NUMBER OF ANIMALS: 2,600
(Design Capacity)
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of
surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the
amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This
waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each
application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced
for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the
fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always
apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not
apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration
rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally
waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special
precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per 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 NCDENR 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 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 is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in
the future, you need to revise your 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.

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.

Application of Waste by Irrigation
Field Soil Type Crop Application Application
No. Rate in/hr Amount (in.)'
Field 1 Goldsboro Pearl Millet/Cereal G/R a 0.5 1.0
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 waster 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 tables. 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 the optimum soil conditions.
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.
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.

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 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 application, receiving crop type, 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, climatic conditions, and level of
management, unless there are regulations that - restrict the rate of application 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 that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year
providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard
393 - Filter Strip).
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" 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 odor or flies.
8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface -
Is frozen.

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon
'embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced as necessary to protect the
vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to
areas where considefed appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible.
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.
Waste handling structures, piping pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to
19 prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site.
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 pre -plant with no further applications of animal waste
20 during the crop season.
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.
21
Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least once every
three years at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -
determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied based on other
nutrients, resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. 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.
22 Records shall be kept for at least three (3) years for state general permits. Poultry dry waste
application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Records shall be kept for at least
five (5) years for NPDES permits. 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 regulations.

Crop Notes
The following crop note applies to iaeld(s,
Cereal/Annual Rye Overseeded — Grazed
CEREAL RYE
The cereal rye should be planted by October 15 to provide the (rest opportunity to get winter growth. The
most consistent stands are obtained from drilling rye -innto 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 fos drilled seeds. The last application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda
prior to August 31. An application of 50 Ibs/acre of Plant Available N (PAIN) may, beapplied 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 bermuda crop are based on realistic yields of bermuda. A harvest is required prior to heading
or April 7, which ever comes fist. This is necessary to minimize the potential for shading bermuda and
reducing its yields. The PAIN rate for grazed systems with bermuda overseeded with cereal rye must be
reduced by 25%.
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 ryegrass into short (less than 3 inches tall)
bermudagrass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short bermuda sod follmved
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 io August 3I . An application of 50 lbs/acre of PAN may be applied between September
15 and October 30. An additional 50 Ibs. acre of PANN may be applied in February -Much- If vNitionai
PAIN is applied to tine ryegrass in April -May, the PAN rate for lire bermuda muse bee reduced by a
corresponding amount. This is nec essuy because ryegrass grow& during April -Ray will reduce
,bermuda yields and shorten the time bermuda can fully utilize the W. A harvest is required by heading or
April 7, which ever comes first to prevent shading of emer&g bermuda doming April-Nfxf period. To
favor the production of the bermuda, additional harrrests of ryegrass will be required when the ryegrass
canopy reaches 12 to 15 inches height. The PAN rate for grazed systems wide berme& overseeded with
annual ryegrass must he reduced by 25%.
