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. You must have the
animal waste analyzed to determine nutrient content as close to the time of application as
practical and at least within 60 days of the date of application before each application
cycle. Soil nutrients in all fields where waste will be applied must be analyzed at least
annually so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be
grown. Soil test and waste analysis records shall be kept for five (5) years. Poultry dry
waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application
records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years.
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 mariner:
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. Lime must
be applied to application fields as recommended by soil test to maintain the plant
uptake of nutrients.
r �
WOTE UTILIZArI ION P N.,
T & C` Dairy :.Page 2 a 0/27/99
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 not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per
year. With special precautions, (see Required Specification No. 4) waste may be
applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year.
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 a violation of
the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) .0200 regulations.
5. Wind conditions at the time of field application of waste should also be considered to
avoid drift and downwind odor problems.
6. 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. Otherwise apply waste no
earlier than 30 days prior to planting a crop or prior to forages breaking dormancy.
Injecting or otherwise incorporating the waste below the soil surface will conserve
nutrients and reduce odor problems.
7. Zinc and copper levels in the soils in all fields where waste is applied shall be .
monitored and alternative application fields shall be used when these metals approach
excess levels.
This plan is based on waste application by irrigation and broadcasting with a spreader. If
you choose to alter the method(s) of application in the future, you need to revise this plan.
Nutrient levels for various waste application methods are not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content
for dairy systems in North Carolina. Actual acreage requirements shall be based on
waste analysis reports from storage structures in your waste management system.
Your slurry storage pond is designed for 98 days of temporary storage and the temporary
storage must be removed on the average of once every 3 MONTHS. If your facility is
unroofed, in no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure be
higher than the maximum storage marker except in the event of a 25 year, 24 hour storm.
Call your technical specialist 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.
The waste management system which is covered by this waste utilization plan shall be
operated only by persons which hold a valid certificate as an operator in charge of an
animal waste management system. The North Carolina Water Quality Commission will
provide training and certification of operators.

This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A
NCAC 2H _0217 (the _0200 rules) adopted by the Water Quality Commission_
***IMPORTANT NOTE:
The following two pages of this plan contain the calculations for PAN from liquid and solid
waste. T & C Dairy will be applying the waste both by irrigation and spreader equipment.
PAN is calculated differently with these two methods of application. The table below

Calculating the PAN using both methods of application will be very complicated and
cumbersome. Additionally, at this point it will be virtually impossible to calculate the actual
PAN in the stored waste when rainfall runoff is included. Therefore, the higher rate of
PAN will be used (spreader broadcast) in caiculatina the amount of total PAN and the
acreage needed for waste application. This will result in a slight overestimation of the
PAN to be applied and the acreage needed. This will be toward the conservative side
since the farmer will be applying approximately 50% by each application method. When
enough samples have been obtained the farmer will use the PAN figures from them to
determine the amounts to apply.

Values used above are based on analysis of waste from similar livestock operations in
North Carolina (source: USDA-NRCS FOTG Practice Standard 633 -Waste Utilization).
Actual nutrient content of the waste from this system may vary from these values. Waste
analysis should be made of the actual waste as soon as possible after significant waste
accumulates in the storage structure(s).
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.

The irrigation application rate should not exceed the infiltration 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
It is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation
system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in tables I through 3. Failure to
apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this

Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying forage plants under stress condition.
Nitrate poisoning may occur in livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is

WASTE APPLICATION TABLES
The crop fields shown in the Waste Application Tables that follow are available for waste
application_ It will not be necessary and may not be desirable to apply waste to each of
these fields in any given year.
The Lbs. of Nitrogen Per Acre shown in the tables are estimated annual nitrogen (N)
requirements of the crop to be grown based on the potential productivity of the soil and
assuming no double cropping.
The Recommended Lbs. of N to be Applied per acre indicates the Nitrogen that can be
reasonably applied to the crop and used by the crop in a timely manner using animal
waste alone. It will not be practical to meet all the nutrient needs of some crops with
animal waste. Supplemental applications of commercial fertilizer may be required during
the growing season in order to meet all crop nutrient needs. It is assumed that for certain
row crops only a fraction of the total annual nitrogen requirement can be applied using
animal waste.
The landowner shall record the actual waste application volume made on each field on the
Department of Water Quality Waste Application Record Form.

Narrative of Operation:
Mr. Nesbitt has a slurry storage pond that was constructed several years ago without
NRCS or District assistance. Based on a 300 -cow herd, and survey information and
information provided by Mr. Nesbitt, the storage period of the pond has been estimated to
be approximately 98 days during the months of December -March.
All lot runoff and other waste water is directed into the storage pond as well as all lot
scraped manure. Waste is irrigated to a field adjacent to the storage pond that is owned
by T & C Dairy. This field is approximately 29 acres in size. Currently about half the field
is under lease to another farmer and cannot be utilized for waste application. The
wettable acres have been determined to be 13.4 acres. The remaining waste is hauled by
spreader to fields approximately 3 miles to the east of the dairy. These are the leased
fields shown earlier in this plan. There are approximately 23 usable acres in these fields.
A spreader truck is used to apply waste to these fields.
Please note page 9 for waste application windows as they apply to the wheat cover crop
and the corn silage. Waste should be applied only during the times specified in the

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1. 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 Water Quality for every day the discharge continues_
2. (The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either
owns or has a notarized long term agreement for use of adequate land on which to
properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly
dispose of waste, he/she shall provide NRCS with a copy of a notarized 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 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. Actual yields may be used in lieu of realistic yield tables
at the discretion of the planner.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year.
Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS)
or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If a RMS or 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 DWQ. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 392 -
Riparian Forest Buffer.]
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when the wind is blowing or any other condition exists which
may cause a danger of drift from the irrigation field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled
crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not
occur during a season prone to flooding. (See 'Weather- and Climate in North
Carolina" in the Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.)
W,40[1 UTI LI ZA -1-10N PON
T.& I C Dairy Page 18 10/27/99:.
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 the crop
is not damaged by buming or smothering of the plant. This is an important
consideration where swine, poultry or other ammonia rich waste is being surface
applied. Surface broadcast solids or slurries may damage crops if leaf surfaces are
matted. Generally waste should be applied such that no more than 20 to 25 percent of
the leaf area is covered. This should not normally be a concern where diluted, low
nutrient waste is irrigated or surface broadcast from a liquids holding structure. Where
crops are severely damaged due to waste application, the plants cannot assimilate the
nutrients and discharge of pollutants to surface waters is likely to occur. The potential
for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered.
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. On soils with a high potential for leaching, multiple application at lower rates
should be used. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production & reduce the
potential for pollution, the waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to
planting of the crop on bare soil, or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients.
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 from any perennial stream or river (other than an
irrigation ditch or 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 surface water.
(See Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 392 - Riparian Forest Buffer)
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those
owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public, right-of-
ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands
by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted

wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical
specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways which discharge
directly into water courses. If animal waste is to be applied on other grassed
waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates and 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/holding pond 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/holding pond areas
should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon/holding pond 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 an "approved 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 preplant with no further applications of
animal waste during the crop season -
21. Highly visible permanent 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 element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and
alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. Soil
pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained- Soil and waste
analysis records shall be kept for five (5) years. Poultry dry waste application records
shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application records for all other waste
shall be maintained for five (5) years.

