Swine Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Union County
Dear Robbie Plyler:
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 January 22, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of
Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Robbie
Plyler, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land
application system in accordance with General Permit AWG 100000. The issuance of this COC
supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS900051 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 Triple G Farm, located in Union County, with an animal capacity of no greater
than an annual average of 140 Farrow to Feeder swine and the application to land as specified in the
facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to
Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary, they may
be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4
gilts for every 3 sows
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. 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.
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
Water Quality Staff may be reached at [phone]. If you need additional information concerning
this COC or the General Permit, please contact Duane Leith at [phone].

Dear Robbie Plyler:
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 Swine Waste Operation General
Permit AWG100000. 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 January 22, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of
Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Robbie
Plyler, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land
application system in accordance with General Permit AWGI00000. The issuance of this COC
supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS900051 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 Triple G Farm, located in Union County, with an animal capacity of no greater
than an annual average of 140 Farrow to Feeder swine and the application to land as specified in the

Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary, they may
be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4
gilts for every 3 sows
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

This N is from animal waste only. If nutrients from other
sources such as commercial fertilizer are applied, they must be
accounted for. N must be based on realistic yield expectation.
NOTE: The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied
while meeting the N requirements. Beginning in 1996 the Coastal
Zone Management Act will require farmers in some eastern counties
Of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses
all nutrients. This plan only addresses Nitrogen.
K

I. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by
runoff, drift, manmade conveyances (such as pipes or
ditches), direct application, or direct discharge during
operation or land application. Proper application rate and
method shall be used to ensure that these specifications
are met. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface
water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to the
assessment of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day by
the Division of Environmental Management for every day
the discharge continues.
2. The waste utilization plan will contain documentation
that the producer has adequate means for disposal of the
animal waste generated on the farm. One or a combination
of the following will be utilized:
a. Producer owns adequate land for the use of wastes
at agronomic rate.
b. If the producer does not own adequate land to
properly use the wastes, the technical specialist
will evaluate the location of other land to
determine the feasibility and practicability for
land application.
A notarized agreement with landowner(s) will be
on file with the waste utilization plan for either:
(1) agreement for life of facility
(2) annual or multi -year agreement
These agreements shall include tract number(s)
and acres where waste may be applied.
c. When third -party applicators are utilized to apply
waste on land that the producer does not own, or
has agreement to land apply waste, the producer
will obtain a notarized certification from the
applicator that waste will be applied at
agronomic rates with adequate buffers, or the
third party is using an alternative waste
utilization system that has been accepted in
writing by DEM.
d. Producer has an alternative waste utilization
system accepted in writing by DEM.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the
nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type,
available moisture, historical yield data, climatic
North Carolina State University 47

conditions, and level of management, unless there are
regulations that restrict the rate of application for other
nutrients. Soil tests shall be made every two years and a
waste analysis made within 60 days of waste application.
Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for 5 years.
4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource
Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation
System (ACS). If an ACS is used, the soil loss shall be no
greater than 10 tons per acre per year and a grass filter strip
will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips
will be in addition to "buffers" required by the North
Carolina Nondischarge Rules. (See FOTG Standard 393—
Filter Strips.)
S. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil
infiltration rate. No ponding should occur in order to
control conditions conducive to odor or flies.
6. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during
rainfall, or when the surface is frozen. 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.
7. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to
planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. A
suitable cover crop should be planted to scavenge nutrients
especially in sandy, leachable soils. On soils with a high
potential for leaching, multiple applications at lower rates
should be used.
8. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995
shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of
the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon
that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet
from any residential property boundary and from any
perennial stream or river other than an irrigation ditch
or canal.
For operations in existence prior to October 1, 1995, the setback
distance from perennial streams or rivers is 25 feet.
North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service

0
9. 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. This distance may be reduced
for waters that are not perennial provided adequate
vegetative filter strips are present.
10. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet
to wells.
11. Animal waste shall not be applied within 200 feet of
dwellings other than those owned by the landowner.
12. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other
property and public rights -of -way.
13. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters,
including drainageways and wetlands by a discharge or by
overspraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior
converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a
land application site by a "technical specialist." Animal
waste should not be applied to grassed waterways that
discharge directly into water courses. If used in this
situation, waste must be applied at agronomic rates and in
a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site.
14. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities,
showers, toilets, and sinks shall not be discharged into the
animal waste management system.
is. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment
structures must maintain a maximum operating level- to
provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event
in addition to the 1-foot mandatory freeboard. Highly
visible, permanent markers shall be installed to mark the
top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage
(pumping volume). Pumping shall be managed to
maintain the liquid level between the markers.
16. if animal production at the facility is to be suspended or
terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and
implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, and erosion.
17. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, and reels should
be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns,
North Carolina State University 49

leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be
kept on -site.
18. All exisiting operations that have a waste utilization plan
and an irrigation system shall have an irrigation plan that
includes the approximate maximum useable size of field,
maximum application rate (in/hr) and maximum
application per irrigation cycle.
For new or expanding operations or systems without an
approved waste utilization plan, an irrigation design and
plan is required. The plan must include the type of
equipment, system layout, equipment settings, operating
parameters, as well as the approximate maximum useable
size of field, maximum application rate (in/hr) and
maximum application per irrigation cycle.
19. Records of waste application shall be maintained to
establish actual application rates. The records will include
date of application, amount of waste applied per acre by
tract number and field number, most recent waste analysis
and soil test report, and the realistic yield expectation
(R.Y.E.) nitrogen rate.
20. All new or expanded systems or retrofitted structures shall
be designed by the current standard. Waste Utilization
Plans for systems that have adequate storage in the
collection system shall be developed by using the standard
that was in place when the design was approved for the
collection system.
21. Animal waste can be used in a'rotation that includes
vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption.
However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human
consumption it should only be applied prepiant with no
further applications of animal waste during the crop
season.
22. This plan shall include the number of acres required for
land application of sludge accumulated over a 15-year
period. The sludge shall be analysed and applied at
agronomic rates.
23. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure
an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a
Norrh Carolina Cooperative &Wnsion SEMU

change in the operation, increase in the number of
animals, method of utilization, or available land.
Additional Considerations
24. A waste utilization plan is based on average manure
nutrient content and may vary by as much as plus or
minus 20 percent. To properly implement this plan based
on actual waste analysis, you may need additional acres or
to reduce animal numbers.
25. Proper calibration of application equipment should be
done to ensure uniformity and accuracy of spreading rates.
26. Maintaining good crop growing conditions will reduce
both runoff losses and leaching losses of plant nutrients.
Preventing pest damage to the crop, adjusting soil pH for
optimum growth, providing good soil conditions for root
development, planting suitable crop varieties, and
improving water management practices will increase
crop efficiency in nutrient uptake.
27. Harvest and remove the crop from the field it was grown
in. Hay should be removed from the harvested area within
one year. If stored for more than one year, hav or silage
should be covered.
A grazing plan should be developed to encourage
controlled frequent rotation grazing, multiple drinking
water sites, and strategic harvesting to optimize fecal and
urine distribution by grazing animals. These practices will
minimize potential point sources from stock camps, shade
trees, water tanks, and heavy use areas.
28. PLAN AHEAD. Be prepared to irrigate when suitable
conditions develop. No management decision is more
important than maintaining adequate storage capacity in
the lagoon at all times. Schedule one to two irrigations
(0.5 to 1 inch) as early in the application window as the
cropping system allows. This will lower the lagoon level by
6 to 12 inches, and provide the additional storage needed
to survive an unusually wet season. Likewise, do not wait
until the very last day in the application window to apply
that "final" irrigation of the season. Try to achieve the
minimum lagoon treatment level 30 days prior to the end
North Carolina Sure University 51

of the application window so that if wet conditions
unexpectantly develop, adequate storage will already be
achieved to carry you through the wet period.
29. Crop sequences, cover crops, and surface crop residues are
useful tools for reducing runoff and leaching losses of
soluble nutrients. Winter cover crops can capture residual
nutrients after harvest of the summer crop. Nutrients from
green manures and cover crops must be considered to
determine the appropriate nutrient additions.

Dear Mr. Plyler:
Mr. Alan Johnson of this Office conducted a site inspection of your facility on
April 27, 1999.. This report is being issued as a Notice of Deficiency (NOD) for
failing to have in your files the completed checklists for insect control, odor control,
and animal mortality. Also, the waste application records did not have an
accompanying waste analysis.
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 items below must be available for review during the inspection.
• Certification forms.
• Site Diagram: Fencing, streams, buffer zones, feed areas.
• 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: Should have 3 years of data
It is suggested that this be maintained in.a single folder.
• Emergency Action Plan should be posted.
• Insect, Odor Control, and Mortality Checklists 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 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.

Triple G. Farm, Facility #: 90-51
Union County, NC
Dear Mr. Plyler:
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 inspection.
• 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 farts 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 [phone].

