Dear Mr. Mitchell:
The Division of Water Quality (Division) received your sludge survey information for many of your
farms on May 12, 2010. With the survey results, you requested an extension of the sludge survey
requirement for the lagoons at those facilities. Based on the amounts of treatment volume available, -
the Division feels that sludge survey requirement exemption is appropriate for the lagoons that are
listed on the attached table for the specified period of time. Please pay particular attention to the
number of years a lagoon is exempt from sludge survey requirement.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you have any questions, please call me at (919) 715-

' ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Producer: ELSIE HERRING
Location: 270ALUM SPRINGS RD
MT. OLIVE NC. 28365:
Telephone: [phone]
Type Operation: New Wean to Feeder Swine
Number of Animals: 3200.00 pigs
(Design Capacity)
STORAGE STRUCTURE: Anaerobic Waste Treatment Lagoon
APPLICATION METHOD: Irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a"
specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water _and/or _
groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required -for the crops
in the fields where the waste is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan - uses nitrogen-as'the"-limiting nutrient.
Waste should be 'analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil
tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients " can be
balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in"implementing your waste utilization
plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of'the waste and to
ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner:
1. Always apply waste based on the needs of -the crop to be grown
and the nutrient content of -the waste. Do not apply more
nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration
rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and
available water holding capacities..
3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than
5 tons per acre -per year. Waste may be applied to land
eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than
10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter
strips are established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or
when the surface is frozen. Either -of these conditions may
result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed
under DWQ regulations. -

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and
downwind odor problems.
6., To maximize the. value of. the nutrients for. crop production...
and to,reduce the potential for pollution, the. -waste -should
be applied 'to a• growing crop or applied -not more .thane 30.
days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy.
Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and
reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If
you choose to change methods in'the future, you need to revise this
plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the
same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage
requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your
waste management facility: In some cases you may want to have plant
analysis made, which could allow additional waste to -be applied.
Provisions shall be made .for the area receiving waste to be flexible
so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type.
Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific
crop production.
This waste utiiization'.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.)
3200 pigs x .40 tons waste/pigs/year = 1280 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
3200 pigs.x .48 lbs PAN/pigs/year = 1536 lbs. PAN/year
Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan
time -and .have .appropriate. equipment. to apply the waste in a .timely
manner.
The following -acreage will be needed for waste application based on
the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

plant growth, pumping conditions, and PAN loading rates permit.
In interplanted fields (i.e small grain, etc, interseeded
in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing,
hay and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed
when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle
should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four
inches. in where small.grain, etc, is to be removed
for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small
grain -to reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too
high and this will definitely interfere with stand of
bermud.grass. This loss of stand. will result -in. reduced
yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather ;than
cutting small grain for hay or'silage just before -heading as
is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small -
grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or
silage two to three times during the season, depending on
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late
September or early October. Drilling is recommended over
broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a
height of about two inches before drilling for best results.

Acres shown -in each: of the preceding tables are considered. :to* be - the :
usable acres excluding required buffers,"filter strips along ditches,
odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving
full application rates due to.equipment limitations. Actual total
acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than
the acres shown in the tables.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of
animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land
application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge-will_be-nutrient
rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application
of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce
approximately 243.2 pounds, of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
' CIf you remove the sludge every-5 yea rs,.you'wiii have approximately 1216
pounds -of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this. PAN to .hybrid
bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you
will need 4.05333333333 acres of land. ..If you apply -the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 9.728 acres
of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on your
sludge waste analysis_, soil types, realistic yields,- and application
methods.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the
soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff .or ponding occurs. This
rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil. structure, soil
texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount
should not exceed -the available water holding capacity of the soil at the
time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed
the nitrogen needs of the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan,
At is the responsibility of the producer -and irrigation designer to ensure -
chat an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate -the acres
shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and -

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

In accordance with your application received on Mauch 6, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of
Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Elsie
Herring, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land
application system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000_ . The issuance of this COC
supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS310754 which expires October 1, 2004.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to,'the management
of animal waste from the Elsie and Nick Herring Nursery, located in Duplin County, with an animal
capacity of no greater than an annual average of 3200 Wean to Feeder swine and the application to land
as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to
Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are
unneccessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced
by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2009. Pursuant to. this COC,
you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as
specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting
and maintainiug the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this
facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design rapacity or increase in number
of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAAW and
this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Since this is a revised State
General Permit, it contains new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained in the