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. You must have the
animal waste analyzed to determine nutrient content as close to the time of application as
practical and at least within 60 days of the date of application before each application
cycle. Soil nutrients in all fields where waste will be applied must be analyzed at least
annually (annual soil tests) so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of
the crop to be grown. Soil test and waste analysis records shall be kept for five (5) years.
Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste
application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years.
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. Lime must
be applied to application fields as recommended by soil test to maintain the plant
uptake of nutrients_
WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Page 2 2/2/2007
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 not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per
year. With special precautions, (see Required Specification No. 4) waste may be
applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Two fields in your plan will
require these measures. These measures must be installed prior to waste application.
The SWCD can provide assistance with conservation practice design.
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 a violation of
the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) .0200 regulations.
5. Wind conditions at the time of field application of waste should also be considered to
avoid drift and downwind odor problems.
6. 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. Otherwise apply waste no
earlier than 30 days prior to planting a crop or prior to forages breaking dormancy.
Injecting or otherwise incorporating the waste below the soil surface will conserve
nutrients and reduce odor problems.
7. Zinc and copper levels in the soils in all fields where waste is applied shall be
monitored and alternative application fields shall be used when these metals approach
excess levels.
This plan is based on waste application by IRRIGATION AND TANKER SPREADER. if
you choose to alter the method(s) of application in the future, you need to revise this plan.
Nutrient levels for various waste application methods are not the same.
The estimated number of acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical
nutrient content for dairy systems in North Carolina. Actual acreage requirements shall
be based on waste analysis reports from storage structures in your waste management
system.
Your WASTE STORAGE POND is designed for 98 DAYS OF TEMPORARY STORAGE
and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every THREE
months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure be
higher than the maximum storage marker except in the event of a 25 year, 24 hour storm.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report if you need
assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate
prior to applying the waste.
The waste management system which is covered by this waste utilization plan shall be
operated only by persons which hold a valid certificate as ari operator in charge of an

animal waste management system. The North Carolina Water Quality Commission will
provide training and certification of operators.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A

Tons Gallons Acre Inches
4,475 200,750 (waste water)
148 Lbs. PAN per year form liquid waste
+ 10,874 Lbs. PAN per year from solid waste

Applying the above amount of waste as calculated above is a big job. You should plan
time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
Values used above are based on analysis of waste from similar livestock operations in
North Carolina (source: USDA-NRCS FOTG Practice Standard 633 -Waste Utilization).
Actual nutrient content of the waste from this system may vary from these values. Waste
analysis should be made of the actual waste as soon as possible after significant waste
accumulates in the storage structure(s).
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.
WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Page 7 2/2/2007
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the infiltration rate of the soil at the time
of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs_ This rate is limited by initial soil moisture
content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application
amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of
irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the
crop.
It is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation
system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in tables 1 through 3. Failure to
apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this
plan invalid.
Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying forage plants under stress condition.
Nitrate poisoning may occur in livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is
recommended.

WASTE APPLICATION TABLES
The crop fields shown in the Waste Application Tables that follow are available for waste
application. It will not be necessary and may not be desirable to apply waste to each of
these fields in any given year.
The Lbs. of Nitrogen Per Acre shown in the tables are estimated annual nitrogen (N)
requirements of the crop to be grown based on the potential productivity of the soil and
assuming no double cropping.
The Recommended Lbs. of N to be Applied per acre indicates the Nitrogen that can be
reasonably applied to the crop and used by the crop in a timely manner using animal
waste alone. It will not be practical to meet all the nutrient needs of some crops with
animal waste. Supplemental applications of commercial fertilizer may be required during
the growing season in order to meet all crop nutrient needs. It is assumed that for certain
row crops only a fraction of the total annual nitrogen requirement can be applied using
animal waste.
The landowner shall record the actual waste application volume made on each field on the
Department of Water Quality Waste Application Record Form.

Narrative of Operation:
T & C Dairy has a slurry storage pond that was constructed in the 1990's without the
assistance of the NRCS or the Soil and Water Conservation District. The dairy runs a
maximum of 300 head in the confined area. All waste water and scraped manure is
directed into the waste storage pond. Based on information supplied by Tony Nesbitt, and
our surveys, the pond capacity is approximately 98 days during the portions of the year
with the greatest rainfall and lowest evaporation.
When field conditions permit, waste is irrigated onto a field within 1,000 feet of the waste
storage pond. This field contains 13.4 acres wettable acres. The operator of the dairy,
Tony Nesbitt has requested that more additional fields be added to the waste utilization
plan, so fields have been added that he leases. Waste will be hauled to these fields with a
tanker and spread.
Two of the fields have soil loss in excess of 5 tons/acre/year, so field borders will be
required on those fields. These fields are number "Haggard 1" and "Merrell 1a" on the
waste application tables and on the maps. The SWCD can provide technical assistance
with the installation of these measure. NO WASTE CAN BE APPLIED TO THESE
FIELDS UNTIL THE FIELD BORDERS ARE IN PLACE WITH A GOOD STAND OF
GRASS.
Mr. Nesbitt would like to apply animal waste to the Dotson leased field. His daughter
grows organic vegetables on this field. Due to the fact that waste must be applied no
more than 30s prior to planting, and the fact that waste cannot be applied within 60 days
of harvest on vegetables for direct human consumption, waste should only be applied
during the winter on a winter cover crop.

Actual application times will depend on gallons/minute being pumped and travel speed of
the traveling gun. Application on 0.6 inches will require some adjustment on the part of
the applicator. Experience will enable the applicator to uniformly apply the waste to the
proper depth without runoff. The irrigation equipment must also be calibrated. Slurry
waste infiltration rate will differ from the infiltration rate of the li uid also.
THIS TABLE IS NOT NEEDED IF WASTE IS NOT BEING APPLIED BY IRRIGATION,
HOWEVER A SIMILAR TABLE WILL BE NEEDED FOR DRY LITTER OR SLURRY.
WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Page 24 2/2/2007
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1. 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 by the Division of Water
Quality for every day the discharge continues.
2. (The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either
owns or has a notarized long term agreement for use of adequate land on which to
properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly
dispose of waste, he/she shall provide NRCS with a copy of a notarized 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 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. Actual yields may be used in lieu of realistic yield tables
at the discretion of the planner.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year.
Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS)
or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If a RMS or 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 DWQ. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 392 -
Riparian Forest Buffer.]
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when the wind is blowing or any other condition exists which
may cause a danger of drift from the irrigation field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled
crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not
occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North
Carolina" 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
WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Page 25 2/2/2007
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 the crop
is not damaged by burning or smothering of the plant. This is an important
consideration where swine, poultry or other ammonia rich waste is being surface
applied. Surface broadcast solids or slurries may damage crops if leaf surfaces are
matted. Generally waste should be applied such that no more than 20 to 25 percent of
the leaf area is covered. This should not normally be a concern where diluted, low
nutrient waste is irrigated or surface broadcast from a liquids holding structure. Where
crops are severely damaged due to waste application, the plants cannot assimilate the
nutrients and discharge of pollutants to surface waters is likely to occur. The potential
for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered.
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. On soils with a high potential for leaching, multiple application at lower rates
should be used. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production & reduce the
potential for pollution, the waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to
planting of the crop on bare soil, or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients.
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 from any perennial stream or river (other than an
irrigation ditch or 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 surface water.
(See Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 392 - Riparian Forest Buffer)
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those
owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-
ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands
by a discharge or by over -spraying- Animal waste may be applied to prior converted
wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical
specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grasped waterways which discharge
i
WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Page 26 2/2/2007
directly into water courses. If animal waste is to be applied on other grassed
waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates and 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/holding pond 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/holding pond areas
should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon/holding pond 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 an "approved 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 preplant with no further applications of
animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly visible permanent 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 element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and
alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. Soil
pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste
analysis records shall be kept for five (5) years. Poultry dry waste application records
shall be maintained for three (3) 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 NC regulations. North
Carolina General Statute 106-403 requires that dead animals be disposed of within 24
hours in a manner approved by the state veterinarian.

