The waste from your animal facility 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 strongly encouraged
so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of
the crops 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 year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils or on land
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 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. Actual acreage
requirements may be more or less and 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,
for compliance with 15A NCAC
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.
See attached map(s) showing the fields to be used for the utilization
of animal waste. The following acreage will be needed for waste
application based on the crop to grown and method of application:

WASTE DISPOSAL 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 be 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.)
WUP - 3
%am
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate
such '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 if
the soil 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 by solids.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on
soils with 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 are not perennial provided adequate
vegetative filter strips are present. (See 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.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or
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 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.
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 wastecontainment 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.

snm
19. 1f 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.
Your facility is designed for 90 days of temporary storage and should
have the temporary storage removed on the average every 3 months. In
no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure
exceed Elevation 20.0.
Call the Natural Resources Conservation Service or Soil and Water
Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis
report to obtain assistance in determining the amount per acre to
apply and the application rate prior to applying the waste.
NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan mast 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.
Narrative of Operation:
This WUP is for a four year rotation using the crops of Sage,
Onions, Peanuts and small grain cover crop for grazing. With the
lagoon on a 90 day pumping cycle, waste can be sprayed anytime during
the 90 days or all at one time depending on the conditions of the
field and crops. This schedule will show which crops to be planted
during the rotation and amount of PAN available for the crop.
Gallons to be sprayed per quarter = 1,540,488 gals
PAN to.be applied per quarter = 3829 lbs.
At the current time this operation has 2664 head of hogs which is
43% of capacity. It has 180 day of storage. Total PAN produced is
6127#. It is recommended to apply waste in the spring and fall. If
waste is applied on sage it would required 51 acres. Apply half at
planting time in September and the other half in March. It would be
best to have a waste analysis to determine the amount of PAN for each
1000 gallons.
Any ditches which the pivots cross will need to be filled in. This WUP
was planned to use the fields where no ditches were, but to get the
required acres ends of some ditches need to be filled in. The end gun
shall be cut off when appling waste.
DO NOT APPLY WASTE OVER DITCHES
WUP - 5
FOR SWINE OPERATION
Addendum to WUP
3/3/97
Inserted into this plan for certification is the Swine Waste
Management Odor control checklist, Insect control checklist, and
Mortality Management Methods checklist which was filled out by the
Manager. Also inserted is the Emergency Action Plan for this
operation.
If additional crops are to be used, this soil type has a realistic
yield for corn of 120 bushels/acre. Apply nitrogen at a maximum rate
of 1.25 pounds per bushels which would be about 150 pounds be acres.
If applied on cotton the realistic yield is 650 pounds. The maximum
amount of nitrogen to be applied is 78 pounds per acre..The
application rate will still remain .50"/hour.
Additional Waste Disposal Specifications
1. 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.
2. Highly visible permanent markers shall be installed to mark
the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping
volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed
to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be
required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage
ponds.
3. Soil tests shall be made every two years and a liquid waste
analysis be taken at least twice each year consistent with waste
utilization plan. Poultry litter shall be tested prior to
application. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for
five years.
4. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets NC
regulations.

Swine Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Chowan County .
Dear Fred Smith:
On March 14, 2003, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) issued an NPDES General
Permit for swine facilities. The General Permit was issued to enable swine facilities in North Carolina to
obtain coverage under a single permit that addresses both State and Federal requirements.
In accordance with your application received on January 31, 2003, we are hereby forwarding to you this
Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Fred Smith, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste
collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with NPDES General Permit
NCA200000. The issuance of this COC supercedes and terminates your COC Number AWS210010 to
operate under State Non -Discharge Permit AWG100000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the A.J. Smith & Sons Inc, located in ChowanCounty, with an animal capacity of
no greater than an annual average of 6216 Feeder to Finish 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 July 1, 2007. 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 General Permit. Since this is a new joint State and
Federal general permit it contains many new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained
in the current State general permit. Enclosed for your convenience is a package containing the new and
revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Pleaseyay careful attention to the record keeping
and monitoring conditions in this nermit. The Devices to Automaticaliv Ston Irrieation Events Form
must be returned to the Division of Water Ouaiity no -later than 120 days following receipt -of the
Certificate of Coverage. The Animal Facility Annual Certification Form must be completed and returned
to the Division of Water Quality by no later than March 1st of each year.

