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 apply to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acne annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate Titer 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. RECEIVED I DENR I DWQ AQU1FFP*PPnTFr..T1nN SECTION Page: 1 APR 0 12001 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 faciifty. 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.): 720 animals X 222.65 gal/animal/year = 160308 gallons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN PRODUCED PER YEAR (]be): 720 animals X 0.48 Ibslanimaillyear = 345.60 Ibs 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.

'A negative number reflects the total Ibs of additional nitrogen needed to achieve yields on acreage listed In chart. A positive number means additional acreage is required to utilize the nitropri produced by the farm. NOTE: This plan does not Include corne, I fertilizer. The farm should produce adequate plant available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above. The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements. In the future, regulations may require fanners In some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient I anagement plan that adder all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen. In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermuda), forage must be removed through grazing, hay, arWor sage. 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 sire, care should be exercised riot to let small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e. April or May). Shading may result If small grain gels too high and this will definitely interfere with stand of bermudegrass. 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 she two to three times during the season, depending on the time small grain Is planted in the fall. Page: j The ideal time to lnterpk t small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagmss should be grazed or cut to a height of about two Inches before drilling for best results.

Actual total acres in the fields listed may, and most lkely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. See aftached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. SLUDGE APPLICATION: The waste utiltrstion 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 lion of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 0.072 pounds of plant available nitrogen per animal per year in the sludge based on the application method listed earlier. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 259.20 _pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bemwdagrass hayland at the Page: 4 rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 0.86 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 2.07 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 applications. 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, soll texture, wader droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water trotting 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 Iran is the method of land application for this plan, it Is the responsibility of the producer and 'inigakion designer to ensure that an Irrigation system is Installed to properly irrigate the act so shown In the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown In the tables may make this plan invalid. The fdbwing Is provided as a guide for establishing appication rates and amounts.

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 deemed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no Instance should the volume of the waste stored In your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard exostpt In the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm.

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 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor . problems. • 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be 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.): 720 animals X 222.65 gal/animal/year = 160308 gallons + AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN PRODUCED PER YEAR (lbs): 720 animals X 0.48 Ibstanimallyear = 345.60 Ibs 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.

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

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 0.072 pounds of plant available nitrogen per animal per year in the sludge based on the application method listed earlier. f# you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 259.20 pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the Page: 4 rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 0.86 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to com at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 2.07 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 applications. 0 APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION: The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts. Tract Field Soil Application Rate inmr Application Amount " inches 4775 un1 _TypeCrop FoA G 0.50 0.95 4775 un2 FoA G 0.50 0.95 "This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations, the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions. Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm. It is the responsiability of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance. in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste.

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. 5. 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 a manner that shall be applied on actively the crop is not covered growing crops in such with waste to a depth that Ig would inhibit growth.

Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied preplant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 23. bead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. Page: 10 • + !

EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN PHONE NUMBERS DWQ Oro ` 3 �3S-3Sa o EMERGENCY MANAGEI,MNT SYSTEM 91 I SWCD IvRCS = This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are lealdn& overflowing, or running offsite. You should not wait until wastes reach surface waters or leave your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to ensure that this does not happen. Ihis plaae &City. the following are some action items you should take. I. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be possible. Suggested responses to some possible problems are Iisted below. A Lagoon overflow --possible solutions are: a. Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam. b. Pump waste to fields at an acceptable rate. c. Stop all flows to the lagoon irumediately. d. Call a pumping contractor. e. Nfake sure no surface water is entering lagoon. E. 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 caused the runoff. e. Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred. C. Leakage from the waste pipes and sprirMfers-action include: a- Stop recycle pump. b. Stop irrigation pump. c. Close valves to eliminate further discharge. d. Repair all leeks 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 no siphon occurs. d. Stop all flows in the house, flush systems, or solid separators. e. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps. E. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed to flowing leaks -possible action: a. Dig a small well or ditch to catch all seepage, put in a submersible pump, and pump back to lagoon. b. If holes are caused by burrowing 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 Iagoon bottom as soon as possible. 2. Assess the -extent of the spilt 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 noted, 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? g. Are potable water wells in danger (either on or off of the property)? h. How much reached surface waters? 3. Contact appropriate agencies. a_ During normal business hours, call your DWQ (Division of Water Quality) regional office; Phone -i; C- 3 iY- 3LOL After hours, emergency number: `l! . Your phone call should include: your name, facility, telephone number, the details of the incident from item 2 above, the exact location of the facility, the location or direction of movement of the spill, weather and wind conditions. The corrective measures that have been under taken, and the seriousness of the situation. b, if spill leaves property or enters surface waters, call local EMS Phone number 911. c. Instruct EMS to contact local Health Department_ d. Contact CES, phone number . /r • &/I- a 11/2 , local SWCD office phone number and local NRCS office for advice/technicaI assistance phone number 4. If none of the above works, call 911 or the Sheriffs Department and explain your problem to them and ask that person to contact the proper agencies for you. S.