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. You must have the
animal waste analyzed to determine nutrient content as close to the time of application as
practical and at least within 60 days of the date of application before each application
cycle. Soil nutrients in all fields where waste will be applied must be analyzed at least
annually (annual soil tests) so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of
the crop to be grown. Soil test and waste analysis records shall be kept for five (5) years.
Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste
application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years.
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. Lime must
be applied to application fields as recommended by soil test to maintain the plant
uptake of nutrients.
lfi
WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Page 2 2/2/2007
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 not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per
year. With special precautions, (see Required Specification No. 4) waste may be
applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Two fields in your plan will
require these measures. These measures must be installed prior to waste application.
The SWCD can provide assistance with conservation practice design.
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 a violation of
the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) .0200 regulations.
5. Wind conditions at the time of field application of waste should also be considered to
avoid drift and downwind odor problems.
8. 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. Otherwise apply waste no
earlier than 30 days prior to planting a crop or prior to forages breaking dormancy.
Injecting or otherwise incorporating the waste below the soil surface will conserve
nutrients and reduce odor problems.
7. Zinc and copper levels in the soils in all fields where waste is applied shall be
monitored and alternative application fields shall be used when these metals approach
excess levels.
This plan is based on waste application by IRRIGATION AND TANKER SPREADER. If
you choose to alter the method(s) of application in the future, you need to revise this plan.
Nutrient levels for various waste application methods are not the same.
The estimated number of acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical
nutrient content for dairy systems in North Carolina. Actual acreage requirements shall
be based on waste analysis reports from storage structures in your waste management
system.
Your WASTE STORAGE POND is designed for 98 DAYS OF TEMPORARY STORAGE
and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every THREE
months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure be
higher than the maximum storage marker except in the event of a 25 year, 24 hour storm.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report if you need
assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate
prior to applying the waste.
The waste management system which is covered by this waste utilization plan shall be
operated only by persons which hold a valid certificate as an operator in charge of an
k"

animal waste management system. The North Carolina Water Quality Commission will
Provide training and certification of operators.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A
NCAC 2H .0217 (the .0200 rules) adopted by the Water Quality Commission.

Applying the above amount of waste as calculated above is a big job. You should plan
time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
Values used above are based on analysis of waste from similar livestock operations in
North Carolina (source: USDA-NRCS FOTG Practice Standard 633 -Waste Utilization).
Actual nutrient content of the waste from this system may vary from these values. Waste
analysis should be made of the actual waste as soon as possible after significant waste
accumulates in the storage structure(s).
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.

The irrigation application rate should not exceed the infiltration rate of the soil at the time
of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture
content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application
amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of
irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the
crop.
It is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation
system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in tables I through 3. Failure to
apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this
plan invalid.
Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying forage plants under stress condition.
Nitrate poisoning may occur in livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is
recommended.

WASTE APPLICATION TABLES
The crop fields shown in the Waste Application Tables that follow are available for waste
application. It will not be necessary and may not be desirable to apply waste to each of
these fields in any given year.
The Lbs. of Nitrogen Per Acre shown in the tables are estimated annual nitrogen (N)
requirements of the crop to be grown based on the potential productivity of the soil and
assuming no double cropping.
The Recommended Lbs. of N to be Applied per acre indicates the Nitrogen that can be
reasonably applied to the crop and used by the crop in a timely manner using animal
waste alone. It will not be practical to meet all the nutrient needs of some crops with
animal waste. Supplemental applications of commercial fertilizer may be required during
the growing season in order to meet all crop nutrient needs. It is assumed that for certain
row crops only a fraction of the total annual nitrogen requirement can be applied using
animal waste.
The landowner shall record the actual waste application volume made on each field on the
Department of Water Quality Waste Application Record Form.

When possible last application is
to be made prior to maturity
• No Nitrogen is to be applied
during severe winters when no
growth occurs
• Recommend split application
with 20-40% of total PAN to be
applied by Nov. 30 and remaining
PAN balance to be applied after
Jan. 31.
• For the mountain region,
recommend no more than 30 lbs.
PAN per acre be applied per
month for June & July if moisture
is not limiting growth. Apply zero

Narrative of Operation:
T & C Dairy has a slurry storage pond that was constructed in the 1990's without the
assistance of the NRCS or the Soil and Water Conservation District. The dairy runs a
maximum of 300 head in the confined area. All waste water and scraped manure is
directed into the waste storage pond. Based on information supplied by Tony Nesbitt, and
our surveys, the pond capacity is approximately 98 days during the portions of the year
with the greatest rainfall and lowest evaporation.
When field conditions permit, waste is irrigated onto a field within 1,000 feet of the waste
storage pond. This field contains 13.4 acres wettable acres. The operator of the dairy,
Tony Nesbitt has requested that more additional fields be added to the waste utilization
plan, so fields have been added that he leases. Waste will be hauled to these fields with a
tanker and spread.
Two of the fields have soil loss in excess of 5 tons/acre/year, so field borders will be
required on those fields. These fields are number "Haggard 1" and "Merrell 1a" on the
waste application tables and on the maps. The SWCD can provide technical assistance
with the installation of these measure. NO WASTE CAN BE APPLIED TO THESE
FIELDS UNTIL THE FIELD BORDERS ARE IN PLACE WITH A GOOD STAND OF
GRASS.
Mr. Nesbitt would like to apply animal waste to the Dotson leased field. His daughter
grows organic vegetables on this field. Due to the fact that waste must be applied no
more than 30s prior to planting, and the fact that waste cannot be applied within 60 days
of harvest on vegetables for direct human consumption, waste should only be applied
during the winter on a winter cover crop.

*Actual application times will depend on gallons/minute being pumped and travel speed of
the traveling gun. Application on 0.6 inches will require some adjustment on the part of
the applicator. Experience will enable the applicator to uniformly apply the waste to the
proper depth without runoff. The irrigation equipment must also be calibrated. Slurry
waste infiltration rate will differ from the infiltration rate of the liquid also.

HOWEVER A SIMILAR TABLE WILL BE NEEDED FOR DRY LITTER OR SLURRY.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Page 24 2/2/2007
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 by the Division of Water
Quality for every day the discharge continues.
2. (The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either
owns or has a notarized long term agreement for use of adequate land on which to
properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly
dispose of waste, he/she shall provide NRCS with a copy of a notarized 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 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. Actual yields may be used in lieu of realistic yield tables
at the discretion of the planner.
4. Animd waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year.
Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS)
or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If a RMS or 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 DWQ. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 392 -
Riparian Forest Buffer.]
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when the wind is blowing or any other condition exists which
may cause a danger of drift from the irrigation field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled
crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not
occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North
Carolina" 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
WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
A
Page 25 2/2/2007
•
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 the crop
is not damaged by burning or smothering of the plant. This is an important
consideration where swine, poultry or other ammonia rich waste is being surface
applied. Surface broadcast solids or slurries may damage crops if leaf surfaces are
matted. Generally waste should be applied such that no more than 20 to 25 percent of
the leaf area is covered. This should not normally be a concern where diluted, low
nutrient waste is irrigated or surface broadcast from a liquids holding structure. Where
crops are severely damaged due to waste application, the plants cannot assimilate the
nutrients and discharge of pollutants to surface waters is likely to occur. The potential
for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered.
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. On soils with a high potential for leaching, multiple application at lower rates
should be used. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production & reduce the
potential for pollution, the waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to
planting of the crop on bare soil, or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients.
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 from any perennial stream or river (other than an
irrigation ditch or 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 surface water.
(See Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 392 - Riparian Forest Buffer)
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those
owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-
ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands
by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted
wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical
specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways which discharge
WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
• Page 26 2/2/2007
directly into water courses. If animal waste is to be applied on other grassed
waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates and 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/holding pond 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/holding pond areas
should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon/holding pond 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 an "approved 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 preplant with no further applications of
animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly visible permanent 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 element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and
alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. Soil
pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste
analysis records shall be kept for five (5) years. Poultry dry waste application records
shall be maintained for three (3) 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 NC regulations. North
Carolina General Statute 106-403 requires that dead animals be disposed of within 24
hours in a manner approved by the state veterinarian.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
This Animal Waste Management System consists of the following major components:
1. SLURRY SLURRY WASTE STORAGE POND
2. CONTAMINATED LIQUID COLLECTION AND PIPING SYSTEM
3_ IRRIGATION AND AGITATION SYSTEM
and the following associated components
4. VEGETATED DIVERSION
5. ROOF GUTTERING
6. LIVESTOCK EXCLUSION
7. CRITICAL AREA PLANTING
All solid waste will be scraped from the lots and stored in the SLURRY WASTE STORAGE
POND. Solid waste will be pumped from the SLURRY WASTE STORAGE POND and irrigated
at agronomic rates. The SLURRY WASTE STORAGE POND is designed to provide 120 days
storage for the solid wastes produced by a 250 head HOLSTEINS herd.
All contaminated runoff will flow into the SLURRY WASTE STORAGE POND. This structure
is designed to provide storage for normal rainfall runoff from the feedlot and waste water from the
milk barn for a 120 day period, -and provide storage space for the twenty-five (25) year, twenty-
four (24) hour storm runoff from the feedlot and any watershed into the pond.
This Animal Waste Management System is designed to prevent discharge of Animal Waste
Contaminates to surface waters from the twenty-five (25) ye9r, twenty-four (24) hour storm, as
required under the Non -discharge regulations.
All maintenance and operation costs are the responsibility of the landowner and cannot be cost
shared.
Tony Nesbitt T & C Dairy Farm
Buncombe County, N.C. III October 16, 1997
I. CONTAMINATED LIQUID COLLECTION AND PIPING SYSTEM
OVERVIEW
The CONTAM NATED LIQUID COLLECTION AND PIPING SYSTEM consists of a 4 inch
schedule 40 PVC pipe from a collection basin in the milking parlor. Waste water from the
milkroom is also connected to this pipe. Runoff from the lots flows directly from the lot into the
SLURRY WASTE STORAGE POND.
MAINTENANCE
Inspect the inlet of the 4 inch pipe daily to insure that nothing is washed into the pipe that may
cause a clog in the pipe. Avoid operation of heavy equipment or other activity that may crush
the pipe where it is above ground (this is only about a 6 foot section near the push off ramp).
Repair any breaks or clogs in the pipe immediately to prevent discharge.
2. SLURRY WASTE STORAGE POND
OVERVIEW
The SLURRY WASTE STORAGE POND consists of an earthen dam on three sides. The fourth
side consists of a cut slope below the lower freestall barn. The SLURRY WASTE STORAGE
POND is designed to store the average feedlot runoff and waste water from the milk barn for a 90
days period. Additional storage space is included to contain the twenty-five (25) year, twenty-
four (24) hour storm runoff from the feedlot. A pressure treated 4 inch by 4 inch post will be set
in one slope of the dam. The top of the post will be the maximum fill level for normal rainfall and
waste. The twenty-five (25) year, twenty-four (24) hour storm will be stored above this marker
and below the 1 foot allowed for freeboard. The elevation of the top of the post will be set at
elevation 95.0. The top of dam elevation is 96.9 (lowest point along the top of dam).
OPERATION
The SLURRY WASTE STORAGE POND must be operated in such a manner to insure that
waste never accumulates above the maximum fill level. This will require careful planning and
timing of application of slurry waste by irrigation. Should waste levels reach the maximum fill
level and irrigation on adjacent fields is not possible, waste should be pumped into a suitable
transport vehicle and land applied to fields in such a manner that no runoff to surface waters
occurs.