I was reviewing your waste plan in regards to wettable acres from the most recent waste
plan. The waste utilization plan (WUP) states that 2.5 acres is needed to handle the waste
produced by the animals at the facility. Table l of the WUP list field one of tract 3375 as the 2.5
acres. This accounts for the two (2) irrigation heads. Also listed is a field number two. Under
the "field acre" column for field two is the word "wet" in parentheses. Should the word "wet" be
included on that line? One might assume that this area is also irrigated. My understanding is that
only the 2.5 acres are irrigated. The total amount of N allowed to be applied on both field one
and two is 1715 lbs. on a total 9.5 acres.
In Table 2, the section calculating the total amount of N utilized shows the acreage
utilized as 2.5 acres and not 9.5 acres for the 1715 lbs. Also the farm services map lists the total
acres for that particular tract/field (tract 3375) as 8.5 acres. After excluding for buffers the total
usable acres should be less.
Please double-check this information. It appears to be minor errors that just need to be
corrected. I have included the tables and maps to for your convenience. It is requested that you
respond in writing at your earliest convenience. If you have any questions concerning this
matter, please do not hesitate to me at [phone].

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Amount of Waste Produced Per Year
140 animals units X .14 ac. in /animal urut/yr = 19.6 ac. in /year. to o a
Amount of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) Produced Per Year
140 animal units. X 6.5 lbs. PAN/ animal unit/yr. = _910 lbs. PAN/year
(FAN 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:

* This N is from animal waste only. If nutrients from other sources such as commercial
fertilizer are applied, they must be accounted for. N must be based on realistic yield
expectation.
NOTE: The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the
N requirements. Beginning in 1996 the Coastal Zone Management Act will require
farmers in some eastern counties of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan
that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses Nitrogen.

Site Inspection. Report
Union County, NC
Dear Mr. Plyler:
Mr. Alan Johnson of this Office conducted a site inspection of your facility on July 20,
2000. Based on his observations during the inspection, the facility appeared to be well
maintained and operated. Enclosed please find the inspection report, which should be self-
explanatory.
During the 2000 calendar year there was a significant difference between the calculated
and the actual value for the amount of waste produced by the animals. Because of the fluctuation
in livestock numbers as well as precipitation or lack there of, it is expected that there will be
differences in the actual amount and estimated amount of waste produced. However, incases of
a significant difference, documentation of animal numbers, rainfall, or other pertinent factors
should be provided. It may also be beneficial to compare the flow meter value on the irrigation
system to the design value used in comp 6fing.the IRR=2 form.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact Mr.
Johnson or me at [phone].

Dear Mr. Plyler:
Mr. Alan Johnson of this Office conducted a site inspection of your facility on
May 16, 2000. This report is being issued as a Notice of Deficiency (NOD) for the
discrepancy in your waste application records. The farm plan states that 540,000
gallons of waste should be produced by your operation annually. Your records show
that a total of only 43-000 gallons of waste were land applied to the waste application
field during 1999. This discrepancy needs to be explained.
It is requested that a written response be submitted to this office by June 20,
2000 stating the reasons for this discrepancy. Please address the response to the
attention of Mr. Johnson.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to
contact Mr. Johnson or me at [phone].

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 90-11
Union 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. 1RR1, IRR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR1, SLUR2,
SLDI , 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.

Dear Mr. Plyler:
Mr. Alan Johnson of this Office conducted a site inspection of your facility on
April 27, 1999. This report is being issued as a Notice of Deficiency (NOD) for
failing to have in your files the completed checklists for insect control, odor control,
and animal mortality. Also, the waste application records did not have an
accompanying waste analysis.
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 items below must be available for review during the inspection.
• Certification forms.
• Site Diagram: Fencing, streams, buffer zones, feed areas.
• 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: Should have 3 years of data
It is suggested that this be maintained in,a single folder.
• Emergency Action Plan should be posted.
• Insect, Odor Control, and Mortality Checklists 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 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.

Subject: Site Inspection
Triple G. Farm, Facility #: 90-51
Union County, NC
Dear Mr. Plyler:
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 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.

PHONE [phone] FAX [phone]
AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY /AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER - 50% RECYCLED/10% POST -CONSUMER PAPER

Page 2
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 Recorrunendations for Nitrogen (I) Application for Common Crops:
• Small Grains: One-third (1/3) 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 com is 18 inches high.
• Fescue/Orchardgrass: Apply one-half (1/2) of the N in mid -February to March and one-
. �.
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 ApriI 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 anaivsis (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
maximise crop production.

Page 3
Waste sam leslanal sis ($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 S) 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].

Subject: Certification/Notice of Violations
Triple G. Farm, Facility #: 90-51
Union 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 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 Iagoon/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 farms 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
at [phone].

Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study
Commission on Agricultural Waste, enacted by the 1996 North Carolina General Assembly,
requires a certified operator for each animal waste management system that serves 250 or more
swine by January 1, 1997. The owner of each animal waste management system must submit a
designation form to the Technical Assistance and Certification Group which designates an
Operator in Charge and is countersigned by the certified operator. The enclosed form must be
submitted by January 1, 1997 for all facilities in operation as of that date. Failure to designate a
certified operator for your animal waste management system is a violation of 15A NCAC 2H
.0224 and may result in the assessment of a civil penalty.
If you have questions concerning operator training or examinations for certification, please
contact your local North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service agent or our office.
Examinations have been offered on an on -going basis in many counties throughout the.state for
the past several months and will continue to be offered through December 31, 1996.
Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions concerning this requirement please
call Beth Buffington or Barry Huneycutt of our staff at 919/733-0026.

Mr. Johnson:
Enclosed is the requested material as per your August 30t" letter. In
actuality field 1 is a total of 8.5 acres broken down to fields 1A & 1B. 1A is
a Bermuda/winter oats field of 2.5 actual acres irrigated. 1B is the
remainder of field 1. It is a "fescue for hay" field of 5.5 available acres for
broadcast of waste. Field 2 is a "fescue for hay" field with 4.0 of 4.4 acres
available for waste broadcasting. The irrigation acres are the primary
application areas with the other acres available if needed. I hope this
clarifies some of the confusion for you. Let Mr. Pigg or myself know if you
need additional information.

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:

* This N is from animal waste only. If nutrients from other sources such as commercial
fertilizer are applied, they must be accounted for. N must be based on realistic yield
expectation.
NOTE: The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the
N requirements. Beginning in 1996 the Coastal Zone Management Act will require
farmers in some eastern counties of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan
that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses Nitrogen.

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 April 22, 2000:
1. According to the Animal Waste Management Plan Certification (AWMPC), there are exterior lots at this
facility. Please provide calculations and dimensions of any exterior lots that contribute to the waste treatment
lagoon as part of the lagoon documentation.
2. The Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) calculated for this facility appears to be lower than current NRCS
standards For an anaerobic lagoon with irrigated effluent. According to Standard 633, the amount of PAN
generated should be 6.5 pounds of PAN per head. Please refer to NRCS recommended PAN calculations or
provide justification for the reduction in PAN at this facility.
3. Your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) lists the nitrogen uptake for wheat on tract 3367, field 1 as 100 pounds
per acre. This is higher than the current recommendation (40 bushels per acre*2.4 pounds per bushel = 96
pounds per acre). Please contact your technical specialist to revise the Waste Utilization Plan or provide
justification that supports the increased yield as shown in the current WUP. Please note that all WUP
revisions must be signed and dated by both the owner and the technical specialist.
4. Since there were changes made to the Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) due to the previous information request
the WUP Agreement needs to be resigned and redated by the owner and the technical specialist.
Please note that all WUP revisions trust 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 April 22, 2000 or the Division will return your application as incomplete in accordance with 15A
N.C.A.C. 2H .0200 and your facility will be considered to be operating without a permit.
Please be advised that operation of the subject animal waste management system without a valid permit is a violation of North
Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and will subject you to the enforcement authority of the Environmental Management
Commission.

Dear Robbie Plyler:
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 March 22, 2000:
I. Please provide lagoon capacity documentation (design, as -built calculations, etc.). Be sure to include any
site evaluations, wetland determinations, or hazard classifications that may be applicable.
2. The irrigation parameters listed in your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) are not listed for all crops and fields
shown in tables 1 and 2. It is currently recommended that total application amounts not exceed one inch in
any application event for any soil type. Please have your Technical Specialist include irrigation parameters
for all crops listed in the WUP.
3. Your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) lists the nitrogen uptake for wheat on tract 3367, field I as 120 pounds
per acre. This is higher than currently recommended. Please contact your technical specialist to revise the
WUP or provide justification that supports the increased yield as shown in the current WUP. Please note
that all WUP revisions must be signed and dated by both the owner and the technical specialist.
4. The map provided does not show the acreage for tract 3367, field 1. Please provide a make that clearly
identifies all fields and acreages to be used for waste application.
5. Please verify that there is a lease agreement for all leased land to be used for animal waste application.

