The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner: 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of,the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. 5. Wind conditions.should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. 1 of 11 This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 21-1.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

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

Actual total acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. 4of11 SLUDGE APPLICATION: The following table describes the annual nitrogen accumulation rate per animal in the lagoon sludge Farm Specifications PANT r/animal Farm Total/ r Farrow to Wean 0.84 1200 Farrow to Feeder 1 1200 Farrow to Finish 4.1 Wean to Feeder 0.072 Feeder to Finish 0.36 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 1200 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year will accumulate in the lagoon sludge based on the rates of accumulation listed above. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 6000 pounds of plant available nitrogen to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermuda grass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 20 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 48 acres of land. Please note that these are only estimates of the PAN produced and the land required to utilize that PAN. Actual values may only be determined by sampling the sludge for plant available nitrogen content prior to application Actual utilization rates will vary with soil type, crop, and realistic yield expectations for the specific application fields designated for sludge application at time of removal. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION: The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. `This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations, the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions. Your facility is designed for > 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm. It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste. 5 of 11 Application Rate Guide The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 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 Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, recieving crop type, or available land. 3 Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients. 4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (See USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 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 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). 7 Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor and flies. 8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the 9of11 NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 9 Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10 Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Wastelnutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11 Any.new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995, shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. 12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14 Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided the fields have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist'. Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied'at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16 Domestic and Industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 10 of 11 —,. ._ _�% r ix�.,•,ir z ,. - .n ,..F ..��"4..::�,a�'s ,. �,�.. „. .. 4-,...��� .c..-.-:L,.i.. NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 18 If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19 Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20 Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption, it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications of animal waste during -the crop season. 21 Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22 Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining nutrient,unless other restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for a minimum of five years. 23 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. : 11 of'11 ..

Box 856 Warsaw, NC 28398 NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN Grower(s): Murphy -Brown, LLC Farm Name: Farm 32 County: Northam ton Farm Capacity: Farrow to Wean Farrow to Feeder 1200 Farrow to Finish Wean to Feeder Feeder to Finish Storage Structure: Anaerobic Lagoon Storage Period: >180 days 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. Solt types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 5. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. 1 of 8 This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

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

See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. 4of8 SLUDGE APPLICATION; The following table describes the annual nitrogen accumulation rate per animal in the lagoon sludge Farm Specifications PANT r/animal Farm Totall r Farrow to Wean 0.64 1200 Farrow to Feeder 1 1200 Farrow to Finish 4.1 Wean to Feeder 0.072 Feeder to Finish 0.36 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 1200 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year will accumulate in the lagoon sludge based on the rates of accumulation listed above. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 6000 pounds of plant available nitrogen to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermuda grass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 20 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 48 acres of land. Please note that these are only estimates of the PAN produced and the land required to utilize that PAN. Actual values may only be determined by sampling the sludge for plant available nitrogen content prior to application Actual utilization rates will vary with soil type, crop, and realistic yield expectations for the specific application fields designated for sludge application at time of removal. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION., The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. 'This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations, the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions. Your facility is designed for >180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm. It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste. 5 of 8 Application Rate Guide The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995, shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. 12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14 Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided the fields have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16 Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 2 of 3 NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 18 If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19 Waste handling structures, piping, .pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20 Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption, it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21 Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22 Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate, Zinc and copper levels in the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for a minimum of five years, 23 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. 3 of 3 PLAN OF ACTION(Poa) FOR HIGH FREEBOARD AT ANIMAL FACILITIES Facility Number: 66-22 County: Northhampton Facility Name: Smithfield-Carroll's Farm 32 Certified Operator Name: David Bowser Operator Number: 27431 1.

