Planned Crops Summary
Thomas Family Farm
The table shown below provides a summary of the crops or rotations Included In the plan for each field. Realistic Yield estimates
and Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) recommendations are also provided for each crop as well as the crop's P205 Removal
Rate. The Leaching Index (LI) and the Phosphorous Loss Assessment Tool (PLAT) Rating are also provided for each field,
where available.
If a filed's PLAT Rating is High, any planned manure application is limited to the phosphorous removal rate of the harvested
plant biomass for the crop rotation or multiple years In the crop sequence. Fields with a Very High PLAT Rating should receive
no additional applications of manure. Regardless of the PLAT rating starter fertilizers may be recommended In accordance with
North Carolina State University guidelines or recommendations. The quantity of P205 applied to each crop is shown in the
following table if the field's PLAT rating is High or Very High,

Required Soil Test Values
Thomas Family Farm - Allensville
The Required Soil Test Values shown In the following table provide a summary of recommended actions that
should be taken based off information provided at time of soil tests. Fields that receive manure must have a soil
analysis conducted at least once every three years. High levels of zinc and copper can adversely affect plant
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 lbslacre by 0.036 and 0.071,
respectively and multiplying the result by 0.85. 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 lime recommendations for each
crop based on the first crop listed on the most recent soil sample. Application of lime at recommended rates
necessary to maintain soil pH in the optimum range for crop production. If the first crop or rotation changes,
these recommendations may need to be reevaluated to ensure optimal ranges ofr crop production are
maintained.

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

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
a. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift,
manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during
operation or land application. Any discharge of waste that reaches surface
water is prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either
owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly
apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly
dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a
landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of
the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the
waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Management
Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase In the number of
animals, method of application, receiving crop type, or available land.
I Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs
for realistic crop yields based upon soll type, available moisture, storical data,
climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations
that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients.
a. 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).
s. 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.

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.
$. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or
when the soil surface is frozen.
a. 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.
zs. 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

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 ail
disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall
be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees,
shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered
appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms
and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion,
leakage, or discharge.
18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the
owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which
will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, and erosion.
19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on
a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular
maintenance checklist should be kept on site.

20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other
crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on
crops for direct human consumption, it should only be applied pre -plant with
no further applications of animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom
elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste
treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level
between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum
storage volume for waste storage ponds.
22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at
least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall
be the rate -determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to
be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower application rate
than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be
monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these 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.

NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT PLAN
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
N.C. Practice Job Sheet- NC-590

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 agricultural nonpoint source
pollution of surface and groundwater
resources.
• To properly utilize manure or organic by-
products as a plant nutrient source.
• To protect air quality by reducing odors,
nitrogen emissions (ammonia, oxides of
nitrogen), and the formation of atmospheric
particulates.
• To maintain or improve the physical, chemical,
and biological condition of soil.
C NTENTS OF THE NUTRIENT
MANAGEMENT PLAN
The following components are included in
nutrient management plan specifications
typical of more `traditional'
fertilizer and manure application methods,
When precision ag/vadable rate application
technology Is utilized, see the next section of
this Job Sheet for additional guidance on plan
requirements.
• aerial site photograph(s)Amagery 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
setbacks,
• results of approved risk assessment tools for
any necessary evaluations for nitrogen,
phosphorus, and erosion losses.
• current and/or planned plant production
sequence or rotation,
• soil, water, compost, manure, organic by-
product, and plant tissue sample analyses
applicable to the plan. Where non-NCDA soil
testing labs are used, nutrient
recommendations must be made using NCDA-
similar guidelines 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
nutrient application,
NC-590 Job Shcet May 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).
• 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
• guidance for implementation, operation and
maintenance, and recordkeeping as specified
by the CLAMP or applicable NC DWQ or
NDPES permit.
Where.12recisionLyariable 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.
• Planned nitrogen application rates based on
NC RYEs or sufficiently documented yield
records
• The Nitrogen Leaching index for planned
fields.
• The nutrient recommendation guidance and
recommendation equations used to convert the
GIS base data layer or layers to a nutrient
source material recommendation GIS layer or
layers.
• Soil testing documentation that crop
Phosphorus (P2O5) 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 Sheet May 2015

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:
ht J/nuldents.soil ncsu.edurndex.htm
Where manure is applied, farm records may also
be used through a procedure provided in SIB 1217
interagency Group guidance, available at:
htt ://www.n r. ov/SWCRech/1217commift .ht

