In accordance with your renewal request, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage
(COC) issued to John B McLawhom, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste management
system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
and land application of animal waste as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management
Plan (CAWMP) for Triple M Farms 3, located in Greene County, with a swine animal capacity of no
greater than the following annual averages:
Wean to Finish: Feeder to Finish: Boar/Stud:
Wean to Feeder: 4160 Farrow to Wean: Gilts:
Farrow to Finish: Farrow to Feeder: Other:
If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may be one boar for each 15 sows. Where
boars are unnecessary, 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.
This COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2019, and shall hereby void
Certificate of Coverage Number AWS400126 that was previously issued to this facility. 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 read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit carefully. Please pay careful attention to the
record keeping and monitoring conditions in this permit. Record keeping forms are unchanged with this
General Permit. Please continue to use the same record keeping forms.

Wean to Feeder Swine
Number of Animals : 4160 pigs design capacity
Application Method: irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be
used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where
waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient.
Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly
encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be
grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to
maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an
environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be
grown and the nutrient contents 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 avaialable water holding capacities. Normally
waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With
special pre -cautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per
year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen.
Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under
DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind
odor problems. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the
potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare
ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve
nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on waste application through
irrigation for this is the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you choose
to inject the waste in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for injecting
waste and irrigating waste are not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content
for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report
from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling
techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for ananlysis. This waste
utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 1 bA NCAC
2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Acres show in each of the preceeding tables are considered to be the usable acres
excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and
perimeter areas not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total
acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the
tables.
NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of
sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nurturient rich and will require precautionary
measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility
will produce approximately 316.16 pounds of plant available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the
sludge that will need to be removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when
broadcasting the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well special
equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge.
See the attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of waste water
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of
irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture
content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application
amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of
irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the
Crop.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 5.92 months. In no instance should the volume
of waste being stored in your structure be within 1.7 feet of the top of the dike.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsiblity of the
producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly
irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

PLANS & 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 assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Water Quality 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 to properly dispose of 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 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 Stantard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 Interim Riparian Forest Buffers).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field.
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 NRCS
Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.)
"7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that
runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift
from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions
conducive to odor or flies and to provide uniformity of application.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is
not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with
a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a
minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up'released nutrients. Waste shall
not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of a crop on bare soil.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following:
tha ni ifar norimatar of tha lanri organ nntn whirh uioata is annGorl frnm a lone%nn that is a
Page 6 of 9

component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary
and from any perennial stream or river (other that an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste
other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied
closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (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 landownwer.
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
discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted croplands
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, except when applied at agronomic rates and 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. 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.
*18. 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.
*19. 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.
20. 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 as a preemergence with no other applications of
animal waste during the crop season.
*21. Highly visible 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 fpr waste storage ponds.
22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least
annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -
determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative
crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted

for optimum crop production amd maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept
for five (5) years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3)
years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina Department of
Agriculture regulations. '

The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of
cropland needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements,
and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake.
This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or
other by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each field in
order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is
included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation.

sludge utilization for the indicated accumulation period. These estimates are based on average nitrogen
concentrations for each source, the numberofanimaIs in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application
rates shown in the second column.
Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent. At
clean out, this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases, the
priority nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since
nutrient levels are generally very high, application of sludge must be carefully applied.
Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray fields should not be
used for sludge application. If this is not possible, care should be taken not to load effluent application fields with
high amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water
moving to streams and lakes, phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also
be a concern.

The Available Waste Storage Capacity table provides an estimate ofthe number of days of storage
capacity available at the end of each month of the plan. Available storage capacity is calculated as the
design storage capacity in days minus the number of days of net storage volume accumulated. The start
date is a value entered by the user and is defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in
the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or holding pond is equal to zero.
Available storage capacityshould be greaterthan or equal to zero and less than or equal to the design
storage capacity of the facility. lfthe available storage capacity is greater than the design storage
capacity, this indicates that the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated.
If available storage capacity is negative, the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design
storage volume of the structure. Either of these situations indicates that the planned application interval
in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the structure's temporary storage capacity.

Crop Notes
The following crop note applies to field(s): 413
Corn CP, Organic Soils
In the Coastal Plain, corn is normally planted when soil temperatures reach 52 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit.
Review the Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to select a high
yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Plant 1-2" deep. Plant
populations should be determined by the hybrid being planted. Increase the seeding rate by 10% when
planting no -till. Phosphorus and potassium recommended by a soil test can be broadcast or banded at
planting. When planting early in cool, wet soil, banded phosphorus will be more available to the young
plants. An accepted practice is to apply 20-30 lbs/acre N and 20-30 lbs/acre phosphorus banded as a
starter and one-half the remaining N behind the planter. The rest of the N should be applied about 30-40
days after emergence. The total amount of N is dependent on soil type. When including a starter in the
fertilizer program, the recommended potassium and any additional phosphorus is normally broadcast at
planting. Plant samples can be analyzed during the.growing season to monitor the overall nutrient status
of the corn. Timely management of weeds and insects are essential for corn production.
The following crop note applies to field(s): 4A
Bermudagrass Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, Poorly Drained to Somewhat Poorly Drained.
Adaptation: Effective artificial drainage MUST be in place to achieve Realistic Yield Expectations
provided for these soils.
In the Coastal Plain, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar, I to Mar. 31. Cover sprigs I" to 3"
deep (1.5" optimal). Sprigs should be planted quickly after digging and not allowed to dry in sun and
wind. For Coastal and Tifton 78 piant at least 10 bu/ac in 3' rows, spaced 2' to 3' in the row. Generally a
rate of 30 bu/ac is satisfactory to produce full groundcover in one or two years under good growing
conditions. Tifton 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bu/ac in 1.5' to 2' rows spaced V to 1.5' in row.
For broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus,
potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 100 lb/ac N in
the establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply 180 to 240
Ib/ac N annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts.
Reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization
of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for more information or consult your regional agronomist or
extension agent For assistance.