Robbie or Debbie,
Enclosed is the certification form we discussed at your farm. Also attached is the revised
waste management sketch we discussed. Please include these forms with your original waste
management plan. I have mailed a certification form to the Dept. of Env. Health and Natural
Resources for you. I also have retained a copy for our files. The certification of your operation
states that all the necessary components to collect and manage the waste produced by your
operation have been installed with the exception of the bermuda on the designated application
areas. It will now be.your responsibility to maintain the operation in compliance with your waste
management plan and in accordance with local, state, and federal laws. Failure to comply can
and most probably will result in environmental fines. As we discussed records will need to be
kept as to the number of pounds of available nitrogen that is applied per acre on an annual basis.
Additionally it maybe advantageous to keep records on animal days grazed & 1bs of hay
removed. If you need any further information or we can be of further service please contact our
office.
Sincerely;
AV

I (we) verify that all the above information is correct and will be updated upon changing. I (we) understand the operation and
maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste management plan for the farm named above and will
implement these procedures. 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 Division of
Environmental Management before the new animals are stocked. I (we) understand that there must be no discharge of animal
waste from the storage or application system to surface waters of the state either directly through a man-made conveyance or
from a storm event less severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm and there must not be run-off from the application of animal
waste. I (we) understand that run-off of pollutants from lounging and heavy use areas must be minimized using technical
standards developed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service. The approved plan will be fled at the farm and at the
office of the local Soil and Water Conservation District. I (we) know that any modification must be approved by a technical
specialist and submitted to the Soil and Water Conservation District prior to implementation. A change in land ownership
requires written notification to DEM or a new certification (if the approved plan is changed) within 60 days of a title transfer.

Robbie;
In response to your request as per the attached letter from NCDENR dated March 23,
2000, I have addressed the 4 items mentioned.
(1) The exterior lot runoff does not contribute to the waste stored in the lagoon. The 50'
grass buffer as shown on the WUP filters all runoff from these exterior lots.
(2) I have corrected the PANT produced to 6.5 lbs/unit as requested.
(3) I changed the WUP to apply 96 lbs of PAN to the wheat on field 1 of Tract 3367. My
documents, both Union Counties Soil Survey series and the Alpha soils info indicate
a 50 bu. RYE for wheat on Cid soils.
(4) Lastly, I have included a new WUP agreement sheet.
Let me know if I can be of further service.
Sincerely;
Richard . Pigg

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN''
Producer: Robbie Plyler
Location: 4604 Stack Rd., Monroe, N.C. 28112
Telephone: [phone]
Type Operation: Farrow - Feeder l
Number of Animals : 140 sows
(Design Capacity)
The waste from your animal facility must be Iand applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should
be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields
where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting
nutrient. Waste must be analyzed within 60 days of each application cycle. Annual soil
tests are required 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. 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 must 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, but may increase nitrogen into streams
due to erosion.
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.

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:

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

Realistic Yield Expectations
The attached table contains the realistic yield expectations for commonly grown crops an
the soil series mapped in NC. Yields shown are for NON -IRRIGATED crops using a
HIGH level of management. Remember, RYEs are not the highest yield possible but
should represent the average of the best 3 years of yield out of 5 years.
The yields are shown by soil series. Yields should be adjusted for different phases of
the series - i.e. slopes and erosion classes. Use the chart below to make the necessary
adjustments to the yield.

For example, the RYE table indicates that the yield for corn on a Norfolk soil is 110
bushels per acre. This yield is reflective of corn grown on a non irrigated Norfolk soil
with a slope of less than 2% and non -eroded. To adjust for a Norfolk on a 3 - 4% slope
(NoB), reduce the table value by 2%. 110 x 0.98 = 108
If the site was an eroded NoB then the adjustment would be 110 x 0.89 = 98
This calculation indicates the yield for different slopes and eresion phases of the soil.
However, after performing this calculation, if you believe the yield of a eroded NoB is
actually 105 bushels per acre rather than 98 bushels then you should adjust the RYE of
the Norfolk series in the table so that when the calculation is performed, you get your
desired RYE for the NoB soil. The following is an example:
Local group believes RYE for eroded NoB is 105 bushels instead of 98 bushels
Adjustment = 105 10.89 = 118 bushels
Result: The RYE value in the table should be adjusted to 118 bushels per acre (rather
than the current 110). Now the table indicates that a non -eroded Norfolk sail
on less than a 2% slope has an RYE of 118 bushels per acre. Upon
calculation for an eroded NoB on a 3 - 4% slope, the RYE is 105 bushels per
acre.
If your group believes the table value for the soil is correct but that the adjustment is
wrong, then instead of putting corrected value in the table, simply footnote the table
entry and attach a separate sheet indicating what the RYE for the particular soil phase
should be.

