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.

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 capacity should be greaterthan or equal to zero and less than or equal to the design storage capacity of the facility. If the 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.

These estimates are based on average nitrogen concentrations for each source, the number of animals 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 betaken 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.

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 that 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, helshe 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 Management 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 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, MRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disldng after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land application field. b. 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). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------- 196W Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 6/13/2012 Specification Page 1 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 and flies. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the soil 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. Nutrients from waste shaft not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Wastelnutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shaft not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 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 canal.

Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shaft 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- 196W Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 611312012 Specification Page 2 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 cropland provided the fields have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates 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 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 considered 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. 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 pre -plant with no further 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 for waste storage ponds. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------.------------- 196644 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed. 6A 2012 Specification Page 3 22.

We arrived on the farm around 1220 and met Mr. John Peterson. He was not spraying we when arrived. He said he started pumping around 1000 and stopped around 1100r.when the rain looked like it was going to continue. No evidence'of waste in ditches leaving the farm. Waste was ponded on the fields but I -did not make a big deal of this since he had just stop pumping. There is a significant leak at the Z-pipe connection for the pump. I told him that this needs to be addressed (fixed). Also, I expect we will be called out again because of how the conversation with Mr. Peterson went. The complaint before this one was about spraying when it was to wet. I am not planning to schedule any Premium Standard Farms within the next week. I had a call from a Carroll's farm in which I need to do a visit today. I let you know when I can try to schedule again.

This review, undertaken in accordance with G.S. 143-215.1 OD, was one of two routine site visits scheduled for all subject animal operations in 2001. Staff from the Division of Water Quality will conduct a separate compliance inspection. During the operation review, the following items were noted for corrective action: • The Animal Waste Management Plan for this farm needs to be revised. The current plan has Fescue as a receiving crop for waste application. Fescue was not present on any of the farm's fields designated in the Animal Waste Management Plan to receive animal waste and Mr. Peterson relayed that he does not want to grow Fescue. The waste plan must be revised to show the current crop or crops receiving animal waste. Please contact a Technical Specialist for assistance. Pender Soil and Water Conservation District can provide you with assistance. • Watha Farm has an irrigation design based on the former owner's irrigation reel. Mr. Peterson needs to secure a wettable acre determination to ensure the correct acreage is receiving waste based on his current irrigation reel. Please contact a Technical Specialist for assistance. Pender Soil and Water Conservation District can provide you with assistance. • Outlet pipes from hog houses extending into the lagoon need to be lengthen to prevent erosion of the inner wall of the lagoon dike. A final copy of the operation review report is enclosed for your information. Site findings and recommended corrective actions as discussed are noted in the comment sections. 127 Cardinal Dore Ext., Wilmington, North Carolina 28405 Telephone 910-395.3900 FAX 910450-M An Equal Opportunity A$'umative Action Employer 50% mcycled/10% post -consumer paper Mr. James Peterson June 26, 2001 Page 2 On behalf of the Division of Soil and Water Conservation, I appreciate your cooperation with this operation review.

This Nutrient Management Plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are required so that all plant nutrient requirements can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in -implementing this plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Factors included are: a. Always apply waste based on crop needs and the nutrient content of the waste. b. Do not over apply nitrogen. c. Soil types are important because of different Infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and water holding capacities. , d. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the ground is frozen either of which could lead to surface runoff. e. Consider wind conditions to avoid drift and down wind odor problems. f. Waste can only be applied to actively growing crops or not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or to forages breaking dormancy. This plan is based on waste being applied using irrigation. If the application method is changed, this plan will have to be revised because nutrient content varies depending on how it is applied. �. The estimated acres needed to apply the waste as described above is based on average analyses for this type facility. Actual acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis.report from your facility. This nutrient management plan, if followed, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 21-1.0217, as adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

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. IRR1, IRR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR], SLUR2, SLDI, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an appropriate enforcement action. Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or liability -for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting requirement. If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the DWQ staff at (919) 733-5083 ext. 571. /Z� cc: Wilmington Regional Office Pender County Soil and Water Conservation District Facility File Sincere , Kerr T.