Fescue: Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, Poorly Drained to Somewhat Poorly Drained.
Adaptation: Moderate to Marginal.
In the Coastal Plain, tall fescue can be planted Sept. 1 to Oct. 15 (best) and Feb. 15 to Mar. 20. For
pure -stand broadcast seedings use 20 to 30 lb/ac., for drilled use 15 to 20 Iblac. seed. Use certified seed
to avoid introducing weeds or annual ryegrass. Plant seed 0.25" to 0.5" deep for pure stands, 0.25" in
mixture with clovers. Tail fescue will tolerate soil wetness but not flooding or prolonged saturation; use
ladino clover for mixtures on these soils. Soil test for preplant and maintenance lime, phosphorus, and
potassium recommendations. Apply 40 to 60 Iblac nitrogen at planting for pure stands only. Do not apply
N for mixtures with clovers but use proper legume inoculation techniques. Apply 150 to 200 Ib/ac. N to
pure -stand fescue for hay production; reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Apply N Feb. 1 to Mar. 20 and
Aug. 20 to Sept. 30, with equal amounts in each window. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305
Production and Utilization of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for additional information or
consult your regional agronomist or extension agent for assistance.
The following crop note applies to field(s): 4A
Small Grain: CP, Mineral Soil, low -leachable
In the Coastal Plain, oats and barley should be planted from October 15-October 30; and rye from
October 15-November 20. For barley, plant 22 seed/drill row foot and increase the seeding rate by 5% for
each week seeding is delayed beyond the optimum time. See the seeding rates table for applicable
seeding rate modifications in the current NCSU "Small Grain Production Guide". Also, increase the
initial seeding rate by at least 10% when planting no -till. Oats should be planted at 2 bushels/acre and
rye at 1-1 1/2 bushels/acre. Plant all these small grains at 1-1 1/2" deep. Adequate depth control is
essential. Review the NCSU Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to
select a high yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Apply no more
than 30 lbs/acre N at planting. Phosphorus and potash recommended by a soil test can also be applied at
this time. The remaining N should be applied during the months of February -March.
The following crop note applies to field(s): 4B
Wheat: Coastal Plain, Organic Soils
1n the Coastal Plain, wheat should be planted from October 20-November 25. Plant 22 seed/dril I row foot
at 1-1 1/2" deep and increase the seeding rate by 5% for each week seeding is delayed beyond the
optimum time. See the seeding rates table for applicable seeding rate modifications in the current NCSU
"Small Grain Production Guide". Also, increase the initial seeding rate by at least 10% when planting
no -till. Adequate depth control when planting the wheat is essential. Review the NCSU Official Variety
"green book" and information from private companies to select a high yielding variety with the
characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Apply no more than 30 lbs/acre N at planting.
Phosphorus and potash recommended by a soil test report can also be applied at this time. The remaining
N should be applied during the months of February -March. The total N is dependent on the soil type.
Plant samples can be analyzed during the growing season to monitor the nutrient status of the wheat.
Timely management of diseases, insects and weeds are essential for profitable wheat production.

Double -Crop Soybeans, Coastal Plain: Organic Soils
Double -crop soybeans should be planted as early in June as possible with planting completed by July 4th.
When no -tilling soybeans in small grain straw, it is essential to manage the straw to achieve adequate
plant populations. Review the NCSU Official Variety "green book" and information from private
companies to select a high yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions.
Plant 2-4 seed/row foot for 7-8" drills; 4-6 seed/row foot for 15" rows; 6-8 seed/row foot for 30" rows
and 8-10 seed/row foot for 36" rows. Increase the seeding rate by at least 10% for no -till planting.
Seeding depth should be 1-1 1/2" and adequate depth control is essential. Phosphorus and potash
recommended for the soybeans can be applied to the wheat in the Fall. For soils such as------- phosphorus
should be applied at planting as phosphorus will leach from these soils. Soybeans produce their own
nitrogen and are normally grown without additions of nitrogen. However, applications of20-30 lbslacre
N are sornetirnes made at planting to promote early growth and vigor. Tissue samples can be analyzed
during the growing season to monitor the overall nutrient status of the soybeans. Timely management of
weeds and insects is essential for profitable double crop soybean production.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service
Tuesday, December 12, 2000
Producer: John & Shea McLawhom
Farm Name : Triple M Far ns
955 Fire Station Road
Hookerton,NC 28538
Telephone # : [phone]
Type of Operation : Wean to Feeder Swine
Number of Animals : 4160 pigs design capacity
Application Method: irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be
used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where
waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient.
Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly
encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be
grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to
maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an
environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be
grown and the nutrient contents 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 avaiaiable water holding capacities. Normally
waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With
special pre -cautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per
year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen.
Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under
DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind
odor problems. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the
potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare
ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve
nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on waste application through
irrigation for this is the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you choose
to inject the waste in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for injecting
waste and irrigating waste are not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content
for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report
from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling
techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for ananlysis. This waste
utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and
perimeter areas not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total
acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the
tables.
NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of
sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nurturient rich and will require precautionary
measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility
will produce approximately 316.16 pounds of plant available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the
sludge that will need to be removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when
broadcasting the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well special
equipment, may be needed when you remove this.sludge.
See the attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of waste water
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of
irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture
content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application
amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of
irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the
crop.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage musf
be removed on the average of once every 5.92 months. In no instance should the volume
of waste being stored in your structure be within 1.7 feet of the top of the dike.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsiblity of the
producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly
irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

PLANS & 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 assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Water Quality 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 to properly dispose of 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 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 Stantard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 Interim Riparian Forest Buffers).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field.
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 NRCS
Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.)
*7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that
runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift
from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions
conducive to odor or flies and to provide uniformity of application.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is
not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with
a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a
minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall
not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of a crop on bare soil.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following:
the nkiter nearimetnr of th* lanri area nntn whirrh wnete is nnnlieri frnm n lannnn thaf is a
Page 6 of 9

component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary
and from any perennial stream or river (other that an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste
other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October T, 1995), shall not be applied
closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (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 landownwer,
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
discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted croplands
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, except when applied at agronomic rates and 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. 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.
*1 S. 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.
*19. 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.
20. 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 as a preemergence with no other applications of
animal waste during the crop season.
*21. Highly visible 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 fpr waste storage ponds.
22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at. least
annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -
determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative
crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted

for optimum crop production amd maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept
for five (5) years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3)
years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina Department of
Agriculture regulations.

