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.

T & C Dairy will be applying the waste both by irrigation and spreader equipment. PAN is calculated differently with these two methods of application.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 I WPIC UTILIZATION PLON T R _C -Daily . ,.Page a 9 _10/27199 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.

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 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Page 3 2/2/2007 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.

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 UTILIZATION PLAN Page 8 2/2/2007 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.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Page 15 2/2/2007 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. •r T1 r+/� P .'[� : � ,., y,�,,,,� 'max .':�:". f � � a lop J S�•' �. �+�-, •�-.,.,:.+�.,, y" i _ .,fir UA we it �`. _ � -`+�1 , �.�'• ., 1 �� / �� +r.Y g ' ' y� ter .• �iY•'S 1 •' / 13-gf icery%A� � ... 4�': •�. / i J - i j � Y :f' • r y = `. t.: l� ti. . 7�1 fir'• - :t.`'.y r� I .•1' q Y •y .:/ IIS,;4h ? •�, �+� / "�.:- ;z.. •..�. fir, il•-'• r �� •"J�Lr � i�~. .•a' I,l.•� ..ie• C'• a;�r • ^'A I' A V �' « ) t' e t y l •5 .1 j1� , VAI •!�� ^t.tt...t� t S{.�k�'ti'i`.wlly���•r••f.S', t l.:- r i is { .

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 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" 41 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Page 3 2/2/2007 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.

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. C! WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Page 7 212/2007 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 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 UTILIZATION PLAN Page 8 2/2/2007 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.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Page 15 2/2/2007 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. 3' .� 4 .

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Page 23 APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION 2/2/2007 Field No. Tract No. Soil Type Crop Application Rate In./Hr.) Application Amount (inches) Application Time Hours GANesbitt-t lotla, Rosman, Dillard, Statler CS with winter cover 0.6 0.6 "1.2 *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. 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. 6 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.

II October 16, 1997 0 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. Tony Nesbitt T & C Dairy Farm Buncombe County, N.C. 1 October 16, 1997 0 0 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. Tony Nesbitt T & C Dairy Farm Buncombe County, N.C. 4 October 16, 1997 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.

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. 2 analysis apply and 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. 3 • ESTIMATE OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN ERO LIQ1111) WASTE Amount of Waste Produced Per Year animals x gallons on waste/animal/day x 365 days gallons of waste per year animals x gallons of excess water/animal/day x 365 days gallons of excess water per year gallons of waste / year . gallons of excess water/year = Total gallons of waste water per year / 1000 = 100 gallon units per year. *Total N lbs. per 1000 gallons x (Plant nutrient availability coefficient for appropriate application method Amount of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) Produced Per Year from waste Water 1000 gallon units per year x lbs.

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. 7 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.

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.

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. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 Telephone 919-733-5083 FAX 919-715-6046 An Equal Opportunity Affirmatroe Action Employer 50% recycled/ 10% post -consumer paper Application No. 11-0006 John K.

Sincerely, Sue Homewood - Environmental Engineer Non -Discharge Permitting Unit cc: Arsheville=Regional:Office; Water -Quality -M Gary Higgins, Buncombe Soil & Water Conservation District Permit File October 27, 1999 Gary Higgins Buncombe Soil and Water Conservation District 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.

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.

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_ STE UT1LIZATI0N AN l 0/27199; ESTIMATE OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN FROM LIQUID WASTE Amount of Waste Produced Per Year "Nutrients are calculated for waste water from the milkroom and milking parlor.

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. S TE..t T'& C Dai LZATLONSLAN :.... e8 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 specked in the window table.

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.) STE UTILIZATIONALAN. T & G Dairy Page 1$ . , ] 0/27 9: 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.

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.

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.

II October 16, 1997 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. Tony Nesbitt T & C Dairy Farm Buncombe County, N.C. III October 16, 1997 • 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_ 4 Tony Nesbitt T & C Dairy Farm Buncombe County, N.C. 1 October 16, 1997 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. 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. 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. Tony Nesbitt T & C Dairy Farm Buncombe County, N.C. 3 October 16, 1997 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. Tony Nesbitt T & C Dairy Farm Buncombe County, N.C. 4 October 16, 1997 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. V., -4_D 191;.
