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. if carried out, -meets the requirements 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental JAN - 4 2007 WUP - 1 INASHINGTON REGIONA, OFFICE NO v GRIM Amount of waste produced 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) produced per year 6216 hogs X 2.3 lbs N/animal unit/year = 14,297 lbs.

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: Table 1: ACRES OWNED BY PRODUCER Tract Field Soil Crop Real. Lbs. N Acres Lbs.

If nutrients from other sources 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 utilization plan only addresses Nitrogen.

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. WUP - 4 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.

Smith & Sons Inc 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 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.

If nutrients from other sources 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 utilization plan only addresses Nitrogen.

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 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.

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.

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. WUP - 1 MIN 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 of animal waste. The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to grown and method of application: Table 1: ACRES OWNED BY PRODUCER Tract Field Soil Crop Real. Lbs. N Acres Lbs.

If nutrients from other sources 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 utilization Alan only addresses Nitrogen.

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.

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. I MOM am'WI. 1/� 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. d i 0 �,i:;,�.1;.Y.t1�,��J'.�j•Z,r1 ....,�1�.