It is especially important to manage levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and wet periods. Maximum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the receiving crop is dormant (such as wintertime for bermuda grass) or when there are extended rainy spells such as the thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means that at the first signs of plant growth in the later winter/early spring, irrigation according to a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the land is dry enough to receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet periods. In the late surmmerlearly fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the low marker to allow for winter storage. Every effort should be made to maintain the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as long as the weather and waste utilization plan will allow it. Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before starting to irrigate does not leave room for storing excess water during extended wet periods. Overflow from the lagoon for any reason except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of state law and subject to penalty action. The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following: Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam. Fescue or common bermuda grass are the most common vegetative covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year, if needed, to maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fertilizer applied should be based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not practical to obtain a soils test each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas should be fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or equivalent. Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may be done by mowing, spraying, grazing, chopping, or a combination of these practices. This should be done at least once a year and possibly twice in years that weather conditions are favorable for heavy vegetative growth. NOTE: If vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to enter the lagoon water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating the waste. Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of the lagoon and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. Items to be checked should include, as a minimum, the following: Operation & Maintenance Plan Page -2- Waste Inlet'Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes -look for: 1. separation of joints 2. cracks or breaks 3. accumulation of salts or minerals 4. overall condition of pipes Lagoon surface -look for 1. undesirable vegetative growth 2. floating or lodged debris Embankment -look for 1. settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes 2. side slope stability --slumps or bulges 3. wet or damp areas on the back slope 4. erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result of wave action 5. rodent damage Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon dam. A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action. If wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffles in the lagoon may be used to reduce the wave impacts. Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam. If your lagoon has any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with design and construction of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary fix if there is a threat of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless recommended by an appropriate technical expert. Transfer Pumps --check for proper operation of: 1. recycling pumps 2. irrigation pumps Operation & Maintenance Plan Page -3- Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or grinding noise, or a large amount of vibration, may indicate that the pump is in need of repair or replacement. NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that you are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform your pumping system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This will allow some safety time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly full lagoon is not the time to think about switching, repairing, or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is full, your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an inventory of spare parts or pumps. Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets, and parking lot runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste treatment or storage structures. The only water that should be coming from your lagoon is that which comes from your flushing (washing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon directly. You should inspect your diversion system for the following: Management: 1. adequate vegetation 2. diversion capacity 3. ridge berm height Practice water conservation --minimize building water usage and spillage from leaking waterers, "broken pipes and wash down" through proper maintenance and water conservation. Minimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This will reduce the amount of solids entering the lagoon Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and the full temporary storage level. Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the minimum liquid level and the maximum liquid level. Operation & Maintenance Plan Page 4- Start irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring based on nutrient requirements and soil moisture so that temporary storage will be maximized for the summer thunderstorm season. Similarly, irrigate in the late summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon storage for the winter. * The lagoon liquid level should never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest point of the dam or embankment. * Do not pump the lagoon liquid level lower that the permanent storage level unless you are removing sludge. * Locate float pump intakes approximately B inches underneath the liquid surface and as far away from the drain pipe inlets as possible. * Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-stemmed forage or vegetation, molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon. Frequently remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or wherever they are installed. * Maintain strict vegetation, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges. * Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embankment. Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is full or before it fills 50 percent of the permanent storage volume. * If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility of a pollutant discharge. Sludge Removal: Rate of lagoon sludge build up can be reduced by: * Proper lagoon sizing Operation & Maintenance Plan Page -5- mechanical solids separation of flushed waste gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or minimizing feed wastage and spillage Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will: have more nutrients have more odor, and require more land to properly use the nutrients Removal techniques: * Hire a custom applicator * Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper -agitator impeller pump through large -bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland and soil incorporate. Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or forageland; mix remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator, haul and spread onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate. * Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or forageland; dredge sludge from lagoon with dragline or sludge barge; berm an area beside lagoon to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back into lagoon; allow sludge to dewater, haul and spread with manure spreader onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate. Regardless of the method, you must have sludge material analyzed for waste constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The application of sludge to fields will be limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field and crop requirement. Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3. When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage. Close attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner remains intact. If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being Operation & Management Plan Page -6- disturbed, you should stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can be removed without liner injury. If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as possible. Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and heavy metal content than liquid. Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus and metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of erosion. Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil test phosphorus is should be applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value. The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site. Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which could increase the concern of neighbors. Identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts. You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This will give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount (you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may have an inflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the lagoon from the surrounding land. Land Operation Startup: Immediately after construction, establish complete sod cover and bare soil surfaces to avoid erosion. 2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before waste loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes. 3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a nexible pipe extender on the end of the pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during Operation & Maintenance Plan Page -7- initial filling or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of the lining. 4. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather). 5. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full lagoon liquid volume. This seeding should occur at least two weeks prior to the addition of wastewater. 6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below 7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of 1 pound per 1000 cubic feet of lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid pH is between 7.5 and 8.0. 7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate biological activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is recommended if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm season. Loading: The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the better the lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily are optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained and recharged each day, also work well. Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure Lagoon failures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure. Types of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overlapping, and breach of the dam. Assuming proper design and constructor, the owner has the responsibility for ensuring structure safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures include: * Modification of the lagoon structure --an example is the placement of a pipe in the dam without proper design and construction. Consult an expert in lagoon design before placing any pipes in dams. * Lagoon liquid levels --high levels are a safety risk a Operation & Maintenance Plan Page -8- * Failure to inspect and maintain the dam. * Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon. * Liner integrity --protect from inlet pipe scouring, damage during sludge removal, or rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater table. NOTE: If lagoon water is allowed to overlap the dam, the moving water will soon cause gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly cause a large discharge of wastewater and possible dam failure. Facility Owner e nical Specialist a- 1.

Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often these are seepage as opposed to flowing leaks -possible action*: > Dig a small well or ditch to catch all seepage, put in a submersible pump, and pump back into lagoon. > 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 *Lagoon problems require the consultation of an individual experienced in the design and installation of lagoons for permanent repair measures. 2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages. a. Did the waste reach any surface waters? b. Approximately how much was released and for what duration? c. Any damage noted, such as employee injury, fish kills, or property damage? 3. Contact appropriate agencies. The numbers are listed below: a. During normal business hours, call your DWQ (formerly DEM) regional office (910) 395 -3900, Emergency number: (919) 733-3942. Your phone call should include: your name, facility, telephone number, the details of the incident from item 2 above, 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 under taken, and the seriousness of the situation. b. If spill leaves property or enters surface waters, call local EMS (910) 259-1210 or 911. c. Instruct EMS to contact local Health Department (910) 259-1233. d. Contact CES (910) 259-1235, and local SWCD and NRCS office (9-�-Q).259- 4305 for advice/technical assistance. e. Contact your swine company 4. Implement procedures as advised by DEM 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. This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking, overflowing, or running off the site. You should NOT wait until wastes reach surface ' waters or leave your property to consider that you have a problem- You should make every effort to ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be available to all employees at the facility, as accidents, Ieaks, and breaks could happen at any time. Your Emergency Action -Plan is as follows: I. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may not be possible. I Suggested responses to problems are listed below: a. Lagoon overflow - possible solutions are: > Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam > Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate > Stop all additional flow to the lagoon (waterers) > Calla 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 - actions include: > Immediately stop waste application > Create a temporary diversion or berm, to contain the waste on the field > Incorporate waste to reduce further runoff ` c. Leakage from the waste distribution system: > Pipes and sprinklers -actions include: -stop recycle (flushing system) pump -stop irrigation pump -close valves to eliminate further discharge -separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow > Flush system, houses, solids separators -actions include: -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 SECTION ELEVEN EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN Source Cause BMPs to Minimize Odor Site Specific Practices Standing water around • Improper drainage; Grade and landscape such that water drains facilities .

One form is for your use in the - field to record any irrigation event on any field. This form may include irrigation events on several fields on several different dates. -Under the sprinkler nozzle section are several headings. If you know the diameter of the' sprinkler nozzle and the pressure at the nozzle, you ,can use the tables in the calibration section of this book to obtain flow rate in gallons per minute. The second fora is your permanent record form for each individual field for a period of one year. You may wish to subcode each field number to correspond with a sprinkler set if you are using a permanent irrigation system. Many times you may irrigate only a portion of the field. if so, one could have field 1A, 1B, 1C, etc. The permanent cumulative record could be used for each sprinkler set as mentioned above so that the acres column would be. correct for the portion irrigated rather than =he acres for the entire field. if one uses a traveler system, then coding each hydrant or pull position such as IA, 1B, 1C, etc. would be useful. - - start-up & operation - - 25A PERFORMANCE GUIDE. 1101 SIOMl talal 01attaft m-L Man is he UtWe &if". fa/Imt Orlwat ad1 N tpwt 11 Ml IWW.

