nitrogen per acre under strict management practices

Memorandum
TO: North Carolina Certified Technical Specialists
FROM: Dr. Jim Green, Chairman
NC State University Forage roducbon.Workgroup
DATE: June 29, 1998 �/
SUBJECT: Crop Management Practices for Select Forages
Used in Waste Management
The following is a four -page summary of suggestions for management practices for some
forage crops that can be used in waste management plans. These suggestions are a result of
discussions within the NC State University Forage Production Workgroup, a group comprised
of NC State faculty and MRCS agency personnel with expertise with the crops. -
There are limited documented research responses of some of these practices on the many soils
and environments where these crops are currently being grown. The Forage Production
Workgroup has taken the available data and used the combined experiences and realistic
estimates of key people to come up with suggestions that will allow farmers to incorporate
these crops and practices into waste management plans. As data become available to
substantiate or refute these suggestions, the Forage Production Workgroup will make
appropriate changes.
Bermuda Overseeded With Cereal Rye and Annual Regrms
Currently two types of `Yeegrass" are being used for winter overseedmg in fields used for
animal waste management. Cereal rve is a winter annual smallgrain that loops similar to
wheat, barley and oats. Annual rv_enrass is a winter annual grass that looks much like tall
fescue. Both of these grasses, when growing during the winter on bermuda sod, can have
significant impact on subsequent bermuda yields. In effect, the total yields from an acre
growing the combination of bermuda with these winterannuals will usually yield between 1-2
tons more per acre than bermuda growing alone for the year. Therefore, the total amount of
PAN /acre for the year is about 100. lbs more than for bermuda alone. Although cereal rye and
annual ryegrass are suitable crops for overseeding, the management ofthe crops are different
and thus practices implemented are dependent on the crop selected.

Cereal Rye
The cereal rye should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter
growth.. The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling rye into short (less than 3
inches tall) bermudagrass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short
bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate
for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last
application of animal waste is to be applied to the Bermuda prior to August .31. An
application of 50 lWacre of Plant Available N (PAN) may be applied between September 15
and October 30. An additional 501bslacre of PAN may be applied in February -March. If rye
growth is harvested on time and does not significantly shade the bermuda, PAN rates for the
subsequent bermuda crop are based on realistic yields of bermuda. A harvest is required prior
to heading or April 7, which ever comes first. This is necessary to minimi the potential for
shading Bermuda and reducing its yields. The PAN rate for grazed systems with bermuda
overseeded with cereal rye must be reduced in accordance L with NRCS Technical
Standard #590.
Annual Ryegrass
Annual ryegrass should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter
growth The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling ryegrass into short (less than 3
inches tall) bermudagrass sod if -drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short
bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate
for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last
application of animal waste is to be applied to the - bermuda prior to August 31. An
application of 50 lbs/acre of (PAN) may be applied between September 15 and October 30.
An additional 50 lbs/acre of PAN may be applied in February -March. If additional PAN is
applied to the ryegrass in April --May, the PAN rate for the bermuda mist be reduced by a
corresponding amount. This is necessary because ryegrass growth during April -May will
reduce Bermuda yields and shorten the time bermuda can fully utilize the N. A harvest is
required by heading or April 7, which ever comes first to prevent shading of emerging
bermuda during April -May period. To favor the production of the bermuda, additional
harvests of ryegrass will be required when the ryegrass canopy reaches 12 to 15 inches height.
The PAN rate for grazed systems with bermuda owseeded with annual ryegrass must be
reduced in accordance with NRCS Technical Standard #590.

