Fields that receive rive manor must have plant oil analysis conducted at least once every three years. High levels of zinc and coPe elaffect p growth. Alternative crop sites must be used when the concentration of these metals approach excessive levels. Site life can be estimated by dividing the amount of copper and zinc to be applied in Ibslacre by 0.036 and 0.071, respectively and multiplying the result by 0,65. By adding this quantity to the current soil index for copper or zinc, we can predict life of the site for waste disposal. In addition to copper and zinc indices, this table also provides a summary of time recommendations for each crop based on the first crop listed on the most recent soil sample. Applicaton of lime at recommended rates is necessary to maintain soil pH in the optimum range for crop production.

Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent. At clean out, this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases, the priority nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since nutrient levels are generally very high application of sludge must be carefully applied. Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray fields should not be used for sludge application. If this is not possible, care should be taken not to load effluent application fields with high amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water moving to streams and lakes, phosphorous is a concern Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a concern.

Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste that reaches surface water is prohibited. z. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving crop type, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, storical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients. n. 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 by disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land application field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding (see "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance). 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. s. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the soil surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. io. 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. ii. 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. 17, Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet 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, drainage ways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided the fields have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from wash down facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, and erosion. 19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. zo. 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 marls 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. zz. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these 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 five (5) years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

Practice Job Sheet: NC-590 Prepared for: �QIVV.S -I c fMS�U/-iC By: 14 i r\-\ Uy l 5 _ Farm: WHAT 15 NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT? Nutrient Management is applying nutrients from all sources with the right placement, in the right amount, at the right time, and from the right source to minimize nutrient losses to surface and groundwater. This practice is accomplished through development and implementation of a Nutrient Management Plan, which can be part of a broader Conservation Plan or CNMP that addresses multiple resource concerns. PURPOSE OF NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT A nutrient management plan is intended to accomplish one or more of the following objectives: • To budget, supply, and conserve nutrients for plant production. • To minimize agricultura! nonpoint source pollution of surface and groundwater resources. • To properly utilize manure or organic by- products as a plant nutrient source. o To protect air quality by reduc.ng odors, nitrogen emissions (ammonia, oxides of nitrogen), and the formation of atmospheric particulates. 4 To maintain or improve the physical, chemical, and biological condition of soil. CONTENTS OF THE NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT PLAN The following components are included in nutrient management plan specifications typical of more `traditional' Tracf(s): '�� 7{( Date:_a J 5 ! i� fertilizer and manure application methods. When precision aglvariable rate application technology is utilized, see the next section of this Job Sheet for additional guidance on plan requirements. o aerial site photograph(s)fimagery or site map(s), and a soil survey map of the site, • Sufficient soils information ---such as dominant soil map until for each planned field —needed to apply nutrients at RYE and Soil Test Report determined rates as appropriate; and to not exceed rates determined by nutrient risk assessment planning criteria. • location of designated sensitive areas and the associated nutrient application restrictions and setbac� s, • results of approved risk assessment tools for any