As a dairy farmer, I am very conscious of my land and its proper nutritional qualities. However, in this incidence my check was lost/stolen while at the lab in Raleigh and a report was never fled on this waste sample. Due to the many other daily activities I have on the dairy, this slipped by my attention. I intend to be more diligent in looking for the prompt return of my reports from the lab in Raleigh in the future. D.wE C fig. .-.�...E OCT - 4 7nr�F DWQ - Sincerely, Lonnie F.

In accordance with your application received on February 7, 2003 and'in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Lonnie Hoffner, 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 AWC800017 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 Amity Hills Farm, located in Rowan County, with an animal capacity of no greater than an annual average of 300 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 revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please pay careful attention to the record keeping 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.

Mooresville, NC 28115 Subject: Operation Review/Compliance Amity Hills Farm, Facility #: 80-17 Rowan County, NC Dear Mr. Hoffner: The year 2002 is the beginning of the fifth year of the animal operation inspection program. Given this, there should be no misunderstanding as to what is required. However, as a reminder, the following information is a partial list of what is required: • A copy of the Permit, Certified Farm Plan, and Certification form(s) must be available for review. The certified farm plan must be followed (application rates, fields used for waste application, and crops grown to receive waste must be adhered to). You are in violation if you do not comply with any aspect of your farm plan or permit. • Annual soil analysis (properly documented) is required. The soils lab states that the preferred time (for efficiency) to process samples for analysis is between May and September. • Waste analyses must be conducted within 60 days of the waste application date. If the results are irregular, this should give adequate time to collect/analyze a new sample. • Waste application records. The records should be complete and legible. Errors should not be erased, but marked through and the correct information written on the following line. Remember, although the information may be clear to you or the operator, the information must be understandable to the person(s) performing the review. • Weekly freeboard records must be maintained. The "pump marker" must be clearly marked and visible at all times. There should be no question as to what is the pump marker during an inspcetion. • A certified operator must be designated. By completing a form and mailing to DWQ. • The facility must be maintained and operated according to the operation and maintenance information enclosed in the farm plan. This includes maintaining the area (mowing) around buildings and the lagoon/storage pond embankments. The list above comprises the majority, but certainly not all, of the requirements that must be followed. If permitted, the conditions of your permit should be review by you and your operator. Failure to have the necessary information available for inspection or to comply with the conditions of your permit could result in a Notice of Violation or further enforcement actions. If there is any uncertainty on your part regarding compliance with the permit, please feel free to contact Rocky Durham with the Division of Soil and Water or me at (704) 663-1699.

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. IRR1, IRR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR1, SLUR2, SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review.

This notice is being issued as a Notice of Deficiency due to the lack -< of maintenance on the storage pond. Inspection of the pond was difficult and visibility of the pump marker was poor. It was also observed that the southeast corner of the "heavy-use".area should be fenced off to increase the buffer for the clean water drainage ditch and to prevent further erosion/gullying. 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 during an inspection: Certification forms. Site Diagram, which shows fencing, streams, buffer zones, and feed areas. raw=- :,,::� Waste Application records, with accompanying waste analyses. acreage Maps of and irrigated fields. p g g �-- Waste Utilization plan, tract/field number, usabletwettable acres not necessarily total acreage), list of crops, PAN required, and amount of waste produced by livestock. Waste and Soil analysis information. Must have three years of data. r It is suggested that this be maintained in a single folder. Emergency Action Plan, which must be posted.

Mooresville, NC 28115 Subject: Site Inspection Amity Hills Farm, Facility #: 80-17 Rowan County, NC Dear Mr. Hoffner: 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 for the animal facilities 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 unpermitted 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. 919 NORTH MAIN STREET, MOORESVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA 281 15 PHONE 704-663-1699 FAX 704-663-6040 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY/ AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER -509,' RECYCLED/10%POST-CONSUMER PAPER JAMES B.

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 (1/3) N at planting and remainder mi late February or early March. • Corn/Sorghum: For facilities that primp 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 (1/2) of the N in mid-February to March and one- � ee half (1/2) in mid-August to September. • Bermuda grass: Establishing: 30 to 40 lbs 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 analysis (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 pr6idtcer 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.

Amity Hills Farm Facility Number: 80-17 Rowan County 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.

Mooresville, NC 28115 Dear Mr. Hoffner: Aa IDEEHNF;Z DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY September 15, 1997 Subject: Certification/Notice of Violations Amity Hills Farm, Facility #: 80-17 Rowan County, NC 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 Iagoons/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. 919 North Main Street, C�y4 FAX 704-663-6040 Mooresville, North Caroline 28115 An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer Af Voice 704.663-1699 50% recycled/ 1(r/e pest -consumer -paper 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.