The waste from your animal facility 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 strongly encouraged
so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of
the crops 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 year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils or on land
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 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. Actual acreage
requirements may be more or less and 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 DISPOSAL 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 be 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.)
WUP - 3
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate
such 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 if
the soil 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 by solids.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on
soils with 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 are not perennial provided adequate
vegetative filter strips are present. (See 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.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or
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 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.
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.
WUP -- 4
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, reefs, etc., should be inspected on a
regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance
checklist should be kept on site.
Your facility is designed for 90 days of temporary storage and should
have the temporary storage removed on the average every 3 months. In
no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure
exceed Elevation 20.0.
Call the Natural Resources Conservation Service or Soil and Water
Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis
report to obtain assistance in determining the amount per acre to
apply and the application rate prior to applying the waste.
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.
Narrative of Operation:
This WUP is for a four year rotation using the crops of Sage,
Onions, Peanuts and small grain cover crop for grazing. With the
lagoon on a 90 day pumping cycle, waste can be sprayed anytime during
the 90 days or all at one time depending on the conditions of the
field and crops. This schedule will show which crops to be planted
during the rotation and amount of PAN available for the crop.
Gallons to be sprayed per quarter = 1,540,488 gals
PAN to be applied per quarter = 3829 lbs.
At the current time this operation has 2664 head of hogs which is
43% of capacity. It has 180 day of storage. Total PAN produced is
6127#. It is recommended to apply waste in the spring and fall. If
waste is applied on sage it would required 51 acres. Apply half at
planting time in September and the other half in March. It would be
best to have a waste analysis to determine the amount of PAN for each
1000 gallons.
Any ditches which the pivots cross will need to be filled in. This WUP
was planned to use the fields where no ditches were, but to get the
required acres ends of some ditches need to be filled in. The end gun
shall be cut off when appling waste.
DO NOT APPLY WASTE OVER DITCHES

FOR SWINE OPERATION
Addendum to WUP
3/3/97
Inserted into this plan for certification is the Swine Waste
Management Odor control checklist, Insect control checklist, and
Mortality Management Methods checklist which was filled out by the
Manager. Also inserted is the Emergency Action Plan for this
operation.
If additional crops are to be used, this soil type has a realistic
yield for corn of 120 bushels/acre. Apply nitrogen at a maximum rate
of .1.25 pounds per bushels which would be about 150 pounds be acres.
If applied on cotton the realistic yield is 650 pounds. The maximum
amount of nitrogen to be applied is 78 pounds per acre. The
application rate will still remain .50"/hour.
Additional Waste Disposal Specifications
1. 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.
2. Highly visible permanent markers shall be installed to mark
the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping
volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed
to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be
required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage,
ponds.
3. Soil tests shall be made every two years and a liquid waste
analysis be taken at least twice each year consistent with waste
utilization plan. Poultry litter shall be tested prior to
application. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for
five years.
4. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets NC
regulations.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN AGREEMENT
I (We) understand, will implement and follow the specifications and
the operation and maintenance procedures established in the approved
animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above. I (We) know
that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste
treatment and/or storage system or construction of new facilities will
require a new utilization plan and a new certification to be submitted
to DEM before the new animals are stocked. I (We) also understand
that there must be no discharge of animal waste from this system to
surface waters of the state for any reason except storm events as
severe as the 25--year, 24-hour storm or greater. The DEM regulations
require a copy of the approved plan be filed on -site at the farm
office and at the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation
District and will be available for review by DEM upon request.

