Box 856 Warsaw, NC 28398 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: 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. 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. RE:CEJTV�+ 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the pot"?' 2 8 2003 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 theBVe or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. 1 of 11 RECEIVED 1 DENR 1 DWQ Agiiifpr ProtPrtinn Section MAY 14 2009 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.

LAND UTILIZATION SUMMARY The following table describes the nutrient balance and land utilization rate for this facility Note that the Nitrogen Balance for Crops indicates the ratio of the amount of nitrogen produced on this facility to the amount of nitrogen that the crops under irrigation may uptake and utilize in the normal growing season. Total Irrigated Acreage: 38.21 Total N Required 1 st Year: 13345.25 Total N Required 2nd Year: 0 Average Annual Nitrogen Requirement of Crops: 13,345.25 Total Nitrogen Produced by Farm: 13,082.40 Nitrogen Balance for Crops: (262.85) `See Additional Comments on Page 7 The following table describes the specifications of the hydrants and fields that contain the crops designated for utilization of the nitrogen produced on this facility. This chart describes the size, soil characteristics, and uptake rate for each crop in the specified crop rotation schedule for this facility. 2of11 Reception.• Tract Hydrant Tr-rigated soHl -Ist Cr-O-P Time to Ist Crop lst Crop Lbs NJAc Lbs N ToW lbs N Acreage Type Code .... ..

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. 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. 4ot11 SLUDGE APPLICATION: The following table describes the annual nitrogen accumulation rate per animal in the lagoon sludge Farm Specifications PANT rlanimal Farm Totallyr Farrow to Wean 0.84 Farrow to Feeder 1 Farrow to Finish 4,1 Wean to Feeder 0.072 7200 Feeder to Finish 0.36 2592 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 2592 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year will accumulate in the lagoon sludge based on the rates of accumulation listed above. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 12960 pounds of plant available nitrogen to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermuda grass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 43 acreas of land. if you apply the sludge to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 103.68 acres of land. Please note that these are only estimates of the PAN produced and the land required to utilize that PAN. Actual values may only be determined by sampling the sludge for plant available nitrogen content prior to application Actual utilization rates will vary with soil type, crop, and realistic yield expectations for the specific application fields designated for sludge application at time of removal. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION: The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. `This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations, the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions. Your facility is designed for >180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm. It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste. 5 of 11 Application Rate Guide The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

The Amounts of Waste and Plant Available Nitrogen Produced per year as shown in the tables on page 2 of this plan are the typical amounts that are used in the absence of actual "On -Farm" records. However, site specific data from 1999-2002 and the NCCES Publication AG-439-42 was used to determine the Average Amounts of Waste and Plant Available Nitrogen produced at this facility. The number used in this plan for Total Lbs. PAN/Year is 20% hiaher than the Total Lbs. PAN/Year generated by using the publication. Attached is a consolidation of that data. Producer may substitute small grain for the matua if desired. The application rates and times are the same for either. 7of11 NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN CERTIFICATION Name of Farm: 3090; Fac.

Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 2 There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the waste, helshe shall provide evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, recievinq crop 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). Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land application field. 5 When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance). 7 Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor and flies. 8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen_ 9 of 11 NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 9 Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10 Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11 Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995, shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. 12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14 Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided the fields have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16 Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 10 of 11 NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 18 If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19 Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20 Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption, it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21 Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22 Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for a minimum of five years. 23 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. 11 of 11 BOC Farm 3090 PWl Gel.

As well as a record keeping tool, this system was designed so that it would serve as a checks and balance between the handheld computer and the operator in the field. For example: When a operator in the field is making preparations to begin an irrigation event, he will calculate how long he may run the event, keeping in mind the PAN applied and gallons applied per acre. After he has calculated the length of the event, it is entered into a handheld computer which will also calculate what PAN will be applied and the amount of water that will be applied per acre, if the event is run for the time entered. If a nutrient or hydraulic over application will occur from the planned event, the handheld will not accept the given data forcing the technician to change the length of the event. On December 16, 2008 during a routine Soil and Water Inspection, Will Burke, John College and Patrick Fussell found an irrigation event that had exceeded 27,154 gallons per acre. The event occurred on farm 30903 in zone 4 that occurred on 10-29-08 on the small grain overseed crop, which applied 30,765 gallons per acre. This was noted in their inspection report. The LWMS system should have not allowed this event to be saved in the system. After investigating this event, and making sure their was no error on the part of the operator who entered the event, it was discovered that there was a program error in the LWMS system that allowed the operator to enter the event that allowed the hydraulic over application to occur without notifying him of the over application. The LWMS system should have forced him to adjust his application times before he began the event. Murphy Brown is continually striving for environmental excellence, and the implementation of the LWMS system is helping us meet this goal. This minor error in the program is very insignificant when you consider the vast number of irrigation events that have been successfully entered since we began using the system in March of this year. Even though there is not a great chance of this being a problem in the future, we are currently having Taylor Data Systems correct the problem with the program to ensure this will not be repeated in the future. In addition to correcting the program error, training with the operator that entered the event has already taken place, and training with all operators in the field to inform them of the problem is scheduled. • Page 2 If I can be of any further assistance, please feel free to contact me.