Eastern Gamagrass
Limited data are available on the response of gamagrass to various levels of N and soil types
in North Carolina. However, until. further data is collected, the following guidelines may
be used.
1. On sandy textured soils that are well drain or excessively well drained, gamagrass may -
yield similar to hybrid bermudagrass at similar PAN rates.
2. On heavy textured sods that are poorly to somewhat poorly drained, gamagrass may yield
1.5-3 times more than hybrid i ermuda.
Gamagrass establishes slowly and will not usually produce much harvestable forage during
the establishment year. It is, best to allow the growth during the seedling year to accumulate
for most or all season; if it is to be harvested, it should be done after full seedhead formation
on a majority of the plants. Therefore, PAN for the seedling year should be modified
accordingly. Overseeding gamagrass with winter annuals is not currently advised because the
harvesting or grazing management of the winter annual crops during February -April would be
detrimental to the survival of gamagrass. Gamagrass should not normally be harvested or
grazed below 6-8 inches stubble.
Application rates are to be based on the realistic N rates that address the N needs per ton of
hay, a realistic yield and an appropriate application window. When harvested as hay in the 24-
36 inch stage of growth, the N rate ranges from 40-50 lbs/ton of dry matter. The PAN rate for
grazed systems must be reduced in accordance with NRCS Technical Standard #590.
The application window for gamagrass is slightly earlier than for bermuda; gamagrass starts
growing about 3-4 weeks earlier than Coastal bermudagrass and about 2-3 weeks earlier than
Tifton 44. Gamaerass is dormant from frost to March. The last application of PAN in the
summer should be prior to August 31.
Rescuegrass (Le. Matua)
Rescuegrass is a cool season grass and makes most of its growth from March -June and
September -November. It should receive most of its N during the September -October and late
February through May months. Limited data are available for realistic yields of rescuegrass
on various soils and at various N levels in North Carolina. However, until further data is
collected the following suggestions may be useful-
I.- On sandy, well drained to excessively drained soils,' rescuegrass may yield 1.5- 3 times
fescue, assuming a uniform and dense stand of grass is present.

2. On wet or poorly drained soils, rescuegrass may yield .75 -1.0 tinges as much as fescue.
3. On soils where both are well adapted the yields of rescuegrass may be 1-1.5 times more
than fescue.
The above RYE estimates assume that stand density is maintained through natural reseeding
every year. Although rescuegrass is a "perennial" it does not maintain dense, satisfactory
stands unless it is allowed to reseed every year. Even under this management it is likely that
disease will affect one or more growths in some years. -
Application rates are to be based on the realistic N rates that'address the N needs per ton of
hay, a realistic yield and an appropriate application window. When harvested as hay, the N
rate is similar to other cool season grasses such as fescue, ranging from 40-50 lbs/ton.
Rescuegrass may also continue some growth in June -August if moisture is available. During
these off-seasons, rescuegrass should not receive more than about 25 lbs N/acrelmonth. Only
apply 25 ibs N/acre in June -August if the equivalent of I -inch of water can be applied -at the
same time. If the crop does not respond with at least a 1000 lbs of growth within a 3-5 week
period do not make another application until the plants have had the opportunity to use the
previous application.

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 31-570
Duplin County
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. IRRI, IRR2, DRYI, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR1, SLUR2,
SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the
DWQ staff at [phone] ext. 571.

Dear Mr. Maredy:
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.

Dear Mr. Maredy:
This is to inform you that your completed registration form required by the recently
modified nondischarge rule has been received by the Division of Environmental Management
(DEM), Water Quality Section.
On December 10, 1992 the Environmental Management Commission adopted a water
quality rule which governs animal waste management systems. The goal- of the rule is for
animal operations to be managed such that animal waste is not discharged to surface waters
of the state. The rule allows animal waste systems to be "deemed permitted" if certain
minimum criteria are met (15A NCAC 2H .Q217). By submitting this registration you have
met one of the criteria for being deemed permitted.
. We would like to remind you that existing feedlots which meat the size thresholds
listed in the rule, and any new or expanded feedlots constructed between February 1, 1993
and December 31, 1993 must submit a signed certification form to DEM by December 31,'
1997. New or expanded feedlots ,constructed after December 31, 1993 must obtain signed
certification before animals are stocked on the farm. Certification of an approved animal
waste management plan can be obtained after the Soil and Water Conservation Commission
adopts rules later this year.
We appreciate you providing us with this information. If you have any question about
the new nondischarge rule, please contact David Harding at [phone].