Producer: ELSIE HERRING
Location: 270 ALUM SPRINGS RD
MT. OLIVE NC. 28365
Telephone: 919-»658-5252
Type Operation: New Wean to Feeder Swine
Number of Animals: 3200.00 pigs
(Design capacity)
STORAGE STRUCTURE: Anaerobic Waste Treatment Lagoon
APPLICATION METHOD: Irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a
specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water_and/or _
groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops
in the fields where the waste is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen.as the limiting nutrient.
Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil
tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be
balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in'implementing your waste utilization
plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to
ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner:
1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown
and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more
nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration
rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and
available water holding capacities..
3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than
5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land
eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than
10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter
- strips are established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or
when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may
result in runoff'to surface waters which is not allowed
under DWQ regulations.
Page: 1

L _
ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
S. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and
downwind odor problems.
6., To maximize the value of the nutrients for..crop.production.
and to reduce the potential'for pollution, the waste -.-should'
be applied 'to a- growing crop 'or applied -not more .than: 30
days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy.
Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and
reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If
you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this
plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the
same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage
requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your
waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant
analysis made, which could allow additional waste to -be applied.
Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible
so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type.
Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the. optimum range for specific
crop production.
This waste utilization". plant 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.)
3200 pigs x .40 tons waste/pigs/year = 1280 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
3200 pigs.x .48 lbs PAN/pigs/year = 1536 lbs. PAN/year
-Applying the above amount of waste is a- big job. You should plan
time and have appropriate. equipment to apply the waste in a timely
manner.
The following -acreage will be needed for waste application based on
the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

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

-Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered .to be the
usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches,
odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving

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 243.2 pounds. of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the -sludge every:5 years, you will have approximately 1216
pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid
bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you
will need 4.05333333333 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, -you will need 9.728 acres
of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25t depending on your
sludge waste analysis_, soil types, realistic yields, and application
methods.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application. rate should not exceed the, intake rate - of -the
soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff .or ponding occurs. This
rate is limited_ by initial soil moisture content, soil. structure, soil
texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount
should not exceed -the available water holding capacity of the soil at the
time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed
the nitrogen needs of the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan,
it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure
that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate --the acres
shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and -

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

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

Dear!. N�rrlyi',
Enclosed is your lagoon design prepared by �C(1J k /`a /A c and reviewed
and approved by the Soil Conservation Service. This lagoon, asdesigned, meets SCS standards and
specifications. It is the responsibility of the contractor and you to build the lagoon according to the
design. You should contact the swine company to get assistance in the layout of the lagoon for
construction. If you have any questions during construction, please contact this office or the swine
company. .
Please be aware that SCS has not checked the excavation and till volumes of dirt. The swine company
has computed these figures and any questions regarding the amount of excavation should be directed to
the company. SCS does not certify that excavation and fill volumes are correct.
EMPORTANT
If you would like for the SCS to certify that the lagoon has been built to design
specifications and meets SCS specilcations and standards, personnel front Him Office
must be present during the lagoon -liner installation. Liners installed withuul SCS
personnel onsite may be required to have testing performed by an engineering firm prior
to certification. The reason for this requirement is that liners are very critical to the
proper construction of the lagoon and the moisture content of the liner material as well
as the method of installation and compaction greatly affect the performance of the liner.
We will also need to conduct a final construction check prior to animal waste being put in
the lagoon. State law requires that new and expanded operations have lagoons that meet
the SCS minimum design specifications. In order to certify the lagoon, we must get
bottom elevations as well as top of dike and sideslope readings. If given a few days
notice, we will try to schedule the construction checks prior to the contractor leaving the
site; however, since we schedule several days in advance, it is best if you let us know as
soon as possible when you believe that a construction check will be needed.
Also enclosed is a contractor certification that must he signed by the eoniractor once the lagoon is
completed. We need this form returned to us before we certify that a lagimm meets uur spe citicatiuns_
You may want to inform your contractor prior to beginning the job that you will need him to certify
his work meets the design requirements.
This approval is valid for six months from the date of this letter. If excavation and/or construction has
not begun during this interval, a new site evaluation is required prior to construction if SCS
certification is desired.
If you have any questions concerning this design or the accompanying waste utiiizatit)n flan, please
contact us.