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. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. 1 of 8 M800107030021 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.

LAND UTILIZATION SUMMARY The following table describes the nutrient balance and land utilization rate for this facility Note that the Nitrogen Balance for Crops indicates the ratio of the amount of nitrogen produced on this facility to the amount of nitrogen that the crops under irrigation may uptake and utilize in the normal growing season. Total Irrigated Acreage: 38.21 Total N Required 1st Year: 13345.25 Total N Required 2nd Year: 0 Average Annual Nitrogen Requirement of Crops: 13,345.25 Total Nitrogen Produced by Farm: 13,082.40 ' Nitrogen Balance for Crops: (262.85) 'See Additional Comments on Page 7 The following table describes the spe6tications of the hydrants and fields that contain the crops designated for utilization of the nitrogen produced on this facility. This chart describes the size, soil characteristics, and uptake rate for each crop in the specified crop rotation schedule for this facility.

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. 1n fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e. April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definately interfere with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the time small grain is planted in the fall. The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results.

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 2592 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year will accumulate in the lagoon sludge based on the rates of accumulation fisted above. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 12960 pounds of plant available nitrogen to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermuda grass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 43 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 103.68 acres of land. Please note that these are only estimates of the PAN produced and the land required to utilize that PAN. Actual values may only be determined by sampling the sludge for plant available nitrogen content prior to application Actual utilization rates will vary with soil type, crop, and realistic yield expectations for the specific application fields designated for sludge application at time of removal. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION: The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. 'This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations, the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions. Your facility is designed for >180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm. It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste. 5 of 8 MB00107030025 Application Rate Guide The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

However, site specific data from 1999-2002 and the NCCES Publication AG-439-42 was used to determine the Average Amounts of Waste and Plant Available Nitrogen produced at this facility. The number used in this plan for Total Lbs. PAN/Year is 20% higher than the Total Lbs. PANNear generated by using the publication. Attached is a consolidation of that data. Producer may substitute small grain for the matua if desired. The application rates and times are the same for either.

Farrow to Wean Farrow to Feeder Farrow to Finish Wean to Feeder Feeder to Finish 7200 Storage Structure: Storage Period: Application Method: Anaerobic Lagoon >180 days 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. 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. 1 of 8 BOW 19060069 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.

LAND UTILIZATION SUMMARY The following table describes the nutrient balance and land utilization rate for this facility Note that the Nitrogen Balance for Crops indicates the ratio of the amount of nitrogen produced on this facility to the amount of nitrogen that the crops under irrigation may uptake and utilize in the normal growing season. Total Irrigated Acreage: 44.73 Total N Required 1st Year: 17904.4 Total N Required 2nd Year: 0 Average Annual Nitrogen Requirement of Crops: 17,904.40 Total Nitrogen Produced by Farm: 16,560.00 Nitrogen Balance for Crops: (1,344.40) The following table describes the specifications of the hydrants and fields that contain the crops designated for utilization of the nitrogen produced on this facility. This chart describes the size, soil characteristics, and uptake rate for each crop in the specified crop rotation schedule for this BOW 9050079 facility. 2 of 8 Reception Area Specifications • 11' •1 • • •' • : • B00101130071 3(a)of8 B00119050071 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. 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.

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 2592 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year will accumulate in the lagoon sludge based on the rates of accumulation listed above. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 12960 pounds of plant available nitrogen to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermuda grass hayiand at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 43 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 103.68 acres of land. Please note that these are only estimates of the PAN produced and the land required to utilize that PAN. Actual values may only be determined by sampling the sludge for plant available nitrogen content prior to application Actual utilization rates will vary with soil type, crop, and realistic yield expectations for the specific application fields designated for sludge application at time of removal. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION: The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. It surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. `This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations, the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation_ The maximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions. Your facility is designed for >180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6 months. in no instance should the volume of the waste stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm. It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in B00119050073 determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste. 5of8 B0010111 0 I f J Application Rate Guide The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

Senate Bill 1217 further requires that each certified animal waste management system operator obtain six hours of approved continuing education training during each three-year period following initial certification. An operator who fails to complete the required training within 30 days of the end of the three-year period must take and pass the examination for certification in order to become recertified. According to Division records, Bradley Herring is the designated Operator in Charge for your animal waste management system. However, Mr. Herring is no longer a certified animal waste management system operator because he did not complete the six hours of required continuing education training by December 31, 2000. Therefore, you must designate a properly certified animal waste management system operator as the Operator in Charge for your facility. The enclosed designation form must be returned to this office within 30 days of receipt of this letter. This office maintains a list of certified operators in your area if you need. assistance in locating a certified operator.