Dear John & Shea McLawhorn:
On April 28, 2003, .the North Carolina General Assembly ratified Senate Bill 733 which directs the
Division of Water -Quality (Division) to extend the expiration date of the Swine Waste Operation General
Permit AWG100000. Therefore, the General Permit has been re -issued by the Division to extend the

Wean to Feeder Swine
Number of Animals : 4160 pigs design capacity
Application Method: irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface and/or.groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be
used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where
waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient.
Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly
encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be
grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to
maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an
environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be
grown and the nutrient contents 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 avaialable water holding capacities. Normally
waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With
special pre -cautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per
year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the sufface 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 the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the
potential for pollution, the waste.shouid be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare
ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve
nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on waste application through
irrigation for this is the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you choose
to inject the waste in the future, you need to revise this'plan. Nutrient levels for injecting
waste and irrigating waste are not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content
for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report
from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling
techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for ananlysis. This waste
utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have
appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based n the crop to be grown,

Acres show in each of the preceeding tables are considered to be the usable acres
excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and
perimeter areas not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total
acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the
tables.
NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of
sludge at -agronomic rates. The sludge will be nurturient rich and will require precautionary
measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility
will produce approximately 316.16 pounds of plant available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the
sludge that will need to be removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when
broadcasting the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well special
equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge.
See the attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of waste water
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of
irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture
content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application
amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of
irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the
crop.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 5.92 months. In no instance should the volume
of waste being stored in your structure be within 1.7 feet of the top of the dike.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsiblity of the
producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly
irrigate the acres shown in Tables 'I and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

PLANS & 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 assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Water Quality for every
day the discharge continues.
2. The Feld Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either
owns or has long term access to adequate land to properly dispose of 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 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 Stantard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 Interim Riparian Forest Buffers).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field.
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 NRCS
Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.)
*7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that
runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift
from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions
conducive to odor or flies and to provide uniformity of application.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or,when the
surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is
not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with
a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a
minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up'released nutrients: Waste shall
not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of a crop on bare soil.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following:
tha nj Oar narima+ar of tha lanA area nntr► tathirrh woc+o is annlioA frnrn o Iflnnnn +ho+ is c
I Page 6 of 9

component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary
and from any perennial stream or river (other that an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste
other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied
closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (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 landownwer.
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
discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted croplands
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, except when applied at agronomic rates and 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. 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.
*18. 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.
*19. 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.
20. 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 as a preemergence with no other applications of
animal waste during the crop season.
*21. Highly visible 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 fpr waste storage ponds.
22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least
annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -
determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative
crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted
Page 7 of 9

for optimum crop production amd maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept
for five (5) years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3)
years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina Department of
Agriculture regulations.

Required Specifications
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application.
Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are
subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Water
Quality for every day the discharge continues.
2. (The Field Office_ must have documentation in the design folder that the producer
either owns or has a notarized long term agreement for use of adequate land on
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. Actual yields may be used in lieu of realistic yield tables at the discretion
of the planner.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Animal
waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an
Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If a RMS or ACS is used the soil loss shall be
no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where
runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to 'Buffers" required by
DWQ. ISee F4TG Standard 393 -Filter Strips and Standard 392 - Rip_arian Forest
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when the wind is blowing or any other condition exists which may
cause a danger of drift from the irrigation field.
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 �lelbr guidance.)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that
runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause
drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control
conditions conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.
1

9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is
not damaged by burning or smothering of the plant. This is an important consideration
where swine, poultry or other ammonia rich waste is being surface applied. Surface
broadcast solids or slurries may damage crops if leaf surfaces are matted, Generally
waste should be applied such that no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is
covered. This should not normally be a concern where diluted, low nutrient waste is
irrigated or surface broadcast from a liquids holding structure. Where crops are severely
damaged due to waste application, the plants cannot assimilate the nutrients and
discharge of pollutants to surface waters is likely to occur. The potential for salt damage
from animal waste should also be considered.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with
a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on thse soils should be held to
a minimum and -a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. On
soils with a high potential for leaching, multiple application at lower rates should be used.
To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production &'reduce the potential for
pollution, the waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop
on bare soil, or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve
nutrients.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following:
The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a
component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property
boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal).
Animal waste (other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995,)
shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. (See Standard 393 - Filter
Strips and Standard 392 - Riparian Forest Buffer)
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 over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands
provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist".
Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways which discharge directly into
water courses. If animal waste is to be applied on other grassed waterways, waste shall
be applied at agronomic rates and in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc.,
shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system.
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas
(lagoon/holding pond embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). if needed, special vegetation
shall be provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the
vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to
areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon/holding pond areas should be kept mowed
and accessible. Lagoon/holding pond berms and structures should be inspected regularly
for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge.
2