Please review the attached plan and specifications carefully. -Retain
this plan for your use and records. It is strongly recommended that
you, your contractor, and Soil Conservation Service do a construction
check on the waste lagoon immediately upon completion, in order to
have your operation certified.
The pad dimensions and grades are the best estimates. The BUILDER or
CONTRACTOR is responsible for final, layout of the pads. Goldsboro
Hog Farms, Inc. will assist in a limited capacity, as its major concern
is the proper design and construction of the waste treatment lagoon.
The actual amount of material required for pads and dam may vary from
the estimates. The design will attempt to balance cuts and fills as
close as possible. If additional material is required, the contractor
and owner will negotitate on the price and location of the borrow area.

WASTE UTILIZATION FLAN
FOR
Elsie Herring
Rt. Box 309
Mt.Olive nc 28355
April 20, 1994
Your animal waste utilization plan has been specifically
developed for your 3200 WEAN TO FEEDER SWINE operation.
The plan is based on the soil types, crops to be grown, and
method of application for your particular operation. The waste
must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the
animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial
fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste
is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as
the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each
application and annual soil tests are encouraged so that all
plant nutrients and lime can be balanced for realistic yield
of the crops 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 environ-
mentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs
of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste.
The amount of available nitrogen for plant use is dependant on
the method of application. Soil type is important due to
different leaching potential and yield potential. Waste shall
not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre
per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils or on 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 the nutrients for crop production and
reduce the potential for pollution, waste should be applied to
a growing crop or not more than 30 days prior to planting.
Soil incorporation of the waste will conserve nutrients and
reduce odor problems.
The acres needed to apply the animal waste are based on
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Annual
acreage requirements may be more or less depending on the
specific waste analysis report for your facility at the time
of irrigation.

Your waste utilization plan is based on the following:

The acres, crops, and application method shown in the preceding tables will
accommodate approximately 4010.4 animals of the type shown in Table A.
If more commercial fertilizer is used than is shown in Table D, then
additional acres of land will be needed. A 10 - 25 feet wide permanent
grass filter strip should be seeded along all ditches in fields that
receive animal waste.
The acres shown in Table B are the usable acres in the field shown. Usable
acres are the acres that must be able to receive animal waste. Buffer areas
along ditches, houses, property lines, etc. have been subtracted from the
total field acreages to arrive at the usable acres. The total acres shown
on the attached map is needed for land application in order to have the
proper buffer areas. A combination of land application equipment or
irrigation equipment may be needed in order to properly land apply waste to
all parts of the fields listed. It is the responsibility of the producer to
acquire whatever equipment is needed to properly land apply the waste.

Dear
Enclosed is your copy of a wetland determination_ for tiac�6 Z�6 on which- you indicated
your intent to clear some land. 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.
`s'' = Below is an explanation of the various symbols that may pertain to your map..
W - Wetland - Area is a wetland and should not be cleared for any season if you
wish to remain eligible for USDA programs, receive SCS 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 Soil
Conservation Service prior to clearing land.
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 Soil Conservation Service does not
have the authority to make wetland determinations for these other two -agencies.
NW- Non wetland, -,Area has hydric o;ils but for Farm Bill purposes onlyarea is
non wetland due to hydtology modification prior to 12123/85. You still need to check
with the US Army Corp of Engineers or t1fe'NC DEM to determine if additional permits
are necessary prior to clearing.
CW - Converted Wetland after 11/28/90 - Area was cleared after 11/28/90 and is
a converted wetland. Clearing constitutes a violation of the 1990 Farm Bill. In order to
regain eligibility for USDA programs, area must be restored. Consult with the SCS
about an approved restoration plan before beginning any restoration. -
If you need to clear the delineated wetlands for roads, buildings, hog lagoons or similar
activities, you can request a converted wetland for non agricultural use (CWNA) exemption.
If granted, this exemption would be for Farm Bill purposes only; therefore, you would still
need to contact the Army Corp of Engineers and the Division of Environmental Management.
To request a CWNA exemption, you should complete a request form at the SCS office. It will
take approximately 40 days to get this exemption approved once you give this office the
request. Do not start any clearing of wetland prior to receiving written notification from
this office that your CWNA request has been approved. Also you should not start clearing
until you have received approval from the Army Corp and DEM. All three permits must be
received and approved prior to clearing any wetlands.
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 1Qtterhead. This letter should be received within 15 days of your receipt of this letter.

