NORTH CAROLINA
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT COMMISSION
DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES
INDIVIDUAL CATTLE ANIMAL WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM PERMIT
In accordance with the provisions of Article 21 of Chapter 143, General Statutes of North Carolina as
amended, and other applicable Laws, Rules, and Regulations
PERMISSION IS HEREBY GRANTED TO
Kenneth A. Gray
Iredell County
FOR THE
continued operation and maintenance of an animal waste management system for the Old Mountain
Farms, Inc farm located in Iredell County, consisting of zero (0) cattle and the application to land as
specified in the Facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP).
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until rescinded and shall be subject to the
following specified conditions and limitations:
I.
-PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
1. The animal waste management system operated under this Permit shall be effectively
maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to prevent the discharge of pollutants
to surface waters, wetlands, or ditches. Application of waste to terraces and grassed
waterways is acceptable as long as it is applied in accordance with Natural Resources
Conservation Service (MRCS) Standards and does not result in a discharge of waste to
surface waters, wetlands, or ditches. If the Facility has a discharge of waste that reaches
surface waters or wetlands resulting from a storm event more severe than a 25 -year, 24-
hour storm, it will not be considered to be in violation of this Permit, as long as the
Facility is in compliance with its CAWMP and this Permit.
No discharge of waste shall result in a violation of the water quality standards established
for receiving waters as per Title 15A, Subchapter 2B, Section .0200 of the North Carolina
Administrative Code (NCAC) and Title 15A, Subchapter 2L of the NCAC.
The facility's CAWMP is hereby incorporated by reference into this Permit. The
CAWMP must be consistent with all applicable laws, rules, ordinances, and standards
(federal, state and local) in effect at the time of siting, design, and certification of the
Facility.
Any proposed increase or modification to the annual average that exceeds the thresholds
set by North Carolina General Statues (NCGS) 143-215. 10B(1) will require a
modification to the CAWMP and the Permit prior to modification of the Facility.

Animal waste shall not be applied within one hundred (100) feet of any weIl, with the
exception of monitoring wells. The allowable distance to monitoring wells shall be
established on a case-by-case basis by the Division.
H. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
The collection, treatment, and storage facilities, and the land application equipment and
fields shall be properly operated properly and maintained at all times.
2. A vegetative cover shall be maintained as specified in the Facility's CAWMP on all land
application fields and buffers in accordance with the CAWMP. No waste shall be
applied upon areas not included in the CAWMP.
3. Soil pH on all land application fields must be maintained in the optimum range for crop
production.
4. Land application rates shall be in accordance with the CAWMP. In no case shall land
application rates exceed the agronomic rate of the nutrient of concern for the receiving
crop. In no case shall land application rates result in excessive ponding or any runoff
during any given application event.
If manure or sludges are applied on conventionally tilled, bare soil, the waste shall be
incorporated into the soil within two (2) days after application on the land. This
requirement does not apply to no -till fields, pastures, or fields where crops are actively
growing.
Pesticides, toxic chemicals, and petroleum products shall not be disposed of in the animal
waste management system.
7. Domestic and/or industrial wastewater from showers, toilets, sinks, etc. shall not be
discharged into the animal waste management system. Washdown of stock trailers
owned by and used to transport animals to and from the Facility only will be permissible
as long as the system has been evaluated and approved to accommodate the additional
volume. Only those cleaning agents and soaps that are EPA -approved according to their
labels, will not harm the cover crop, and will not contravene the groundwater standards
listed in 15A NCAC 2L may be utilized in the Facility covered by this Permit.
Instruction labels are to be followed when using cleaning agents and soaps.
Disposal of dead animals resulting from normal mortality rates associated with the
Facility shall be done in accordance with the Facility's CAWMP and the North Carolina
Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (NCDA&CS) Veterinary Division's
statutes and regulations.
9. Unless accounted for in temporary storage volume, all uncontaminated runoff from the
surrounding property and buildings shall be diverted away from the waste
lagoons/storage ponds to prevent any unnecessary addition to the liquid volume in the
structures.

10. A protective, vegetative cover shall be established and maintained on all earthen
lagoon/storage pond embankments (outside toe of embankment to maximum pumping
elevation), berms, pipe runs, and diversions to surface waters or wetlands. Trees, shrubs,
and other woody vegetation shall not be allowed to grow on the lagoon/storage pond
embankments. All trees shall be removed in accordance with good engineering practices.
Lagoon/storage pond areas shall be accessible, and vegetation shall be kept mowed.
11. At the time of sludge removal from a lagoon/storage pond, the sludge must be managed
in accordance with the CAWMP. When removal of sludge from the lagoon is necessary,
provisions must be taken to prevent damage to the lagoon dikes and liner.
12. Lagoons/storage ponds shall be kept free of foreign debris including, but not limited to,
tires, bottles, light bulbs, gloves, syringes or any other solid waste.
13. The Facility must have at least one of the following items at all times: (a) adequate
animal waste application and handling equipment, (b) a lease, or other written agreement,
for the use of the necessary equipment, or (c) a contract with a third party applicator
capable of providing adequate waste application.
14. No waste shall be applied in wind conditions that might reasonably be expected to cause
the mist to reach surface waters or wetlands.
15. The Permittee shall maintain buffer strips or other equivalent practices as specified in the
Facility's CAWMP near feedlots, manure storage areas, and land application areas.
16, Waste shall not be applied on land that is flooded, saturated with water, frozen, or snow
covered at the time of land application.

Soil Test Index for Copper of greater than 3,000 (108 pounds per acre) or Zinc of greater
than 3,000 (213 pounds per acre).
19. Any major structural repairs to lagoons/storage ponds must have written documentation
from a technical specialist certifying proper design and installation. However, if a piece
of equipment is being replaced with a piece of equipment of the identical specifications,
no technical specialist approval is necessary (i.e. piping, reels, valves, pumps (if the
gallons per minute (gpm) capacity is not being increased or decreased), etc.] unless the
replacement involves disturbing the lagoon/storage pond embankment.
III. MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
1. An inspection of the animal waste collection, treatment, and storage structures, and
runoff control measures shall be conducted and documented at a frequency to insure
proper operation For example, lagoons/storage ponds, and other structures should be
inspected for evidence of erosion, leakage, damage by animals or discharge.