18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing an "approved closure plan" which will
eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
19. 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.
20. 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.
21. 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.
22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually
at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining
element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites
shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. Soil pH shall be adjusted for
optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept
for five (5) years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3)
years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets NC regulations. North Carolina
General Statute 106-403 requires that dead animals be disposed of within 24 hours in a
manner approved by the state veterinarian.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CERTIFICATION OF APPROVED ANIMAL WASTE MANAGEMMrr PLANS FOR
NEW OR EXPANDED ANIMAL WASTE MXNAGEMENT SYSTEMS SERVING FEEDLOTS
In order to be deemed permitted by the Division of Environmental. Management
(DE10 , the owner of any new or expanded animal waste .. management system•
constructed after January 1:', _ 1994 which is designed to serve greater than or
equal to the animal populations listed below is required to submit a signed
certification forme to OEM before the new animals are.,stocked on the farm -
Pasture operations are exempt from the requirement to be certified.
100 head ce cattle
75 harses
250 swine
1,000 sheep
30,000 bi=dv with a' liquid w-asta systea
The certification must be signed by the owner of the feedlot (and manager if
different from the owner) and by any technical specialist designated by the Sail
and Water Conservation Commission pursuant to 15A NCAC 67 .0001-.0005. A
technical specialist must verify -by an on -site inspection that all applicable
design and construction standards and specifications axe met as installed and
that all applicable operation and maintenance standards and specifications can
be met.
although the actual number of animals at the facility may vary from time to time,
the design capacity of the waste handling system should be used to determine if
a fa_--m is subject to the certification requirement. For example, if the waste
system for a feedlot. is designed to handle 300 hogs but the average population
will be 200 hogs, then the waste management system requires a certification.
This certification is required by regulations governing animal waste manage-ment
systems adopted by the Environmental Management Commission,(MiC)-on December 10,
.1992 (Title 15A NCAC 2H .0217).

On the reverse side of this page is the certification fora which must be
submitted to D>-t before new animals are stocked on the farm. Assistance in
completing the form can be obtained from one of the local agricultural agencies
such as the soil and water conservation district, the USDA -Soil Conservation
Service, or the N.C. Cooperative Extension Service. The form should be sent to:

2. The Permirtee shall designate a certified animal waste management system operator to be
in charge (OTC) of the animal waste management system. The animal waste management
system shall be operated by the OIC or a person under the OTC's supervision.
3. The maximum waste Ievel in lagoons/storage ponds shall. not exceed that specified in the
CAWNIP. At a minimum, maximum waste level for lagoons/storage ponds must not
exceed the level that provides adequate storag4 to contain the 25-year, 24-hour storm
event plus an additional 1 foot of structural freeboard. In addition to the above
requirements, for new and expanding farms with lagoon designs completed after
September 1, 1996, storage must also be provided for the heavy rainfall factor for lagoons
without an outside drainage area.
In the case of Iagoons/storage.ponds in series that are gravity fed, the 25-year,* 24-hour
.stormm' event and/or the heavy rainfall factor storage requirements for the system may be
designed into the Iowest lagoon/storage pond in the system. However, adequate
freeboard must be designed into each of the upper lagoons/storage ponds to allow
sufficient storage to prevent the waste level from raising into the structural freeboard
while the storm water is draining into the lowest lagoon'in the system.

4. Should the DWQ have good reason to believe that any activities conducted pursuant to
this permit may cause or contribute any waste, directly or indirectly, to be intermixed
With the eaters of the State, the DWQ may require any monitoring (including but not
limited to groundwater, surface water, animal waste, sludge, soil and plant tissue)
necessary to determine the source, quantity, quality, and effect of sucb waste upon the
waters of the State. Such monitoring, including its scope, frequency, duration and any
sampling, testing, and reporting systems, shall meet all applicable Environmental
Management Commission requirements. "Good Reason" may be based on the findings of
a related Federal, State, Commission or DENR authorized study or report, or other
evidence sbowing that violations of State water quality standards or other applicable
environmental standards have occurred or may occur.
5. Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this permit, the facility's
CAWNT and/or any COC issued under this permit may subject the Permittee to an
enforcement action by the DWQ in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes and
may include the requirement to obtain an- individual non -discharge permit and/or the
modification of the animal waste management system
6. The issuance of a COC under this permit does not excuse the Permittee from the
obligation to comply with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances (local,
state, and federal).
7. If animal production ceases, the Permittee shall close the lagoons/storage ponds in
accordance with Natural Resource Conservation Service (MRCS) lagoon/storage pond
closure standards or develop and implement an animal waste management plan in
accordance with NRCS standards. Closure shall also include notifying the DWQ and
submittal of the Animal Waste Storage Pond and Lagoon Closure Report Form to DWQ-
Water Quality Section- Non -Discharge Branch within 15 days of completion of closure.
8. The annual permit fee small be paid by the Permittee within thirty (30) days after being
billed by the Division. Failure to pay the fee accordingly constitutes grounds for
revocation of the COC granting coverage under this General Permit.
9. Failure of the Permittee to maintain, in full force and effect, lessee and landowner
agreemenrs which are required in the CAWMP, shall constitute grounds for revocation of
the COC granting coverage under this General Permit.
10. This permit allows for the distribution of, manure up to 4 cubic yards per visit to
individuals for personal use.