Dear Sir:
P. O. Box 277
Kenansville, NC 28349
Telephone [phone]
Recently I received an AD-1025 form from the AS CS indicating that you have requested a
.wetland determination on an area you want to clear. Since most of the soils in this county
have inclusions of wetlands, it is necessary that a soil scientist visit the area you want to clear
to determine the presence or absence of these wet inclusions. Generally, I can get a soil
scientist within 2 weeks so depending on the number of requests ahead of yours, I will try to
have a determination for you within 4 weeks and possibly sooner.
In order to avoid delays, there are a few things that you need to do to prepare for the soil
scientist's visit.
I: If the area is wooded or overgrown with weeds and brush, cut some trails throughout
the area so that the soil scientist can walk through the area in several places and set flags of
wetland area_ If the trails are not cut the soil scientist may not be able to see the area
completely thus either resulting in too much area being classified as wetlands or a delay in
the determination until the trails are cut. Trails should not be pushed with tiacked
equipment since this may require a permit from the US Army Corp of Engineers. Manual
labor or mowing is recommended. Traits should be 3 - 4 feet wide and spaced
approximately every 100 - 150 feet apart throughout the area to be cleared.
2. Clearly mark the area where you wand the determination. Corners should be easily
identifiable on the ground'
.
3. Contact this office when you have completed these prerequisites so that a field visit can
be scheduled.
Thank you for your cooperation in getting this determination completed. Your efforts will
help to speed up the process for you and others.
Sincerely,
yffcc1C-4 r

Dear M C. _Q_rlt-tny .
Enclosed is your copy of a wetland determination for tract t% ZZ9 on which you indicated
your intent to clear some land. 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 W - Wetland - Area is a wetland and should not be cleared for any reason if you
wish to remain eligible for USDA programs, receive SCS technical assistance, or avoid
violating US Army Corp of Engineers' and Division of Environmental Management
(DOVO regulations. Any exceptions to this statement should be in writing from the Soil
Conservation Service prior to clearing land.
_A 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 Soil Conservation Service does not
have the authority to make wetland determinations for these other two agencies.
NW- Non wetland - Area has hydric soils but for Farm Bill purposes only, area is
non wetland due to hydrology modification Onbr, to 12/23/85. You still need to check
with the US Army Corp bf Engineers or the WC DEM to determine if additional permits
are necessary prior to clearing. .
CW - Converted Wetland after 11/28/90 - Area was cleared after 11/28/90 and is
a converted wetland. Clearing constitutes a violation of the 1990 Farm Bill. in order to
regain eligibility for USDA programs, area must be restored. Consult with the SCS
about an approved restoration plan before beginning any restoration.
If you need to clear the delineated wetlands for roads, buildings; hog lagoons or similar
activities, you can request a converted wetland for non agricultural use (CWNA) exemption.
If granted, this exemption would be for Farm Bill purposes only; therefore, you would still
need to contact the Army Corp of Engineers and the Division of Environmental Management.
To request a CWNA exemption, you should complete a request form at the SCS office. It will
take approximately 40 days to get this exemption approved once you give this office the
request. Do not start any clearing of wetland prior to receiving written notification from
this office that your CWNA request has been approved. Also you should not start clearing
until you have received approval from the Army Corp and DEM. All three permits must be
received and approved prior to clearing any wetlands.
1 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.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
-------------------------------
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) and
180 days of temporary storage. The time required for the planned
fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be reached may vary
due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount
of fresh water added to the system.
The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for:
(1) waste from animals and (2) excess rainfall atter evaporation. Also
included is storage for the 25 year - 24 hour storm for the location.
The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be
fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year, but excess
rainfall will vary from year to year. The 25 year rainfall will not
be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage
volume must always be available.
A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin
pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from
building(s). If the outlet pipe is not installed at the elevation to
begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed at this elevation
to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established
to stop pumping to maintain lagoon treatment depth.
Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two
elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as
weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without
runoff or leaching.
Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable
method of disposal. Methods of appiicattorr inelude soli set;
center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be
taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops.
The following items are to be carried out:
1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre -
charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during
start-up. Pre -charging reduces the concentration of the initial
waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be
covered with effluent at all times. When precharging is complete,
flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not
be used for flushing after initial filling.
2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This
plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment)
before land application.
3. Begin temporary storage pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level
reaches the elevation 49.8 as marked by permanent -mariner. Stop -pump -
out when the fluid level reaches elevation 47.8 . This temporary
storage, less 25 yr- 24 hr storm, contains 39194 cubic feet or
293170 gallons.