SLURRY WASTE STORAGE POND (continued)
MAINTENANCE
The concrete of the SLURRY WASTE STORAGE POND should be inspected periodically for
major cracks. Vegetation on the dam should be inspected periodically and reseeded as needed to
maintain a vigorous stand. The dam should be mowed at least annually to prevent woody growth.
Mowing operations must take place only when the soil of the dam is dry, and vegetation should
not be mowed to a height of less than four(4) inches at any time. See CRITICAL AREA
PLANTING for further maintenance requirements. Any evidence of sloughing or seepage should
be reported to the BuncombePOLK Soil & Water Conservation District office.
3. IRRIGATION AND AGITATION SYSTEM
OVERVIEW
The IRRIGATION AND AGITATION SYSTEM consists of a PTO Powered Pump, requiring a
minimum of 65 H. P., with a four inch suction and four inch discharge, above ground pipe to
irrigation fields, a transportable reel, _and a traveling irrigation gun with a two inch nozzle.
OPERATION
Irrigation operation should be initiated prior to the liquid level reaching the full storage level
marker in the structure. When the liquids level in the SLURRY WASTE STORAGE POND
reaches the marker, liquids must be removed by pumping from the structure, either into the
irrigation system or to a spreader tank for land application. Do not irrigate in such a manner as to
cause runoff or erosion. Do not irrigate on frozen or saturated soils. Irrigate only until soil is
near saturation point.
MAINTENANCE
Soil test the irrigation fields annually. Vegetation in the irrigation fields should be inspected
periodically and reseeded as needed to insure a vigorous stand. Fields may also need to be limed
and fertilized annually. It is essential that neither vehicles nor livestock be allowed to create travel
lanes within the irrigation fields. The irrigation fields should be mowed at least annually to
prevent woody growth. The irrigation fields may be control grazed or mowed for hay. Grazing
and mowing operations must take place only when the soils are dry, and vegetation should not be
grazed or mowed to a height of less than four (4) inches. See CRITICAL AREA PLANTING for
further maintenance requirements.
Tony Nesbitt T & C Dairy Farm
Buncombe County, N.C. 2 October 16, 1997
4. CONCRETE CURBING
OVERVIEW
The CONCRETE CURBING constructed on the lot will prevent contaminated liquids from
entering the stream in any storm less severe than the twenty-five (25) year, twenty-four (24) hour
storm. Theo enin in the concrete curbing ad'acent to the upper -Rush -off ram must be
permanently alunged using concrete. This is the only way to insure than runoff from the
lot enters the SLURRY WASTE STORAGE POND and does not reach surface waters.
This work must be done if the system is to obtain .0200 certification.
MAINTENANCE
The concrete should be inspected periodically for major cracks.
5. VEGETATED DIVERSION
OVERVIEW
The existing VEGETATED DIVERSION is located above the freestall barns and lots and will
convey non -contaminated runoff around the operation to the drainage ditch on the South end of
the operation.
MAINTENANCE
The vegetation in the diversion should be inspected periodically and reseeded as needed to insure
a vigorous stand. It is essential that neither vehicles nor livestock be allowed to create travel
lanes within the diversion. The diversion should be mowed at least annually to prevent woody
growth. The diversion may be control grazed or mowed for hay. Grazing and mowing
operations must take place only when the soils are dry, and vegetation should not be grazed or
mowed to a height of less than four (4) inches. If sedimentation has reduced the capacity of the
channel, contact the POLK Soil and Water Conservation District for technical assistance in
correcting this problem. See CRITICAL AREA PLANTING for further maintenance
requirements.
Tony Nesbitt T & C Dairy Farrar
Buncombe County, N.C. 3 October 16, 1997
G. ROOF GUTTERING
OVERVIEW
The freestall barns and other roofed structures have existing guttering systems. No roof runoff
now enters the SLURRY WASTE STORAGE POND.
MAINTENANCE
Gutters shall be inspected each fall or early winter for debris accumulation. Clean out all
accumulated debris. Inspect gutters and downspouts periodically for damage. Repair or replace
damaged components immediately. Inspect downspouts outlets to insure free flow of water into
the drop structure.
7. CRITICAL AREA PLANTING
OVERVIEW
Any areas of exposed soil which will not be covered by a structure shall be seeded to permanent
vegetation. CRITICAL AREA PLANTING applies to the VEGETATED DIVERSION and daze
on the SLURRY WASTE storage POND.
MAINTENANCE
Soil samples should be taken at least once per year. Fertilizer and lime should be applied at the
rates recommended as a result of the soil test. Fertilizer and lime should be applied either during
September -October or February -March. Vegetation should be inspected periodically and
reseeded as needed to insure a vigorous stand_ It is essential that neither vehicles nor livestock be
allowed to use any area that has been treated with CRITICAL AREA PLANTING as a travel
lane. All CRITICAL AREA PLANTING should be mowed at least annually to prevent woody
growth. Mowing operations must take place only when the soil is dry and vegetation should not
be mowed to a height of less than four (4) inches at any time. Do not mow cool season grasses
during periods when plants are showing signs of.drought stress.

GENERAL COMMENTS
PESTICIDE USE
Extreme care should be exercised with the use of all herbicides so that desirable vegetation,
especially that of the VEGETATED DIVERSION and dam, is not adversely affected. It is a
violation of law to use any pesticide in a manner not permitted by its labeling, To protect
yourself, never apply any pesticide in a manner or for a purpose other than as instructed on the
label or in labeling accompanying the pesticide product that you purchase. Do not ignore the
instructions for use of protective clothing and devices and for storage and disposal of pesticide
wastes, including containers.
REPAIRS
Notify the POM Soil and Water conservation District if repairs or major modifications are
required for any of the components of this Waste Management System.