--------------------------------
Th i s I agoon 1 s des i gned for waste treatment ( permanent storage ) and
i,�,i► days cif tempcnrary storage. The t i me' requ1 red for the p I anned
f I u i cI I eve I ( permanent and tempLol•ary storage ) to be reached may vary
due to s i to cond i t i ons, weathyer, f i ush i rig operat i ons, and the amount
of fresh water- added to the system.
The des i fined temporary storage cons i sts of 180 days storage for:
( I ) waste from animals and (2) excess ra.infaI I after- evaporati In. Also
i nc l tided i;s storage for- the 25 year - 24 hour storm for the I,.,cat i cin.
The volume if waste generated f r'rlfn a given ' number bf ar, i rna I s will be
fairly coristant throughout the year and f.rom year- to year, but excess
rainfall will vary frorn year to year. The 25 year. ra i nfa I I w i I I not
be a factor to consider in an annuaI pumping cycIe, but this storage
vo 1 urne must a I ways tie ava i 1 ab I e.
A max i murn e I &vat i on I s deterrn i ned i n each, des i on to beg i n
pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from
building(s). If the outlet pipe is not installed at the elevation to
beg i n pump i rig, a permanent marker roust be i nsta I I ed at th i s e I eva.t i on
to indicate when pumping should begin. An eIevation roust be estabIished
to stilp pump i rig to ma i r,ta i n I agoon treatment depth
Pump i rig car, tie started or stepped at any -t-ime between these two
elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as
weather-, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without
runoff -.it- leaching.
Land application of waste water- is recognized as an acceptable
method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set,
center- pivot, guns, and trave I i ng gu'n Irrigation. Care shou.1 d be
taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops.
The following items are to be carried out:
1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment .lagoon be pre -
charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during
start-up. Pre -charging reduces the concentration of the initial
waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should tie
covered with effluent at all times., When precharging is complete,.
flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water' should not
be used for flushing after initial filling.'
Z. The attached waste ut-i I i zat i or, pI an shall be fo I l owed. This
plan reccimmends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment)
before land application.
3. Begin temporary storage pump-r-ut of the Iagoon when fluid Ieve I
reaches the e I evat i on 0.:=, as marked by permanent marker. Stop, pump -
out wrier, the fluid I eve I reaches elevation 4i i.,.:: . This temporary
stor-a.ge, less 25 yr- 24 hir storm, contains 790!:31 .7 cubic feet or-
5:%1f:11.L gaI Ions.

4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is
one (1) |nch and the recommended max|mum app||cat ion rate |s 0.3
inch per hour. Refer to the waste ut|||zat|.on plan for further detai|s.
Keep vegetation on the embankm�nt and areas adjacent to the
lagoon mowed annually. Ve8etation should be ferti ||zed as needed
to maintain a vigorous stand. `
6. Repair 'any eroded areas or, areas damaged by rodents and
establish in ve3etation�

out |ets.
8. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated'boffer around
waste ut(|izat-|un f|e|ds adjacent to perenn|a| streams... Waste wi | |
not be app/|ed |n open d|tches. Do not pump within 200 feet of a
residence or w|thin 100 feet of a well. Waste shall be app|ied in a
manner not to reach other property and public ri3ht-nf-ways.'

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CERTIFICATION OF APPROVED ANIMAL WASTE MANAGEMENT PLANS FOR
NEW OR EXPANDED ANIMAL WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS SERVING FEEDLOTS
In order to be deemed permitted by the Division of Environmental Management
(DEM), the owner of any new or expanded 'animal waste"management system.
constructed after January 1.':.1994 which is designed to serve greater than or
equal to the animal populations listed below is required to submit a signed
certification forme to DEZI rsforh the new animals are_xtocked on the fa-rm.
Pasture operations are exeznpt from the requirement to he certified.
100 head of cattle
75 hornea
250 swine
1,000 sheep
30,000 biwdx with a liquid want■ syatam
The certification must be signed by the owner of the feedlot (and manager if
different from the owner) and by any technical specialist designated by the Soil
aid Water Conservation Commission pursuant to 15A NCAC 6F .0001-.0005. ..A
technical specialist must verify by an on -site inspection that all apolicalile
design and construction standards and specifications are met as installed and
that all applicable operation and maintenance standards and specifications can
be met.
Although the actual number of animals at the facility may vary frondtime to time,
the design capacity of the waste handling system should be used to determine if
a far-.n is' subject to the certification requirement. For example, if the waste
system for a feedlot. is designed to handle 300 hogs' but the- average population
will be 200 hogs, then the waste management system requires a certification.
This certification is required by regulations governing animal waste management
systems adopted by the Environmental Management Commission' (EgC)•on December 10,
1992 (Title 15A NCAC 2H' .0217) .

On the _reverse side of this page is the certification form which must be
submitted to DEFS before new animals are stocked on the farm. Assistance i-n
completing the form can be obtained from one of the local agricultural agencies
such as the soil and water conservation district, the USDA -Soil. Conservation
Service, or the N.C. Cooperative Extension Service. The form should be sent to:

Required Specifications .
L Animal waste shall'notreach 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 Water
Quality -for every day the discharge continues.

' iAliu j..
3.: Animal waste �shall,be applied to meet, but `riot exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic
crop yields.basedion soil type, available, moisture 'lustofcal data,.climate conditions, and
',; leyel of management, unless. there are regulations that ie'strici vthe�rate-of application for
other nutrients. Actual yields may be used iri•lieu'bf'i6listic:yield`tables at the discretion
of the planner. : s
4. Animal waste, shall,be-applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Animal
waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Manageinent'Syster (RMS) or an
-Alternative Conservation, System (ACS). If a RMS or ACS is used the soil loss shall be
no greater than 10 `tons per acre per year and appropriate filter=strips will be used where
runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in•addi6ri,ib'k'Buffers" required by
DWQ. Me FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 392 - Riparian Forest
Odors can.be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after -waste application. Waste
should not,be applied when the wind is blowingor any -other condition exists which may
cause a danger of drift from the irrigation; field.
6., When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding; it iAill'be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied'to'con eivation tilled crops
or'grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided. the application,does,not occur during a
seasonprone to_flooding.. (See "Weather and Climaie'in-Word Carolina" in the
Technical Reference -Environment file for.guidance)
7' Liquid waste shall be'applied'at rates not to exceed the!soil infiltration rate'such that
n iioff does not occur offsite or to surface waters.and i.nn method ,% ich does not cause
drift from the site during application. No ponding should occurinVMe`r to control
conditions`conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformit':of application.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils ,'-dunng iainfall`events, or when the
surface is frozen.