It involves their Farm #32 near Pendleton. This operation has test wells installed around the lagoon. The test wells have shown very high levels of nitrates indicating that the lagoon leaks. There have many articles in our local newspaper about this operation leaking. NRCS assistance on this farm involved doing a soil check for the lagoon. This done by Joy and myself. The soils report said that this was not a good site, that if the lagoon was built that it must be limed with clay because of sandy material. We did not review the lagoon design like we have done on some of their other operations. While I feel confident. that the storage capacity is there, it is obvious that the lagoon leaks. Carroll's representative Rudy Grammer has been designated as a technical specialist. He has certified this operation. He is asking that the we (on behalf of the Northampton SWCD) concur in the certification of this existing operation. Because of the publicity and the fact that I do not know that the lagoon was lined (and feel that it wasn't), I do not feel that I should concur in the certification. f (2) Rudy indicates, that after talking with DEM, they only watlt a concurrence in the storage capacity of the lagoon. I do not agree but I think I need some guidance on this one.

I have enclosed a copy of the form for an existing operation. Please note the wording under the "Technical Specialist Certification". The wording on your forms is for a new or.an expanded operation. I have consulted with Joy Sherrod on our role in concurrence of certifications (through the Northampton SWCD). While we will not be concurring in the design of an existing operation, we will be concurring in the adequacy of the storage capacity. While I feel confident that these operations have good storage (180 days), we must physically check out the lagoons. (We did not do this for the one at Rehoboth since we was there during construction.) This means going out with someone who will take a boat onto the lagoons and check the depth. This is what we are doing on our other existing facilities. Rudy, I must be up front with you, on Farm #32 we do have a problem in certification concurrence. This is because of the nitrates found in the test wells. I will be in contact with our folks for guidance on this.

Concerning [lie proper certification forms. please find enclosed revised certification under the format forwarded by you. . In a telephone conversation of' April 3. 1996 with Mr. Andy Oakley, of DEM, we discussed the certification process. Fauns If. 32. and 36 each have been previously registered with the slate and have "deemed permitted" status. It is my understanding that because these facilities, particularly Farm 32. have been properly registered with the state and have achieved deemed permitted status. that the certification process does not involve construction approval of the associated lagoon. Therefore. this facility can be certified so long as there is adcquatc storage in the lagoon to allow land application at such time as the specified crop(s) can effectively utilize the expected nutrients. The revised certification forms will be forwarded to DEM with an explanation for re -submittal. Should you have any questions plcase give me a call.

Northampton County Farms No. 30, 32, and Our File 86-081 1 (U) Dear Mr. Schuster: CARROLL'S FOODS OF VIRGINIA, INC. P. O. Box 1240 WAVERLY, VIRGINIA 23890 0 t-Iff-_ U. - � U T P, r1L L-, ` NOV 161995 J OFFICE This letter responds to DEM's NOV letter, dated October 30, 1995, received in our offices on November 6, 1995. We are providing DEM with additional information on the three farms and related monitor wells that arc referenced in the NOV, We hope that your review of this letter and enclosed information will lead to the conclusion that no further DEM action is needed. Farm 30 was first populated with animals in June of 1991, Farms 32 and 37 were first populated in early 1993. As part of our efforts to maintain good relations with Northampton County, in early I993 -we voluntarily agreed to install nine monitor wells on these three farms. Well locations were detenuined nith the assistance of Dr. Rodney Huffman of N.C. State University. On each farm, one well was located upgradient and two wells downgradient of the waste lagoon system. The attached maps indicate the approximate location of each well. Our agreement with the County called for quarterly monitoring of water levels, Ph, ammonia nitrogen, nitrate and nitrite for the years 1993 and 1994. Since the end of 1994, we voluntarily have continued to sample theses ►yells. Against this background, we offer the following specific response to the issues raised in the NOV letter. The letter states that DEM is concerned about ammonia nitrogen readings. Because the 2L rules do not provide a groundwater standard for this compound, as a technical matter any level of ammonia nitrogen automatically can be considered as a violation.' In the context of our voluntary collection of data in cooperation with Northampton County, such a result seems unfair. We propose to resolve this "catch-22" issue by not sampling for this compound in the future. Elimination of this sampling will pose no risk to human health or the environment because we plan to continue sampling for nitrates and nitrites and because. to the best of our knowledge, there are no off -site drinking water wells within 3,500 feet of any of the three lagoon systems. Kenneth Schuster, RE. November 14, 1995 Page 2 The only other potential violation noted in the NOV was a concern over exceedance of the 10 ppm 2L standard for nitrates in well 3 on Farm 37. A review of the initial sampling data for this well documents that existing background levels of nitrates, likely resulting from prior farming activities, exceeded the 10 ppm standard (see attached well sampling summaries). The 14 ppm and 13 ppm readings for March of 1993 and July of 1993 were taken at a time when the farm was first being populated with animals and the related lagoon was not yet charged. As indicated in the attached April 6, 1993 letter from Stacy W. Gettier, PhD to Mr. W.E. Daniels, the initial nitrate levels in well 3 reflected the existing nutrient status of the localized groundwaters which recently had been subjected to prior application of commercial fertilizers. Indirect confirmation of this conclusion can be found in the initial nitrate readings (7.5 and 6.3 ppm) taken from upgradient well no, l on this same farm (no. 37). In accordance with 15A N.C. ADMIN. CODE 02L.0202 (b) (3), we request that DEM set the naturally occurring background nitrate level for well number 3 on Farm 37 at 14 ppm. Using a 14 ppm natural background 21- standard, there are no exceedances at this well for nitrates. Given this natural background level and the distances between the Farm 37 lagoon system and any off site drinking water receptors, ail public health and 2L protection policies will have been met. In summary, we propose to eliminate sampling for ammonia nitrogen and request establishment of a 14 ppm natural background standard for nitrates at well number 3 on Farm 37. Coupled with the fact that the closest off -site drinking water sources are more than 3,500 feet from all three lagoon systems, and our intent to continue voluntary quarterly sampling of nitrate and nitrite compounds, we believe our proposal provides substantial protection for public health and complies N0th applicable 2L policies. We sincerely hope the information provided will serve to address fully the concerns raised in the NOV. Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional infonnation to resolve this matter.

Box 808 Jackson, NC 27845 Dear Mr. Daniels: Enclosed are both the drill.logs with monitoring well loca- tions and the analytical results of the first shallow ground water sampling. Both Farms 32 and 37 are in startup and the groundwater sam- ples exhibit pre-existing conditions. Both Farms 32 and 37 show slightly elevated levels of nitrogen in both upgradient and downgradient monitoring wells. The analyses probably reflect the nutrient status under well fertilized crop land. Farm 30 has been in operation a little over two years. The water quality at Farm 30 exceeds all requirements for safe drinking water for the measured parameters. The downgradient wells (30-2 and 30-3) in the toe slope of the lagoons have the same, or lower, nitrogen concentrations than the upgradient monitoring well (30-1). The drill logs are provided for your reference. Contained on the drill logs are well depth, construction, location, water depth, and soil profiles. All monitoring wells were constructed according to state guidelines. We installed a metal casing with locks to provide security for the wells. The monitoring wells were installed by Environmental Hydro - geological Consultants, Inc. and sampled by them. Laboratory analyses were perfcrmed ty Specialized Assays Environmental in Nashville, TN.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potential, cation exchange capabilities, and available water holding capabilities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. 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 DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. 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. Attached, you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out; meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Amount of Waste Produced Per Year(gallons, ft3, tons. etc.) 1200 animals x 4,015 gal (amt.) waste/animal/year = 4,818,000 gal (amt.) waste/year. Amount of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) Produced Per Year 1200 animals x 6.5 lbs. PAN/animal/year _ .800 lbs. P N/year. (PAN from N. C. Tech Guide Std. 633) 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 and surface application: Table 1: ACRES OWNED BY PRODUCER Tract # Field Soil Type Crop Lbs. N per Ac.

NOTE: The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements. Beginning in 1996 the Coastal Zone Management Act will require farmers in some eastern counties of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses Nitrogen.

Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6 MONTHS. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation 30.4 ft. Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or Soil and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. Narrative of Operation: This operation is located off of Rte. 1364 northwest of Murfreesboro in Northamoton County. The operation is located on CFSA tract 183. The swine operation is farrow to feeder with a design capacity of 1200 active sows. It is estimated that 4,818_,000 gallons of animal waste will be produced annually for land application. There are approximately 47 acres of cropland available for land application. The waste from the swine houses is stored in an anaerobic treatment lagoon system. The waste will be land applied to cropland in a grain sorghum/small grain rotation using irrigation. Before sludge is applied, samples_will betaken to determine its nutrient content. —Apolication rates for the sludge will be based on the nutrient content of the sludge so that it is applied at agronomic rates. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 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. Illegal discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement (sample enclosed) with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. 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 to exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by the DEM. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 (Interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers.] 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing. 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" in the Technical Reference - Environment file 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 conditions conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application. 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 no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered. 10. 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. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. (See Standard 393 - Fitter 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 overspraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a 'technical specialist". Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses. Animal waste may be applied at agronomic rates to grassed waterways that do not discharge directly into water courses provided the application 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. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard. 18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and 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. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 19. 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. 20. 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.

SPECIFICAT_IQNS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMEM. LAQOQN kMi.t! - . - . .0 6r.20.1 C,Iearing: All trees and brush shall be removed from the impoundment area before construction is started. The foundation of the lagoon shall be cleared of all trees, stumps, roots, brush, sod, organic soil, and debris. All stumps and all roots exceeding 1 inch in diameter shall be removed to a minimum depth of 1 foot'. Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. After clearing is completed the foundation area shall be loosened thoroughly and roughly leveled, with suitable equipment, before placement of any embankment material. Cutoff Trench: A cutoff trench shall be excavated to a minimum depth of inches on the embankment. The exact depth shall be determined on site by SCS. The trench width will be a minimum of 6 feet, but will depend on the equipment being used. The cutoff trench shall be backfilled with material. The trench shall be backfilled in 9 inch layers and compacted with a sheepsfoot roller with a minimum of 4 passes per unit width of fill lift. I€ sheepsfoot roller is not used, the trench shall be backfilled in 4 inch layers and compaction shall be equivalent to or better than the routing of the hauling and spreading equipment 1 over the fill in such a manner that every point on the surface of each layer of fill will be traversed by not less than one tread track of the loaded equipment traveling in a direction parallel to the main axis of the fill. All standing water shall be removed from the trench before backfilling is started. Excavation: Topsoil shall be stocked piled separately for later use. The bottom of the lagoon shall be excavated as shown on the plans. Where pervious material (SP, quartz veins, etc.) is exposed during excavation, it shall be undercut and backfilled with a compacted layer of highly plastic (CL, CH) material approximately six (6) inches in thickness. Scarify and compact the bottom and, where practicable, the side slopes of the lagoon to decrease the permeability of the soil in the lagoon. Embari3gnent Co s ct' n: The material placed in the embankment shall be free of sod, roots, stones over six (6) inches in diameter, and other objectionable materials. materials shall be used in the embankment. Any pervious material found shall be used on the outside slope. Construction of the embankment shall be made in layers not to exceed 4 inches in thickness. Compaction shall be equivalent to or better than the routing of the hauling and spreading equipment over the fill in such a manner that every point on the surface of each layer of fill will be traversed by not less than one tread track of the loaded equipment traveling in a direction.parallel to the main axis of the fill. If pans are not used, construction of the embankment shall be made in layers not to exceed 9 inches in thickness and compacted with a sheepsfoot roller with a minimum , .' 6 of 4 passes per unit wiith of fill lift. At any time the embankment surface becomes "slackened" such that the succeeding layer will not bond to the previous layer, scarify the previous layer sufficiently to assure bonding of the surfaces before continuing with the fill operation. Construction of the fill shall be undertaken only at such times that the moisture content of the fill material will permit a reasonable degree of compaction. Construction of the embankment shall allow an additional 5% for settlement. Stork piled topsail shall be spread over top of embankment and outside side slopes for the establishment of vegetation. Pollution Control During Construction: Stripping of embankment and borrow areas shall be done as they ,are needed in a,normal sequence of construction. Use temporary mulch protection on all disturbed areas that are suhiect to erosion and will not have substantial additional work performed for 30 days. Vegetation: Vegetation shall be established on the slopes, embankment top and all other disturbed areas, except the area that will be inundated, as specified in the plans as soon as possible after construction. Necessary steps shall be taken to ensure that a ;food stand of vegetation is established in .a reasonably_ =ount of rime. P,�Manent ! or 1 inch diameter level elevations, of the lagoon.

The time required for the planned fluid level to be reached may vary due to soil conditions,flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set, center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be taken when applying waste to prevent runoff from the field or damage to crops. The following items are to be carried out: 1. The primary lagoon will 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. 2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see Attachment B) before land application. 3. Begin pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches eleva- tion 1?9U ;P in the secondary lagoon as marked by permanent markers. Stop pump -out when the fluid level reaches elevation 0.0 in the secondary lagoon and &0 in the primary lagoon. 4. The recommended maximum amount to a�pgly per irrigation is one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.3 inch per hour. 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. 5. 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. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States.

The owner of each animal waste management system must submit a designation form to the Technical Assistance and Certification Group which designates an Operator in Charge and is countersigned by the certified operator. The enclosed form must be submitted by January 1, 1997 for all facilities in operation as of that date. Failure to designate a certified operator for your animal waste management system is a violation of 15A NCAC 2H .0224 and may result in the assessment of a civil penalty. If you have questions concerning operator training or examinations for certification, please contact your local North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service agent or our office. Examinations have been offered on an on -going basis in many counties throughout the state for the past several months and will continue to be offered through December 31, 1996.

It involves their Farm 432 near Pendleton. This operation has test wells installed around the lagoon. The test wells have shown very high levels of nitrates indicating that the lagoon leaks. There have many articles in our local newspaper about this operation leaking. NRCS assistance on this farm involved doing a soil check for the lagoon. This done by Joy and myself. The soils report said that this was not a good site, that if the lagoon was built that it must be limed with clay because of sandy material. We did not review the lagoon design like we have done on some of their other operations. While I feel confident. that the storage capacity is there, it is obvious that the lagoon leaks. Carroll's representative Rudy Grammer has been designated as a technical specialist. He has certified this operation. He is asking that the we (on behalf of the Northampton SWCD) concur in the certification of this existing operation. Because of the publicity and the fact that I do not know that the lagoon was lined (and feel that it wasn't), I do not feel that I should concur in the certification. (2) Rudy indicates, that after talking with DEM, they only want a concurrence in the storage capacity of the lagoon. Z do not agree but I think I need some guidance on this one.

Box 1240 Waverly, Va. 23890 Rudy, This is in response to your letter of April 8th regarding the DEM certification of Carroll's Farms 11, 32, and 36. The form is not yet correct. I have enclosed a copy of the form for an existing operation. Please note the wording under the "Technical Specialist Certification". The wording an your forms is for a new or an expanded operation. I have consulted with Joy Sherrod on our role in concurrence of certifications (through the Northampton SWCD). While we will not be concurring in the design of an existing operation, we will be concurring in the adequacy of the storage capacity. While I feel confident that these operations have good storage (180 days), we must physically check out the lagoons. (We did not do this for the one at Rehoboth since we was there during construction.) This means going out with someone who will take a boat onto the lagoons and check the depth. This is what we are doing on our other existing facilities. Rudy, I must be up front with you, on Farm #32 we do have a problem in certification concurrence. This is because of the nitrates found in the test wells. I will be in contact with our folks for guidance on this. I will be glad to schedule time with your folks to check out dimensions and depths of the existing lagoons. Sincerely, Tony Short District Conservationist SMITHFIELD-CARROLL'S FARMS P.O.

Please find enclosed the revised sheets concerning .application. As ne discussed you were cxpecting application rates per irrigation event and I had disclosed a total for the entire year. Thesc revised sheets indicate amounts per hour, amounts per event, and expected total yearly amounts. Concerning the proper certification forms. please find enclosed revised certification trader the lormat fonvarded by VOL], In a telephone conversation of' April 3, 1996 with Mr. Andy Oakley, of DEM. we discussed the certification process. Farms If. 32. and 36 each have been previously registered with the state and have "deemed permitted" status. It is my understanding that because these facilities. parlicularl, Faun 32. have been properly registered with the state and have achieved deemed pctnaitted status, that the certification process does not involve construction approval of the associated lagoon. Therefore. this facility can be certified so long as (here is adequate storage in the lagoon to allow, land application at such time as (lac specified crop(s) can effectively utilize the expected nutrients. The revised certification forms will be Ibmarded to DEM wvith an explanation for re -submittal. Should you have any questions please give me a call. I know this is a difficult situation with the regulation concerning certification seemingly ever changing. My goal is to achieve certification as soon as possible in such a manner that all parties are satisfied. Call with questions.