It is especially important to manage levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and wet periods. Max.i.mum storage capacity should be available in the Iagoon for periods when the receiving crop is dormant (suchAs wintertime for bermudagrass) or when there are extended rainy spells such as the thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means that at the first signs of plant growth in the later winter/early spring, irrigation according to a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the land is dry enough to receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet periods. In the late summer/early fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the low marker (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage. Every effort should be made to maintain the lagoon 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 23-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 darn. Fescue or common bermudagrass are the most common vegetative covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year, if needed, to maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fertilizer applied should be based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not practical to obtain a soils test each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas should be fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or equivalent. Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may be done by mowing, spraying, grazing, chopping, or a combination of these practices. This should be done at least once a year and possibly twice in years that weather conditions are favorable for heavy vegetative growth. NOTE: If vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to- enter the lagoon water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating the waste. Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of the lagoon and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. Items to be checked should include, as a minimum, the following: Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes ---look for: 1. separation of joints 2. cracks or breaks 3. accumulation of salts or minerals 4. overall condition of pipes Lagoon surface ---look for: I. undesirable vegetative growth 2. floating or lodged debris Embankment ---look for: 1. settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes 2. side slope stability ---slumps or bulges 3. wet or damp areas on the back slope T. 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, ;utter outlets, and parking lot runof) -away from your lagoon and other waste treatment or storage structures. The only water that should be coming from your lagoon is that which comes from your flushing (washing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon directly. You should inspect your diversion system for the following: 1. adequate vegetation 2. diversion capacity 3. ridge berm height Identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts. You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This will give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount (you must also be recording yodr rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may have an inflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the lagoon from the surrounding land. Lagoon Operation Startup: Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil surfaces to avoid erosion. 2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before waste loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes. 3. Drainpipes into ,[he 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 Iagoon liquid volume. This seeding should occour at least two weeks prior to the addition of wastewater. 6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below 7.0, add agricultural time at the rate of I 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. FIush 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. N 0. . Manaaement: Practice water conservation ---minimize building water usage and spillage from leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through proper maintenance and water conservation. Minimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This will reduce the amount of solids entering the lagoon Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and the full temporary storage level. Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the minimum liquid level and the maximum liquid lever (Figure 2-1). Start irritating at the earliest possible date in the spring based on nutrient requirements and soil moisture so that temporary storage will be maximized for the summer thunderstorm season. Similarly, irritate in the late summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon, storage for the winter. The lagoon liquid level should never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest point of the dam'or embankment. Do not pump the lagoon liquid level lower that the permanent storage level unless you are removing sludge. Locate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid surface and as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible. Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-stemmed foraae or vegetation, molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon. Frequently remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or wherever they are installed. Maintain strict vegetation, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges. Do not allow trees or lar-e bushes to grow on Iagoon dam or embankment. Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is full or before it fills 50 percent of the permanent storage volume. If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility of a pollutant discharte. Sludae Removal: Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by: 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. Dew•ater the upper part of Iagoon 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 forazeland; 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 svnthetic liner material being disturbed, you should stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can be removed without liner injury. If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as possible. Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and heavy metal content than liquid. Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus and metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of erosion. Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil -test phosphores, it should be applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value. The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site. Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which could increase the concern of neighbors. Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure Lagoon failures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure. Types of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of the dam. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for ensuring structure safety. Items which may lead to Iagoon failures include: Modification of the lagoon structure ---an example is the placement of a pipe in the dam without proper design and construction. (Consult an expert in lagoon design before placing any pipes in dams.) Lagoon liquid levels --high levels are a safety risk. Failure to inspect and maintain the dam. Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon. Liner integrity ---protect from inlet pipe scouring, damage during sludge removal, or rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater table. NOTE: If lagoon water is allQvved 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. Revised April 20, 1999 .