SHEET 2 OF 2 -
4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is
one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.3
inch per hour. Refer to the waste utilization plan for further details.
5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the
lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed
to maintain a vigorous stand.
6. Repair any eroded areas.or areas damaged by rodents and
establish in vegetation.
7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable
outlets.
8. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around
waste utilization fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will
not be applied in open ditches. Do not pump within 200 feet of a
residence or -within 100 feet of a well. Waste shall be applied in a
manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways.
9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of
pollutants,into waters of the United States. The Department of
Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ-
mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS
----------------------------------------------------------
FOUNDATION PREPARATION:
-----------------------
The foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be
cleared of trees, logs, stumps, roots, brush, boulders,sod and rubbish.
Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The topsoil from
the lagoon and pad area should be stripped and stockpiled for use on
the dike and pad areas. After stripping, the foundation area of the
lagoon embankment and building pad shall be thoroughly loosened prior
to placing the first lift of fill material to get a good bond.
EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT:
-----------------------------------
The completed excavation and earthfill shall conform to the lines,
grades, and elevations shown on the plans. Earthfill material shall
be free of material such as sod, roots, frozen soil, stones over
6 inches in diameter, and other objectionable material. To the extent
they are suitable, excavated materials can be used as fill. The fill
shall be brought up in approximately horizontal -layers not to exceed 9
inches in thickness when loose and prior to.compaction. Each layer
will be compacted by complete coverage with the hauling and spreading
equipment or standard tamping roller or other equivalent method.
Compaction will be considered adequate when fill material is observed
to consolidate to the point that settlement is not readily detectible.
NOTE THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PLACEMENT OF LINERS IN THE LINER
SECTION OF THIS SPECIFiOATTON. The embankment of the lagoon shall be
installed using the more impervious materials from the required
excavations. Construction of fill heights shall include 5 percent for
settlement. Dikes over 15 feet in height and with an impoundment
capacity of 10 acre-feet or more fall under the jurisdiction of the NC
Dam Safety Law. The height is defined as the difference in elevation
from the constructed height to the downstream toe of the dike.
Precautions shall be taken during construction to prevent excessive
erosion and sedimentation.
LINER: THE MINIMUM REQUIRED THICKNESS SHALL BE 1.5 ft.
NOTE: LINERS (PARTIAL OR FULL) ARE REQUIRED WHEN THE ATTACHED SOILS
INVESTIGATION REPORT SO INDICATES OR WHEN UNSUITABLE MATERIAL IS
ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRUCTION. A TYPICAL CROSS SECTION OF.THE LINER
IS INCLUDED IN THE DESIGN WHEN LINERS ARE REQUIRED BY THE SOILS REPORT.
When areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will be over -
excavated below finish grade to the specified depth as measured .
perpendicular to the finish grade. The foundation shall be backfilled
as specified to grade with a SCS approved material (ie - CL,SC,CH).
REFER TO THE SOILS INVESTIGATION INFORMATION IN THE PLANS FOR SPECIAL
CONSIDERATIONS.

SHEET 2 OF 2
Soil liner material shall come from an approved borrow area. The
minimum water content of the liner material shall be optimum moisture
content which relates to that moisture content when the soil is kneaded
in the hand it will form a ball which does not readily separate. Water
shall be added to borrow as necessary to insure proper moisture content
during placement of the liner. The moisture content of the liner
material shall not be less than optimum water content during placement.
The maximum water content relates to the soil material being too wet
for efficient use of hauling equipment and proper compaction. Proper
compaction of the liner includes placement in 9 inch lifts and- -
compacted to at least 90 percent of the maximum ASTM D698 Dry Unit
Weight of the liner material. When smooth or hard, the previous lift
shall be scarified and moistened as needed before placement of the next
lift.
The single most important factor affecting the overall compacted perme-
ability of a clay liner, other than the type of clay used for the
liner, is the efficient construction processing of the compacted liner.
The sequence of equipment use and the routing of equipment in an estab-
lished pattern helps assure uniformity in the whole placement and
compaction process. For most clay soils, a tamping or sheepsfoot
roller is the preferable type of compaction equipment.
The soil liner shall be protected from the discharge of waste outlet
pipes. This can be done by using some type of energy dissipator(rocks)
or using flexible outlets on waste pipes.
Alternatives to soil liners are synthetic liners and bentonite sealant.
When these are specified, additional construction specifications are
included with this Construction Spezificaton.
CUTOFF TRENCH:
--------------
A cutoff trench shall be constructed under the embankment area when
shown on a typical cross section in the plans. The final depth of the
cutoff trench shall be determined by observation of the foundation
materials.
VEGETATION:
All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded
to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construc-
tion according to the seeding -specifications. Topsoil should be placed
on areas of the dike and pad to be seeded. Temporary seeding or mulch
shall be used if the recommended permanent vegetation is out of season
dates for seeding. Permanent vegetation should be established as soon
as possible during the next period of approved seeding dates.
REMOVAL OF EXISTING TILE DRAINS
-------------------------------
When tile drains are encountered, the tile will be removed to a minimum
of 10 feet beyond the outside toe of slope of the dike. The tile
trench shall be backfilled and compacted with good material such as
SC, CL, or CH.

Emergency Action Plan
This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from you operationare leaking, overflowing
or running off the site. You should NOT wait until wastes reach surface waters or leave your
property to consider that you have a problem. You should makmery effort to ensure that this does
not happen. This plan should be available to all employees at the facility, as accidents, leaks, and
breaks can happen at any time.
1) Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be possible.
Suggested responses to problems are listed below:
a) Lagoon overflow:
• add soil to the berm to increase the elevation of the dam
• pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate
• stop all additional flow to the lagoon (waterers)
s call a pumping contractor
• make sure no surface water is entering the lagoon
Note: These activities should be started when your lagoon level has exceeded the temporary
storage level.
b) Runoff from waste application field:
• immediately stop waste application
• create a temporary diversion or berm to contain the waste on the field
• incorporate waste to reduce further runoff
c) Leaking from the waste distribution system:
• pipes and sprinklers:
® stop recycle (flushing system) pump
OO stop irrigation pump
OO close valves to eliminate further discharge
® separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow
Page 1

• flush system, houses, solids separators:
OO stop recycle (flushing system) pump
OO stop irrigation pump
OO make sure no siphon effect has been created
® separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow
d) Leakage from base or sidewall of the lagoon. Often these are seepage as opposed
to flowing leaks:
• dig a small well or ditch to catch all seepage, put in a submersible pump, and
pump back into the lagoon
• if holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap [)remove animals and fill holes
and compact with a clay type soil.
• other holes may be likewise temporarily plugged with clay soil.
Note: For permanent repair measures, lagoon problems rguire the consultation of an individual
experienced in their design and installation.
2) Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages.
a) Did the waste reach any surface waters?
b) Approximately how much was released and for what duration?
c) Any damage noted, such as employee injury, fish kills, or property damage?
3) Contact appropriate agencies.
a) During normal business hours, call your DWQ regional office: 910-395-3900; after
hours, emergency number: 800-858-0368 or 919-733-3942. Your phone call should
include: your name, facility, telephone number, the details of the incident, the exact
location of the facility, and the location or direction of movement of the spill, weather
and wind conditions, what corrective measures have been taken, and the seriousness of
the situation.
b) Your integrator: Goldsboro Hog Farms Division, Maxwell Foods, Inc.
919-778-3130 extension 1430
c) If the spill leaves the property or enters surface waters, call the local EMS:
910-296-2160 .

d) Instruct EMS to contact the local Health Department: 910-296-2126.
e) (For technical assistance)
Contact CES: 910-2 6-2143
Local NRCS office: 910-2 6-2121
4) Implement procedures as advised by DWQ and technical assistance agencies to rectify the
damage, repair the system, aid reassess the waste management plan to keep problems with
release of wastes from happening again.

Animal Waste Management System
Elsie and Nick Herring Nursery
Facility Number 31-754
Duplin County
A letter dated January 15, 1999 was sent to advise you about concerns associated with Certified Animal
Waste Management Plans and the method by which the irrigated acres within the plans were calculated. Only
the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application. Any
acreage within the plan that can not be reached by waste application equipment can not be used as part of your
plan.
An evaluation by Dean Hunkele on l /27/99 was made to review the actual number of acres at your
facility that receive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of
the following two results as indicated by the box marked withan "X".
Category 1:
❑ The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please
contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Dean Hunkele the necessary
information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing.a complete wettable acre
determination. Please submit this information to Dean Hunkele, at 127 Cardinal Drive
Extension, Wilmington, NC 28405-3845, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you
have any questions please contact Dean Hunkele at [phone]. If within 90 days you
are unable,to provide Dean Hunkele with the information you are automatically
required to complete a Wettable Acre Determination as described by Category 2
below, within 180 days of receipt of this letter.

Category 2:
Your facility has been identified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
as a facility that. may have overestimated the number of acres actually receiving animal
waste. Therefore, some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates
set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him
or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must
be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct
Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension
Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation
Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special
designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this
designation, or a Professional Engineer.
All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and
the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be returned to DWQ within the next
180 days. If the needed modifications are not made and if the form is not returned within the
required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility
into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation,
and/or injunctive relief.
Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable
Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please
note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all
the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan
must be kept at your facility. DWQ and the Division of Soil & Water Conservation Staff will
review all documentation during their annual visit of your facility. An additional copy must by
kept on file at the local Soil & Water Conservation District Office. Please note that if you install
or modify your irrigation system, a designated Irrigation Specialist or a Professional Engineer
must also sign the Wettable Acre Determination Certification.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Sonya Avant of our

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 31-754
Duplin County
This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRR1, IRR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRYS, SLURI, SLUR2,
SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.

On September 23, 1998, staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of
Water Quality inspected your animal operation and the lagoon serving this operation. Upon
reviewing your irrigation records it was determined that you had over -applied nitrogen (waste).
Excessive application occurred on the small grain overseed of your coastal bermuda in the amount
of 53.9 lbs/ac. This application was above the amount stated by the Waste Utilization Plan
(W.U.P.) for a small grain overseed. NRCS requirements specify that animal waste shall be
applied at agronomic rates.
In addition, your records indicated that 23.3 lbs/ac of waste was applied in February 1998
to the field with cotton in it now. At that time, no cover crop was present which is a violation of
your certified waste plan. I strongly urge you to plant at least a portion of this field with a winter
cover crop to allow application of waste if needed. Future activities of this nature could result in
a Notice of Violation.
To remain a deemed permitted facility, you must notify this office in writing within
fourteen (14) clays of the receipt of this notice, what actions will be taken to comply with your waste
management plan. Failure to do so may result in the facility losing it's deemed permitted status,
requiring it to obtain an individual non discharge permit.

On September 25, 1997 Staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality,
inspected your animal operation and the lagoon(s) serving this operation. It was observed that waste has
been applied to crops not designated in the certified animal waste management plan, and that no irrigation
records have been kept to document this waste application.
NRCS-USDA standards specify that all crops to receive waste application should be listed in the
waste utilization plan, and that records should be kept to log actual application rates. These records should
include the application date and time, where the waste was applied, how much was applied, and an up to date
waste analysis. In addition, as was discussed at the time of the inspection, all bare areas on the lagoon walls
should be reseeded, and a written third party pumping contract should be in the certified plan. 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 rein 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. Failure
to do so may result in the facility losing it's deemed permitted status, requiring it to obtain an individual non

Dear Ms. Herring:
On December 4, 1997, staff from the Division of Soil and Water Conservation conducted
an operations review of your facility. Based on this review, a Notice of Referral was forwarded
to the Division of Water Quality, stating that your lagoon has insufficient freeboard, and that your
spray records are inadequate. Twelve inches of freeboard was reported, and there were no waste
application records on site. On September 30, 1997, the Wilmington Regional Office of the
Division of Water Quality issued a Notice of Deficiency based on a September 24, 1997,
inspection which found inadequate record keeping at that time.
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.
All waste aplication and nitrogen loading should be recorded for each field and kept on site.