Animal Waste Management Systems/
Se
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by
runoff, drift, manmade conveyances (such as pipes or
ditches), direct application, or direct discharge during
operation or land application. Proper application rate and
method shall be used to ensure that these specifications
are met. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface
water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to the
assessment of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day by
the Division of Environmental Management for every day
the discharge continues.
2. The waste utilization plan will contain documentation
that the producer has adequate means for disposal of the
animal waste generated on the farm. One or a combination
of the following will be utilized:
a. Producer owns adequate land for the use of wastes
at agronomic rate.
b. If the producer does not own adequate land to
properly use the wastes, the technical specialist
will evaluate the location of other land to
determine the feasibility and practicability for
land application.
A notarized agreement with landowner(s) will be
on file with the waste utilization plan for either:
(1) agreement for life of facility
(2) annual or multi -year agreement
These agreements shall include tract number(s)
and acres where waste may be applied.
c. When third -party applicators are utilized to apply
waste on land that the producer does not own, or
has agreement to land apply waste, the producer
will obtain a notarized certification from the
applicator that waste will be applied at
agronomic rates with adequate buffers, or the
third party is using an alternative waste
utilization system that has been accepted in
writing by DEM.
d. Producer has an alternative waste utilization
system accepted in writing by DEM.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the
nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type,
available moisture, historical yield data, climatic

conditions, and level of management, unless there are
regulations that restrict the rate of application for other
nutrients. Soil tests shall be made every two years and a
waste analysis made within 60 days of waste application.
Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for 5 years.
4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource
Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation
System (ACS). If an ACS is used, the soil loss shall be no
greater than 10 tons per acre per year and a grass filter strip
will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips
will be in addition to "buffers" required by the North
Carolina Nondischarge Rules. (See FOTG Standard 393—
Filter Strips.)
5. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil
infiltration rate. No ponding should occur in order to
control conditions conducive to odor or flies.
6. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during
rainfall, or when the surface is frozen. 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.
7. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to
planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. A
suitable cover crop should be planted to scavenge nutrients
especially in sandy, leachable soils. On soils with a high
potential for leaching, multiple applications at lower rates
should be used.
8. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995
shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of
the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon
that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet
from any residential property boundary and from any
perennial stream or river other than an irrigation ditch
or canal.
For operations in existence prior to October 1, 1995, the setback
distance from perennial streams or rivers is 25 feet.
48 North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service

Animal Waste Management Systems
9. 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. This distance may be reduced
for waters that are not perennial provided adequate
vegetative filter strips are present.
10. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet
to wells.
11. Animal waste shall not be applied within 200 feet of
dwellings other than those owned by the landowner.
12. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other
property and public rights -of -way.
13. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters,
including drainageways and wetlands by a discharge or by
overspraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior
converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a
land application site by a "technical specialist." Animal
waste should not be applied to grassed waterways that
discharge directly into water courses. If used in this
situation, waste must be applied at agronomic rates and in
a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site.
14. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities,
showers, toilets, and sinks shall not be discharged into the
animal waste management system.
15. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment
structures must maintain a maximum operating level to
provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event
in addition to the 1-foot mandatory freeboard. Highly
visible, permanent markers shall be installed to mark the
top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage
(pumping volume). Pumping shall be managed to
maintain the liquid level between the markers.
16. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or
terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and
implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, and erosion.
17. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, and reels should
be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns,
North Carolina State University 49

Chapter 3: Waste Utilization Plans
leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be
kept on -site.
18. All exisiting operations that have a waste utilization plan
and an irrigation system shall have an irrigation plan that
includes the approximate maximum useable size of field,
maximum application rate (in/hr) and maximum
application per irrigation cycle.
For new or expanding operations or systems without an
approved waste utilization plan, an irrigation design and
plan is required. The plan must include the type of
equipment, system layout, equipment settings, operating
parameters, as well as the approximate maximum useable
size of field, maximum application rate (in/hr) and
maximum application per irrigation cycle.
19. Records of waste application shall be maintained to
establish actual application rates. The records will include
date of application, amount of waste applied per acre by
tract number and field number, most recent waste analysis
and soil test report, and the realistic yield expectation
(R.Y.E.) nitrogen rate.
20. All new or expanded systems or retrofitted structures shall
be designed by the current standard. Waste Utilization
Plans for systems that have adequate storage in the
collection system shall be developed by using the standard
that was in place when the design was approved for the
collection system.
21. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes
vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption.
However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human
consumption it should only be applied preplant with no
further applications of animal waste during the crop
season.
22. This plan shall include the number of acres required for
land application of sludge accumulated over a 15-year
period. The sludge shall be analysed and applied at
agronomic rates.
23. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure
an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a
so North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service