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. ERR], UM, DRY1, DRY2, DRY3, SLURI, SLUR2, SLDI, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an appropriate enforcement action. Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting requirement.

The committee has adopted these documents as the foundation for this and future guidance documents. Also for consistency, the committee has decided to develop guidance documents using the same format as was used in the previous guidance documents. While much of the guidance provided was contained in previous memos, the new Guidance is noted by bold tvoe and underlines. Due to the size of the document and number of topics being addressed in this Guidance Document, it has been completely reformatted. The 3 7 Issues contained in the Fourth and Fifth Guidance Document have been grouped into more appropriate categories of topics and placed into eleven (11) Chapters. It is hoped that this reorganization will make it easier to find answers to questions common to many technical specialist. This guidance is intended to address the common issues involved in implementing the anirnal waste management rules_ Additional guidance will be provided as- necessary to continue to clarity the issues contained in this memorandum as well as new issues that may arise. The nature of the rules will continue to require judgment on the part of the technical specialist. i , August 1, 1997 7.7 1.

No reduction in the 50 pounds is re uired if the small grain is. grazed. Issue: When must the small grain be harvested? . Response:_ In order to ' prevent dama4e to the coastal stand the Certified_ Animal Waste_ ylanagement Plan must specify that the small •rain must be harvested before the heads be}in to form. 1.12. Parts of a Waste Utilization Plan Issue: What items _make up a waste utilization elan (WUP)" Response: A waste utilization plan (WUP) is one part of a total animal waste management- elan._ The WLP should be reported in a format comparable_ to the current MRCS format prior to certification (see -Field Office Tech. Guide IV, Standard 633 - Waste Utilization). The plan should include: • all fields „receiving_ waste are to be listed with tract number. field. number and useable acres for each field; • maps of all fields to be used for waste application: • amount of manure produced and used annually: • waste application method: • all crops_ to be grown by field: • realistic_ vield expectations _(R.Y^E.) of the crops to ,be grown when available and/or agnlicable: • dominant soil series by field for waste application fields when using R.Y.E. nitrogen; • nitrogen application rate by field; • nitrogen balance which ee uals nitrogen applied minus R.Y.E. nitrogen rate in Ibs/acre: • waste application windows based 'on when the receiving crops are actively urowina; 1-5 Ausust 1. 1997 • \'RCS -irrigation parameters and/or calibration information de ending on certification status; • MRCS Standard 633 WUP Required_ Specifications: • emergency action plan- • odor checklist: • insect checklist: • mortality checklist. Cropping options are permissible within a WUP. For_ each option listed. please ensure the, waste management system can adequately store the waste for the time ]eriods between the receiving crop(s)'s waste- application windows. 1.13. Waste Utilization Plan Revisions Issue: What tvpes of changes to a waste utilization plan (WUP) would be considers as revisions. Response: A WU-P revision is a change to a plan in its entirety to meet current applicabie standards._ A WUP mast be revised if the operation cannot utilize all of the nitrogen generated by the _animal production in accordance with the existing WUP. except for the specific conditions noted in the WUP amendment section ( See 1.14 ) . In existing implementable_WUP. a change in crops and/or cropnintr patterns which utilizes more than 25 % of the nitrogen generated by the o eration is considered a plan revision. 