This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from
your operation are leaking, overflowing, or running off
site. You should not wait until wastes reach surface waters
or leave your property to consider that you have a problem.,
You should make every effort to ensure that this does not
p
happen. This lan should be posted in an accessible
location for all employees at the facility. The following
are some action items you should take.
1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the
situation, this may or may not be possible. Suggested
responses to some possible problems are listed below.
A. Lagoon overflow -possible solutions are:
a.
Add
soil to berm to increase
elevation of dam.
b.
Pump
wastes to fields at an
acceptable rate.
C.
Stop
all flows to the lagoon
immediately.
d.
Call
a pumping contractor.
e.
Make
sure no surface water is
entering lagoon.
B: Runoff from waste application field -actions
include:
a. Immediately stop waste application.
b. Create a temporary diversion to contain waste.
r C. Incorporate waste to reduce runoff.
d. Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s) that
caused the runoff.
e. Evaluate the application rates for the fields
where runoff occurred.
C: Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinklers -action
include:
a. Stop recycle pump.
b. Stop irrigation pump.
C. Close valves to eliminate further discharge.
F
r
d. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
D: Leakage from flush systems, houses, solid
separators -action include:
a. Stop recycle pump.
b. Stop irrigation pump.
C. Make sure no siphon occurs.
d. Stop all flows in the house, flush systems, or
solid separators.
e. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
E: Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often
this is seepage as opposed to flowing leaks -
possible action:
a. Dig a small well or ditch to catchall seepage,
put in a submersible pump, and pump back to
lagoon.
b. If holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap
or remove animals and fill holes and compact
with a clay type soil.
c. Have a professional evaluate the condition of
the side walls and lagoon bottom as soon as
possible.
2. 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?
d.
Did the spill leave the property?
e.
Does the spill have the potential to reach surface
waters?
f.
could a future rain event cause the spill to reach
surface waters?
t
g.
Are potable water wells in danger (either on or off
of the property)?
h.
How much reached surface waters?
3: Contact appropriate agencies.
a. During normal business hours, call your DWQ
(Division of Water Quality) regional office; Phone
919-1q& — ayQ1 . After hours, emergency number: 919-

Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 21-10
Chowan County
This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRRI, IRR2, DRYI, DRY2, DRY3, SLURI, SLUR2,
SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the
DWQ staff at (919) 733-5083 ext. 571.

You should make every effort to ensure that this does not
happen. This plan should be posted in an accessible
location for all employees at the facility. The following
are some action items you should take.
1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the
situation, this may or may not be possible. Suggested
responses to some possible problems are listed below.
A. Lagoon overflow -possible solutions are:
a. Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam.
b. Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate.
C. Stop all flows to the lagoon immediately.
d. Call a pumping contractor.
e. Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon.
B: Runoff from waste application field -actions
include:
a. Immediately stop waste application.
b. Create a temporary diversion to contain waste.
} C. Incorporate waste to reduce runoff.

C. Make sure no siphon occurs.
d. Stop all flows in the house, flush systems, or
solid separators.
e. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
E: Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. often
this is seepage as opposed to flowing leaks -
possible action:
a. Dig a small well or ditch to catch all seepage,
put in a submersible pump, and pump back to
lagoon.
b. If holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap
or remove animals and fill holes and compact
with a clay type soil.
C. Have a professional evaluate the condition of
the side walls and lagoon bottom as soon as
possible.
2. 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?
d. Did the spill leave the property?
e. Does the spill have the potential to reach surface
waters?
f. Could a future rain event cause the spill to reach

The waste from your animal facility 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 strongly encouraged
so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of
the crops 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. Normallv, waste shall not be
appiiea to Tana eroaing at greater tnan b tons per acre per year.
With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up
to 10 tons per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils or on land
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 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. Actual acreage
requirements may be more or less and 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.

Amount of waste roduced per year
6216 hogs X 927 gals/animal unit/year = 5,762,232 gals/year
60 cattle X 6662 gals/animal unit/year = 399,720 gals/year
TOTAL = 6,161,952 GALS/YEAR
Amount of Nitrogen N roduced er year
6216 hogs X 2.3 lbs N/animal unit/year = 14,297 lbs. N/year
60 cattle X 17 lbs N/animal unit/year = 1020 lbs. N/year
TOTAL = 15,317 lbs N/year
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.
See attached map(s) showing the fields to be used for the utilization

such as commercial fertilizer are applied, they must be accounted for.
Total N must be based on realistic crop 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 waste