(Design Capacity)
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should
be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields
where 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 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
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.'
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content
for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis
report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on
proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for
analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A
NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runofl� drift, manmade
conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land
application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal
discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of S 10,000 per day by the
Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues.
2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either
owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste.
If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall
provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement (sample enclosed) with a landowner
who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste
application for the life expectancy of the production facility. It is the responsibility of
the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there
is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization,
or available land.
3. Animal waste shall_be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic
crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions,
and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of
application for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS)
or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be
no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used
where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to 'Buffers"
required by DEM. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390
(Interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers.]
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when the wind is blowing.
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" in the Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.)

7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that
runoff does not occur 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 conditions conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application..
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when
the surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no
more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered.
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
on bare soil.
11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance

This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking,
overflowing or running off site. You should not wait until wastes reach surface waters
or leave you property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every
effort to ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be posted in an accessible
location for all employees at the facility. The following are some action items you should
take.
1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may ore may not be
possible. Suggested responses to some possible problems are .listed belwo.
A. Lagoon overflow -possible solutions are:
a. Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam.
b. Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate.
c. Stop all flows to the lagoon immediately.
d. Call a pumping contractor.
e. Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon.
B. Runoff from waste application field -actions include:
a. Immediately stop waste application.
b. Create a temporary diversion to contain waste.
c. Incorporate waste to reduce runoff.
d. Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s) that cause the runoff.
e. Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred.
C. Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinklers -action include:
a. Stop recycle pump.
b. Stop irrigation pump.
c. Close valves to eliminate further discharge.
d. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
D.. Leakage from flush systems, houses, solid separators -action include:
a. Stop recycle pump.
b. Stop irrigation pump.
c. Make sure siphon occurs.
d. Stop all flows in the house, flush systems, or solid separators.
E. Leakage from base or sidewali of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed
to flowing leaks -possible action:
a. Dig a small sump or ditch from the embankment to catch all
seepage, put in a submersible pump, and pump back to lagoon.
b. If holes are caused by bwr4mving animals, trap or remove animals and fill
holes and compact with a clay type soil.
c. Have a professional evaluate.the condition of the side walls and lagoon
bottom as soon as possible.

2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages.
a. Did the waste reach any surface waters?
b. Approximately how much was released and for what duration?
c. Any damage notes, such as employee injury, fish kills, or property damage?
d. Did the spill leave the property?
e. Does the spill have the potential to reach surface waters?
f. Could a future rain event cause the spill to reach surface waters?

approval of the State Veterinarian must be attached)

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.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN
Proper lagoon liquid management should be a year-round priority. It is especially
important to manage levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and
wet periods.
Maximum -storage capacity should be available in the Iagoon for periods when the
receiving crop is dormant (such as wintertime for bermudagrass) or when there are
extended rainy sells such as the thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means
that at the first signs of plant growth in the later winter/early spring, irrigation according to
a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the land is dry enough to
receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet
periods. In the late summer/early fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the low
marker (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage. Every effort should be made to
maintain the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as long as the weather and waste
utilization plan will allow it.
Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before starting to
irrigate does not leave room for storing excess water during extended wet periods.
Overflow from the lagoon for any reason except a 25-year, 24-hour storm. is a violation of
state law and subject to penalty action.
The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following:
Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam.
Fescue or common bermudagrass are the most common vegetative
covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year, if needed, to
maintain a vigorous strand. The amount of fertilizer applied should be
based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not practical to obtain
a soils test each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas
should be fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or
equivalent.
Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may be
done by mowing, spraying, grazing, chopping, or a combination of
these practices. This should be done at least once a year and
possibly twice in years that weather conditions are favorable for
heavy vegetative growth.
NOTE: If vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to enter
the lagoon water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating
the waste.
Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of
the lagoon and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. Items to be
checked should include, as a minimum, the following:
Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes ---look for:
1. separation of joints
2. cracks or breaks
3. accumulation of salts or minerals
4. overall condition of pipes