Irrivation
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.
You must have the animal waste analyzed to determine nutrient content
as close to the time of application as practical and at least within
60 days of the date of application before each application cycle.
Soil nutrients in all fields where waste will be applied must be
analyzed at least annually so that all plant nutrients can be balanced
for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Soil test and waste
analysis records shall be kept for five (5) years. Poultry dry waste
application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste
application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five
(5) years.
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. Lime must be
applied to application fields as recommended by soil test to
maintain the plant uptake of nutrients.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration
rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and
available water Bolding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at
greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special
precautions, (see Required Specification No. 4) waste may be
applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year.
1
•- •
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 a violation
of the North Carolina Division of water Quality (NCDWQ)
_0200 regulations.
5. wind conditions at the time of field application of waste
should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor
problems.
6. 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. Otherwise apply waste no
earlier than 30 days prior to planting a crop or prior to
forages breaking dormancy. Injecting or otherwise
incorporating the waste below the soil surface will conserve
nutrients and -reduce odor problems.
7. zinc and copper levels in the soils in all fields where
waste is applied shall be monitored and alternative
application fields shall be used when these metals approach
excess levels.
This plan is based on waste application by irrigation for this is the
manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you choose to
alter the method(s) of application in the future, you need to revise
this plan. Nutrient levels for various waste application methods are
not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for dairy systems in North Carolina. Actual
acreage requirements shall be based on waste analysis reports from
storage structures in your waste management system. Attached you will
find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and
transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis.
Your SLURRY WASTE STORAGE POND is designed for 120 days of temporary
storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of
once every FOUR MONTHS. if your facility is unroofed, in no instance
should the volume of waste being stored in your structure be higher
than the maximum storage marker except in the event of a 25 year, 24
hour storm.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste
report for assistance in determining the amount per acre to
the proper application rate prior to applying the waste.

The waste management system which is covered by this waste utilization
plan shall be operated only by persons which hold a valid certificate
as an operator in charge of an animal waste management system. The
North Carolina Water Quality Commission will provide training and
certification of operators.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements
for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 (the .0200 rules) adopted by the
Water Quality Commission.

Applying the above amount of waste as calculated above is a big job.
You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste
in a timely manner.
Values used above are based on analysis of waste
from similar livestock operations in North Carolina
(source: USDA-NRCS FOTG Practice Standard 633 -Waste
Utilization). Actual nutrient content of the waste
from this system may vary from these values. Waste
analysis should be made of the actual waste as soon
as possible after significant waste accumulates in
the storage structure(s).
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.
G
•
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the infiltration
rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding
occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil
structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The
application amount should not exceed the available water holding
capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant
available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop.
It is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to
ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the
acres shown in tables 1 through 3. Failure to apply the recommended
rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan
invalid.
Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying forage plants under
stress condition. Nitrate poisoning may occur in livestock. Sampling
forage or hay for nitrate levels is recommended.

WASTE APPLICATION TABLES
The crop fields shown in the waste Application Tables that follow are
available for waste application. It will not be necessary and may not
be desirable to apply waste to each of these fields in any given year.
The Lbs. of Nitrogen Per Acre shown in the tables are estimated annual
nitrogen (N) requirements of the crop to be grown based on the
potential productivity of the soil and assuming no double cropping.
The Recommended Lbs. of N to be Applied per acre indicates the
Nitrogen that can be reasonably applied to the crop and used by the
crop in a timely manner using animal waste alone. It will not be
practical to meet all the nutrient needs of some crops with animal
waste. Supplemental applications of commercial fertilizer may be
required during the growing season in order to meet all crop nutrient
needs. it is assumed that for certain row crops only a fraction of
the total annual nitrogen requirement can be applied using animal
waste.
The landowner shall record the actual waste application volume made on
each field on the Department of Water Quality Waste Application Record
Form.

FIELD OFFICE INSTRUCTIONS
1. The waste utilization plan will include all the animal waste generated on the farm.
2. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must be maintained below the
maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25 -year, 24-hour storm event
in addition to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard.
16
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1. 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 Water Quality for every day the discharge continues.
2. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic
crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions,
and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of
application for other nutrients. Actual yields may be used in lieu of realistic yield
tables at the discretion of the planner.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year.
Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS)
or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If a RMS or 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 DWQ.
4. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when the wind is blowing or any other condition exists which
may cause a danger of drift from the irrigation field.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.
8. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop
is not damaged by burning or smothering of the plant. This is an important
consideration where swine, poultry or other ammonia rich waste is being surface
applied. Surface broadcast solids or slurries may damage crops if leaf surfaces are
matted. Generally waste should be applied such that no more than 20 to 25 percent of
the leaf area is covered. This should not normally be a concern where diluted, low
nutrient waste is irrigated or surface broadcast from a liquids holding structure.
Where crops are severely damaged due to waste application, the plants cannot
assimilate the nutrients and discharge of pollutants to surface waters is likely to occur.
The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered.
17
REQ UIRED SPECIFI CA TIONS
9. 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. On sails with a high potential for leaching, multiple application at lower
rates should be used. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production &
reduce the potential for pollution, the waste shall not be applied more than 30 days
prior to planting of the crop on bare soil, or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the
waste or disking will conserve nutrients.
10. 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 from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation
ditch or 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 surface water.
11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those
owned by the landowner.
13_ Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-
ways.
14. 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
wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical
specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways which discharge
directly into water courses. If animal waste is to be applied on other grassed
waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates and in a manner that causes no
runoff or drift from the site.
15. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc.,
shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system.
16_ A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas
(lagoontholding pond 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/holding pond areas
should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon/holding pond berms and structures
should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge.
17. if animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing an "approved closure plan" which will
eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
18. 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_
18
REQUIRED SPECIFICA TIONS
21. 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 preplant with no further applications of
animal waste during the crop season.
22. Highly visible permanent 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.
23. 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 element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and
alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. Soil
pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste
analysis records shall be kept for five (5) years. Poultry dry waste application records
shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application records for all other waste
shall be maintained for five (5) years.
24. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets NC regulations. North
Carolina General Statute 106403 requires that dead animals be disposed of within 24
hours in a manner approved by the state veterinarian.

This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking,
overflowing, or running off site. You should not wait until wastes reach surface waters or
leave your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort
to ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be posted in an accessible
location for all employees at the facility. The following are some action items you
should take.
1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be
possible. Suggested responses to some possible problems are listed below.
A. Lagoon overflow -possible solutions are:
a. Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam.
b. Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate.
c. Stop all flows to the lagoon immediately.
d. Call a pumping contractor.
e. Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon.
B: Runoff from waste application field -actions include:
a. Immediately stop waste application.
b. Create a temporary diversion to contain waste.
c. Incorporate waste to reduce runoff.
d. Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s) that caused the runoff.
e. Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred.

Dear John K. Nesbitt:
The Non -Discharge Permitting Unit has completed a preliminary engineering review of the subject
application. Additional information is required before we can continue our review. Please address the
following by August 21, 1999:
1. The volume used to calculate the amount of waste produced per year and the Plant
Available Nitrogen (PAN)produced in the waste does not appear to include lot runoff,
mills parlor wastewater, rainfall, or bedding. The Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) will
need to be revised using the correct total volume or the amount of PAN generated per
head from the NRCS Waste Utilization Standard for Dairy Liquid Manure Slurry. I have
contacted Gary Higgins of the Buncombe Soil and Water District and discussed this with
him.
2. Please submit an Operation and Maintenance Plan for the Waste Storage Pond.
3. Your WUP lists waste application to Corn silage and rye grain as one entry. Please have
a technical specialist revise the WUP to show separate entries for application to Corn and
application to Rye with crop specific application rates and appropriate application
windows.
4. The WUP submitted was not signed by either the owner or the technical specialist.
Please be sure that the revised WUP is signed and dated by the owner and the technical
specialist.
5. An Animal Waste Utilization Agreement was submitted for leased land however, the
agreement was not properly signed. If you intend to apply waste onto leased land please
have the owner of the land signed the Animal Waste Utilization Agreement. This
agreement does not need to be notarized.