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. Sincerely, FOgteve W.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should he used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization pl4n uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling. techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.02.1.7 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Your animal waste management facility has been designed for a given storage capacity. When the waste reaches the designed level, it must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and / or ground water. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops on the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle and annual soil tests are encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop grown.

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 not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The acres needed to apply animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements may be more or less based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN The design of your waste management facility is based on the following: A 300 bead milking herd with an average animal live weight of 1400 lbs. Amount of Waste Produced Per Year (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.) 300 animals x 21 (gal/day/cow) waste/animal year x 365 (number of days) x 75 (% confinement time) = 1,724,625_ gallons of waste/year. Amount of Plant Available Nitrogen (EAN) Produced Per Year 300 animals x 76 lbs. N/animal/yr = 22,800 lbs. Total N Total Nitrogen produced/yT. 22,800 lbs. Total N (PAM from NCDA Test Report) or (PAN from N.C. Tech. Guide Std. 633) Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner. The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown and surface application: FOR APPLICATION RATES SEE TABLE 1 WASTE UTILIZATI(1N PLAN Your waste storage pond is designed for 120 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every! MONTHS. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed the maximum operating level elevation of 93.9 . A permanent marker will be placed at this elevation. Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or Soil and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. NARRA TI VE OF OPER; i TION: This operation has 335 acres available for waste application. The crop rotation will be a 2 year system of corn cut for silage or harvested for grain in the first year, followed by small grain cut for silage and soybeans in the second year. Nitrogen will be applied to crops based on the realistic yields at the rates listed in table I. Timing and application rates will be as followed: Corn silage: April -May at the rate of 150 lbs. of N/ac no more than 30 days before planting. Corn grain: April -May at the rate of 100 lbs of N/ac no more than 30 days before planting. Sm. Grain silage: Sept.- Oct. at the rate of 96 lbs. of N/ac no more than 30 days before planting. Soybeans: April -Jun. at the rate of 100 lbs. of N/ac no more than 30 days before planting. Annual Ryegrass/Pasture: Mar -Jun and Aug -Nov at the rate of 94 lbs of N/ac Fescue/Pasture: Mar. -Jun. and Aug -Nov at the rate of 113 lbs of N/ac Fescue(Hay: Mar -Jun and Aug -Nov at the rate of 150 lbs of N/ac. On fields which will be grazed reduce the amount of N required by 25%. On fields which follow soybeans in rotation reduce the amount of N required by 20 lbs/ac Waste applied to tracts and fields in Table 1 will be hauled and broadcast with a honeywagon, tanker or manure spreader. Maintain all waste handling equipment in accordance with manufactures specifications. The system should be evaluated every year to ensure proper acreage and proper system. NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Ell . .

The plant nutrients in the animal waste"should be 'used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer,required�for the crops on the fields h were'the waste is to -be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle and annual soil tests are encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of,the crop to be•grown. 4. 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 tie crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste.' "Do not. apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates and leaching potental. Waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. Do not �t apply waste on saturated soils or on land when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.. The acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements may be more or less based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. The design of your waste management facility is based on the following: Amount of w ste Produced Per Year. 306 animals x 2i total waste produced. 4"" �•r ? ,'i '.`� ! f1 a E r� q'yi .A a t 7` -x -. z x y ATTACH21FM A Page 2 Amount'of Nitrogen Prodyce er year: &0&—animals x 71P_lbs N/animal/yr total N Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should ,plan.time'and.have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner. Your facility is designed for Jg'4- days of storage.` Therefore, it will need to be pumped every �^ months`: The following.acreage for waste application will be needed based.an the.crop to be grown and surface application: Feld Soil Crop Realistic lbs.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Your animal waste management facility has been designed for a given storage capacity. When the waste reaches the designed level, it must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and / or ground water. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops on the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the Iimiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle and annual soil tests are encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop grown.