i
Lagoon surface ---look for:
1. undesirable vegetative growth
2. floating or lodged debris
Embankment ---look for:
1. settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes
2. side slope stability ---slumps or bulges
3. wet or damp areas on the back slope
4. erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result of wave action
5. rodent damage
Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong
winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon dam.
A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action. If
wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffles in the lagoon may be
used to reduce the wave impacts.
Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam. If your lagoon has
any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with design and
construction of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary fix if there is a threat
of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the
technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious
undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless
recommended by an appropriate technical expert.
Transfer Pumps ---check for proper operation of:
1. recycling pumps
2. irrigation pumps
Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or grinding
noise, or a large amount of vibration, may indicate that the pump is in need or repair or
replacement.
NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that you
are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform your pumping
system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This will allow some
safety time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly full lagoon is not the time
to think about switching, repairing , or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is full,
your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an inventory of spare
parts or pumps.
Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface
drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets,
and parking Iot runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste
treatment or storage structures. The only water that should be
coming from your lagoon is that which comes from your flushing
(washing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon directly.
You should inspect your diversion system for the following:
1. adequate vegetation
2. diversion capacity
3. ridge berm height

Identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system
during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to
determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts.
You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then
record the level again 4 to b hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This will
give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount
(you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in
planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may
have an inflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the
lagoon from the surrounding land.
Lagoon Operation
Startup:
1. Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil
surfaces to avoid erosion. .
2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before
waste loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes.
3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender on the
end of the pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial
filling or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of
the lining.
4. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize
bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather).
5. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy
working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full lagoon
liquid volume. This seeding should occour at least two weeks prior to the
addition of wastewater.
b. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below
7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of 1 pound per 1000 cubic feet of
lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid
pH is between 7.5 and 8.0.
7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate
biological activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is recommended
if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm
season.
Loading:
The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the better the
lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily are
optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained
and recharged each day, also work well.

proper lagoon sizing,
mechanical solids separation of flushed waste,
gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or
minimizing feed wastage and spillage.
Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will:
have more nutrients,
have more odor, and
require more land to properly use the nutrients.
Removal techniques:
Hire a custom applicator.
Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper -agitator impeller
pump through large -bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland;
and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; mix remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator; haul
and spread onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; dredge sludge 'from lagoon with dragline or sludge barge; berm
an area beside lagoon to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back
into lagoon; allow sludge to dewater; haul and spread with manure spreader
onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste
constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different
nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields will be
limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field and crop
requirement. Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3.
When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage. Close
attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner remains
intact. If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should
stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can be
removed without Iiner injury. If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as
possible.
Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and heavy metal content
than liquid. Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus
and metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of
erosion. Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil -test phosphores, it
should be applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other
wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value.
The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site.
Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which
could increase the concern of neighbors.

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

Dear Mr. Maready:
The Non -Discharge Permitting Unit has completed a preliminary engineering review of the subject application.
Additional information -is required before we can continue our review. Please address the following by October 19, 2000:
1. Please provide a copy of your irrigation design specifications. This should include the pressure at nozzle
(p_s.i); nozzle sizes; pump, mainline and irrigation equipment (lateral sprinklers, travelling gun, etc.) used.
You should provide a diagram showing the location of the mainline from the waste collection site to the field
application site, include the wetted diameter of the application area. Include any technical documentation
provided with your system at time of installation.
2. Please revise the irrigation parameters listed in your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) on page 4, to meet
current waste application recommendations. Your WUP has an application amount of 1.3 inches which
exceeds current recommendations. It is currently recommended that total application amounts not exceed one
inch in any application event for any soil type. Please have your Technical Specialist revise your WUP to
reflect the appropriate application amount per event. If the rates exceed the recommended one inch, please
have your Technical Specialist justify the increased application rate in the narrative of your WUP.
3. Please provide a clearer map that identifies (use a marker to outline or highlight) and shows the acreage for
each field to be used for waste application.
4. Please provide the Realistic Yield Expectation (R.Y.E) for the crops listed on page 2, Table 1 of your Waste
Utilization Plan (WUP). It has listed:
• Rye cover, with a nitrogen (N) uptake of 50 pounds of N per acre, during the application time of October -
November and February -March. Please specify if this is Annual ryegrass or Cereal ryegrass.
• Coastal Bermudagrass, with a nitrogen (N) uptake of 300 pounds of N per acre, during the application
time of April -September.
• The NCSU Guidance Memorandum to Technical Specialists dated June 29, 1998 states that only 50
pounds of nitrogen per acre should be applied to cereal rye or annual ryegrass overseeded into Bermuda
grass. Current guidance allows for 100 pounds of nitrogen per acre under strict management practices
as mentioned in the memo included with this letter.

