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 .

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
5 . Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and
downwind odor problems .
5 . 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 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. Acreage
requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your
waste management 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.
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3 , tons, etc . )
300 head x 8 tons waste/head/year = 2400 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
300 head x 35 lbs PAN/head/year w 10500 lbs . PAN/year
Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time
and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
The following, acreage will be needed for waste application based on
the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN AMMENDMENT
For _Fj ED M oA1T Li UESToC K
Date C a n o {
The Environmental Management Commissions regulations for animal waste
management provides the following information in their Seventh Guidance Memo dated
January 9, 2001:
Animal waste application on fescue grass may begin on August 1 and end on July 31.
This means animal waste may be applied to fescue throughout the year
There are two exceptions.
Exceptions:
1 Limit nitrogen application during June and July. It is recommended that
you apply no more than 30 lbs. of N per 30 day period during June and July
providing there is adequate soil moisture.
2 No nitrogen in December and January during severe winters such as when
ground is frozen or when ground is too wet for equipment.
Important: Include this Amendment with your Waste Utilization Plan.

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
*** This number must be less than or equal to 0 in order to fully
utilize the animal waste N produced.
Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the
usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches,
odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving
full application rates due to equipment limitations . Actual total
acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the
acres shown in the tables .
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of
animal waste .
Your facility is designed for 60 . 00 days of temporary storage and the
temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 2 . 00
months . In no instance should the volume of the waste be stored in
your structure he 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 Tables 1 and 2 . 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 rate prior to applying the waste .

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1 . Animal waste shall 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 . Zf 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 .
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.
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 .

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

This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leakina,
overflowing, or running off 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 posted in an accessible location for
all emplovees at the Facility. The following are some action items you should take.
i. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation_ this may or may not be
possible. Suggested responses to some possible problems are listed below.
A. Lagoon overflow-possible solutions are: AJ/I\
a. Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam.

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 .
Page: 1

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
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 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. Acreage
requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your
waste management 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.
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3 , tons, etc. )
300 head x 3 . 5 tons waste/head/year = 1050 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PRACE`A, WENRIDWO
300 head x 29 lbs PAN/head/year = 8700 lbs . PAN/year AQUIFFR-PPnTFrT10NCF9M
APR 0 3 2009
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, soil type and surface application.

The Environmental Management Commissions regulations for animal waste
management provides the following information in their Seventh Guidance Memo dated
January 9, 2001:
Animal waste application on fescue grass may begin on August 1 and end on July 31.
This means animal waste may be applied to fescue throughout the year
There are two exceptions.
Exceptions:
1 Limit nitrogen application during June and July. It is recommended that
you apply no more than 30 lbs. of N per 30 day period during June and July
providing there is adequate soil moisture. *
2 No nitrogen in December and January during severe winters such as when
ground is frozen or when ground is too wet for equipment.
Important: Include this Amendment with your Waste Utilization Plan.

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
*** This number must be less than or equal to 0 in order to fully
utilize the animal waste N produced.
Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the
usable acres excluding required buffers, . filter strips along ditches,
odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving
full application rates due to equipment limitations . Actual total
acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the
acres shown in the tables .
See attached map showing the- fields to be used for the utilization of
animal waste .
Your facility is designed for 60 . 00 days of temporary storage and the
temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 2 . 00
months . In no instance should the volume of the waste be 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 Tables 1 and 2 . 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 rate prior to applying the waste .

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1 . Animal waste shall 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 .
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.
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 .

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 .

Piedmont US Co Farm
Cattle Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Alamance County
Dear Joe Jones:
On June 11, 2004,the North Carolina Division of Water Quality(Division) issued a revised State General
Permit for swine facilities. The General Permit was issued in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill
733 (Session Law 2003-28).
In accordance with your application received on February 25, 2003 and in accordance with the directive
of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Joe
Jones, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land
application system in accordance with General Permit AWG200000. The issuance of this COC
supersedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWC015002 which expires October 1, 2004.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Piedmont US Co Farm, located in Alamance County, with an animal capacity
of no greater than an annual average of 300 Non-Dairy cattle and the application to land as specified in
the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP).
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2009. Pursuant to this COC,
you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as
specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting
and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational infornation must be established for this
facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number
of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and
this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Since this is a revised State
General Permit, it contains new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained in the
previous State General Permit. Enclosed for your convenience is a package containing the new and
revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please pay careful attention to the record keeping
and monitoring conditions in this permit.
If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, careful evaluation
of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is
inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed.

Alamance County
Dear Joe Jones:
On April 28, 2003, .the North Carolina General Assembly ratified Senate Bill 733 which directs the
Division of Water Quality (Division) to extend the expiration date of the Cattle Waste Operation General
Permit AWG200000. Therefore, the General Permit has been re-issued by the Division to extend the
expiration date to October 1, 2004. During the period of this extension the Division will be working with
all interested parties on the development of a new version of the Non-Discharge General Permit.
In accordance with your application received on February 25, 2003 and in accordance with the directive
of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Joe
Jones, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land
application system in accordance with General Permit AWG200000. The issuance of this COC
supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWC015002 which expired on April 30, 2003.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Piedmont US Co Farm, located in Alamance County, with an animal capacity
of no greater than an annual average of 300 Non-Dairy cattle and the application to land as specified in
the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP).
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until October 1, 2004. Pursuant to this COC, you
are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as
specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting
and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this
facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number
of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and
this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, careful evaluation
of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is
inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed.
The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws, rules, standards,.and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property.
Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit
documentation to the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to restocking
of the facility. 1�"T

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
S . 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 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. Acreage
requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your
waste management 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.
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, bons, etc. )
300 head x 3 . 5 tons waste/head/year = 1050 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
300 head x 29 lbs PAN/head/year = 8700 lbs . PAN/year
Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time
and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on
the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

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 .
Page: 1

.1
ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
S . 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 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. Acreage
requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your
waste management 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.
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc . )
300 head x 8 tons waste/head/year = 2400 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
300 head x 35 lbs PAN/head/year = 10500 lbs . PAN/year
Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time
and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on
the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

Operation and Maintenance Plan
Piedmont Livestock
1.. Operation should follow waste application guidelines as shown in the Waste
Utilization Plan.
2. A 100 foot grassed buffer will be maintained below the beef feedlot areas and the
stream. This area will be mowed annually to maintain grass filter. Bare areas will be
reseeded. Livestock will be fenced from the buffer area to maintain vegetation.
3. Beef feedlot will be scraped and waste stockpiled for immediate land application.
4. Swine feedlot will have adequate shavings to absorb waste.
5. Swine waste will be stockpiled for immediate land application.
6. All stockpiled waste will be sampled to determine nutrient content to land apply at
proper agronomic rates.