1.14. Waste Utilization Plan Amendments Issue: What types of changes to a waste utilization plan . (WUP) would be considers as amendments. Response: A_WUP,amendment is a change and/or addition to -a part(s) of the Dian. and re uire the change and/or addition meet current ap licable standards. • in an existing implernentable NVUP, a change _in crops_ and/or cropping patterns which utilizes no more than 25% of the nitrogen generated by the operation is__considered _a _plan amendment. Additional acreage needed to facilitate the change in crops and/or cropping pattern is permissible and is considered part of the amendment. 1-6 Aucrust 1. 1997 3. LAGOONS AND WASTE STORAGE STRUCTURES 3.1. Lagoon/Waste Structure Closure Plans A. Issue: When is the deadline for the closure of lagoons and storage ponds that are no longer to be used? es onse: Neither the rules or standards specifically establish a date by which these facilities must be properly closed. Registered facilities must however submit a certified animal waste management plan by December 31, 1997 if they wish to remain deemed pernmined. Since lagoons are treatment units until they are closed out. - all animal waste management plans must address all lagoons at the facility, including the lagoons no longer in use. If the facility no longer raises animals, a plan must still be developed for either the close out or management of the lagoon. If the facility does not submit the plan by December 31, 19977 they will no longer be deemed permitted and will be subject to an enforcement action from DWQ for operating without a permit. It is very strongly encouraged that these facilities be closed at the earliest possible date. 'An unclosed lagoon is both a danger to the environment and a liability to the farmer. Until it is properly closed there is a constant threat of a discharge to the surface waters and possible groundwater contamination_ If there is ever a discharge from the structure or groundwater problems are identified, the farmer is subject to enforcement from DWQ for problems associated with either a discharge or groundwater contamination. B. Issue: For animal operations above the threshold numbers specified in ?H .0217 (1S0 swine. 100- cattle. etc.), are closure plans required for abandoned operations or those that will be going out of business? Response: Yes. A closure plan is required unless an Animal Waste Management Plan is developed and maintained for the lagoon/structure. The plan must follow the technical standard adopted by MRCS. Close-out will require management of the liquid in the lagoon and the sludge. Close-out of an operation is eligible under The ACSP depending on the availability of funds. Close-out plans must be approved by a technical specialist. For operations that are already abandoned and are causing a water quality problem. DWQ will issue a letter to the current owner requiring the operation to be properly closed to prevent further pollution and may - also pursue an enforcement action. If a facility was ever pro erly registered or certified above the threshold number of animals. this same requirement aT)Dlies regardless of the number of animal at the facility at the time of closure. C. Issue: An operation of less than the threshold number of animals closed down and the owner wishes to leave the lagoon open. As long as there is no discharge, is a waste management plan required? Response: No. However the landowner will be responsible for any surface or around water contamination from the structure until it is closed. If a decision is 3-1 August 1. 1997 made to close the laaoon/structure, it is strongly recommended that it be closed according to vRCS standards. D. Issue: Can a lagoon be bioremeadiated without the removal of the liquid in the lagoon and the sludge? Response: No. Although the organics in the lagoon can be broken down. metals and nutrients in the sludge will remain. The potential for future discharge of the nutrients and metals to the surface water and/or the groundwater would remain and is not acceptable. E. Issue: Do old lagoons that have not been used for many years need to be desludaed and closed. Response: Yes, the lagoons must be properly closed. It is anticipated that the lagoons