Memorandum
TO: North Carolina Certified Technical Specialists
FROM: Dr, Jim Green, Chairman
NC State University Forage roduction-Workgroup
DATE. June 29, 1998 �/
SUBJECT: Crop Management Practices for Select Forages
Used in Waste Management
The following is a four -page summary of suggestions for management practices for some
forage crops that can be used in waste management plans. These suggestions are a result of
discussions within the NC State University Forage Production Workgroup, a group comprised
of NC State faculty and NRCS agency personnel with expertise with the .crops.
There are limited documented research responses of some of these practices on the many soils
and environments where these crops are currently being grown. The Forage Production
Workgroup has taken the available data and used the combined experiences and realistic
estimates of key people to come up with suggestions that will allow farmers to incorporate
these crops and practices into waste management plans. As data become available to
substantiate or refute these suggestions, the Forage Production Workgroup will make
appropriate changes.
Bermuda Overseeded With Cereal Rye and Annual Ryegrass
Currently two types of ` ryegrass" are being used for winter overseeding in fields used for
animal waste management. Cereal rve is a winter annual smallgrain that looks similar to
wheat, barley and oats. Annual rvegrass is a winter annual grass that Iooks much Itice tall
fescue. Both of these grasses, when growing during the winter on bermuda sod, can have
significant impact on subsequent bermuda yields. In effect, the total yields from an acre
growing the combination of Bermuda with these winter annuals will usually yield between 1-2
tons more per acre than bermuda growing alone for the year. Therefore, the total amount of
PAN /acre for the year is about 100 Is more than for bermuda alone. Although cereal rye and
annual ryegrass are suitable crops for overseeding, the management of the crops are different
and thus practices implemented are dependent on the crop selected.

Cereal Rye
The cereal rye should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter
growth. The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling rye into short (less than 3
inches tall) bermudagrass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short
bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate
for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last
application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior to August 31. An
application of 50 lbs/acre of Plant Available N (PAN) may be applied between September 15
and October 30. An additional 50 lbstacre of PAN may be applied in February -March if rye
growth is harvested on time and does not significantly shade the bermuda, PAN'rates for the
subsequent bermuda crop are based on realistic yields of bermuda. A harvest is required prior
to heading or April 7. which ever comes first. This is necessary to minimize the potential for
shading bermuda and reducing its yields. The PAN rate for grazed systems with bermuda
overseeded with ' cereal rye must be reduced in accordance with NRCS Technical
Standard #590.
Annual Ryegrass
Annual ryegrass should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter
growth The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling._ry_egmss_into_short_(less_than_3 —
inches tall) bermudagrass —sod.—If -drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short
bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate
for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last
application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior to August 31. An
application of 50 lbs/acre of (PAN) may be applied between September 15 and October 30.
An additional 50 lbs/acre of PAN may be applied in February -March. If additional PAN is
applied to the ryegrass in April -May, the PAN rate for the bermuda must be reduced by a
corresponding amount.This, is necessary because ryegrass growth during April -May will
reduce Bermuda yields and shorten the time bermuda can fully utilize the N. A harvest is
required by heading or April 7, which ever comes first to prevent shading of emerging
bermuda during April -May period. To favor the production of the bermuda, additional
harvests of ryegrass will be required when the ryegrass canopy reaches 12 to 15 inches height.
The PAN rate for grazed systems with bermuda overseeded with annual ryegrass must be
reduced in accordance with NRCS Technical Standard #590.