Animal Waste Management Systems
change in the operation, increase in the number of
animals, method of utilization, or available land.
Additional Considerations
24. A waste utilization plan is based on average manure
nutrient content and may vary by as much as plus or
minus 20 percent. To properly implement this plan based
on actual waste analysis, you may need additional acres or
to reduce animal numbers.
25. Proper calibration of application equipment should be
done to ensure uniformity and accuracy of spreading rates.
26. Maintaining good crop growing conditions will reduce
both runoff losses and leaching losses of plant nutrients.
Preventing pest damage to the crop, adjusting soil pH for
optimum growth, providing good soil conditions for root
development, planting suitable crop varieties, and
improving water management practices will increase
crop efficiency in nutrient uptake.
27. Harvest and remove the crop from the field it was grown
in. Hay should be removed from the harvested area within
one year. if stored for more than one year, hay or silage
should be covered.
A grazing plan should be developed to encourage
controlled frequent rotation grazing, multiple drinking
water sites, and strategic harvesting to optimize fecal and
urine distribution by grazing animals. These practices will
minimize potential point sources from stock camps, shade
trees, water tanks, and heavy use areas.
28. PLAN AHEAD. Be prepared to irrigate when suitable
conditions develop. No management decision is more
important than maintaining adequate storage capacity in
the lagoon at all times. Schedule one to two irrigations
(0.5 to 1 inch) as early in the application window as the
cropping system allows. This will lower the lagoon level by
6 to 12 inches, and provide the additional storage needed
to survive an unusually wet season. Likewise, do not wait
until the very last day in the application window to apply
that "final" irrigation of the season. Try to achieve the
minimum lagoon treatment level 30 days prior to the end
North Carolina State University

Chapter3: Waste Utilization Plans
of the application window so that if wet conditions
unexpectantly develop, adequate storage will already be
achieved to carry you through the wet period.
29. Crop sequences, cover crops, and surface crop residues are
useful tools for reducing runoff and leaching losses of
soluble nutrients. Winter cover crops can capture residual
nutrients after harvest of the summer crop. Nutrients from
green manures and cover crops must be considered to
determine the appropriate nutrient additions.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Producer: Robbie G. Plyler
Location: 4604 Stack Rd. Monroe, NC 28112 r
Telephone: [phone] J S 2
Type Operation. Farrow to feeder
Number of Animals : 140 sows
(Design Capacity)
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a
specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater.
The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce
the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the
fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization
plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be
analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are
strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for
realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste
utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the
waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe
manner. 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.

Zone Management Act will require farmers in some eastern counties
of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses
all nutrients. This plan only addresses Nitrogen.

Your facility is designed for N/A days of temporary storage and the
temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every
N/A MONTHS. In no instance should the volume of waste being
stored in your structure exceed Elevation _See Narrative_
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: Begin pumpout of the holding pond
when fluid level rises to six inches below the spillway.
Pump down schedule is included with your Waste Utilization
Plan.
As the owner / applicant it is your responsibility for the
management of the liquid level of your lagoon. Care should be taken
to go into the winter months with the level of the lagoon down
to allow for the storage months that will not allow you to pump on
the Annual Rye due to frozen or saturated soil conditions.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
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 of $10,000 per day by the
Division of Environmental Management for every day the
discharge continues.
2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the
producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land on which
to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land
to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a
written agreement (sample enclosed) with a landowner who is within a
reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste
application for the life expectancy of the production facility. It is the
responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the
Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in
the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for
realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data,
climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations
that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management
System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is
used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and
appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These
filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. [See FOTG
Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 (Interim) - Riparian Forest
Buffers.]
5.Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste
application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to
conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast
provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding.
(See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in the Technical Reference -
Environment file for guidance.)

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate
such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a
method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No
ponding should occur in order to control conditions conducive to odor or
flies and provide uniformity of application-
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or
when the surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that
no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted
crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading
rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter
cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be
applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop on bare soil.
11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water.
This distance may be reduced for waters that ar'e not perennial provided
adequate vegetative filter strips are present. SSee Standard 393 - Filter
Strips)
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other
than those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and
public right-of-ways.
1.5. 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 should not be applied on grassed waterways that
discharge directly into water courses, and only then at
agronomic rates provided the application causes no runoff
or drift from the site.
N.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities,
showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged
into the animal waste management system.
17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures
must maintain a maximum operating level to provide
adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in
addition to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard.
18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be
established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments,
berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation
shall be provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as
necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as
trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited
to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas
should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms and
structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of
erosion, leakage, or discharge.
19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended
or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and
implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and
erosion.
20. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc
should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent
breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance
checklist should be kept on site.