WASTE DISPOSAL 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
"Suffers" required by DEM. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard
390 (Interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers.]
5. Odors can be reduced be 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
incorpo►ated 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.)
WUP - 3
gain
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate
such 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 if
the soil 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 by solids.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on
soils with 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 are not perennial provided adequate
vegetative filter strips are present. (See 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.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or
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 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.
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.
WUP - 4
$am
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.
Your facility is designed for 90 days of temporary storage and should
have the temporary storage removed on the average every 3 months. In
no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure
exceed Elevation 20.0.
Call the Natural Resources Conservation service or Soil and Water
Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis
report to obtain assistance in determining the amount per acre to
apply and the application rate prior to applying the waste.
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.
Narrative of Operation:
This WUP is for a four year rotation using the crops of Sage,
Onions, Peanuts and small grain cover crop for grazing. With the
lagoon on a 90 day pumping cycle, waste can be sprayed anytime during
the 90 days or all at one time depending on the conditions of the
field and crops. This schedule will show which crops to be planted
during the rotation and amount of PAN available for the crop.
Gallons to be sprayed per quarter = 1,540,488 gals
PAN to be applied per quarter = 3829 lbs.
At the current time this operation has 2664 head of hogs which is
43% of capacity. It has 180 day of storage. Total PAN produced is
6127#. It'is recommended to apply waste in the spring and fall. If
waste is applied on sage it would required 51 acres. Apply half at
planting time in September and the other half in March. It would be
best to have a waste analysis to determine the amount of PAN for each
1000 gallons.
Any ditches which the pivots cross will need to be filled in. This WUP
was planned to use the fields where no ditches were, but to get the
required acres ends of some ditches need to be filled in. The end gun
shall be cut off when appling waste.
DO NOT APPLY WASTE OVER DITCHES

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN AGREEMENT
I (We) understand, will implement and follow the specifications and
the operation and maintenance procedures established in the approved
animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above. I (We) know
that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste
treatment and/or storage system or construction of new facilities will
require a new utilization plan and a new certification to be submitted
to DEM before the new animals are stocked. I (We) also understand
that there must be no discharge of animal waste from this system to
surface waters of the state for any reason except storm events as
severe as the 25--year, 24-hour storm or greater. The DEM regulations
require a copy of the approved plan be filed on -site at the farm
office and at the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation
District and will be available for review by DEM upon request. .

FOR SWINE OPERATION
Addendum to WUP
3/3/97
Inserted into this plan for certification is the swine Waste
Management odor control checklist, Insect control checklist, and
Mortality Management Methods checklist which was filled out by the
Manager. Also inserted is the Emergency Action Plan for this
operation.
If additional crops are to be used, this soil type has a realistic
yield for corn of 120 bushels/acre. Apply nitrogen at a maximum rate
of 1.25 pounds per bushels which would be about 150 pounds be acres.
If applied on cotton the realistic yield is 650 pounds. The maximum
amount of nitrogen to be applied is 78 pounds per acre. The
application rate will still remain .50"/hour.
Additional Waste Disposal specifications
I. 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.
2. Highly visible permanent markers shall be installed to mark
the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping
volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed
to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be
required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage
ponds.
3. Soil tests shall be made every two years and a liquid waste
analysis be taken at least twice each year consistent with waste
utilization plan. Poultry litter shall be tested prior to
application. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for
five years.
4. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets NC
regulations.

Producer County 6(4wo
The purpose of this plan is to provide guidelines for carrying out the
routine operation and maintenance work needed to keep this swine waste
management system functioning as planned. Routine maintenance is..
considered to be normal good care of the system. Good maintenance adds
to beauty, usefulness, and permanence.
A. Waste Treatment Lagoon (1st & 2nd stages)
The lagoon should be filled at least half full with water before
manure loading begins to nurture bacteria establishment. The
.routine maintenance -of the lagoon involves the following:
1. Maintenance of a vegetative cover on the embankment t3c and.
side slopes:_ �,s«e_ 0� Q4� U�'`� �/ Svc is being
established on these areas. Beginning in 191a and each year
thereafter, the embankment should be fertilized with 900...:
pounder of 1.0--10-10 per acre to maintain a vigorous stand.
2. Control of brush and trees on the embankment. This may be
done by mowing, spraying, or. chopping, or a combination of
all three. This will need to be done at least once each
year and possibly twice in years favorable to heavy growth:.
of vegetation.
Maintenance inspections of the lagoon should be made during the.
initial filling of the lagoon and at least annually. Items to be
checked should include, as a minimum, the following:
1. Waste Inlet Pipes, Overflow Pipes
a. condition of pipes
{1} separation of joints
(2) cracks or breaks -
2. Pool Area
a. undesirable vegetative growth
b. floating or lodged debris
3. Embankment
a. settlement, cracking or "jug" holes
b. side slope stability - slumps or bulges
C. erosion and rodent damage
4. Tt—n-z- far Pump
H. Management and land application of waste nutrients
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 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 and leaching potential. Waste shall not be
applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year.
Do not 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.
Maximum application rates should consider the intake capability of
the particular soils that the waste is applied on. For application
on 4a qC. soils, the maximum application rate
is ,q1- _ inches per hour with cover and inches
per hour bare. Application on
aL— n (crops) is R. go inches
respectively. A soils map showing areas for waste application is
attached.
You should plan time and have appropriate equipment'to apply the
waste in a timely manner. Your facility is designed for qO days
of storage. Therefore, it will need to be pumped every ?—
months. Pumping should begin before liquid reaches elevation �Q.
feet and stop at elevation J'?.& feet.