For NC permitted animal operations, planning
requirements for Plan'AmendmenW (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 exciected 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 Phosohorus Anolication
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
Sol] Test P are expected on the Planned area.
Typically, this could occur when 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 Shcct May 2015
PLAT Cltegorical 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 Drawd wn Strategy
information•
Implementation of a phosphorus'drawdown'
strategy may bee 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 specific estimated annual P removal amounts
are available on the NCSU Nutrient Management
in NC website:
ht :lln don il.ncsu.ed i I h
Conservation Practices jnd Management
Technigues to Reduce P Los$, 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 applied
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 techniques to reduce nutrient loss
risk may be prescribed below:
page 3

Lon Term Strafe f r 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 test P reduction timelines.
Manure P Produced In excess of croe
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. MRCS CN P to nical criteria
require document tion of manure ex oils off the
fa his can be done below). The AFO
owner/operator should provide the third party
applicator with a current waste analysis in order to
facilitate agronomic crop application of the facility's
generated waste. Should land not owned or
controlled by the AFO owner or operator be
included in a nutrient management plan, the
complete plan must meet 590 criteria.

REC RDI EEPING
Waste reports from the NCDA & CS Agronomic
Division, or equivalent, are acceptable sources of
information for determining applied manure nutrient
amounts for recordkeeping or crop budgeting
purposes.
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:
• soil plant tissue, water, manure, and
organic by-product analyses resulting in
recommendations for nutrient application,
• quantities, analyses and sources of
nutrients applied,
• 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

biomass, and crop residues removed,
• dates of plan review, name of reviewer,
and recommended changes resulting from
the review, and
• all enhanced efficiency fertilizer products
used.
Additional records for Precision/variable rate
sites must include:
• maps identifying the variable application
source, timing, amount, and placement of
all plant nutrients applied, and
• GPS-based yield maps for crops where
yields can be digitally collected.
• Documentation per field nitrogen
application rates do not exceed RYE•
based recommended rates
• Documentation that applied phosphorus
and potassium recommendations do not

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:
• Protect fertilizer and organic by-product
storage facilities from weather and accidental
leakage or spillage,
• Properly calibrate application equipment to
ensure uniform distribution of material at
planned rates.
• 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.
• Disposal or recycling of nutrient containers
should be done according to state and local
guidelines or regulations.

Mortality Management Methods
Indicate which method(s) will be implemented
When selecting multiple methods indicate a primary versus secondary option.
Methods other than those listed must be approved by the State Veterinarian.
Primary Secondary Routine Mortality
Burial three feet beneath the surface of the ground within 24 hours of knowledge of animal
death. The burial must be at least 300 feet from any flowing stream or public body of water
(G.S.106-403). The bottom of the burial pit should be at least one foot above the seasonal
high water table. Attach burial location map and plan.
Landfill at municipal solid waste facility permitted by NC DEQ under GS 15A NCAC
13B .020D.
Rendering at a rendering plant licensed under G.S.106-168.7.
NComplete incineration according to 02 NCAC 52C .0102.
aA composting system approved and permitted by the NC Department of Agriculture & Con -
El Services Veterinary Division (attach copy of permit). If compost is distributed off -farm,
additional requirements must be met and a permit is required from NC DEQ.
❑ In the case of dead poultry only, placing in a disposal pit of a size and design approved by the
NC Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services (G.S. 106-549.70).
❑ ❑ Any method which, in the professional opinion of the State Veterinarian, would make possible
the salvage of part of a dead animal's value without endangering human or animal health.
(Written approval by the State Veterinarian must be attached).
Mass Mortality Plan
Mass mortality plans are required for farms covered by an NPDES permit. These plans are
also recommended for all animal operations_ This plan outlines farm -specific mortality man-
agement methods to be used for mass mortality. The NCDA&CS Veterinary Division sup-
ports a variety of emergency mortality disposal options; contact the Division for guidance.
• A catastrophic mortality disposal plan is part of the facility's CAWMP and is activated
when numbers of dead animals exceed normal mortality rates as specified by the State
Veterinarian.
• Burial must be done in accordance with NC General Statutes and NCDA&CS Veterinary
Division regulations and guidance.
• Mass burial sites are subject to additional permit conditions (refer to facility's animal
waste management system permit).
• In the event of imminent threat of a disease emergency, the State Veterinarian may enact
additional temporary procedures or measures for disposal according to G.S. 106-399.4.