will contain enough old sludge that the sludge removal will have be required. Even though the organics may be broken down. the nutrients and the heavy metals that remain must be removed. F. Issue: Is there an animal threshold requirement for closure or is closure required regardless of the size of the operation? Response: There is no size threshold for lagoon or waste storage pond closure. G. Issue: Who determines that closure has been done properly? Response: Verification will be by a technical specialist using the attached Animal Waste Storage Pond and Lagoon Closure Report Form. H. Issue: What will be DWQ's response to lagoons that are filled in prior to the removal of the sludge. Response: This method of close out is completely unacceptable. Once these are identified, it will be the responsibiiiry of the owner to properly close out the lagoon_ Possible actions include but are not limited to a requirement to die out the. fill material and the sludge, Iona term groundwater monitoring and civil penalties. I. Issue: To what level must the waste material be removed from the laaoon/structure prior to closure? Response: In accordance with previous MRCS Standards (Code 998) dated June, 1996, a lagoon could not be certified as closed until it was cleaned to a level where there was "no visible evidence" of waste remaining: Following an evaluation of Code 998, it has been modified by MRCS as of January, 1997 to delete the reference to "no visible evidence" and in its place provide more specific standards. A copy of this updated Standard is,anached. . Issue: Is waste analysis a required part of the close-out plan? Response: Yes. To determine waste application at agronomic rates, the nitrogen levels in both the liquid and solids must be known. K. Issue: If a lagoon is not Going to be closed out, but the operation is going out of business, are monitoring wells required? 3-2 August 1. 1997 Response: No, but DWQ may review the situation for such needs on a case by case basis. L. Issue: If no animals are on site, the 1agoonlstruccure is not going to be closed, and a management plan has been developed for preventing a discharge. must the waste be applied by a certified applicator? Response: No, if DVQ's records show that before January 1. 1997 the animals had zither been removed from the site or were below threshold numbers. M. Issue: What are the penalties for failing to close out an abandoned lagoon? Response: Penalties will only be incurred if the lagoon is not properly managed or a. discharge to surface or ground waters occurs. These penalties may be as high as S 10.000 per violation. N. Issue: If an old Lagoon has the hydrology, vegetation and soils of a wetland, are=:O,1401 permits required for closure? Response: No. O. Issue: Is closure to be part of the overall certification if anew lagoon is to replace an old one? Response: Yes, if the old lagoon/structure is to be closed. P. Issue: Who has the final word on whether a lagoon is closed out, DNVQ or the Technical Specialist? Response: Certification of a lagoon closure is handled like certification of an animal waste management plan for an operation remaining open: The technical specialist verifies that work has been done according to standards and specifications, and the appropriate forms are sent to DVQ which then determines the status of the operation (closed, certified, denial, etc.). To make the status de€ermination DWQ may inspect an operation at any point in the process, whether the operation wishes to retain deemed permitted status or have it's status removed from the records. While the technical specialist in either situation makes the determination that standards have been followed, and DWQ's role is not to second guess the process, legal responsibility for water quality of the state and related permitting issues rests (and always has) with DWQ. 3.2. Lagoons in Wetlands Issue: Are lagoons allowed in wetlands? Response: Lagoons should not be constructed in wetlands. 3-3 august 1, 1997 m SEP-23-98 08:55 PM{ STONEYBROOK FARMS 9102852313 P'82 p"1 2108 HAllaNIN Ruud BeWaOJe.