2. Highly visible waste -level gauges shall be maintained to mark the level of waste in each
lagoon/storage pond that does not gravity feed through a free flowing transfer pipe into a
subsequent structure. The gauge shall have readily visible permanent markings. The
waste level in each lagoon with a waste level gauge shall be monitored and recorded
weekly on forms supplied by, or approved by, the Division.
3. A representative Standard Soil Fertility Analysis, including pH, phosphorus, copper, and
zinc, shall be conducted on each application field receiving animal waste at least every

Ms. Fran,
James Bealle form our Mooresville office called about the Old Mountain Farms, Inc. annual fees. He says they just got
their invoice for this year and have a sent a check to pay for it.
However, they are in the middle of the farm closure. These are some elderly people gettign out of hog business.
James was wondering if they finish their closure this month (or soon), would they still have to pay that invoice? Or,
could you hold off cashing that check a few more days to confirm their closure? I know it will be hard to give them a
refund once it is cashed...
Please contact James at 704-235-2162 if you have any questions. Thanks.

Subject: Beginning dairy operation at Kenneth Gray farm. Facility # 49-35
After talking with Mr. James Bealle with the Division of Water Quality, in
then N.C. Division of Environment and Natural Resources he informs • me that are no
outstanding "Notice of Violation" on this farm at this time. You will be able to start
milking on this farm whenever you can, although there are several more items you will
have to address in the near future. These are listed below:
• You have informed me that you wish to follow the existing waste utilization plan
that was written for Mr. Gray. To be able to do this we will need to change names
and addresses, etc. You will need to call us and set up a time for this.
+ Due to the number of cows Mr. Gray was milking he had to obtain a "Certificate
of Coverage" to operate. With this permit there carne certain responsibilities by
which Mr. Gray hid to follow and you will be required to also no matter what
number of cows you milk.
• You or someone on the farm will need to obtain your Operator in Charge
classification before animal waste is applied. Nancy Keith with the NC
Cooperative Extension Service in Yadkin County can provide you with
information on this.
• Rainfall records will need to be recorded after every rain. This will consist of
amount and date.
« Freeboard (liquid level) will need to recorded by week for each waste storage
pond.
• Soil samples will need to be taken on every field that waste will be applied on for
that year.

Robert Melton
Page 2
• Waste samples will need to be taken 30 day before or after application, all
application rates by field will need to be recorded. Waste will be applied to crops
at agronomic rates; these rates will be in the waste utilization plan.
• You will be subject to two inspections annually; these inspections will be six
months apart. One inspection will be performed by an inspector from the
Division of Soil & Water Conservation and one by an inspector from the Division
of Water Quality. During these inspections all the items listed above will be
checked, your waste storage ponds will be visually checked along with field visits
to determine if any water quality problems exist.
I will be glad to come to the farm and go over any of this with you if you have questions.
Just call the office and set up an appointment.

Old Mountain Farms Inc.
Cattle Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Iredell County
On June 11, 2004, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) issued a revised State General
Permit for animal facilities. The General Permit was issued in accordance with the directive of Senate
Bill 733 (Session Law 2003-28).
To correct the facility's animal capacity and in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill 733, we are
hereby forwarding to you this corrected Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Kenneth Gray,
authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application
system in accordance with General Permit AWG200000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Old Mountain Farms Inc., located in Iredell County, with an animal capacity of
no greater than an annual average of 120 Dairy Cows, 40 Dry Cows, and the application to land as
specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP).
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2009, and shall hereby void the
COC dated October 1, 2004, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified therein.
Pursuant to this COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the
conditions and limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An
adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information
must be established for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design
capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a
modification to the CAWMP and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either
wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Since this is a revised State
General Permit, it contains new requirements in .addition to most of the conditions contained in the
previous State General Permit. Enclosed for your convenience is a package containing the new and
revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please pay careful attention to the record kee in
and monitoring conditions in this permit.
If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site-specific information, careful evaluation
of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is
inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed.

The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property.
Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit
documentation to the Division demonstrating that all current MRCS standards are met prior to restocking
of the facility.
Per 15A NCAC 2H .0225(c) a compliance boundary is provided for the facility and no new water supply
wells shall be constructed within the compliance boundary. Per NRCS standards a 100 foot separation
shall be maintained between water supply wells and any lagoon, storage pond, or any wetted area of a
spray field.
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the General Permit
or the CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance with NCGS 143-
215.6A through 143-215.6C including civil penalties, criminal penalties, and injunctive relief.
If you wish to continue the activity permitted under the General Permit after the expiration date of the
General Permit, an application for renewal must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration.
This COC is not automatically transferable. A name/ownership change application must be submitted to
the Division prior to a name change or change in ownership.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this COC are unacceptable, you have the right to
apply for an individual permit by contacting the staff member listed below for information on this
process. Unless such a request is made within 30 days, this COC shall be final and binding.
This facility is located in a county covered by our Mooresville Regional Office. The Regional Office

Dear Kenneth Gray:
On June 11, 2004, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) issued a revised State General
Permit for swine facilities. The General Permit was issued in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill
733 (Session Law 2003-28).
In accordance with your application received on February 20, 2003 and in accordance with the directive
of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Kenneth
Gray, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land
application system in accordance with General Permit AWG200000. The issuance of this COC
supersedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWC490035 which expires October 1, 2004.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Old Mountain Farms Inc., located in Iredell County, with an animal capacity of
no greater than an annual average of 160 Dairy cattle and the application to land as specified in the
facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP).
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2009. Pursuant to this COC,
you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as
specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting
and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this
facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number
of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and
this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Since this is a revised State
General Permit, it contains new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained in the
previous State General Permit. Enclosed for your convenience is a package containing the new and