In this case, consider cropping systems that can use nutrients other than the primary nutrient to reduce soil residual levels. For example, rotations that include legumes can use residual potash and phosphate while malting their own nitrogen. In this system, nitrogen should not be applied to the legume. This option will require more land but introduce greater management flexibility. ❑ While the primary nutrient can be balanced on this farms, there is little flexibility to accommodate increases or errors in nutrient concentrations or rates.

Animal Manures & By -Products Do: ■ Remember that the producer is responsible for any pollution caused by improper management of nutrients. ■ To avoid runoff, apply,irrigated or liquid materials at levels less than the infiltration rate of the soil. Infiltration rates vary with the degree of soil saturation and should be taken into account when applying nutrients from liquid sources. ■ To avoid groundwater contamination, apply no more liquid than the amount necessary to fill the soil profile within the crop rooting depth to field capacity. ■ To properly design and implement a nutrient management system, have manure and by-products analyzed. If a sample cannot be taken before land application use the best available information for that material. Then during land application or Ioading, take a representative sample of the material and have it analyzed. After results are received, reassess the nutrient management plan and make any necessary changes. ■ To maximize nutrient uptake for plant growth and development and to reduce the potential for pollution, apply nitrogen from fertilizers or by-products less than 30 days before planting. ■ Develop field borders, which serve as a nutrient trap if field runoff occurs. ■ If a by-product has a calcium carbonate equivalent, be sure to assess the lime effect at calculated application rates for the primary nutrient. Many products with calcium carbonate need to be treated as a primary lime source, rather than a primary nutrient source. ■ Store nutrient or lime sources that can't be applied at the appropriate time for plant use properly to prevent groundwater or surface waxer contamination. ■ Locate temporary and permanent storage structures a minimum of 160 feet from perennial waters as indicated on the most recent version of U.S.G.S. 1:24000 (7.5 minute) scale maps.

NCSUINCCES Nutrient Management Manual— Reference Section 8S SECTION SEVEN BMPS FOR HANDLING SWINE WASTE WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 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 preplant with no further 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 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. pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five 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 regulations. Page: 10 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 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. 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 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 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 cropland provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharges directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates 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 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 considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. Page: 9 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 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. 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 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, 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. B. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9.

I (we) know that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste treatment and storage system or construction of new facilities will require a new certification to be submitted to the Division of Environment Management (DEM) before the new animals are stocked. I (we) also understand that there must be no discharge of animal waste from this system to surface wasters of the state from a storm event less severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm. The approved plan will be filed on -site at the farm office and at the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation District and will be available for review by DEM upon request.

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 6 months. In no instanoe should the volume of waste being stored in your structure be higher than the upper pumping marker except in the event of a 25 year, 24 hour storm. 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 Table 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables make this plan invalid. Narrative of Operation; The fields in the nutrient management plan are marked in yellow on the attached map. Ditches are marked green on the map. The waste spray field should be set back 50 feet from the road and 25 feet from the field ditches. Fescue is established in field 1 a and will be grazed. Hybrid bermudagrass is established in field 1 and will also be grazed. If conditions are favorable the grower may cut some fescue and/or bermudagrass for hay. This practice would remove more nitrogen than grazing and would increase the nitrogen deficit for the operation. The total of commercial nitrogen plus nitrogen from the swine operation applied to the fescue, bermudagrass and overseeded rye should not exceed 9856 lbs. This is based on yearly applications of 185 lbs/acre to the fescue, 275 lbs/acre to the bermudagrass and 50 lbs/acre to the overseeded rye.

Factors included are: 1: Always apply wastes based on crop needs and the nutrient content of the waste. 2: Do not over apply nitrogen. 3: Do not apply wastes on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the ground is frozen, either could cause surface runoff. 4: Consider wind conditions to avoid drift and down wind odor problems. 5: Wastes can only be applied to actively growing crops or not more than 30 days prior to planting or to forages breaking dormancy. 6: This plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. 7: This plan is based on wastes being applied using irrigation. If the application method is changed, this plan will need to be revised because the nutrient content varies depending upon the application method 8: Waste samples are required to be taken and analyzed at least 60 days within the application date. 9: Soil samples are required to be taken and analyzed annually. These analyses are used to balance all nutrients for optimum growth and to monitor metal levels in the soil, especially copper and zinc.