� w
18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing an "approved closure plan" which will
eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
19. 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.
20. 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.
21. 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.
22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually
at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining
element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites
shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. Soil pH shall be adjusted for
optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept
for five (5) years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3)
years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets NC regulations. North Carolina
General Statute 106403 requires that dead animals be disposed of within 24 hours in a
manner approved by the state veterinarian.

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

i
r
J

• if holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals
and fill holes and compact with a clay type soil.
• other holes may be likewise temporarily plugged with clay soil.
Note: For permanent repair measures, lagoon problems require the
. consultation of an individual experienced in their design and installation.
Z) 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 ir, ury, fish Idils, or property damage?
3) Contact appropriate agencies.
a) During normal business hours, call your DWQ regional -office: (919) 9"- 11 after
hours, emergency number: 1-800-858-0368, Your phone call.should include: your
name, facility, telephone number, the details of the incident, the exact location of the
facility, and the location or direction of movement of the spill; weather and wind
conditions, what corrective measures have been taken, and the seriousness of the situation.
b) If the spill leaves the property or enters surface waters, call the local EMS:
74 - .
c) Instruct EMS to contact the local Health Department: 4 - 1
d) Contact CES: 747=
local MRCS office: 47-370
and your integrator:
4) Implement procedures as advised by DWQ and technical assistance agencies to rectify the
damage, repair the system, and reassess the waste management plan to keep problems with
release of wastes from happening again.
5) Contact contract pumping and/or irrigation equipment. companies:

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE FLAN
------------------------------
This Lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) and
180 days of temporary storage. The t i me' requ i r-ed for the p.l anned
fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be reached may vary
due to site conditions', weather-, flushing operations, and the amount
r4f fresh water- added to the system.
The .designed temporary sty-irage consists of 1:30 -jays storage for--
( 1 ) waste frorn anima I s and (2) e: cess F-a i nfa I I after- evapor-a.t i on. A I so
i nc I tided i s storage for- the 25 year - :214 hour- storm for the I ocat i on.
The volume of waste generated from a given number- 6f animals w i I I be
fairly constant througl-lout tl"ae year and from year to year, but excess
rainfaI I wi I I vary from year to year. The 25 year rainfall will not
be a fact�.r to cans i der- i n an annual pump i rig cyc I e, but th i s storage
vri I ume must a I ways be ava i I ab I e.
A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin
purnp i ng and this is usually the nutlet invert of pipe (s) froom
buiIdirig (s). If the outlet F-ipe is not instalI.ed at the elevation to
begin pumping, ' a permanent marker roust tie instal led at this e l evat i on
to i rod i cate when pumping shoo I d begin. An e I evat i on roust tie estab I i shied
to stop pumping to maintain lagoon treatment depth.
Pump i rig car, toe started or stopped at any -t-ime between these two
elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as
weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order- to apply waste without
runoff or leaching.
Land application of waste water- is recognized as an acceptable
method cif disposaI. Methods of appiication include solid set, -
center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be
taken when applying waste to prevent' damage tij crops.
The following items are to be carried out:
1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre -
charged to 1/2 its capacity to* prevent excessive odors during
start-up. Pre -charging reduces the concentration of .the initial
waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should tie
covered with effluent at all times.. When pr-echarging is complete,
flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not
be used for flushing after initial fi I I ing.
z. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This
plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment)
before land application.
. Begin temporary storage pump -._gut if the lagoon when fluid level
reaches the elevation FU.3 as ma.r+:ed by permanent marker. Stup pump-

Dear John & Shea McLawhorn:
The Non -Discharge Permitting Unit has completed a preliminary engineering review of the subject application. Additional
information is required before we can continue our review. Please address the following by November 29, 2000:
The irrigation parameters were not listed in your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP). Irrigation events are to be
listed in the WUP as the maximum application allowable for that soil type from the time the pumps are
turned on until the time they are shut off. It is currently recommended that total application amounts not
exceed one inch in any application event for any soil type. If your application rates need to be adjusted for
the application of animal waste, please have your Technical Specialist revise your WUP to reflect the
appropriate application amount per event: If the rates exceed the recommended one inch, please have your
Technical Specialist justify the increased application rate in the narrative of your WUP.
2. The Sixth Guidance Memorandum to Technical Specialist dated August 18, 1997 states that only 50 pounds
of nitrogen per acre should be applied to small grain overseeded into Bermuda grass. Current guidance
allows for 100 pounds of nitrogen per acre under strict management practices as mentioned in the memo
included with this letter. These strict management practices include revising the application window
currently listed in your WUP for Small Grain (graze) to September 15-October 30 and from April -May as
well as for Bermuda Grass (graze) to March -August 31. Please have your technical specialist reduce the
nitrogen rate on the winter annuals to 50 pounds per acre and make available more acreage or incorporate
the attached management practices into the WUP narrative for the application of 100 pounds of nitrogen per
acre and revise the application windows.
Please note that all WUP revisions must be signed and dated by both the owner and the technical specialist. Please
reference the subject permit application number when providing the requested information. All information should be signed,
sealed, and submitted in duplicate to my attention at the address below. The information requested by this letter must be
submitted on or before November 29, 2000 or the Division will return your application as incomplete in accordance with 15A
N.C.A.C. 2H .0200 and your facility will be considered to be operating without a permit.
Please be advised that operation of the subject animal waste management system without a valid permit is a violation of North
Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and will subject you to the enforcement authority of the Environmental Management
Commission.