Dear Kenneth Gray:
On April 28, 2003, ,the North Carolina General Assembly ratified Senate Bill 733 which directs the
Division of Water Quality (Division) to extend the expiration date of the Cattle Waste Operation General
Permit AWG200000. Therefore, the General Permit has been re -issued by the Division to extend the
expiration date to October 1, 2004. During the period of this extension the Division will be working with
all interested parties on the development of a new version of the Non -Discharge General Permit.
In accordance with your application received on February 20, 2003 and in accordance with the directive
of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Kenneth
Gray, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land
application system in accordance with General Permit AWG200000. The issuance of this COC
supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWC490035 which expired on April 30, 2003.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Old Mountain Farms Inc., located in Iredell County, with an animal capacity of
no greater than an annual average of 120 dairy cows and 40 dry cows and the application to land as
specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP).
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until October 1, 2004. Pursuant to this COC, you
are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as
specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting
and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this
facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number
of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and
this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, careful evaluation
of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is
inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed.
The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property.
Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit
documentation to the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to restocking
of the facility.

A2plication Method(s):
Irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water
and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial
fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied.
The 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. 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 yield of the crop to be grown. Soil test and waste analysis records
shall be kept for five (5) years. Waste application records for all 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 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. 3) 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.
Wind conditions at the time of field application of waste should also be considered to avoid drift and
downwind odor problems.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
revised 04�11=00..
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.
Zinc and copper Ievels 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 (method(s) of application) 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
(type operation) systems in North Carolina. Actual acreage requirements shall be based on waste analysis reports
from storage structures in your waste management system.
Your WSP (storage structure) is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 6 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. They shall have
in place an Emergency Management Plan such as outlined in Chapter 7 of the Certified Operators manual. The
North Carolina Water Quality Commission will provide training and certification of operators.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 (the
.0200 rules) adopted by the Water Quality Commission.

Applying the above amount of waste as calculated above is a big job. You should plan time and have
appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
Values used above are based on analysis of waste from similar livestock operations in North
Carolina. 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 requriements. In the future, regulations may require
farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only
addresses nitrogen.

The irrigation application rate should not exceed the infiltration rate of the soil at the time of irrigation
such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure,
soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the
available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available
nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop.
It is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is
installed.to properly irrigate the acres shown in tables 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 in recommended.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
revised.' 04-11=00
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 up
to $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. (See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strips and Standard 392 - Riparian Forest
Buffer.)
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. Additional odor and insect control measures can .be found in Appendix D of the
Certified Operators Manual for Animal Waste Systems.
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 odors 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.
E

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
revised 04= 1=00
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,
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 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.
10. 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 shalt 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 (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/hoIding pond
berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
revised 04=:11-00
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.
19. 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.
20. 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.
21. 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.
22. 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.

Odor and Insect Control Checklist
On many operations, odor is likely to be the number one community issue for both producers and the general
public. Because people can detect a smell they find offensive, they assume there is an environmental problem.
What are some perceptions of dairy odor that your neighbors and members of your community may have?
SOURCES OF ODOR
The good news is that odor can be managed by reducing sources of odor. Decomposing manure is the most
obvious source. Generally, decomposing manure that has undergone some type of anaerobic (without oxygen)
breakdown has a more offensive odor than fresh manure. The actual odor is the result of the type of ration,
animal metabolism, and environmental conditions in which manure is stored and spread. Decomposing feed and
carcasses can also contribute to odor.

Owner/Manager Agreement
I (we) understand and will follow and implement the specifications and the operation and maintenance
procedures established in the approved animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above. I (we) know
that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste treatment and storage system or construction of
new facilities will require a new certification to be submitted to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality
(NCDWQ) before the new animals are stocked. I (we) also understand that there must be no discharge of
animal waste from this system to surface waters of the state from a storm event less severe than the 25 -year, 24-
hour storm. The approved plan will be filed on-site at the farm office and at the office of the local Soil and
Water Conservation District and will be available for review by NCDWQ upon request.
I (we) understand that I (we) must own or have access to irrigation or other equipment, to land apply the animal

Old Mountain Farms Inc.
Animal Waste Operation
Iredell County
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 November 6, 1999:
1. Please verify that there are 135 dairy cows and 25 heifers at the facility. According to the calculations for
Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN), there are two different types of animals, however, the numbers appear to
be 110 dairy cows and 50 heifers. Please provide an explanation.
2. According to the Waste Utilization Plan (WUP), the total PAN nitrogen produced at the facility is 2,401.
This is lower than the current Natural Resources Conservation Standard (NRCS). If the waste from the
facility is going to be land applied by both irrigation and/or pump and haul methods, then the PAN rate
should be calculated for both methods or the higher rate should be used. Please contact your technical
specialist to revise the PAN rate or provide an explanation for the lower PAN production.
3. The irrigation parameters listed in your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) exceed current recommendations.
Irrigation events are to be listed in the WUP as the maximum application allowable for that soil type from
the time the pumps are turned on until the time they are shut off. The application events listed in your WUP
appear to be out of the Sprinkler Irrigation Guide. The Application Amounts listed in this guide have not
been adjusted for the application of animal waste. It is currently recommended that total application
amounts not exceed one inch in any application event for any soil type. If your application rates need to be
adjusted for the application of animal waste, please have your Technical Specialist revise your WUP to
reflect the appropriate application amount per event. If the rates exceed the recommended one inch, please
have your Technical Specialist justify the increased application rate in the narrative of your WUP.
4.. The WUP must include application windows for all crops on which waste will be applied. Please contact
your technical specialist to include application windows in the WUP.
5. Please indicate the method by which mortalities will be handles on the Mortality Management Checklist.
Please note that all WUP revisions must be signed and dated by both the owner and the technical specialist. Please
reference the subject permit application number when providing the requested information. All information should be signed,
sealed, and submitted in duplicate to my attention at the address below. The information requested by this letter must be
submitted on or before November 6, 1999 or the Division will return your application as incomplete in accordance with 15A

Animal Waste Manakement System
Facility Number 49-35
Iredell County
This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. iRRI, IRR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRYS, SLUR1, SLUR2,
SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the
DWQ staff at [phone] ext. 571.