necessary evaluations for nitrogen, phospWrus: and erosion losses. o current andlor planned plant production sequence or rotation, • soil, water, compost, manure, organic by- product, and plant tissue sample analyses applicable to the plan. Where non-NCOA soil testing labs are used, nutrient recommendations must be made using NCDA- similar gu delines and methodologies. Note; high levels of soil copper and zinc may be toxic to production crops. Land application of these nutrients must be accordance with NCSUINCDA crop toxicity guidelines. • Realistic yield goals for the crops planned for nutr;eat application, NC-590 Job 5hce( Nlay 2015 page 1 Planned nitrogen application rates based on NC Realistic Yield Expectations (RYEs) or sufficiently documented yield records, The Nitrogen Leaching Index for planned fields, Planned P & K application rates based on soil test results (see next section where P & K applied through variable rate technology). m listing and quantification of all nutrient sources and form, including starter fertilizer applications and legume -based cover crop mixes. in accordance with the nitrogen and phosphorus risk assessment tool(s), specify the recommended nutrient application source, timing, amount (except for precision/variable rate applications specify method used to determine rate), and placement of plant nutrients for each field or management unit, and o guidance for implementation, operation and maintenance, and recordkeeping as specified by the CNMP or applicable NC DWQ or NDPES permit. Where recision/variable rate nutrient application applications are planned and made, some required planning components of the preceding section may be provided by the overall conservation plan. In addition, the following components are required in nutrient management planning. • The geo-referenced field boundary and data collected that was processed and analyzed as a GIS layer or layers to generate nutrient or soil amendment recommendations. o Planned nitrogen application rates based on NC RYEs or sufficiently documented yield records • The Nitrogen Leaching Index for planned fields. o The nutrient recommendation guidance and recommendation equations used to convert [lie GIS base data layer or layers to a nutrient source material recommendation GIS layer or layers. • Soil testing documentation that crop Phosphorus (P205) and Potassium (K20) nutrient or soil amendment application will be made per soil test results similar to NCDA guidelines. Where P & K will not be applied via variable rate application technology, but by basic GPS guidance, recommended P & K NC-590 Job Sheer May 2015 rates must be provided as specifications prior to application Note —where Diammonium phosphate (18-46- 0) is the primary variable rate P fertilizer source applied on legume crops, additional N wit= likely be needed to achieve RYEs. The plan was developed based on the current ARCS 590 standard and Federal, state, or local regulations or policies. Changes in laws or regulations may require a plan modification. This Job Sheet is a required supplement to the Nutrient Management Plan. NC Permitted Animal Operations: For NO DENR-DWR or NDDES permitted animal operations, the waste utilization portion of the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) must meet requirements specified by the Permit. The NC 1217 Interagency Group provides guidance on the required minimum elements of a CAWMP. This guidance is found in Sec 1.1 of the latest 1217 Guidance Document, located at: http://m"v.ncagr.gov/SWC/tecli/guidancedocume ts. hlm I. Nitrogen Leaching Index Values Nitrogen Leaching Index values, obtained through use of current Soil Hydrologic Grouts (SHG)-based LI index mans in Sec II of the NC FOTG or RUSLE 2 field -specific soil loss calculations are included in the Nutrient Management Plan. SHGs per soil map unit are available through selection of the Soil Data Explorer and Soil Properties and Qualities (then select "Soil Qualities and Features") tabs once an Area of Interest has been defined in NRCS Web Soil Survey. If the Nitrogen Leachin Index > 10 for planned fields, appropriate conservation practices must be included in a conservation plan to prevent nitrogen from leaving the field via surface or subsurface runoff. Below are conservation crop management techniques and practices recommended for mitigation of nitrate losses (practices also documented ;n conservation plan): pale 2 NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT PLAN DEVELOPMENT The nutrient management plan has been developed to meet nutrient application rate criteria for all sources of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium as specified by NRCS 590 Nutrient Management standard criteria. In addition to NCDA Agronomic Division soil test recommendations, or soil test recommendations made through similar guidelines, the plan is based on NC INMC approved values for realistic yield goals, nitrogen factors, phosphorus removal rates, default nutrient values for animal waste, plant availability coefficients for N, P, and K, and animal waste generation volumes where applicable. Approved values are found