Memorandum
TO: North Carolina Certified Technical Specialists
FROM: Dr. Jim Green, Chairman
NC State University Forage roduction Workgroup
DATE: June 29, 1998
SUBJECT: Crop Management Practices for Select Forages
Used in Waste Management
The following is a four -page summary of suggestions for management practices for some
forage crops that can be used in waste management plans. These suggestions are a result of
discussions within the NC State University Forage Production Workgroup, a group comprised
of NC State faculty and NRCS agency personnel with expertise with the crops.
There are limited documented research responses of some of these practices on the many soils
and environments where these crops are currently being grown. The Forage Production
Workgroup has taken the available data and used the combined experiences and realistic
estim= Les of key people to corm up with suggestions that will allow farmers to incorporate
these crops and practices into waste management plans. As data become available to
substantiate or refute these suggestions, the Forage Production Workgroup will make
appropriate changes.
Bermuda Overseeded Rath Cereal Rye and Annual Ryegrtrss
Cuzently two types of `ryegrass" are being used for winter overseeding in fields used for
animal waste management. Cereal rve is a winter annual smallgrain that looks similar to
wheat, barley and oats. Annual rveerass is a winter annual grass that looks much like tall
f=ue. Both of these grasses, when growing during the winter on bermuda sod, can have
significant impact on subsequent bermuda yields. In effect, the total yields from an acre
growing the combination of bermuda with these winter annuals will usually yield between 1-2
tons more per acre than bermuda.-growing alone for the year. Therefore, the total amount of
PAN /acre for the year is about 100 lbs more than for bermuda alone. Although cereal rye and
annual ryegrass are suitable crops for overseeding, the management of the crops are different
and thus practices implemented are dependent on the crop selected.

Cereal Rye
The cereal rye should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter
growth. The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling rye into short (less than 3
inches tall) bermudagrass sod. if drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short
bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate
for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last
application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior to August 31. An
application of 50 lbs/acre of Plant Available N (PAN) may be applied between September 15
and October 30. An additional 50 lbs/acre of PAN may be applied in February -March. If rye
growth is harvested on time and does not significantly shade the Bermuda, PAN'rates for the
subsequent bernwda crop are based on realistic yields of bermuda. A harvest is required prior
to heading or April 7, which ever comes first. This is necessary to minimize the potential for
shading bermuda and reducing its yields. The PAN rate for grazed systems with bermuda
overseeded with cereal rye must be reduced in accordance with NRCS , Technical
Standard 7#590.
Annual Ryegrass
Annual ryegrass should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter
growth. The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling ryeQrass into short .(less than 3
inches tall) berm, udagrass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short
bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The steding rate
for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 times the. rate for drilled seeds. The last
application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior to August 31. An
application of 50 lbs/acre of (PA.ND may be applied between September 15 and October 30.
An additional 50 lbs/acre of. PAN may be applied in February -March. If additional PAN is
applied to the ryegrass in April -May, the PAN rate for the bermuda must be reduced by a
corresponding amount. This is necessary lr..cause ryegrass growth during April -May will
reduce bermuda yields and shorten the time bermuda can fully utiiize.the N. A harvest is
required by heading or April 7, which ever comes first to prevent_ shading of emerging
bermuda during April -May period. To favor the production of the bermuda, additional
harvests of ryegrass will be required when the ryegrass canopy reaches 12 to 15 inches height.
The PAN rate for grazed systems with Bermuda overseeded with annual ryezrass must be
reduced in accordance with NRCS Technical Standard #590.

Eastern Gamagrass
Limited data are available on the response of gamagrass to various levels of N and soil types
in North Carolina. However, until further data is collected, the following guidelines may
be used.
1. On sandy textured soils that are well drain or excessively well drained, gamagrass may
yield similar to hybrid bermudagrass at similar PAN rates.
2. On heavy textured soils that are poorly to somewhat poorly drained, gamagrass may yield
1.5-3 times more than hybrid bermuda.
Gamagrass establishes slowly and will not usually produce much harvestable forage during
the establishment year. It is best to allow the growth during the seedling year to accumulate
for most or all season; if it is to be harvested, it should be done after full seedhead formation
on'a majority of the plants. Therefore, PAN for the seedling year should be modified
accordingly. Overseeding gamagrass with winter annuals is not currently advised because the
harvesting or grazing management of the winter annual crops during February -April would be
detrimental to the survival of gamagrass. Gamagrass should not normally be harvested or
grazed below 6-8 inches stubble.
Application rates are to be based on the realistic N rates that address the N needs per ton of
hay, a realistic yield and an appropriate application window. When harvested as hay in the 24-
36 inch stage of growth, the N rate ranges from 40-50 lbshon of dry matter. The PAN rate for
grazed systems mast be reduced in accordance with NRCS Technical Standard r590.
The application window for gamagrass is slightly earlier than for bermuda; gamagrass starts
growing about 3-4 weeks earlier than Coastal bermudagrass and about 2-3 weeks earlier than
Tifton 44. Gamagrass is dormant from frost to March. The last application of PAN in the
summer should be prior to August 31.
R escu egrass (Le. Matua) -
Rescue_grass is a cool season grass and makes most of its growth from March -June and
September -November. It should receive most of its N during the September -October and late
February through May months. Limited data are available for realistic yields of rescuegrass
on various soils and at various N levels in North Carolina. However, until further data is
collected the following suggestions may be usefuL
1. On sandy, well drained to excessively drained soils, rescuegrass may yield 1.5- 3 times
fescue, assuming a uniform and dense stand of grass is present.

2. On wet or poorly drained soils, rescuegrass may yield .75 -1.0 times as much as fescue.
3. On soils where both are well adapted the yields of rescuegrass may be 1-1.5 times more
than fescue.
The above RYE estimates assume that stand density is maintained through natural reseeding
every year. Although rescuegrass is a "perennial" it does not maintain dense, satisfactory
stands unless it is allowed to reseed every year. Even under this management it is likely that
disease will affect one or more growths in some years.
Application rates are to be based on. the realistic N rates that address the N needs per ton of
hay, a realistic yield and an appropriate application window. When harvested as hay, the N
rate is similar to other cool season grasses such as fescue, ranging from 40-50 lbs/ton.
Reccuegrass may also continue some growth in June -August if moisture is available. During
these off-seasons, rescuegrass should not receive more than about 25 lbs N/acre/month. Only
apply 25 lbs N/acre in June -August if the equivalent of 1-inch of water can be applied at the
same time. if the crop does not respond with at least a 1000 lbs of growth within a 3-5 week
period do not make another application until the plants have had the opportunity to use the
previous application.