Site Inspection Report
Old Mt. Farms, Facility #: 49-35
Iredell County, NC
Dear Mr. Gray:
Mr. Alan Johnson of this Office conducted a site inspection of your facility on May
20, 1999. In general the facility appeared to be in good shape.
During many of Mr. Johnson's inspections he has noted that some farms are often
missing one or more components of the farm plan that should be available for review. The
following items must be available for review by the inspector during the inspection.
• Certification forms.
• Site Diagram: Fencing, streams, buffer zones, feed areas must be shown.
• Waste Application records with, accompanying waste analysis.
• Maps of acreage and irrigated fields.
• Waste Utilization plan: Tract/field number, usable/wettable acres (not
necessarily total acreage), list of crops, PAN required, and amount of waste
produced by livestock.
• Waste and Soil analysis info: Must have 3 years of data.
It is suggested that this be maintained in a single folder.
• Emergency Action Plan must be posted.
• Insect, Odor Control, and Mortality Checklists must be completed.
• Certified Operator renewal card.
Failure to have the above components available and complete could result in a Notice of
Violation or other enforcement actions. Also remember that waste applications should be
applied during the time the crop can utilize the nutrients in the waste. In general waste.
should be applied no earlier than 30 days prior to planting.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact
Mr. Johnson or me at [phone].

Iredell County, NC
Dear Mr. Gray:
Mr. Alan Johnson of this office has been asked on several occasions about the
appropriate time and proper method to take soil and waste samples. Also, during his
inspections, he has noticed that while the storage capacity may be adequate in the
storage pond/lagoon, in some cases it was not at the level set forth in the waste
utilization plan. Mr. Johnson has also noted that some animal operations using
hay/pasture systems do not appear to be properly managing the hay crop in the waste
application fields. This letter is to highlight some concerns and provide some general
guidance regarding the management of the storage pond/lagoon and waste application
fields. For more specific/detailed information, please contact your technical
specialist or your local agricultural extension service.
Be advised that should a farm be found violating its farm plan and/or have an
unpennitted discharge, besides facing civil penalties, the facility could be required to
apply for an individual permit. Currently, most farms are operating under a general
permit.
Waste applications
Just as you manage the animals at your facility, proper management of the
waste (lagoon/storage pond level) is important. The waste must be pumped from the
ponds at the correct time and provide for maximum utilization of the nutrients by the
crop. Remember, waste application rates in your farm plan are based on agronomic
principles, and assumes the waste will be applied when the nutrients are required
-(e.g., applying waste to corn at tasseling or bermuda grass in November is of little
use for the uptake of nitrogen). Also, the established application rate assumes that
the previous crop has been removed from the field.

Grass and small grain crops grown for hay should be harvested in a timely manner. To
maximize nutrient uptake, as indicated in the waste utilization plan, and for highest quality, the
crop should be harvested at early boot stage (generally every 4 to 5 weeks). Small grain for
silage can be harvested in the soft dough stage when direct cut. Contact your agricultural
extension agent or technical specialist for proper guidance.
General Recommendations for Nitrogen -(M Application for Common Crops:
• Small Grains: One-third (113) N at planting and remainder in late February or early
March.
• Corn/Sorghum: For facilities that pump and haul, N should be applied prior to planting.
For those facilities that irrigate, a split application with half at planting and the remainder
when the corn is 18 inches high.
• Fescue/Orchardgrass: Apply one-half (112) of the N in mid-February to March and one-
half (112) in mid-August to September.
• Bermuda grass: Establishing: 30 to 40 Ibs N/ac at planting and 30 to 60 lbs N/ac when
runners appear (6 -8 wk. after planting). Maintaining: 50 to 60 lbs N/ac in April and the
remainder of the recommended amount in equal increments in June and July or after each
cutting.
Finally, there have been instances where the amount of waste pumped (as shown in the
waste application records) from the lagoon/storage pond does not appear to agree with the
amount of waste produced by the animals. One would expect on an annual basis that the amount
pumped would be approximately equal to the amount being produced. For example, if a dairy is
generating 453,000 gal/yr in waste, then approximately 453,000 gallons of waste should be
accounted for in the waste application records over a year. However, there may be some
difference due to how low the storage pond was pumped, the number of cows being held in the
facility, or the amount of rainfall.
Soil anal, (FREE)
Fifteen to twenty (15 to 20) soil samples per field (20 acres or less) is desirable. The
samples should be thoroughly mixed and sent in as one sample. Each sample should be pulled 4
inches deep for pastures and no -till systems and 8 inches deep for conventional tillage systems.
Taking samples during the fall is advisable. The state lab is not as busy at that time and
can provide a more timely turn around with the results. This is also a good time to apply lime if
recommended by the soil test. When liming is necessary, it is important that it be applied as
suggested. Maintaining proper soil pH is as important (if not more so) than fertilizing to
maximize crop production.

Page 3
Waste samples/analysis ($4/sample)
The state lab now has the capability to conduct analyses and provide the results within
two working days via the internet. Through the US Postal service allow seven days. Take
samples in a timely manner such that waste application rates can be based on the most recent
sample results.
Six to eight (6 to 8) samples should be taken around the edge of the lagoon/storage pond,
approximately 6 feet from the edge and 12 inches below the surface. These can be mixed to
make one sample. The sample should be refrigerated if it is not going to be shipped the same
day. Always mail waste samples in plastic containers.
For farmers who do not have to agitate the lagoon/storage pond prior to application, it is
strongly suggested that waste samples be taken prior to waste application. This will prevent the
producer from having to go back and complete the waste application record at a later date.
For farmers who apply waste to hay fields and pastures, it is strongly suggested that
waste samples be taken quarterly if the waste is applied anytime during the growing season.
If you have questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Johnson
or me at [phone].