Eastern Gamagrass
Limited data are available on the response of gamagrass to various levels of N and soil types
in North Carolina. However, until further data -is collected, the following guidelines may
be used.
1. On sandy textured soils that are well drain or excessively well drained, gamagrws may -
yield similar to hybrid bermudagrass at similar PAN rates.
2. On heavy textured sons that are poorly to somewhat poorly drained, gamagrass may yield
1.5-3 times more than hybrid bermuda.
Gamagrass establishes slowly and will not usually produce much harvestable forage during
the establishment year. It is best to allow the growth during the seedling year to accumulate
for most or all season; if it is to be harvested, it should be done after full seedhead formation
on a majority of the plants. Therefore, PAN for the seedling year should be modified
accordingly. Overseeding gamagrass with winter annuals is not -currently advised because the
harvesting or grazing management of the winter annual crops during February -April would be
detrimental to the survival of gamagrass. Gamagrass should not normally be harvested or
grazed below 6-8 inches stubble.
Application rates are to be based on the realistic N rates that address the N needs per ton of
hay, a realistic yield and an appropriate application window. When harvested as hay in the 24-
36 inch stage of growth, the N rate ranges from 40-50 Ibs/ton of dry matter. The PAN rate for
grazed systems must be reduced in accordance with NRCS Technical Standard #590.
The application window for gamagrass is slightly earlier than for bermuda; gamagrass starts
growing about 3-4 weeks earlier than Coastal bermudagrass and about 2-3 weeks earlier than
Tifton 44. Gamagrass is dormant from frost to March. The last application of PAN in the
summer should be prior to August 31.
Rescuegrnss (ie. Matua)
Rescuegrass is a cool season grass and makes most of its growth from March -June and
September -November. It should receive most of its N during the September -October and late
February through May months. Limited data are available for realistic yields of rescuegrms
on various soils and at various N levels in North Carolina,. However, until further data is
collected the following suggestions may be useful.
1. On sandy, well drained to excessively drained soils, resc-uegrass may yield 1.5,- 3 times
fescue, assuming a uniform and dense stand of grass is present.

2. On wet or poorly drained soils, rescuegrass may yield .75 -1.0 times as much as fescue.
3. On soils where both are well adapted the yields of rescuegrass may be 1-1.5 times more
than fescue.
The above RYE estimates assume that stand density is maintained through natural reseeding
every year. Although rescuegrass is a "perennial" it does not maintain dense, satisfactory
stands unless it is allowed to reseed every year. Even under this management it is likely that
disease will affect one or more growths in some years.
Application rates are to be based on the realistic N rates that 'address the N needs per ton of
bay, a realistic yield and an appropriate application window. When barvested as hay, the N
rate is similar to other cool season grasses such as fescue, ranging from 40-50 lbs/ton.
Rescuegrass may also continue some growth in June -August if moisture is available. During
these off-seasons, rescuegrass should not receive more than about 25 Ibs N/acre/month- Only
apply 25 Is N/acre in June -August if the equivalent of 1-inch of water can be applied -at the
same time. If the crop does not respond with at least a 1000 lbs of growth within a 3-5 week
period do not make another application until the plants have had the opportunity to use the
previous application - -- - - —� — --

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: I

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
S. 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.)
900 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year =.1710 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
900 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 2070 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 bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing,
hay and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed
when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle
should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four
inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed
for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small
grain to reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too
high and this will definitely interfere with stand of
bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced
yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than
cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as
is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small
grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or
silage two to three times during the season, depending on
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The .ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late
September or early October. Drilling is recommended over
broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a
height of about two inches before drilling for best results.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the
usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches,
odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving
full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total
acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the
acres shown in the tables.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for.the utilization of
animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land
application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient
rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application
of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce
approximately 333 pounds of plant available nitrogen per .year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 1665
pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid
bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you
will need 5.55 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 13.32 acres
of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25o depending on your
sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application
methods.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the
soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs.- This
rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil
texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount
should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the
time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed
the nitrogen needs of the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan,
it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure
that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres
shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and

amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application
rates and amounts.

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 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.

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

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