C_Lear_ino: All trees and brush shall be removed from the
impoundment area before construction is started. The"foundation
of the lagoon shall be cleared of all trees, stumps, roots,
brush, sod, and debris. All stumps and all roots exceeding 1
inch in diameter shall be removed to a minimum depth of 1 foot.
Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. After
clearing is completed the foundation area shall be loosened
thoroughly and roughly leveled, with suitable equipment, before
placement of any embankment material.
Cu o Ir-ench A cutoff trench shall be excavated to a depth of
2_Y inches on the outer perimeter dike of the first and second
stage holes. The cutoff trench shall be backf i I I ed with . C,sy
material. The trench shall be-backfilled in 9 inch layers and
compacted with a sheepsfoot roller with a minimum of 4 passes per
unit width of fill l i f t. If sheepsfoot roller is not used, the
trench shall be backfilled in 4 inch layers and compaction shall
be equivalent to or better than the routing of the hauling and
spreading equipment over the fill in such a manner that every
point on the surface of each layer of fill will be traversed by
not less than one tread track of the loaded equipment traveling
in a direction parallel to the main axis of the fill. All
standing water shall be removed from the trench before
backfilling is started.
Excavation: Topsoil shall be stocked piled separately for later
use. The bottom of the first and second stage holes shall be
excavated as shown on the plans. If any SP or other pervious
material is exposed during excavation, it shall be undercut and
backfilled with a compacted layer of highly plastic (CL or CH)
material approximately 6 inches in thickness. Compaction should
be made with a sheepsfoot roller on the bottom and, where
practicable, the side slopes to decrease the permeability of the
soil.
Dike 99-pr?-tructlon,- The material -placed in the dike shall be free
of sod, roots, stones over six (6) inches in diameter, and other
objectionable materials. a:1,�-((�i materials shall be
used in the dike. Constructio o 'the embankment shall be made
in layers not to exceed 4 inches in thickness. Compaction shall
be equivalent to or better than the.routing of the hauling and
spreading equipment over the fill in such a manner that every
point on the surface of each layer of fill will be traversed by
not less than one tread track of the loaded equipment traveling
In a direction parallel to the main axis of the fill. If pans
are not used, construction of the embankment shall be made in
layers not to exceed 9 inches in thickness and compacted with a
sheepsfoot roller with a minimum of 4 passes per unit width of
fill lift. Construction of the fill shall be undertaken only at
such times that the moisture content of the fill material will
permit a reasonable degree of compaction. Construction of the
dike shall allow an additional /0% for settlement. Stock piled
topsoil shall be spread over top of dike and outside side slopes
for the establishment of vegetation.
,y
4
,ep-Llution Control During Construction: Stripping of dike area
shall be done as needed in a normal sequence of construction.
Use temporary mulch protection on all disturbed areas that are
subject to erosion and will not have substantial additional work
performed for 30 days.
Ve t -ton; Vegetation shall be established on the slopes, dike
top, and all other disturbed areas, except the area that will be
inundated in the first stage, as specified in the plans as soon
as possible after construction. Necessary steps shall be taken
to ensure that a good stand of vegetation is established in a
reasonable amount of time. (approximately acres to be
initially seeded)
Permanent Stake: A permanent stake (creosoted or CCA salt
treated 4"x4" post), marked to indicate high water elevation,
shall be placed in the inside slope at one end of the second
stage hole.