NCAC 2H.0217 for the operation of an animal waste treatment works, but was
unable to comply with 15A NCAC2H .0217 (a)(1)(E) requiring an approved
animal waste management plan to be submitted by December 31, 1997.
(b) Failure to obtain and implement a Certified Animal Waste Management Plan in
accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217(a)(1)(E) is a violation of State Water

(c) "OWNER" desires to continue to operate the animal waste treatment works as a
Non -Discharge system.

develop an animal waste management system which, once certified, will meet or
exceed all applicable guidelines and standards and will be able to comply with
all aspects of the Commissions animal waste general permit.
(e) During the term of this Agreement there will be no increase in Steady State Live
Weight (SSLW) at the facility. Any new construction will be designed to
accommodate only the SSLW for which the facility was registered in
accordance with 15A NCAC 211.0217(a)(1)(D).
(e) Since this Special Agreement is by Consent, neither party will file a petition for
a contested case or for judicial review concerning its terms.
(f). Nothing in this Special Agreement shall be taken as absolving or relieving
"OWNER" from any responsibility or liability for discharges of animal waste to
surface waters of the State of North Carolina.
2. "OWNER" desiring to comply with the Permit identified in paragraph 1(a) above,
hereby agrees to do the following:
(a) Undertake all necessary activities in order to obtain and implement a certified

submit to the Director of DWQ written notice of compliance or noncompliance
therewith. In the case of noncompliance, the notice shall include a statement of
the reason(s) for noncompliance, remedial action(s) taken, and a statement
identifying the extent to which subsequent dates or times for accomplishment of
listed activities may be affected.
3. "OWNER" agrees that unless excused under paragraph four (4), "OWNER" will pay
the Director of DWQ, by check payable to the North Carolina Department of

In accordance with State Regulations (15A NCAC 2H .0217(a)(1)(E)) adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission on February 1, 1993, the owner of the subject facility was required to submit a
Certification Form for the facility's animal waste management system by December 31, 1997.
This letter is to advise you that this office has no record of having received the required Certification for
the subject facility. Please provide this office with an explanation as to why this Certification was not
submitted as required. This explanation must be received within 30 days following the receipt of this letter.
Any existing facility owner which did not submit the required certification by the deadline is no longer
deemed permitted to operate their animal waste management system. Therefore, if the certification was not
submitted as required and the facility is still in operation, this facility is being operated without a valid
permit. N.C.G.S. 143-215.6(b) allows the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources to take appropriate enforcement actions for this violation for as long as the violation continues.
As per Senate Bill 1217, which was ratified on June 21, 1996, the Environmental Management
Commission (EMC) may enter into a special agreement with facilities that did not meet the December 31,
1997 deadline. These special agreements can only be issued to facility owners which signed up for assistance
with their local Soil and Water Conservation District Office by September 1, 1996 and which can
demonstrate that they made a good faith effort to meet the December 31, 1997 deadline. The special
agreement, if issued, would contain a specific schedule for the facility to follow to develop and/or implement
an approved animal waste management plan. Attached is an application for a special agreement between the
EMC and the subject facility. If you can demonstrate that this facility can meet the conditions for a special
agreement, you may send this request along with your explanation as to why the plan has not been developed
and implemented. This request would also be due within 30 days from receipt of this letter.

Also attached is a form (Form RR 2198) that must be filled out if the facility is no longer in operation or is
below the threshold established in 15A NCAC 2H .0217(a)(1)(A). Facilities which maintain the number of animals
below certain thresholds are not required to be certified. These thresholds are:
100 head of cattle
75 horses
250 swine
1000 sheep
30,000 birds with a liquid system
Please submit this form if the subject facility is not operating or is below the threshold limit established in 15A
NCAC 2H.0217(a)(1)(A).
Please submit all responses to this matter to the following address:
Attn: Shannon Langley
Division of Water Quality
P.O. Box 29535
Raleigh NC 27626-0535
Once your response is received, it will be evaluated in detail along with any supporting information that
you may wish to submit. Following this review, you will be advised of the results of the review and of any

SUBJECT: Operation Review Corrective Action Recommendation
Old Mountain Farms, Inc.
Facility No. 49-35
Iredell County
Dear Mr. Gray,
On July 24, an Operation Review was conducted of Old Mountain Farms, Inc., facility no. 49-35. This
Review, undertaken in accordance with G.S. 143-215.10D, is one of two visits scheduled for all registered livestock
operations during the 1997 calendar year. The Division of Water Quality will conduct a second site inspection.
During the Review, it was determined that waste was = being discharged to the waters of the State, and
the animal waste collection, treatment, storage and disposal systems were properly maintained and operated under
the responsible charge of a designated operator. However, the following management deficiency was discovered
and noted for corrective action: failure to install start pumping markers within the pond. This management
deficiency needs to be addressed and corrected. You are encouraged to contact your certified technical specialist if
additional assistance is needed. During ensuing reviews, this same deficiency will be re-examined to determine if
corrective action was implemented.
In order for your facility to remain in compliance with environmental regulations, animal waste cannot be
discharged into the waters of the State, and the animal waste collection, treatment, storage and disposal systems
must be pjQperjy maintained -and o e� under the responsible charge of a certified operator.
Please remember that you are required to obtain and implement an approved animal waste management
plan by the end of this year. The plan must be certified by either a designated technical specialist or a professional
engineer. For additional assistance with the plan, please contact your local Soil and Water Conservation District
Office or local Cooperative Extension Service Office.
The Division of Soil and Water Conservation appreciates your cooperation with this Operation Review.
Please do not hesitate to call me at 704/663-1699 ext. 277 if you have any questions, concerns or need additional
information.