Please note that all WUP revisions must be signed and dated by both the owner and the technical
specialist. Please reference the subject permit application number when providing the requested
information. All information should be signed, sealed, and submitted in duplicate to my attention at the
address below. The information requested by this letter, must be submitted on or before August 21,
1999 or the Division will return your application as incomplete in accordance with 15A N.C.A.C. 2H
.0200 and your facility will be considered to be operating without a permit.
Please be advised that operation of the subject animal waste management system without a valid permit
is a violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and will subject you to the enforcement
authority of the Environmental Management Commission.
If you have any questions regarding this request, please call me at (919) 733-5083, extension 502.

SYSTEM CAPACITY
T & C DAIRY
(Tony Nesbitt)
System Components:
1. Slurry collection pond (existing) (app. 98 days storage)
2. Irrigation system (traveling gun)
3. Slurry spreader unit
The dairy has an existing slurry storage pond that was built in the
late 1980's. The pond stores waste from the milkroom and milking
parlor; all the scraped manure; the runoff from the lots, grassed
areas, and the stock trail. With 300 confined cows, the pond will
store approximately 98 days in the winter months and more other times
of the year.
Below is a sketch of the existing system:
1
I.VOLUMES - SLURRY COLLECTION POND
These calculations have been.done to.estimate the amount _of Ztorage
(in terms of days) of the existi_ng earthen pond below the facility.
I. SOLID WASTE TO BE COLLECTED
a. Scraped manure from lots and freestalls
b. waste feed
C. Waste bedding
A. Manure
Average herd size = 300 cows
Average cow weight = 1,400 lbs.
From table 4-5, Agricultural Waste Management Field Handbook, the
daily waste production of a lactating cow is 80 lbs -/1,000 lbs.
of animal weight. For a manure weight of 60 lbs./ cu. ft. this
would be 1.33 cu. ft./cow/day for a 1,000 lb. cow. At 1,400
lbs./cow this would be 1.86 cu. ft./day.
1.86 cu. ft./cow/day x 300 cows = 528 cu. ft./day
The cows are milked 3 times per day and spend the remainder of
the time on pastures adjacent to the facility. They are on the
lot approximately 3. hours at each milking. Therefore, it would
probably be safe to assume that 70s of the daily manure output is
actually deposited on the lot. Therefore:
528 cu. ft./day x .70 = 370 cu. ft./day
B. Waste bedding
The Crowells are currently bedding with sawdust. From Table 4.4
(AWMFH), the daily bedding requirement for dairy cattle in freestall
housing using shavings or sawdust is 3.1 lbs./1,000 lbs. of animal
weight per day. Therefore, it would be 4.03 lbs./cow/day for 1,400
lb. animals.
4.03 lbs./cow/day x 300 cows = 1,209 lbs.
Sawdust averages 12 lbs./cu. ft., therefore:
1,209 lbs./day
12 lbs./cu./ft. = 101 cu. ft. of waste bedding/day]
F
C. Waste feed: -
Assume that the amount of waste feed is 0._5 lbs./cow/day,.
300 cows x 0.5 lbs./cow/day = 150 lbs./day
Assuming that silage weighs about the same as sawdust (12 lbs. cu.
ft . ), therefore:
150 lbs. = 15.5 cuft. of waste feed/day
12 lbs./cu. ft.

CAPACITY OF EXISTING WASTE HOLDING POND:
The top dimensions of -the pond are -105 ft -.--x 107 ft. and -the -depth is
14 feet, with 2:1 side slopes on the inside of the pond. Allowing 1
foot of freeboard, the storage dimensions would be 101 ft. x-103 ft. x
13.0 feet deep. The capacity was calculated as follows:
Volume = Depth {(area of top) + (area of bottom) + (4 * area of
6 midsection)} = ft.3
V = 13.0 x f (10,403) + (2,499) + (4 x 5,775)}

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. You must have the
animal waste analyzed to determine nutrient content as Gose to the time of application as
practical and at least within 60 days of the date of application before each application
cycle. Soil nutrients in all fields where waste will be applied must be analyzed at least
annually so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be
grown. Soil test and waste analysis records shall be kept for five (5) years_ Poultry dry
waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application
records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years.
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. Lime must
be applied to application fields as recommended by soil test to maintain the plant
uptake of nutrients.
10127199
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials,
cation exchange capacities, and avaaable water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall not be applied to.land eroding -at greater than 5 tons per acre per
year. With special precautions, (see Required Specification No. 4) waste may be
applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year.
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 a violation of
the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) .0200 regulations.
5. Wind conditions at the time of field application of waste should also be considered to
avoid drift and downwind odor problems.
6. 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. Otherwise apply waste no
earlier than 30 days prior to planting a crop or prior to forages breaking dormancy.
Injecting or otherwise incorporating the waste below the soil surface will conserve
nutrients and reduce odor problems.
7. Zinc and copper levels in the soils in all fields where waste is applied shall be
monitored and alternative application fields shall be used when these metals approach
excess levels.
This plan is based on waste application by irrigation and broadcasting with a spreader. If
you choose to alter the method(s) of application in the future, you need to revise this plan.
Nutrient levels for various waste application methods are not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content
for dairy systems in North Carolina. Actual acreage requirements shall be based on
waste analysis reports from storage structures in your waste management system.
Your slurry storage pond is designed for 98 days of temporary storage and the temporary
storage must be removed on the average of once every 3 MONTHS. If your facility is
unroofed, in no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure be
higher than the maximum storage marker except in the event of a 25 year, 24 hour storm.
Call your technical specialist 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.
The waste management system which is covered by this waste utilization plan shall be
operated only by persons which hold a valid certificate as an operator in charge of an
animal waste management system_ The North Carolina Water Quality Commission will
provide training and certification of operators.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The following two pages of this plan contain the calculations for PAN from liquid and solid
waste. T & C Dairy will be applying the waste both by irrigation and spreader equipment.
PAN is calculated differently with these two methods of application. The table below
shows the difference in the two methods and PAN.

Calculating the PAN using both methods of application will be very complicated and
cumbersome. Additionally, at this point it will be virtually impossible to calculate the actual
PAN in the stored waste when rainfall runoff is included. Therefore the higher rate of
PAN will be used (sareader broadcast) in calculating the amount of total PAN and the
acreage needed for waste application. This will result in a slight overestimation of the
PAN to be applied and the acreage needed. This will be toward the conservative side
since the farmer will be applying approximately 50% by each application method. When
enough samples have been obtained the farmer will use the PAN figures from them to
determine the amounts to apply_

Applying the above amount of waste as calculated above is a big job. You should plan
time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
Values used above are based on analysis "of waste from similar livestock operations in
North Carolina (source: USDA-NRCS FOTG Practice Standard 633 -Waste Utilization).
Actual nutrient content of the waste from this system may vary from these values. Waste
analysis should be made of the actual waste as soon as possible after significant waste
accumulates in the storage structure(s).
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.
W TE UTILIZATZ4N IRAN
T & C Dairy . :: iPage'7 . 1UJ...... .
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the infiltration rate of the soil at the time
of irrigation such that runeff or ponding occurs_ This -rate is limited by initial soil moisture
content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application
amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of
irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the
crop.
It is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation
system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in tables 1 through 3. Failure to
apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this
plan invalid.
Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying forage plants under stress condition.
Nitrate poisoning may occur in livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is
recommended.

WASTE APPLICATION TABLES
The crop fields shown in the Waste Application Tables that follow are available for waste
application. It will not be necessary and may not be desirable to apply waste to each of
these fields in any given year.
The Lbs. of Nitrogen Per Acre shown in the tables are estimated annual nitrogen (N)
requirements of the crop to be grown based on the potential productivity of the soil and
assuming no double cropping.
The Recommended Lbs_ of N to be Applied per acre indicates the Nitrogen that can be
reasonably applied to the crop and used by the crop in a timely manner using animal
waste alone. It will not be practical to meet all the nutrient needs of some crops with
animal waste. Supplemental applications of commercial fertilizer may be required during
the growing season in order to meet all crop nutrient needs. It is assumed that for certain
row crops only a fraction of the total annual nitrogen requirement can be applied using
animal waste.
The landowner shall record the actual waste application volume made on each field on the
Department of Water Quality Waste Application Record Form.

This summary indicates that only about 89 percent of the total annual nitrogen
requirements can be provided for the crops as listed for the fields available using animal
waste produced on this livestock operation.
Narrative of Operation:
Mr. Nesbitt has a slurry storage pond that was constructed several years ago without
NRCS or District assistance. Based on a 300 -cow herd, and survey information and
information provided by Mr. Nesbitt, the storage period of the pond has been estimated to
be approximately 98 days during the months of December -March.
All lot runoff and other waste water is directed into the storage pond as well as all lot
scraped manure. Waste is irrigated to a field adjacent to the storage pond that is owned
by T & C Dairy. This field is approximately 29 acres in size. Currently about half the field
is under lease to another farmer and cannot be utilized for waste application. The
wettable acres have been determined to be 13.4 acres. The remaining waste is hauled by
spreader to fields approximately 3 miles to the east of the dairy. These are the leased
fields shown earlier in this plan. There are approximately 23 usable acres in these fields.
A spreader truck is used to apply waste to these fields.
Please note page 9 for waste application windows as they apply to the wheat cover crop
and the corn silage. Waste should be applied only during the times specked in the
window table.

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1. 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 Water Quality for every day the discharge continues.
2. (The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either
owns or has a notarized long term agreement for use of adequate land on which to
properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly
dispose of waste, he/she shall provide NRCS with a copy of a notarized 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 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. Actual yields may be used in lieu of realistic yield tables
at the discretion of the planner.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year.
Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS)
or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If a RMS or 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 DWQ. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 392 -
Riparian Forest Buffer.]
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when the wind is blowing or any other condition exists which
may cause a danger of drift from the irrigation field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled
crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not
occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North
Carolina" 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 the crop
is not damaged by buming or smothering of the plant_ This is an important
consideration where swine, poultry or other ammonia rich waste is being surface
applied. Surface broadcast solids or slurries may damage crops if leaf surfaces are
matted. Generally waste should be applied such that no more than 20 to 25 percent of
the leaf area is covered. This should not normally be a concern where diluted, low
nutrient waste is irrigated or surface broadcast from a liquids holding structure. Where
crops are severely damaged due to waste application, the plants cannot assimilate the
nutrients and discharge of pollutants to surface waters is likely to occur. The potential
for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered_
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. On soils with a high potential for leaching, multiple application at lower rates
should be used. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production & reduce the
potential for pollution, the waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to
planting of the crop on bare soil, or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients_
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 from any perennial stream or river (other than an
irrigation ditch or 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 surface water.
(See Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 392 - Riparian Forest Buffer)
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those
owned by the landowner_
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-
ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands
by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted

wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical
specialist"_ Animal waste shall not -be applied on grassed waterways which discharge
directly into water courses. If animal waste is to be applied on other grassed
waterways, waste shalt be applied at agronomic rates and 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/holding pond 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/holding pond areas
should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoontholding pond 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 an "approved 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 preplant with no further applications of
animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly visible permanent 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 element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and
altemative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. Soil
pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste
analysis records shall be kept for five (5) years. Poultry dry waste application records
shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application records for all other waste
shall be maintained for five (5) years.

Evaluation of Safety of Waste Storage Pond Dam
T & C Daiiry Farm
The dam was built approximately 7 year ago and show little sign of deterioration.
The side slopes are 2:1 on the inside and approximately 3:1 on the outside,
although there are a few steeper areas on the outside. No loose soil or
sloughing is evident on the dam, and there are no wet spots on the outside of
the dam_ The top of the dam is fairly level, and there are no trees growing in or
near the dam.
There is a small area on the outside toe of the dam that has been excavated to
allow pumping. The soil in this area appears to be stable, and probably will not
constitute a problem with dam safety. Overall, the dam appears to be fairly safe.

SYSTEM CAPACITY
TONY NESBITT DAIRY
System Components:
1. Slurry collection pond (existing) (120 days storage)
2. Irrigation system (traveling gun)
The dairy has an existing slurry storage pond that was built in the
late 1980's. The pond stores waste from the milkroom and milking
parlor; all the scraped manure; the runoff from the lots, grassed
areas, and the stock trail. The pond will store approximately 120
days in the winter months and more other times of the year.
Below is a sketch of the existing system:
1
U
I.VOLUMES - SLURRY COLLECTION POND C)
These calculations have been done to estimate the amount of storage
(in terms of days) of the existing earthen pond below the facility.
I. SOLID WASTE TO BE COLLECTED
a. Scraped manure from lots and freestalls
b. Waste feed
C. Waste bedding
A. Manure
Average herd size = 250 cows
Average cow weight = 1,400 lbs.
From table 4-5, Agricultural Waste Management Field Handbook, the
daily waste production of a lactating cow is 80 lbs./1,000 lbs.
of animal weight. For a manure weight of 60 lbs./cu. ft. this
would be 1.33 cu. ft./cow/day for a 1,000 lb. cow. At 1,400
lbs./cow this would be 1.86 cu. f t./day.
1.86 cu. f t./cow/day x 250 cows = 465 cu. ft./day
The cows are milked 3 times per day and spend the remainder of
the time on pastures adjacent to the facility. They are on the
lot approximately 3 hours at each milking. Therefore, it would
probably be safe to assume that 70k of the daily manure output is
actually deposited on the lot. Therefore:
465 cu. f t./day x .70 = 326 cu. ft./day
B. Waste bedding
The Crowells are currently bedding with sawdust. From Table 4.4
(AWMFH), the daily bedding requirement for dairy cattle in freestall
housing using shavings or sawdust is 3.1 lbs./1,000 lbs. of animal
weight per day. Therefore, it would be 4.03 lbs./cow/day for 1,400
lb. animals.
4.03 lbs./cow/day x 250 cows = 1,008 lbs.
Sawdust averages 12 lbs./cu. ft., therefore:
1 008 lbs. da
12 lbs./cu./ft. = 84 cu. ft. of waste bedding/day
r,
0
C. Waste feed:
Assume that the amount of waste feed is 0.5 lbs./cow/day:
250 cows x 0.5 lbs./caw/day = 125 lbs./day
Assuming that silage weighs about the same as sawdust (12 lbs. cu.
ft.), therefore:
125 lbs. = 10 cu. ft. of waste feed/day
12 lbs./cu. ft.
D. Volume Summary for Solids
Scraped manure .................... 326 cu. ft.
Waste Bedding ..................... 84 cu. ft.
Waste Feed ........................ 10 cu. ft.
TOTAL 420 cu. ft./day
Volume Total For 120 Days For Solids:
420 cu. ft./day x 120 days = 50,400 cu. ft.

II. LIQUID WASTE TO BE COLLECTED IN THE SLURRY POND

Runoff from normal rainfall and the 25 year, 24 hour storm must be
calculated from the following areas:
1. Lot areas (concrete)....................3,720 sq, ft.
2. Grassed areas incl. pond side slopes.... 5,340 sq. ft,
3. Stock trail between lots................2,600 sq. ft.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
This Animal Waste Management System consists of the following major components:
1. SLURRY SLURRY WASTE STORAGE POND
2. CONTAMINATED LIQUID COLLECTION AND PIPING SYSTEM
3. IRRIGATION AND AGITATION SYSTEM
and the following associated components
4. VEGETATED DIVERSION
5. ROOF GUTTERING
6. LIVESTOCK EXCLUSION
7_ CRITICAL AREA PLANTING
Alf solid waste will be scraped from the lots and stored in the SLURRY WASTE STORAGE
POND. Solid waste will be pumped from the SLURRY WASTE STORAGE POND and irrigated
at agronomic rates. The SLURRY WASTE STORAGE POND is designed to provide 120 days
storage for the solid wastes produced by a 250 head HOLSTEINS herd.
All contaminated runoff will flow into the SLURRY WASTE STORAGE POND. This structure
is designed to provide storage for normal rainfall runoff from the feedlot and waste water from the
milk barn for a 120 day period, -and provide storage space for the twenty-five (25) year, twenty-
four (24) hour storm runoff from the feedlot and any watershed into the pond.
This Animal Waste Management System is designed to prevent discharge of Animal Waste
Contaminates to surface waters from the twenty-five (25) year, twenty-four (24) hour storm, as
required under the Non -discharge regulations.
All maintenance and operation costs are the responsibility of the landowner and cannot be cost
shared.