There are approximately 71 acres of„cropland available for land application. The waste from the swine houses is stored in a primary and secondary anaerobic treatment lagoon „system. The secondary lagoon is used to further reduce the nitrogen content of the waste before it is land applied. Frequent sampling of our secondary lagoons of -similar capacity and geographic location, indicates that nitrogen levels are reduced an additional 40%. The latest lagoon sample analysis for this farm shows that the nitrogen content of the secondary lagoon was 47% less than the nitrogen content of the primary lagoon (see _attached analyses). The average of 40% reduction was used to determine nitrogen production for this plan, The waste will be land applied to Bermuda rass ha land.

The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of cropland needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements, and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake. This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or other by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each field in order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation. Depending on the requirements of the crop and the nutrient content of the waste, some nutrients will likely be over or under applied if animal waste is being utilized. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle and annual soil tests are required if animal waste is being applied. Soil tests should be used to balance the nutrient application amounts with the realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Nutrient management plans may require that the application of animal waste be limited so as to prevent over application of phosphorous when excessive levels of this nutrient are detected in a field.

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.

Available storage capacity is calculated as the design storage capacity in days minus the number of days of net storage volume accumulated. The start date is a value entered by the user and is defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or holding pond is equal to zero. Available storage capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the design storage capacity of the facility. If the available storage capacity is greater than the design storage capacity, this indicates that the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated. If available storage capacity is negative, the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design storage volume of the structure. Either of these situations indicates that the planned application interval in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the structure's temporary storage capacity.

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. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS 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. b. 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). 413656 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 4/11/03 Specification Page t 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. 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. 10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1,1995, shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters. 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 413656 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 4/11/03 Specification Page 2 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 the fields have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, and erosion. 19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption, it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 413656 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 4/11/03 Specification Page 3 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. 413656 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 4/11/03 Specification Papze 4 Crop Notes The following crop note applies to field(s): Hyd. G, Hyd. H Bermudagrass Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, Moderately Well Drained. Adaptation: Well -adapted. In the Coastal Plain, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. l to Mar. 31. Cover sprigs 1" to 3" deep (1.5" optimal)_ Sprigs should be planted quickly after digging and not allowed to dry in sun and wind. For Coastal and Tifton 78 plant at least 10 bu/ac in 3' rows, spaced 2' to 3' in the row. Generally a rate of 30 bu/ae is satisfactory to produce full groundcover in one or two years under good growing conditions. Tifton 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bu/ac in 1.5' to 2' rows spaced I' to 1.5' in row. For broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus, potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 100 Ib/ac N in the establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply 180 to 240 Ib/ac N annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts. Reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for more information or consult your regional agronomist or extension agent for assistance. The following crop note applies to field(s): Hyd C, Hyd. A, Hyd. B, Hyd. D, Hyd. E, Hyd. F Bermudagrass: Piedmont Adaptation: Moderate to Well -adapted. In the Piedmont, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. I to Mar. 31. Cover sprigs 1" to 3" deep (1.5" optimal). Sprigs should be planted quickly after digging and not allowed to dry in sun and wind. For Coastal and Tifton 78 plant at least 10 bu/ac in 3' rows, spaced 2' to 3' in the row. Generally a rate of 30 bu/ac is satisfactory to produce full groundcover in one or two years under good growing conditions. Tifton 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bu/ac in 1.5' to 2' rows spaced I' to 1.5' in row. For broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus, potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 100 lb/ac N in the establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply 180 to 240 lb/ac N annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts. Winter -kill is a frequent problem in the Upper Piedmont; Coastal is not adapted there. Tifton 44 is the most cold -hardy cultivar. Reduce N rates by 25% for grazing.