Subject: Certification/Notice of Violations
Old Mt. Farms Inc., Facility #: 49-35
Iredell County, NC
Dear Mr. Gray:
The deadline for the certified waste management plan to be implemented is December 31, 1997,
and there will be no extension of the deadline. With this in mind, this letter will touch on some of the
general components and issues that are of concern during an inspection.
As a certified, or soon to be certified, farm your files at a minimum must contain the following
information, and need to be available for review during the inspection:
Certification forms
Site diagram - showing fencing, streams, buffer zones
Waste application records/forms
Maps of acreage and irrigated fields
Waste utilization plan
Waste and soil analysis records
Emergency action plan and mortality & odor control checklist
Regarding waste application records, all information should be recorded. This includes (but is
not limited to) the field used, total minutes waste was applied (if required), the amount of waste irrigated/
hauled, the amount of nitrogen applied and the crop nitrogen balance. The crops and fields that are being
utilized for waste application must be specified in the certified waste management plan. For those
facilities that grow hay, the date when the hay is harvested should be recorded. If you feel the plan does
not allow you the flexibility you need, contact a technical specialist to have the farm plan modified.
For lagoons/storage ponds, remember that a freeboard of 12 inches plus an additional 5 - 9
inches (depending on location) for a 25 year/24 hour rain event must be maintained from the top of the
storage pond/lagoon. If there is an emergency spillway/pipe, then the level must be maintained to
compensate for a 25 yr/24 hr storm. A pumping marker must also be installed. This may be a pipe or
other structure that is already in the lagoon. Whatever the marker is, it must be prominently identified.

Page 2
The question often comes up as to what warrants a Notice of Violation (NOV). An NOV may
be issued for the following instances, among others;
a) inadequate freeboard,
b) inadequate land for waste application,
c) application on an unapproved crop/acreage,
d) discharge of waste from lagoon/facility,
e) excessive vegetation on the sideslopes of a lagoon/pond, or
f) other minor deficiencies.
Examples of a deficiency would be the waste or soil analysis forms not being up to date or the
application records not being filled out properly.
Please note, failure to submit the certification form by December 31, 1997, does not exclude you
from the responsibility of maintaining your storage pond/lagoon levels and waste application records.
Also, please be advised that North Carolina General Statutes provide for penalties of up to $10,000 per
day per violation as well as criminal penalties for violations of state environmental laws and regulations.
If you have any questions concerning this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Alan Johnson or me

MOORESY LLE RESIUNAL OFFICE
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study Commission on
Agricultural Waste, was enacted by the North Carolina General Assembly on June 21, 1996. This bill
requires that a certified operator be designated as the Operator in Charge by January 1, 1997, for each animal
waste management system that serves 250 or more swine, 100 or more confined cattle, 75 or more horses,
1,000 or more sheep, or 30,000 or more confined poultry with a liquid animal waste management system. Our
records indicate that your facility is registered with the Division of Water Quality and meets the requirements
for designating an OIC.
A training and certification program is not yet available for animal waste management systems involving '
cattle, horses, sheep, or poultry. Owners and operators of these systems will be issued temporary animal waste
management certificates by the Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification Commission
(WPCSOCC). The temporary certificates will expire December 31, 1997, and will not be renewed. To obtain
a permanent certification, you will be required to complete ten hours of training and pass an examination by
December 31, 1997. A training and certification program for operators of animal waste management systems
involving cattle, sheep, horses, and poultry is now being developed and should be available by the spring of
1997. The type of training and certification required for the operator of each system will be based on the nature
of the wastes to be treated and the treatment process(es) primarily used to treat the animal waste.
As the owner of an animal operation with an animal waste management system, you must designate an
Operator in Charge and must submit the enclosed designation form to'the WPCSOCC. If you do not intend to
operate your animal waste management system yourself, you must designate an employee or engage a contract
operator to be the Operator in Charge. The person designated as the Operator in Charge, whether yourself or
another person, must complete the enclosed application form for temporary certification as an animal waste
management system operator. Both the designation form and the application form must be completed and
returned by December 31, 1996.
If you have questions about the new requirements for animal waste management system operators, please call
Beth Buffington or Barry Huneycutt at 9191733-0026.

Old Mountain Farms Inc.
Cattle Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Iredell County
In accordance with your application received on July 14, 1999, we are forwarding this Certificate
of Coverage (COC) issued to Kenneth Gray, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste
collection, treatment,. storage and land application system in accordance with General Permit
AWG200000. This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to,
the management of animal waste from the Old Mountain Farms Inc. Farm, located in -Iredell County,
with an animal capacity of no greater than 120 Dairy cows and 40 dry cows/heifers and the application
to land as specified in the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP).
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until April 30, 2003. Pursuant to this COC,
you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations
as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP , and this COC, with no discharge of wastes to
surface waters. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and
operational information must be established for this farm. Any increase in waste production greater than
the certified design capacity or increase in number of stocked animals above the number authorized by
this COC will require a modification to the CAWMP and this COC and shall be completed prior to
actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
The facility's CAWMP meets alf requirements in place at the time of certification. However, it
appears that the irrigation system on site may not adequately cover all acreage listed in the Waste
Utilization Plan. The owner should address this inconsistency as soon as possible:
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the
General Permit or the CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance

All solid waste will be scraped from the lots and stored in the WASTE STORAGE
POND (WSP). All contaminated water (wash,parlor and runoff) will be piped into WSP.
All waste contained in WSP will be land applied at agronomic rates. The WASTE
STORAGE POND is designed to provide 342 days storage for the solid wastes
produced by 90 head milking herd.
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.

0 1- WADE STORAGE POND #I
OVERVIEW
This WASTE STORAGE POND is designed to store the'average feedlot runoff
and waste generated by a milking herd of 112 cows for 180 days. A permanent
marker will -need to be set indicating the level of storage available prior to
infringing on the 25 year, 24 hour storm capacity. The WASTE STORAGE
POND consists of an earthen dam, clay liner, and curbing for discharging
contaminated water into the WSP.
OPERATION
The service life of the WSP will be determined by the level of management for
the entire system. Over time it is expected that some solids will accumulate in
the WSP. The accumulated solids should not reduce the usable capacity to a
point which requires removal of the solids for many years IF adequate waste
agitation is maintained. In contrast, poor management will result in the rapid
accumulation of solids which will reduce the usable capacity of the WSP to the
point that some form of dredging will be required.
MAINTENANCE
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. Any evidence of sloughing or
seepage should be reported to the Iredell Soil & Water Conservation District
office.

0 3 AQ TION ,An APPLICATION SYSTEM
OVERVIEW
The AGITATION AND APPLICATION SYSTEM consists of an agitator/pump,
underground main and hydrant system and a traveling gun. All of the above
mentioned is in place and on the farm at this time.
See WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN for additional details.
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 WSP
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.
The initial step in each irrigation operation is to properly agitate the waste in
the Storage Pond. If application equipment (irrigation or spreader) is owned
consult owners manuals for recommended operational procedures.
MAINTENANCE
Fields that receive waste application should have soil tested annually. It is
advised that recommended that waste and soil sample results be used in
conjunction with each other

0 4- SQNTANIINATED LIQUID COLLECTION SYSTEM
The CONTAMINATED LIQUID COLLECTION AND PIPING SYSTEM consists of
drop structures and pipe already installed on this farm. The contaminated
liquid collection and piping system conveys polluted water from the milk room
and polluted runoff from the lots to storage structures.
MAINTENANCE
Inspect the concrete components of the CONTAMINATED LIQUID COLLECTION
SYSTEM for cracks or other damage, and make repairs or replace as needed.
Inspect the drop structures seasonally and remove accumulated solids.
Annually inspect the pipe coating, and clean and recoat as needed.
In periods of cold and subfreezing temperatures, inspect the pipe for
accumulation of ice by CAREFULLY removing the cap of the cleanout. Caution:
If liquids have accumulated in the pipe above the cleanout, the force of these
liquids tends to "blow" the cap of the cleanout off during removal. Remove any
ice manually or by melting with hot water.
•
OVERVIEW
The VEGETATED DIVERSION will be located above the WASTE STORAGE
POND and will convey non -contaminated runoff around the structure.
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 Iredell Soil
and Water Conservation District for technical assistance in correcting this
problem.

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface
water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of
commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied.
The 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
4 e date of application. Soil nutrients in all fields where waste will be applied must be analyzed at least
nually so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yield of the crop to be grown. Soil test and
aste analysis records shall be kept for five (5) years. Waste application records for all 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. time 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 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. 3) 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.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
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 (method(s) of application) 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
(type operation) systems in North Carolina. Actual acreage requirements shall be based on waste analysis
reports from storage structures in your waste management system.
Your WSP (storage structure) is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage
must be removed on the average of once every 6 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
&ount 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.
They shall have in place an Emergency Management Plan such as outlined In Chapter 7 of the Certified
Operators manual. The North Carolina Water Quality Commission will provide training and certification of
operators.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217
(the .0200 rules) adopted by the Water Quality Commission.

Applying the above amount of waste as calculated above is a big job. You should plan time and have
appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
•
Values used above are based on analysis of waste from similar livestock
operations. in North Carolina. 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 address all nutrients. This plan only
addresses nitrogen.
5

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
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 in recommended.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances,
direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste
which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to the assessment of civil
penalties up to $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 fiiter.strips will
be in addition to "Buffers" required. by DWQ. (See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strips and Standard
392 - Riparian Forest Buffer.)
4. Odors can be reduced by injectingi 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. Additional odor and insect control measures can be found in AAvnendix p
of the Certified Operators Manual for Animal Waste Systems.
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 odors 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.
�J
10

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
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.
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 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.
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 (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

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
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.
19. 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.
20. 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.
21. Waste shall be tested within_50 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.
22. 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.

Owner/Manager Agreement
I (we) understand and will follow and implement the specifications and the operation and maintenance
procedures established in the approved animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above. I (we)
know that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste treatment and storage system or
construction of new facilities will require a new certification to be submitted to the North Carolina Division
of Water Quality (NCDWQ) before the new animals are stocked. I (we) also understand that there must be
no discharge of animal waste from this system to surface waters of the state from a storm event less severe
than the 25 -year, 24-hour storm. The approved plan will be filed on-site at the farm office and at the
office of the local Soil and Water Conservation District and will be available for review by NCDWQ upon
request.
I (we) understand that I (we) must own or have access to irrigation or other equipment, to land apply the
imal waste described in this Waste Utilization Plan. The equipment must be available at. the appropriate
e such that no discharge occurs from the lagoon, holding pond, tank, or -other unroofed storage structure
a 25 -year, 24-hour storm event. I (we) also certify that the waste will be. applied on the land according.
to this plan at the appropriate times and at rates that no run-off occurs.

LIVESTOCK WASTE SAMPLING, ANALYSLS, AND CALCULATION OF LAND APPL[CATLaN RATES
James C. Barker
Biological and Agricultural Engineer
North Carolina State University
0 I. SAMPLE COLLECTION
A. Semi --Solid Lot Manure
i. Scraped directly from lot into spreader
a. After manure has been loaded into the spreader, collect a total of 5 lbs
manure from different locations within the spreader.
ii. From storage
a. Collect a total of 5 lbs of relatively fresh manure under the surface cr;
avoiding bedding materials.
B. Liquid Manure Slurry . ,
i. Under -slotted -floor pit
a. Use a length of 1/2" conduit open on.one end and that can be easily seale
on the other end (e.g., by placing one's thumb over the end of the condui
b. With both ends of the conduit open, extend it into the manure to the pit
floor.
c. Seal the upper end of the conduit trapping the manure that has entered the
lower end, remove and empty into a bucket or container.
d. Collect samples from at least 5 locations or at least enough for a total c
I quart of slurry.
e. Thoroughly mix this slurry and empty approximately 1/2 pint into sample
container.
ii. Exterior storage basin or tank
a. Make sure the manure has been well mixed or homogenized with a liquid mane:
chopper -agitator pump or propeller agitator.
b. Take samples from approximately 5 locations in the pit, from the agitator
pump, or from the manure spreader and place in a bucket.
C. Thoroughly mix and empty 1/2 pint into sample container.
C. Lagoon Liquid
i. Collect approximately 1/2 pint of recycled lagoon liquid from the inflow pipe
the flush tanks.

Application Method(s):
Irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface
water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of
commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied.
The 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 6b days of
the date of application. 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 yield of the crop.to be grown. Soil test and
waste analysis records shall be kept for five (5) years. Waste application records for all 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.
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 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. 3) 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.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
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 _(method(s) of application) 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 fordairy
(type operation) systems in North Carolina. Actual' acreage requirements shall be based on waste analysis
reports from storage structures in your waste management system.
Your WSP (storage structure) is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage
must be removed on the average of once every 6 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 atter 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.
They shall have in place an Emergency Management Plan such as outlined in Chapter 7 of the Certified
Operators manual. The North Carolina Water Quality Commission will provide training and certification of
operators. ,
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217
(the .0200 rules) adopted by the Water Quality Commission.

Applying the above amount of waste as calculated above is a big job. You should plan time and have
appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
Values used above are based on analysis of waste from similar livestock
operations in North Carolina. Actual nutrient content of the waste from this
system may varyfrom 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
marTagement plan that address all nutrients. This plan only -
addresses nitrogen.

The irrigation application rate should not exceed the infiltration rate of the soil at the time of
irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil
structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not
exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant
available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop.
It is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is
installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in tables 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 in recommended.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
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 up
to $t0,000 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. (See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strips and Standard 392 - Riparian Forest
Buffer.)
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. Additional odor and insect control measures can be found in Appendix D of the
Certified Operators Manual for Animal Waste Systems.
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 odors 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.
10

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
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.
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 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 snore 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. 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.
It. 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 (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 berms and
structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge.
11

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
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.
19. 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.
20. 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.
21. 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.
22. 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.
12

Odor and Insect Control Checklist
On many operations, odor is likely to be the number one community issue for both producers and the
general public. Because people can detect a smell they find offensive, they assume there is an environmental
problem. What are some perceptions of dairy odor that your neighbors and members of your community
may have?
SOURCES OF ODOR
The good news is that odor can be managed by reducing sources of odor. Decomposing manure is the most
obvious source. Generally, decomposing manure that has undergone some type of anaerobic (without
oxygen) breakdown has a more offensive odor than fresh manure. The actual odor is the result of the type
of ration, animal metabolism, and environmental conditions in which manure is stored and spread.
Decomposing feed and carcasses can also contribute to odor.

Application Method(s):
Irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface
water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of
commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied.
The 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. 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 yield of the crop to be grown. Soil test and
waste analysis records shall be kept for five (5) years. Waste application records for all 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.
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 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. 3) 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.

0.
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 (method(s) of application) 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
(type operation) systems in North Carolina. Actual acreage requirements shall be based on waste analysis
reports from storage structures in your waste management system.
Your WSP (storage structure) is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage
must be removed on the average of once every 6 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.
They shall have in place an Emergency Management Plan such as outlined in Chapter 7 of the Certified
Operators manual. 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.

approximately
744,600 gallons or 27.4 acre -inches.
6705 lbs. PAN per year from liquid waste
+ 0 lbs. PAN per year from solid waste
= 6705 Total lbs. PAN per year
Applying the above amount of waste as calculated above is a big job. You should plan time and have
appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
Values used above are based on analysis of waste from similar livestock
operations in North Carolina. 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 address all nutrients. This plan only
addresses nitrogen.

The irrigation application rate should not exceed the infiltration rate of the soil at the time of
irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil
structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not
exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant
available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop.
It is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is
installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in tables 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 in recommended.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
L 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 up
to $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. (See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strips and Standard 392 - Riparian Forest
Buffer.)
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. Additional odor and insect control measures can be found in Appendix D of the
Certified Operators Manual for Animal Waste Systems.
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.
5. 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 odors 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.
10

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
S. 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.
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 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.
10. 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 (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 berms and
structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge.
11

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
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.
19. 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.
20. 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.
21. 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.
22. 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.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
MORTALITY MANAGEMENT METHODS
❑ Burial three feet beneath the surface of the ground within 24 hours after knowledge of the death.
The burial must be at least 300 feet from any flowing stream or public body of water.
❑ Rendering at a rendering plant licensed under G.S. 106-168.7
- ❑ Complete incineration.
❑ In the case of dead poultry only, placing in a disposal pit of a size and design approved by the
Department of Agriculture.
❑ Any method which in the professional opinion of the State Veterinarian would make possible the
salvage of part of a dead animal's value without endangering human or animal health. (Written
approval of the State Veterinarian must be attached).

Odor and Insect Control Checklist
On many operations, odor is likely to be the number one community issue for both producers and the
general public. Because people can detect a smell they find offensive, they assume there is an environmental
problem. What are some perceptions of dairy odor that your neighbors and members of your community
may have?
SOURCES OF ODOR
The good news is that odor can be managed by reducing sources of odor. Decomposing manure is the most
obvious source. Generally, decomposing manure that has undergone some type of anaerobic (without
oxygen) breakdown has a more offensive odor than fresh manure. The actual odor is the result of the type
of ration, animal metabolism, and environmental conditions in which manure is stored and spread.
Decomposing feed and carcasses can also contribute to odor.