# of animals _140 Type of waste storage_Waste Holding Pond
This operation is a swine (Farrow to Feeder) with 140 sows.
A gravity flow flush system to a waste holding pond is in �
piace. The existing waste holding pond has surface
dimensions of 1521ft X 64'ft. Based on an assumed 8 foot
depth and 2.5 to 1 slopes, the existing waste holding pond
has a loading capacity of approximately .5 to one ratio.
Ful| storage volume is 243 days storage. Because draw down
for winter storage ump out to less than f|ve
vertical feet and reduce the anaerobic bacterial population
in a situation where the loading ratio is already less than
optimum, the operator will be required to add an additional
two feet to the top of the existing hoidin8 pond. This will
allow adequate capacity for winter storage and continue
anerobic bacterial break down of solids at the best rate
possible given ihe loading ratio. The existing holding pond
is full of solids which must be removed in order to allow
proper operation of the waste application system. The
contents wii| be agitated to a liquid slurry and removed by
" honey wagon" prior to the insta|iation of the SSWAS. This
will be the first item of the contract to be completed.
The second item of the contract will consist of an SSWAB.
The liquid effluent will be pumped on approximately 2.50
acres of coastal bermuda to be sprigged in 1996. Any new
solids accumulation will be removed as necessary by
mechanical agitation, "honeywa8on" or traveling gun and
spread on twelve acres of available leased cropland. This
should provide safe effluent disposal of nitrogen plus water
and nutrients for cropland production.

NUTRIENT LOADING
A waste sampie taken from this holding pond in November 1995
contained the folfow|n8 nutrient values per 1000/ga|. of
liquid effluent; N (0.87 !bs) P (0.66 |bs) K (3.2|bs ).
Actual nitrogen !eve| from the sample will require 1.56
acres of disposal area using book value volume production.
This design is based on an average value of 1.25 #
N/10003ais. The 2,50 acres wiH Provide year round waste
utilization when applied to Coastal Bermuda. Operation of
this system wi l | include matching irrigation cyc | es and
nutrient rates for the growth period of Coastal bermuda. For
examp ie, may be performed between
April and E7ep;e7mber on bermuda. There will be average of 3.3
ac.W/ft of waste storage voiume in the top foot of modified
holding pond or aprox|mate|y 61 days storage.

Emergency Action Plan
This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operations are leaking, overflowing, or
running off the site. You should NOT wait until wastes reach surface waters or leave your property to
consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to ensure that this does not happen. This
plan should be available to all employees at the facility, as accidents, leaks, and breaks can happen at any
time.
1) Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be possible. Suggested
responses to problems are listed below:
a) Lagoon overflow:
• add soil to the berm to increase the elevation of the dam
• pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate
• stop all additional flow to the lagoon (waterers)
• call a pumping contractor
• make sure no surface water is entering the lagoon
Note: These activities should be started when your lagoon level has exceeded the temporary storage level.
b) Runoff from waste application field:
• immediately stop waste application
• create a temporary diversion or berm to contain the waste on the field
• incorporate waste to reduce further runoff
c) Leaking from the waste distribution system:
• pipes and sprinklers:
O stop recycle (flushing system) pump
® stop irrigation pump
® close valves to eliminate further discharge
separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow
• flush system, houses, solids separators:
© stop recycle (flushing system) pump
* stop irrigation pump
* make sure no siphon effect has been created
(D separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow
d) Leakage from base or sidewall of the lagoon. Often these are seepage as opposed to flowing
leaks:
• dip a small well or ditch to catch all seepage, put in a submersible pump, and pump back
into the lagoon

• if holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals
and fill holes and compact with a clay type soil.
• other holes may be likewise temporarily plugged with clay soil.
Note: For permanent repair measures, lagoon problems require the
consultarion of an individual experienced in their design and installation-
?) Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages.
a) Did the waste reach any surface waters?
b) Approximately how much was released and for what duration?
c) Any damage noted, such as employee injury,' fish kills, or property damage?
3). Contact appropriate agencies.
a) Durincr normal business hours, call your DWQ regional office: - aafter
hours, emergency number. 1-800-858-0368. Your phone tail ould include: your
name, facility, telephone number, the details of the incident, the exact location of the
facility, and the location or direction of movement of the spill, weather and wind
conditions, what corrective measures have been taken, and the seriousness of the situation.
b) If the spill leaves the property or enters surface waters, call the local ENIS:
c) Instruct EMS to contact the local Health Department: 747-8181.
d) Contact CES:
local NRCS office:
and your integrator
aa-�!lBo1
01�3: AI(P3
Y) Implement procedures as advised by DWQ and technical assistance agencies to rectify the
damage, repair the system, and reassess the waste managemeht plan to keep problems with.
release of wastes from happening again.
5) Contact contract pumping and/or irrigation equipment companies:
