The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste
is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed
before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant
nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize
the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner:
1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials,
cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but
less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established.
4. 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 DWQ regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor
problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production a
for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or
30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy.
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.

This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change
methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application
methods are not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content
for this type of facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could
allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to
be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must
be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC

This plan does not include commercial fertilizer. The farm should produce adequate plant
available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above.
The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements.
In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen.
In interplanted fields ( i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermuda), forage must be removed
through grazing, hay, and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they
reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a
height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care
should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definately interfere
with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen
being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is
the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to
consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is
recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of
about two inches before drilling for best results.

SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The following table describes the annual nitrogen accumulation rate per animal
in the lagoon sludge
Farm Specifications PANT rlanimal Farm Totall r

The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at
agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to
prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce
approximately 1200 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year will accumulate in the lagoon
sludge based on the rates of accumulation listed above.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 6000 pounds of plant
available nitrogen to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermuda grass hayland at the
rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 20 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge
to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 48 acres of land. Please note that these
are only estimates of the PAN produced and the land required to utilize that PAN. Actual values
may only be determined by sampling the sludge for plant available nitrogen content prior to application
Actual utilization rates will vary with soil type, crop, and realistic yield expectations for the specific
application fields designated for sludge application at time of removal.
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.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the
producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly
irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
"This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount
of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations, the application
amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions.
Your facility is designed for >180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of the
waste stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of
freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment
is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to apply
the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in
determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste.

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.
2 There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an
agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer
does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide
evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity,
allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the
owner of the waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Utilization Plan
when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of
application, recieving crop type, or available land.
3 Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop
yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications for
other nutrients.
4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste
may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 10 tons
per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (See
USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
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 land application field.
6 When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is 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" 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

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste
is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed
before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant
nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize
the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner:
1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials,
cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but
less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established.
4. 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 DWQ regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor
problems.
6. 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 not more than
30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Inj
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.

This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change
methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application
methods are not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content
for this type of facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could
allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to
be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must
be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

This plan does not include commercial fertilizer. The farm should produce adequate plant
available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above.
The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements.
In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen.
In interplanted fields ( i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermuda), forage must be removed
through grazing, hay, and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they
reach a height of six to nine Inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a
height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care
should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definately interfere
with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen
being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is
the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to
consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is
recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of
about two inches before drilling for best results.

SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The following table describes the annual nitrogen accumulation rate per animal
in the lagoon sludge

The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at
agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to
prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce
approximately 1200 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year will accumulate in the lagoon
sludge based on the rates of accumulation listed above.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 6000 pounds of plant
available nitrogen to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermuda grass hayland at the
rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 20 acreas of land, if you apply the sludge
to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 48 acres of land. Please note that these
are only estimates of the PAN produced and the land required to utilize that PAN. Actual values
may only be determined by sampling the sludge for plant available nitrogen content prior to application
Actual utilization rates will vary with soil type, crop, and realistic yield expectations for the specific
application fields designated for sludge application at time of removal.
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.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the
producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly
irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
"This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount
of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations, the application
amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions.
Your facility is designed for >180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of the
waste stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of
freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment
is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to apply
the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in
determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Producer: Brown's of Carolina, Virginia Division
Location: South of Murfreesboro off Rt. 1137 (Creek Farm)
Telephone: [phone]
Type Operation: Farrow to Feeder
Number of Animals: 1200 sows (Design Capacity)
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of
surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the
amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be
applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before
each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be
balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the
fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner.
1, Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content
of the waste, Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potential, cation
exchange capabilities, and available water holding capabilities.
3. Normally, waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less
than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established.
4. 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 DWQ regulations. +
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems.
6. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for
pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days
prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will
conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this
type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your
waste management facility. Attached, you will find information on proper sampling techniques,
preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for -analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out; meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Smithfieid-Carroll's Farm 34 4

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Narrative of Ooeration
This operation is located on CFSA Tract 782, off Rt. 1137 south of Murfreesboro in
Hertford County. The swine operation is farrow to feeder with a design capacity of 1200 active
souws. It is estimated that 4,818,000 gallons of animal waste will be produced annually for land
application. There are 34.27 wet acres of cropland available for land application under the current
irrigation configuration. The waste is land applied to Bermuda Hay/ small grain and Fescue using
towable center pivot irrigation. The waste from the swine houses is stored in an anaerobic
treatment lagoon.
A small grain cover crop is not required to meet nutrient production under this plan. The
owner may choose not to plant small grain cover crop on any or all acreage. It is recommended
that some small grain be planted each year and that fields be rotated into small grain every 2-3
years. This would allow for off-season maintenance to fields as needed. It is to be understood that
should a field not be planted in a cover crop, there should be no application of waste to that
particular field during the application window for the cover crop. And, the nutrient utilization for
small grain cannot be included in that year's total yearly allowance for that field. If waste is applied
to a cover crop, it should be removed as hay or a residual credit applied to the next crop.
This facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage
must be removed on the average of once every 6-MONTHS. In no instance should the volume of
waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation 29.4 ft.
Smithfieid-Carroll's Farm 34

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
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.
2, There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an
agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer
does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide NRCS with a
copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her
the use of the land for waste application. 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 to 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 the DEM. [See FOTG
Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 (Interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers.]
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should
not be applied when the wind is blowing.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on
conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the
waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to
flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in the Technical Reference -
Environment file for guidance.)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff
does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from
the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions conducive
to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when, the
surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not
covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. 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 these soils should be held to a
minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall
not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy.
Smithfield-Carroll's Farm 34

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
11. Animal waste sh0 not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be
reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are
present. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips)
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by
the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands by a
discharge or by overspraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands
provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist".
Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water
courses. Animal waste may be applied at agronomic rates to grassed waterways that do not
discharge directly into water courses provided the application causes no runoff or drift from
the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not
be discharged into the animal waste management system.
17. 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.
18. 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.
19. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct
huan consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption
it should only be applied propellant with no further applications of animal waste during the
crop season.
20. 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 for waste storage ponds. Lagoons and other uncovered waste
containment structures must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate storage
for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard.
21. 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.

(continued)
22. Waste shall be tested within 69 days of utilization and soil shsall 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 soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used
when these metals approach excessive levels. PH shall be adjusted for optimum crop
production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years,
Waste application records shall be maintained for five (5) years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste
is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed
before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant
nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize
the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner:
1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials,
cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but
less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established.
4. 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 DWO regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor
problems.
6. 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 not more than
30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.

This plan does not include commercial fertilizer. The farm should produce adequate plant
available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above.
The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements.
In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen.
In interplanted fields ( I.e. small grain, etc, lnterseeded in bermuda), forage must be removed
through grazing, hay, and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they
reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a
height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care
should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definately interfere
with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen
being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is
the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to
consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to Interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is
recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of
about two inches before drilling for best results.

Additional Comments:
The acreage listed on this amendment is the balance of the total field acreage
minus the wetted acres at this site. The areas not covered by the conventional
irrigation system are being entered into the pumping records as sub fields
so that the acres can be claimed when making application with an Aerway_
machine.

Subject: Notification for Wettable Acre Determination
Animal Waste Management System
Farm 34
Facility Number 46-6
Hertford County
Dear Smithfield Carroll's Farms:
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 7/12/99 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
Mall, 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.

Notification for Wettable Acre Determination
Animal Waste Management System
Page 2
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

U r{;
As a follow up to information forwarded to your office February 9, 2000, concerning
lagoon levels at various Smithfield-Carroll's Farms facilities, I am able to report to you that all
lagoons have been restored to compliance levels. These include Facilities 46-06, 46-09, 46-
11, and 08-10.
Each lagoon within the Washington Region now has, at a minimum, 19 inches of
freeboard. These lagoons were restored to compliance levels by.land application of animal
waste to crops specified in the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). This
included application to small grain and fescue crops (where applicable).
Should you require additional information, I may be reached at the address above or by
telephoning [phone] ext. 160.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Producer: Carroll's Foods of Virginia, Inc.
Location: South of Murfreesboro off of Rte. 1137
Telephone: [phone]
Type Operation: Farrow to Feeder
Number of Anir aft 1200 sows (Design Capacity_
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce
the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be
applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be
analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all
plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize
the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe
manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are
important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potential, cation exchange
capabilities, and available water holding capabilities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land
eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied
to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it
is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to
surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be
considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for
crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a
growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the
waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for
this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from
your waste management facility. Attached, you will find information on proper sampling
techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out; meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Amount of Waste Produced Per Year(eallons, W. tons, etc.)
1200 animals x 4.015 pal (amt.) waste/animal/year = 4,818,000 gal (amt.) waste/year.
Amount of Plant_ Available- NitroQen_(PAN)Produced Per Year
1200 animals x 6.5 lbs. PAN/animal/ — 7�800 lbs. PAN/year.
(PAN from N. C. Tech Guide Std. 633)
Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate
equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown and
surface application:

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

THIS TABLE IS NOT NEEDED IF WASTE IS NOT BEING APPLIED BY IRRIGATION,
HOWEVER A SIMILAR TABLE WILL BE NEEDED FOR DRY LITTER OR SLURRY.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 6 MONTHS. In no instance should the volume
of waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation 29.4 ft. .
Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or
Soil and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for
assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to
applying the waste.
Narrative of Operation: This operation is located off of Rte. 1137 south of Murfreesboro in
Hertford County. The operation is located on CFSA tract 782, The swine operation is farrow to
feeder with a design capacity of 1200 active sows. It is estimated- that 4,818,000 -gallons of
animal waste will be produced annually for land a0plication. There are 47 acres of cro land
available for land_ application. The waste from the swine houses is stored in an anaerobic
treatment lagoon. The waste will be land applied to cropland in a two year/three crop rotation of
corn/small grain/grain sorghum using irrigation. Each year. approximately half of the acreage
will be in cornand the other half will be in small grain/grain sorghum. Before sludge is applied,
samples will be taken to determine its nutrient content. Application rates for the sludge will be
based on the nutrient content of the slud a so that it is applied at agronomic rates.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application.
Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are
subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of
Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues.
2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns
or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. if the
producer does not own adequate land to property dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS
with a copy of a written agreement (sample enclosed) with a landowner who is within a
reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life
expectancy of the production facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to
secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation,
increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not to 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 the OEM. [See FOTG
Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 (interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers.]
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when the wind is blowing.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated
on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the
waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to
flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in the Technical Reference -
Environment file for guidance.)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff
does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from
the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions conducive
to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no more than
20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a
high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a
minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall
not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop on bare soil.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be
reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are
present. (See Standard 393 -Filter Strips)
12, Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned
by the landowner.
14, Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands by a
discharge or by overspraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands
provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist".
Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water
courses. Animal waste may be applied at agronomic rates to grassed waterways that do not
discharge directly into water courses provided the application causes no runoff or drift from
the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not
be discharged into the animal waste management system.
17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum
operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to
the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard.
18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas
(lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be
provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation.
Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc, are limited to areas where
considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon
berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or
discharge.
19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible
for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an
illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
20. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis
to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on
site.

(check which method(s) are being implemented)
Burial three feet beneath the surface of the ground within 24 hours after knowledge of the
death. The burial must be at least 300 feet from any flowing stream of public body of water.
Q/ Rendering at a rendering plant licensed under G.S. 106-168.7.
Complete incineration.
n In the case of dead poultry only, placing in a disposal pit of a size and design approved by the
Department of Agriculture.
0 Any method which is in the professional opinion of the State Veterinarian would make possible
the salvage of part of a dead animal's value without endangering human or animal health.

Swine Waste Collection, Treatment, Storage and
Application System
Hertford County
Dear Smithfield Carroll's Farms:
The Division of Water Quality modified the Swine Waste Operation General Permit originally issued to
this facility on October 13, 1997. In accordance with the issuance of the revised General Permit, we are
forwarding this Certificate of Coverage (COC) to Smithfield Carroll's Farms, authorizing the operation
of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with
General Permit AWG100000. This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but
not limited to, the management of animal waste from the Farm 34, located in Hertford County, with an
animal capacity of no greater than 1200 Farrow to Feeder and the application to land as specified in the
Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP).
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until April 30, 2003, and shall hereby void
COC No AWS460006 dated October 13, 1997, The COC shall hereby incorporate by reference any
specific conditions of the previous COC issued to this facility. The purpose of this COC is to allow
coverage under the revised General Permit. Please review the revised General Permit (enclosed) and pay
particular attention to Condition II.10 regarding tree removal from lagoon embankments, Condition III.1
regarding inspection frequency of the waste treatment, storage and collection system and Condition II1.6
regarding notification requirements for system failures, spills and emergencies. 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, with no discharge of wastes to
surface waters. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and
operational information must be established for this farm. Any increase in waste production greater than
the certified design capacity or increase in number of stocked animals above the number authorized by
this COC will require a modification to the CAWMP and this COC and shall be completed prior to
actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the
General Permit or the CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance
with NCGS 143-215.6A through 143-215.6C including civil penalties, criminal penalties, and injunctive
relief.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Amount of Waste Produced Per Year(gallons, ft3, tons. etc.)
1200 animals x 4,015 gal (amt.) waste/animaVyear = 4,818,000 gal (amt.) waste/year.
Amount of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)Produced Per Year
1200 animals x 6.5 lbs. PAN/animaV — 7,800 lbs. PAN/year.
(PAN from N. C. Tech Guide Std. 633)
Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate
equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown and
surface application:

THiS TABLE IS NOT NEEDED IF WASTE 1S NOT BEING APPLIED BY IRRIGATION,
HOWEVER A SIMILAR TABLE WiLL BE NEEDED FOR DRY LITTER OR SLURRY.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 8 MONTHS. in no instance should the volume
of waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation 29.4 ft. .
Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or
Soil and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for
assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to
applying the waste.
Narrative of Operation: This operation is located off of Rte. 1137 south of Murfreesboro in
Hertford Countv. The operation is located on CFS_A tract 782. The swine operation is farrow to
feeder with a_ design capacity of 1200 active sows. It is estimated that 4,818,000 oallons of
animal waste will be produced annually for land application. There are 47 acres of cropland
available for land application. The waste from the swine houses is stored in an anaerobic
treatment lagoon The waste will be land applied_ to cropland in a two year/three crop rotation of
com/small grain/grain sorghum using irrigation. Each year, approximately half of the acreage
will be in com, and the other half will be in small graingrain sorghum. Before sludge is applied
samples will be taken to determine its nutrient content. Application rates for the sludge will be
based on the nutrient content of the sludge so that it is a lied at agronomic rates.

Dear Mr. Grammer,
On April 7, Operation Reviews were conducted of Carroll's Foods, Inc. Farm 25 & 26, facility
no. 46-11; Farm 31, facility no. 46-09; Farm 34, facility no. 46-06; Farm 40, facility no. 46-07;
and Farm 33 & 35, facility no. 08-10. This Review, undertaken in accordance with G.S. 143-
215.10D, is one of two visits scheduled for all registered livestock operations during the 1997
calendar year. The Division of Water Quality will conduct a second site inspection.
During the Review, it was determined that waste was no being discharged to the waters of
the State, and the animal waste collection, treatment, storage and disposal systems of all the
farms were maintained and operated under the responsible charge of a certified operator.
Copies of the completed review forms are enclosed for your information. The following
observations, questions, and management deficiencies were discovered and noted for
corrective action or response:
General for all farms:
• Records lacked an Operation and Maintenance (0&M) Plan for the waste
management system on -site. The O&M Plan addresses items such as the pool area,
embankments, pipe condition, vegetation maintenance, and outside surface water
control. ,
• Records lacked measurements and calculated volumes for the waste structures on -
site. We feel confident that this information is at your main office; however a copy
should also be on file at the farm and readily available for review.
• Was the acreage documented on the land application field maps and within the
waste utilization plans for total acres or usable (wettable) acres?
• Records lacked Nitrogen balances for land application fields. Again we feel this
information is at your main office and needs to be readily available at the farm.

Farm 25 & 26:
• Farm #25 secondary waste pond lacks sufficient temporary storage as evident
by a water level of-r16-18 inches from the inside top of the lagoon and a
submerged maximum pumping elevation marker. Effluent needs to be land
applied at agronomic rates when weather, soil and cropping conditions permit to
bring effluent to acceptable levels within the structure.
• Foreign materials (plastics, bottles, hypodermic needles, etc.) need to be
removed from Farm #26 lagoon and prevented from entering structures in the
future.
• Is the fifth structure which accepts the effluent from the truck wash down area
properly addressed in the waste utilization plan? We were unable to find this
information and have concerns about the overall hydraulic loading of spray fields.
Farm 31:
• Water is ponding between buildings and will need to be addressed through
Runoff Control (RC) measures.
• Secondary waste pond's south wall needs to be stabilized and vegetated.
Farm 34:
• Minimum pumping elevation marker not installed because Mr. Lane has been
unable to pump down to this level. Marker needs to be installed when conditions
permit.
Farm 40:
• Foreign materials need to be removed and prevented from entering waste
structures.
Secondary waste pond lacks sufficient temporary storage as evident by a water
level of -16-18 inches from the inside top of the lagoon and a submerged
maximum pumping elevation marker. Effluent needs to be land applied at
agronomic rates when weather, soil, and cropping conditions permit to bring
effluent to acceptable levels within the structure.
• The excavated area (where soil was removed and used for construction of the
house pad) and the adjacent disturbed areas need to be stabilized and
vegetated.
Farm 33&35:
• RC measures need to be implemented for ponded water between buildings at
both farms.
• Farm # 33 secondary holding pond lacks sufficient temporary storage as
evident by a water level of -12-14 inches from the inside top of the lagoon and a

Mr. Rudy Grammer

Page 3
submerged maximum pumping elevation marker. Effluent needs to be land
applied at agronomic rates when weather, soil and cropping conditions permit to
bring effluent to acceptable levels within the structure.
• Farm # 33 secondary holding pond's back wall needs shaping and vegetation
to complete work which had been initiated at an earlier date.
• Drainage ditches and waterways around land application site were in the
process of being re -shaped and will need to be stabilized through vegetation
once construction is completed.
During ensuing reviews, these same deficiencies will be re-examined to determine if
corrective actions were implemented.
The Division of Soil and Water Conservation appreciates your cooperation, along with
Alvin Lane and Gary King, with this Operation Review. Please do not hesitate to call
Scott Jones or me at 919/946-6481 if you have any questions, concerns or need
additional information.