It was observed that waste had been applied to fields not listed in the Waste Utilization Plan (WUP). All fields on which waste is to be applied must be listed in the CAWMP_ Waste application to the fields not in the WUP should be discontinued until the situation can be corrected. In addition, the level of your waste lagoon must be lowered and maintained and proper records should be kept in accordance with the NRCS guidelines and the state 2H .0200 rules governing animal waste management systems. The fescue crop must be re -seeded in the Fall "of 1998 to ensure that the projected Realistic Yield Expectations can be reached. We suggest that you contact your service company, local NRCS or Soil and Water District office for any assistance they may be able to provide to correct the situation. To remain a deemed permitted facility, you must notify this office in writing within fourteen (14) days of the receipt of this notice, what actions will be taken to comply with your waste management plan.

While no wastewater was reaching State waters at the time of inspection, any rainfall event could likely result in a discharge. As we discussed, steps should be taken immediately to ensure that there is no future overflow from this lagoon. In addition, it was observed that you do not have access to pumping equipment. Arrangements should be made immediately to ensure that you have the capacity to keep your lagoons at an appropriate operating level. We suggest that you contact your service company, local NRCS office, or Soil and Water District office for any assistance they may be able to provide to correct these situations. You must notify this office m writing within seven (7) days of the receipt of this notice, what actions are being taken to correct these deficiencies.

Staff from the Soil and Water office and Brown's of Carolina, visited my farm and suggested that I berm around the drainage pipe in question to keep water from entering until the abandoned lagoon could be properly closed.. I am in the process of closing down the abandoned lagoon. Soil, water and sludge samples were taken today to determine the nitrogen content'of lagoon. Once I have these results, I will determine at what rates the waste should be applied and will follow the Interim Standard for properly closing an abandoned waste facility. I have contacted an irrigation specialist to assist me in installing proper irrigation equipment. I plan to have an irrigation design within the next few weeks. If you have any further questions or need additional information, please feel free to call.

Brock: Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study Commission on Agricultural Waste, enacted by the 1996 North Carolina General Assembly, requires a certified operator for each animal waste management system that serves 250 or more swine by January 1, 1997. The owner of each animal waste management system must submit a designation form to the Technical Assistance and Certification Group which designates an Operator in Charge and is countersigned by the certified operator. The enclosed form must be submitted by January 1, 1997 for all facilities in operation as of that date. Failure to designate a certified operator for your animal waste management system is a violation of 15A NCAC 2H .0224 and may result in the assessment of a civil penalty. If you have questions concerning operator training or examinations for certification, please contact your local North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service agent or our office. Examinations have been offered on an on -going basis in many counties throughout the state for the past several months and will continue to be offered through December 31, 1996. Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions concerning this requirement please call Beth Buffington or Barry Huneycutt of our staff at 919/733-0026. Sincerely, A.

Preston Howard, Jr., P.E., Director February 17, 1994 Garland Brock Rt 1 Box 112C Beulaville NC 28518 Dear Mr. Brock: 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 .0217). 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 meet 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 (copy enclosed) 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 (919) 733-5083. enc: Sincerely, Steve Tedder, Chief Water Quality Section P.O.

The inspection was in response to a complaint made to this office concerning your facility. It was observed that the primary waste lagoon had insufficient freeboard. A second pond/lagoon located next to the primary lagoon appeared to have at least 3 feet of freeboard at this time. No connection between this second pond/lagoon and the waste system was found. It was also observed that the surrounding available spray fields consisted of either dormant coastal bermuda grass or soybeans. USDA-NRCS guidelines require a minimum of one foot and seven inches of freeboard. This is based on the amount of storage space needed to contain a 25-year, 24 hour design storm event without a discharge. NRCS requirements also specify that animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops. And that waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop on bare soil. The level of your primary waste lagoon needs to be lowered and maintained in accordance with the NRCS guidelines and the state 2H .0200 rules governing animal waste management systems. However, as stated above, the surrounding available fields do not appear suitable at this time for application of waste isunder these guidelines. We suggest that you contact your local Soil and Water District office for any assistance they may be able to provide to correct the situation. 127 Cardinal Drive Extension, Wilmington, N.C. 23405-3845 • Telephone 910-395-3900 • Fax 910-350-2004 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer Garland Brock January 26, 1996 Page 2. To remain a deemed permitted facility, all corrective actions must be made within fourteen (14) days. Failure to do so may result in the facility losing it's deemed permitted status, requiring a certified waste management plan and certification form for the facility to be submitted prior to the December 31, 1997 deadline, and being required to obtain an individual- non discharge permit for the facility. Please be aware it is a violation of North Carolina General Statutes to discharge wastewater to the surface waters of the State without a permit. The Division of Environmental Management has the authority to levy a civil penalty of not more than $10,000 per day per violation. When the required corrective actions are complete, please notify this office in writing at the address below. i you have any questions concerning this matter, please call David Holsinger or Dave Adkins at 910-395-3900.