at. hllp;//ntrtrienfs.soil, ncstr.edufindex. film Where manure is applied, farm records may also be used through a procedure provided in SB 1217 Interagency Group guidance, available at: hft ://www.nca r. ov/SWC/tech/1217commiftee.ht ml For NC permitted animal operations, planning requirements for Plan "Amendments" (minor modifications) and "Revisions" (Major Modifications) are clarified by SB 1217 Interagency Group Guidance. ADDITIONAL PHOSPHORUS -RELATED PLAN INFORMATION (Applicable when increases in Soil Test P are ex ected on the planned area? In NC, a field -specific Phosphorus Loss Assessment Tool (PLAT) evaluation is completed in accordance with 590 Nutrient Management standard General Criteria requirements, and phosphorus must be applied in accordance with 590 standard Manure Phos chorus Application Rates. In addition to the basic plan components, plan information on PLAT categorical ratings, P drawdown strategies, and conservation practices to reduce P loss risk is required when increases in Soil Test P are expected on the planned area. Typically, this could occurwhen manure is consistently applied at Nitrogen -based rates. High levels of phosphorus in the surface soil layer have been linked to increasing risk of P loss through surface runoff and leaching. ❑ increases in Soil Test P are expected on the planned area (not typical if P application made per soil test results). NC-590 Job Sheet i41ay 2015 PLAT Categorical Ratings information When soil test phosphorus continues to increase on a long term basis, PLAT may produce results that require P-based manure application planning and planning for no additional manure P. Conditions that will require P-based or no-P planning will be based on site specific resource conditions, which will facilitate data input into PLAT. PLAT categorical ratings that will require enhanced P application planning are: HIGH: P-based manure application is required (limited to P uptake in harvested crop biomass) VERY HIGH: No additional manure P or starter P application to be specified in nutrient management plan. Phosphorus Drawdown Strategy Information: Implementation of a phosphorus'drawdown' strategy may be a consequence of PLAT results, or may be requested in order to lower soil test phosphorus levels. Should a reduction in soil test P be desired or necessary, the only currently proven method of substantial P'drawdown' is to not apply manure - based P and to plant and harvest crops that utilize P currently present in the soil surface. Crop specilic estimated annual P removal amounts are available on the NCSU Nutrient Management in NC website: httpJinutrients.soil. ncsu.edulyleldshridex.php Conservation Practices and Management Techni ues to Reduce P Loss Potential: Conservation practices, especially those that prevent soil particle detachment and trap sediment at field edges are effective in preventing phosphorus movement from the planned site. Manure application techniques can also be appl:ed to reduce P loss risk. These practices must be included in the conservation plan where determined PLAT risk = HIGH for planned fields, Consult the conservation plan developed in conjunction with the nutrient management plan for information on practices recommended to reduce phosphorus AND nitrogen loss risks. Application management techn'ques to reduce nutrient toss risk may be prescribed below. Nags 3 Long Term Strate-gy for Reduction of Soil P Levels: As noted in the P drawdown strategy section, the only currently proven method for reducing high levels of soil P is not applying P, paired with producing crops on the planned site that use existing soil P. Where soil P and PLAT evaluations indicate an increasing risk to water quality, substantially reducing soil P levels through crop uptake can take many years of implementation. When P is not applied, and existing soil P is used by crops, eventually, soil will become P deficient. Consult CES or NCDA Regional Agronomy specialists for additional information soil lest P reduction timelines. Manure P produced in excess of crop requirements: Consult the nutrient management plan for a quantification of manure generated by the animal feeding operation that may exceed crop P requirements. "Manure Hauler" Information All manure waste applied on land owned by or controlled by the Animal Feeding Operation (AFO) owner or operator must be included in the nutrient management plan. The volume difference in total manure waste generated by the AFO and waste applied to land not owned or controlled by the producer must be accounted for in a nutrient management plan. General information on manure waste generated by an AFO to be applied to land not owned or controlled by the AFO owner or operator may be recorded as specified in the NC CNMP Certification Sheet and Documentation Checklist or other supplemental documentation to the nutrient management plan. NRCS MAP techn'cal criteria require- documentation of manure exports doff the farm this can be done below), The AFO ownerloperator should provide the third party applicator with a current waste analysis in orde- to facilitate agronomic crop application of the facility's generated waste.