Application Method:
irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be
used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where
waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient.
Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly
encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be
grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to
maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an
environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be
grown and the nutrient contents 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 avaialable water holding capacities. Normally
waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With
special pre -cautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per
year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen.
Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under
DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind
odor problems. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the
potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare
ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve
nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on waste application through
irrigation for this is the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you choose
to inject the waste in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for injecting
waste and irrigating waste are not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content
for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report
from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling
techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for ananlysis. This waste
utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 'i 5A NCAC
21-1.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge.
See the attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of waste water
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of
irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture
content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application
amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of
irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the
crop.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 5.92 months. In no instance should the volume
of waste being stared in your structure be within 1.7 feet of the top of the dike.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsiblity of the
producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly
irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

PLANS & 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 assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Water Quality 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 to properly dispose of 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 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 DBM. (See
FOTG Stantard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 Interim Riparian Forest Buffers).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field.
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 NRCS
Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.)
*7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that
runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift
from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions
conducive to odor or flies and to provide uniformity of application.
8. Animai waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is
not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with
a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a
minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall
not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of a crop on bare soil.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following:
the nt Oar norimofor of the lanel aroo nnfn which %aiacfe ie onnliorl from a lannnn thaf is a
Page 8 of 9

component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary
and from any perennial stream or river (other that an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste
other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied
closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (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 landownwer.
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
discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted croplands
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, except when applied at agronomic rates and 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. 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.
*18. 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.
*19. 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.
20. 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 as a preemergence with no other applications of
animal waste during the crop season.
*21. Highly visible 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 fpr waste storage ponds.
22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least
annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -
determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative
crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted
Page 7 of 9

for optimum crop production amd maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept
for five (5) years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3)
years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina Department of
Agriculture regulations.

Dear John & Shea McLawhorn:
The Non -Discharge Permitting Unit has completed a preliminary engineering review of the subject application. Additional
information is required before we can continue our review. Please address the hollowing by January 17, 2001:
When utilizing soybeans in a crop rotation, residual nitrogen should be accounted for in the next crop. It
appears that the nitrogen residual from soybeans is not accounted for in the Waste Utilization Plan (WUP)
submitted. Please contact your technical specialist to review your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) and revise
the WUP to account for residual nitrogen from soybeans, if necessary.
2. The WUP submitted calculates the amount of nitrogen produced in one year. However, it appears that the
WUP uses a two-year crop rotation. Your WUP should be revised so that the nitrogen produced and the
nitrogen utilized by crops is calculated for the same time period. Some options for revising the WUP
include: calculating the amount of nitrogen produced for a two-year period of time, revising your WUP to
show waste utilization for Year One and Year Two of the two-year rotation in separate tables, or showing a
two- year crop rotation with corn and soybeans on half the acreage from each field.
The application window for soybeans is identified as September to April in the WUP, however it is
recommended that the application time for soybeans be April to September. Please have your technical
specialist revise the application time for soybeans.
Please note that all WUP revisions must be signed and dated by both the owner and the technical specialist. Please
reference the subject permit application number when providing the requested information. All information should be signed,
sealed, and submitted in duplicate to my attention at the address below. The information requested by this letter must be
submitted on or before January 17, 2001 or the Division will return your application as incomplete in accordance with 15A
N.C.A.C. 2H .0200 and your facility will be considered to be operating without a permit.
Please be advised that operation of the subject animal waste management system without a valid permit is a violation of North
Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and will subject you to the enforcement authority of the Environmental Management
Commission.

Facility Number 40-126
Greene County
Dear John McLawhorn:
A letter dated January 15, 1999 was sent to advise you about concerns associated with Certified Animal
Waste Management Plans and the method by which the irrigated acres within the plans were calculated. Only
the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application. Any
acreage within the plan that can not be reached by waste application equipment can not be used as part of your
plan. -
An evaluation by Pat Hooper on 4/13/99 was made to review the actual number of acres at your facility
that receive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of the
following two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X".
Category 1:
❑ The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please
contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Pat Hooper the necessary
information to potentially exempt your -facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre
determination. Please submit this information to Pat Hooper, at 943 Washington Square
Mail, Washington, NC 27889, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you have any
questions please contact Pat Hooper at [phone]. If within 90 days you are unable
to provide Pat Hooper with the information you are automatically required to
complete a Wettable Acre Determination as described by Category 2 below, within
180 days of receipt of this letter.

Category 2:
Your facility has been identified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
as a facility that may have overestimated the number of acres actually receiving animal
waste. Therefore, some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates
set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him
or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must
be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct
Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension
Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation
Service, and the" Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special
designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this
designation, or a Professional Engineer.
All needed modifications'to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and
the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be returned to DWQ within the next
180 days. If the needed modifications are not made and if the form is not returned within the
required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility
into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation,
and/or injunctive relief.
Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable
Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please
note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all
the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan
must be kept at your facility. DWQ and the Division of Soil & Water Conservation Staff will
review all documentation during their annual visit of your facility. An additional copy must by
kept on file at the local Soil & Water Conservation District Office. Please note that if you install
or modify your irrigation system, a designated Irrigation Specialist or a Professional Engineer
must also sign the Wettable Acre Determination Certification.
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 Sonya Avant of our

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 40-126
Greene 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. 1RRl, IRR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR1, SLUR2,
SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the

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