Accurate Liquid Level Measurements_ A simple, but axcssary, step is to ensure that liquid levels are being accurately measured to preverit overestimating or underestimating the current liquid level for each lagoon. This process includes verifying the elevations of the gruff gauges with the actual top of dike elevations for each impoundment with a reported liquid level freeboard of less titan 19 inches, Soil Moisture Condition Analysis. The iicest and most efficient say of towering the liquid levels is ID llbir Mp5pay il17Ti411 i jPrs.inT4 for these facilities for wastewater e$luent agplicxtion i aa: main constraint on operating tires:, systems to !heir design mpabtliry the past 2-3 weeks has bwr; a problem of hydrology. The recant snow and nightly freezing conditions has left most application fields, as specified in the waste management plan for each facility, at soil moisture levels above fieie condition. To prevent run-off and still perform effluent applications at every available opportunity, me environmental management staff, including our staff' Crop Specialist and TevWcal Specialist are assisting our field personnel with moisture conditioa This also includes makuig frequent, micrc- appiications(C0.25` applications) with our existing irrigation equipment to reduce surface infiltration impacts associated with heavier applications. 3. lntensifled Fresh Water Conservation. The Production Staff at Brown's of Carolina had adopted and Emergency Fresh water Conservation Plan whirl[ outlines steps Lobe tarkeri to reduce fresh seaterusage on our facilities. Ttiic includes reduced sanitation practices. Although this compromises The bimecurity of the facilities, it is a method of radu ing liquid input into the impoundments. In addition, as further means of policing influent amounts, fresh, water usage is measured daily on all facilities operating with less than 19 ,inches of freeboard. Page 3 of 4 4. Evaluation of Alternative EMuem Storage. An immedi= short-term aid for some funs may be to obtain additional efliumd storage within the facility, itself_ An example would be to mAc sure that the overflows for each pull -plug fcility are set to the correct elevation. A l'ew inches of storage may be obtained in some pits in this manner. Also, the possibility e3dsts in temporarily convMmg some flush barns to pit — recharge to gain additional storage capacity. 5. implementation of AlWmativa waste Application Sites. As many of the particularly well drainW, or "drier" soil -type hydmuts are ap roadring the application goal of plant Available nitrogen (PAN) due to the post -Floyd irrigation events, it may be necessary. on some sites, to obtain additional application land via a Nutrient Management Plan (NUP) addendum_ Application of effluent to these receiving sls may r«Nu� ms > 9 IMM MASI MUWK raw -his W WNW personnel, It uwy also require the unplernenlation of "pump and haul"_ in either case, effluent will be APPUad-M thUd 00iiNtiall fietdt d AMIMmia lH and M sgOMW in the addendum of the NW for these sites, created by a certified Technical Specialist. As always, Brown's of Carolina is committed to the compliant operation of all its facilities. Brown's of Carolina recognizes the intensified effort required to manage these higher liquid levels. It is our policy not to place animals in any of our farms in which the impending environmental risk may lead to a discharge or ftutwMrMly GdUV by Mn RkH= of N=§ !n Ow fifilul.

A positive number means additional land is required to utilize the N produced by the animals. This nutrient management plan has been specifically developed for this swine operation. The plan is based on the soil types, crops to be grown, and method of applicdation for this particular operation. The waste must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or ground water. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the ammount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops 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 and annual soil tests are encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing this nutrient management plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environment- ally 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 and leaching potential. Waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than five tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils or on to land when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters. 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 not more than 30 days prior to planting. Soil incorporation of waste will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Annual acreage requirements may be more or less depending upon the waste analysis report for your waste management facility. Additional Comments: Prepared by: Concurred in by Producer Title: _ Date: 97 ►im Date: I understand that I must own or have access to equipment , primarily irrigation equipment, to land apply the animal waste described in this nutrient management plan. This equipment must be available at the appropriate pumping time such that no discharge occurs from the lagoon in a 25-year 1 -day storm event. I also certify that the waste will be applied on the land according to this plan at the appropriate times and at rates which produce no runoff.

The attached map has been delineated to show the area(s) in question. Each area to be cleared has been identified with a symbol to denote its classification. Below is an explanation of the various symbols that may pertain to your map. x NW- Non wetland - Area is non wetland and can be cleared and utilized without violating Farm Bill. This determination of non wetland is only for Farm Bill purposes. You may still need US Army Corp of Engineers and Division of Environmental Management determinations before clearing. The Natural Resources Conservation Service does not have the authority to make wetland determinations for these other two agencies. x W - Wetland - Area is a wetland and should not be cleared for any reason if you wish to remain eligible for USDA programs, receive NRCS technical assistance, or avoid violating US Army Corp of Engineers' and Division of Environmental Management (DEM) regulations. Any exceptions to this statement should be in writing from the Natural Resources Conservation Service prior to clearing land. _x— HEL - Highly Erodible Land - Area is highly erodible and should have a conservation plan developed prior to producing an annual row crop in order to remain eligible for USDA programs. This determination is only for the area delineated on the attached map. If you plan to clear more acreage than that shown on the map, you should request another wetland determination for that area. I have tried to make this determination as fairly as possible_ However if you believe this determination is incorrect, you have the right to appeal. To appeal send me a brief letter explaining why you believe this determination is incorrect. Send the letter to the address on the letterhead. This letter should be received within 15 days of your receipt of this letter. Sincerely, 2hLae E.