Records must be maintained for at least 5 years, or for time and manner required by Permit for animal operations to document plan implementation and maintenance. As applicable, records include: soi, plant tissue, water, manure, and organic by-product analyses resulting in recommendations for nutrient application, C quantities, analyses and sources of nutrients applied, C dates, and method(s) of nutrient applications, source of nutrients, and rates of application, weather conditions and soil moisture at the time of application; lapsed time to manure :ncorporation; rainfall or irrigation event, crops planted, planting and harvest dates, yields. nutrient analyses of harvested biomass, and crop residues removed, dates of plan review, name of reviewer, and recommended changes resulting from the review, and a all enhanced eff,ciency fertilizer products used. Additional records for precision/variable rate sites must include* o maps identifying the variable application source, timing, amount, and placement of all plant nutrients appl;ed, and • GPS-based yield maps for crops where yields can be dig -tally collected. • Documentation per field nitrogen appLcaton rates do not exceed RYE - based recommended rates d Documentation that applied phosphorus and potassium recommendations do not exceed recommended rates specified by soil tests. For non -variable rate application of P & K, provide applied map with field boundaries ind'cating source, timing, method, and rate of all applications. Where 'chlorophyll reader' technology is utilized, application records that nitrogen rates match RYE -based N rates as closely as possible. paged OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE The producer is responsible for safe operation and maintenance of this practice, including all equipment. Review the plan periodically to determine if adjustments or modifications to the plan are needed. In NC, animal operations permitting provisions may specify more frequent review periods. Adhere to the following operation and maintenance provisions: o Protect fertilizer and organic by-product storage facilities from weather and accidental leakage or spillage. o Properly calibrate application equipment to ensure uniform distribution of material at planned rates. o Workers should be protected from and avoid unnecessary contact with inorganic fertilizers and organic by-products. Extra caution must be taken when handling ammonia sources of nutrients, or when dealing with organic wastes stored in unventilated enclosures. • The disposal of material generated by the cleaning of nutrient application equipment should be accomplished properly. Excess material should be collected and stored or field applied in an appropriate manner. Excess material should not be applied on areas of high potential risk for runoff or leaching. o Disposal or recycling of nutrient containers should be done according to state and local guidelines or regulations. \'C-590 Job Sitcct May 2015 PW5 EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN DwQ PI•IQNI✓ NUIVIBERS 1✓iN,IERGENI CY 1 ANIAGCNI.EN'I' SYSTEM <01q, I IA&O SWCD V)b - 5�l -Xa13 NRCS This flan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking, overflowing, or running off site. You should not wait until wastes reach surface waters or leave Your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be posted in an accessible location for all employees at the facility. The following are some fiction items you should take. 1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be possible. Suggested responses to some possible problems are listed below. A. Lagoon overflow -possible solutions are: a. Adel soil to berm to increase elevation of dam. b. pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate. C. Stop all slows to the lagoon immediately. d. Calla pumping contractor. c. Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon. 13: Runoff From waste application field -actions include: a. immediately stop waste application. b. Create a temporary diversion to contailt waste. c. Incorporate waste to reduce runoff. d. Eva[UMC and eliminate the reason(s) that caused the runoff C. l valuate, the application rates for the fields where runo.ffoccurrccl. C: Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinklers -action include: a. Stop recycle pump. b. Stop irrigation pump. c. Close valves to eliminate further discharge. d. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps. l]ecembcr 18, 1996 D: Leakage fl•om flush systems, houses, solid separators -action include: a. Stop recycle primp. h. Stop irrigation purnp. c. Make sure no siphon occurs. d. Stop all flows in the house, flush systems, or solid separators. e. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps. Is: Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed to flowing leaks- possible action: a. Dig a small sump or ditch away from the cnlbacllancnt to catchall seepage, put in a submersible pump, and pump back to lagoon. b. If holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill holes and compact with a clay type soil. c. Have a professional evaluate the condition of the side walls and lagoon bottom as soon as possible. 2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages. a. Did the wtIstc reach any surface waters? b. Approximately how much was released and for what duration? c. Any damage noted, such as employee injury, fish kills, or property damage? d. Did the spill leave the property? c. Does the spill have the potential to reach surface waters? F. Could a future rain event cause the spill to reach surface waters? g. Are potable water wells in danger (either on or off ofthe property)? h. flow much reached surface waters? 3: Contact appropriate agencies. a. During normal business horErs, call your DWQ (Division ol"Water Quality) regional office; Phone - - . After hours, emergency number: 919-733-3942. Your phone calf should include: your name, facility, telephone number, the details of the incident from item 2 above, the exact location of the facility, the location or direction of movement of the spill, weather and wind conditions.