I. CONTAMINATED LIQUID COLLECTION AND PIPING SYSTEM
04.1Ut3���'A
The CONTAMINATED LIQUID COLLECTION AND PIPING SYSTEM consists of a 4 inch
schedule 40 PVC pipe from a collection basin in the milking parlor. Waste water from the
milkroom is also connected to this pipe. Runoff from the lots flows directly from the lot into the
SLURRY WASTE STORAGE POND.
MAINTENANCE
Inspect the inlet of the 4 inch pipe daily to insure that nothing is washed into the pipe that may
cause a clog in the pipe. Avoid operation of heavy equipment or other activity that may crush
the pipe where it is above ground (this is only about a 6 foot section near the push off ramp).
Repair any breaks or clogs in the pipe immediately to prevent discharge.
2. SLURRY WASTE STORAGE POND
OVERVIEW
The SLURRY WASTE STORAGE POND consists of an earthen dam on three sides. The fourth
side consists of a cut slope below the lower freestall barn. The SLURRY WASTE STORAGE
POND is designed to store the average feedlot runoff and waste water from the milk barn for a 90
days period. Additional storage space is included to contain the twenty-five (25) year, twenty-
four (24) hour storm runoff from the feedlot. A pressure treated 4 inch by 4 inch post will be set
in one slope of the dam. The top of the post will be the maximum fill level for normal rainfall and
waste. The twenty-five (25) year, twenty-four (24) hour storm will be stored above this marker
and below the 1 foot allowed for freeboard. The elevation of the top of the post will be set at
elevation 95.0. The top of dam elevation is 96.9 (lowest point along the top of dam). r�
OPERATION
The SLURRY WASTE STORAGE POND must be operated in such a manner to insure that
waste never accumulates above the maximum fill level. This will require careful planning and
timing of application of slurry waste by irrigation. Should waste levels reach the maximum fill
level and irrigation on adjacent fields is not possible, waste should be pumped into a suitable
transport vehicle and land applied to fields in such a manner that no runoff to surface waters
occurs_

SLURRY WASTE STORAGE POND (continued)
MAINTENANCE
The concrete of the SLURRY WASTE STORAGE POND should be inspected periodically for
major cracks_ Vegetation on the dam should be inspected periodically and reseeded as needed to
maintain a vigorous stand. The dam should be mowed at least annually to prevent woody growth.
Mowing operations must take place only when the soil of the dam is dry, and vegetation should
not be mowed to a height of less than four(4) inches at any time. See CRITICAL AREA
PLANTING for further maintenance requirements. Any evidence of sloughing or seepage should
be reported to the BuncombePOLK Soil & Water Conservation District office.
3. IRRIGATION AND AGITATION SYSTEM
OVERVIEW
The IRRIGATION AND AGITATION SYSTEM consists of a PTO Powered Pump, requiring a
minimum of 65 H. P., with a four inch suction and four inch discharge, above ground pipe to
irrigation fields, a transportable reel—and a traveling irrigation gun with a two inch nozzle.
OPERATION
Irrigation operation should be initiated prior to the liquid level reaching the full storage level
marker in the structure. When the liquids level in the SLLJRRY WASTE STORAGE POND
reaches the marker, liquids must be removed by pumping from the structure, either into the
irrigation system or to a spreader tank for land application. Do not irrigate in such a manner as to
cause runoff or erosion. Do not irrigate on frozen or saturated soils. Irrigate only until soil is
near saturation point.
MAINTENANCE
Soil test the irrigation fields annually. Vegetation in the irrigation fields should be inspected
periodically and reseeded as needed to insure a vigorous stand. Fields may also need to be limed
and fertilized annually. It is essential that neither vehicles nor livestock be allowed to create travel
lanes within the irrigation fields. The irrigation fields should be mowed at least annually to
prevent woody growth. The irrigation fields may be control grazed or mowed for hay. Grazing
and mowing operations must take place only when the soils are dry, and vegetation should not be
grazed or mowed to a height of less than four (4) inches. See CRITICAL AREA PLANTING for
further maintenance requirements.

4. CONCRETE CURBING
OVERVIEW
The CONCRETE CURBING constructed on the lot will prevent contaminated liquids from
entering the stream in any storm less severe than the twenty-five (25) year, twenty-four (24) hour
storm. The oi)ening in the concrete curbin ad'acent to the upperpush-off ramp must be
permanently plugged using concrete. This is the only -way only-wayto insure than runoff from the
lot enters the SLURRY WASTE STORAGE POND and does not reach surface waters.
This work must be done if the system is to obtain .0200 certification.
MAINTENANCE
The concrete should be inspected periodically for major cracks.
5. VEGETATED DIVERSION
CIP/_ . / 1 A �
The existing VEGETATED DIVERSION is located above the freestall barns and lots and will
convey non -contaminated runoff around the operation to the drainage ditch on the South end of
the operation.
MAINTENANCE
The vegetation in the diversion should be inspected periodically and reseeded as needed to insure
a vigorous stand. It is essential that neither vehicles nor livestock be allowed to create travel
lanes within the diversion. The diversion should be mowed at least annually to prevent woody
growth. The diversion may be control grazed or mowed for hay. Grazing and mowing
operations must take place only when the soils are dry, and vegetation should not be grazed or
mowed to a height of less than four (4) inches. If sedimentation has reduced the capacity of the
channel, contact the POLK Soil and Water Conservation District for technical -assistance in
correcting this problem. See CRITICAL AREA PLANTING for further maintenance
requirements.

6. ROOF GUTTERING
OVERVIEW
The freestall barns and other roofed structures have existing guttering systems_ No roof runoff
now enters the SLURRY WASTE STORAGE POND.
MAINTENANCE
Gutters shall be inspected each fall or early winter for debris accumulation. Clean out all
accumulated debris. Inspect gutters and downspouts periodically for damage. Repair or replace
damaged components immediately_ Inspect downspouts outlets to insure free flow of water into
the drop structure.
7. CRITICAL AREA PLANTING
OVERVIEW
Any areas of exposed soil which will not be covered by a structure shall be seeded to permanent
vegetation. CRITICAL AREA PLANTING applies to the VEGETATED DIVERSION and dam
on the SLURRY WASTE storage POND.
MAINTENANCE
Soil samples should be taken at least once per year. Fertilizer and lime should be applied at the
rates recommended as a result of the soil test. Fertilizer and lime should be applied either during
September -October or February -March. Vegetation should be inspected periodically and
reseeded as needed to insure a vigorous stand. It is essential that neither vehicles nor livestock be
allowed to use any area that has been treated with CRITICAL AREA PLANTING as a travel
lane. All CRITICAL AREA PLANTING should be mowed at least annually to prevent woody
growth. Mowing operations must take place only when the soil is dry and vegetation should not
be mowed to a height of less than four (4) inches at any time. Do not mow cool season grasses
during periods when plants are showing signs of drought stress.

GENERAL COMMENTS
PESTICIDE USE
Extreme care should be exercised with the use of all herbicides so that desirable vegetation,
especially that of the VEGETATED DIVERSION and dam, is not adversely affected. It is a
violation of law to use any pesticide in a manner not permitted by its labeling. To protect
yourself, never apply any pesticide in a manner or for a purpose other than as instructed on the
label or in labeling accompanying the pesticide product that you purchase. Do not ignore the
instructions for use of protective clothing and devices and for storage and disposal of pesticide
wastes, including containers.