Acreage requirements may be more or less based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. 2 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN The design of your waste management facility is based on the following: A 300 head milking herd with an average animal live weight of 1400 lbs. Amount of Waste Produced Per Year (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.) 300 animals x 21 (gal/day/cow) waste/animal year x 365 (number of days) x 75 (% confinement time) = 1,724,625_ gallons of waste/year. Amount of Plant Available Nitro en Produced Per Year 300 animals x 76 lbs. N/animal/yr = 22,800 lbs. Total N Total Nitrogen produced/yr. 22,800 lbs. Total N (PAN from NCDA Test Report) or (PAN from N.C. Tech. Guide Std. 633) Applying the above amount of waste is a big jab. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner. The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown and surface application: FOR APPLICATION RATES SEE TABLE 1 3 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Your waste storage pond is designed for 120 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every_4 MONTHS. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed the maximum operating level elevation of 93.9 . A permanent marker will be placed at this elevation. Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or Soil and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount per acre .to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. NARRATIVE OF OPERA TION. This operation has 385 acres available for waste application. The crop rotation will be a 2 year system of corn cut for silage or harvested for grain in the first year, followed by small grain cut for silage and soybeans in the second year. Nitrogen will be applied to crops based on the realistic yields at the rates listed in table 1. Timing and application rates will be as followed: Corn silage: April -May at the rate of 150 lbs. of N/ac no more than 30 days before planting. Corn grain: April -May at the rate of 100 lbs of Nlac no more than 30 days before planting. Sm. Grain silage: Sept.- Oct. at the rate of 96 lbs. of N/ac no more than 30 days before planting. Soybeans: April -Jun. at the rate of 100 lbs. of N/ac no more than 30 days before planting. Annual Ryegrass/Pasture: Mar -Jun and Aug -Nov at the rate of 94 lbs of N/ac Fescue/Pasture: Mar. -Jun. and Aug -Nov at the rate of 113 lbs of N/ac Fescue/Hay: Mar -Jun and Aug -Nov at the rate of 150 lbs of N/ac. On fields which will be grazed reduce the amount of N required by 25%. On fields which follow soybeans in rotation reduce the amount of N required by 20 lbs/ac Waste applied to tracts and fields in Table 1 will be hauled and broadcast with a honeywagon, tanker or manure spreader. Maintain all waste handling equipment in accordance with manufactures specifications. The system should be evaluated every year to ensure proper acreage and proper system. NOTE. The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. 4 DATE: 9116199 Lonnie Hoffner Dairy Waste Storage Structure Rowan, NC Design Criteria: 300 Dairy cows at 1,400 lbs. each = 120 days storage 5 gal./day/cow of wastewater 2,000 sq. ft. of non -pond Drainage Area Waste from Freestall area and access alleys will be scraped and stored in the waste storage pond, as well as the runoff from approximatety 2,000 Sq. ft of the bams and loafing lot. 1.

PLAN The design of your waste management facility is based on the following: A 300 head milking herd with an average animal live weight of 1400 lbs. Amount of Waste Produced Per Year (gallons, W, tons, etc.) 300 animals x 21 (gal/day/cow) waste/animal year x 365 (number of days) x 75 (%confinement time) = 1,724,625_ gallons of waste/year. Amount of Plant Available Nitrogen Ah Produced Per Year 300 animals x 76 lbs. N/animal/yr = 22,800 lbs. Total N . Total Nitrogen produced/yr. 22,800 lbs. Total N (PAN from NCDA Test Report) or (PAN from N.C. Tccb. Guide Std. 633) Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner. The following acreage % ill be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown and surface application:. FOR APPLICATION RATES SEE TABLE 1 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Your waste storage pond is designed for 120 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every4 MONTHS. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed the maximum operating level elevation of 93.9 . A permanent marker will be placed at this elevation. Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or Soil and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. NARRATIVE OF OPERATION: This operation has 385 acres available for waste application. The crop rotation will be a 2 year system of corn cut for silage or harvested for grain in the first year, followed by small grain cut for silage and soybeans in the second year. Nitrogen will be applied to crops based on the realistic yields at the rates listed in table 1. Timing and application rates will be as followed: Corn silage: April -May at the rate of 150 lbs. of N/ac no more than 30 days before planting. Corn grain: April -May at the rate of 100 lbs of N/ac no more than 30 days before planting. Sm. Grain silage: Sept.- Oct. at the rate of 96 lbs. of N/ac no more than 30 days before planting. Soybeans: April -Jun. at the rate of 100 lbs. of N/ac no more than 30 days before planting. Annual Ryegrass/Pasture: Mar -Jun and Aug -Nov at the rate of 94 lbs of N/ac Fescue/Pasture: Mar. -Jun. and Aug -Nov at the rate of 113 lbs of N/ac Fescue/Hay: Mar -Jun and Aug -Nov at the rate of 150 lbs of N/ac. On fields which will be grazed reduce the amount of N required by 25%. On fields which follow soybeans in rotation reduce the amount of N required by 20 lbs/ac Waste applied to tracts and fields in Table 1 will be hauled and broadcast with a hone}wagon, tanker or manure spreader. Maintain all waste handling equipment in accordance with manufactures specifications. The system should be evaluated every year to ensure proper acreage and proper system. NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. 4 ....WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN AGREEMENT NAME OF FARM: .�h1, 71►d : ► lL :Illi of DIV 1040" I (we) understand and will follow and implement the specification and the operation and maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above.
