The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of cropland needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements, and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake. This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or other by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each field in order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation. Depending on the requirements of the crop and the nutrient content of the waste, some nutrients wi 11 likely be over or under applied if animal waste is being utilized. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle and annual soil tests are required if ani mat waste is being applied Soil tests should be used . to balance the nutrient application amounts with the realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Nutrient management plans may require that the application of animal waste be limited so as to prevent over application of phosphorous when excessive levels of this nutrient are detected in a field.

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 greater than 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.

" , Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management 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 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, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient 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 Iess than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land application field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding (see "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance). ------------------------------------------------------------------------1------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 221252 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 2/28/03 Specification Page 1 79 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 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.

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.

Each waste storage pond has the capacity to store waste for six months. The waste is land applied utilizing an irrigation system. There is also a solids separator which spearates the solids out. The solids will be spread using a box spreader. The summary table includes all fields to which waste can be land applied. Approximately 270 acres of land are available to apply the waste. Total annual accumulation from WSP = 347,176 gallons You must have the animal waste analyzed to determine the nutrient content within 60 days of application. Soil nutrients in all fields where waste will be applied must be analyzed annually. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. If at anytime you plan to add additional land to the plan for waste application or make any changes in application equipment or make any changes to the plan, you need to contact your technical specialist to make an amendment to the plan. WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN THE MILK HOUSE OPERATION This animal waste management system consists of the following components: 1. Contaminated liquid waste storage pond. (1) 2. Irrigation and Agitation System 3. Solids Separator System All waste is scraped into a waste holding pond which is designed for 225 animals with a temporary storage of six months with the waste being removed on an average of once every six months. The waste storage pond is irrigated with a travelling irrigation system to any of the fields indicated in the Waste Utilization Plan. There is a solids separator which separates out the solids. The solids are then spread by box spreader. This Animal Waste Management prevent discharge of animal wart waters from the 25 year-24 hour the non -discharge regulations. e System is designed to contaminates to surface storm, as required under Proper liquid management should be a year-round priority for storage ponds. It is important to manage levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and wet periods. Maximum storage capacity should be available for periods when there are extended rainy spells. The level of management for the entire system will determine the service life of the waste storage pond. Once the solids have reached the waste storage pond, how effectively the waste is agitated will determine the amount of solids which remain in the waste storage pond. Over time it is expected that some solids will accumulate in the waste storage pond. The accumulated solids should not reduce the usable capacity of the waste storage pond to a point, which requires removal of the solids for many years if adequate lot scraping and waste agitation is maintained. In contrast, poor management will result in rapid accumulation of solids, which will reduce the usable capacity of the waste storage pond to the point • • that some form of dredging will be required. If removal of sludge is required at any time, samples should be taken for analysis and waste should be applied agronomically. Applications of sludge also increase the amount of odor and extra precautions should be taken to reduce odors. MAINTENANCE Routine maintenance of a waste storage pond is necessary to ensure the structure does not erode, weaken, or otherwise allow the wastes to leak or discharge. Routine maintenance involves the following: Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam. The dam should be mowed at least annually. Mowing operations must take place only when the soil of the dam is dry and vegetation should not be mowed to a height of less than four (4 ) inches at any time. Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. All equipment should be checked and maintained properly. You should inspect around the waste storage pond (embankment) frequently and look for settlement, cracking, or holes, side slope stability, wet or damp areas on the back slope, erosion due to lack of vegetation and rodent and tree damage. Any of these features could weaken the dam and should be fixed immediately. State of North Caroii* �I Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Water Quality .._.James B.

Waste storage pond #1 is located on the east side of Shore road behind the milk parlor and freestall barn. This waste storage pond is designed to store waste from milking parlor and freestall barn for 180 cows. Waste storage pond #2 (west side of Shore Rd) is designed to store liquids from calf barn, heifer and dry cow lot. Animal capacity for this area is approximately 200 dairy animals which average weighing 650 pounds. Each waste storage pond has the capacity to store waste for six months. The waste is land applied utilizing a pump and haul system using a 3000 gallon truck mounted slurry tank. An irrigation system will be installed in the spring of 1999 to handle waste from WSP 42 on west side of Shore Rd. The summary table includes all fields to which waste can be land applied. Approximately 200 acres of land are available to apply the waste. Of the 200 acres, approximately 186 acres are useable for actual waste applications. The cropping system which is utilized at the Milk House is a double cropping system of corn for silage and small grain for silage. Fall waste applications are generally made to fields where corn silage have been harvested prior to sowing small grain (wheat, barley or triticale) for silage. Spring waste applications are made to the same fields where small grain silage is harvested prior to planting corn for silage. There is no additional commercial fertilizer applied to the small grain fields where waste is applied. There is an additional 100 pounds of nitrogen applied to the corn crop. There is more than adequate land to make all waste applications. The Realistic Yield Expectations (R.Y.E.) at the Milk House are as follows: Commercial lbs PAN Fertilizer from Crop R.Y.E. 1bs.N/R.Y.E lbs.PAN/ac Nitrogen Waste Corn 18 ton 12 216 100 lbs.N 116lbs.N Silage Small Grain Silage 7 ton 12 84 0 84 1bs.N Application Rate (gallons/acre) Applic. Rate (gal/ac.) = crop PAN requirement (lb) x 1000 acre lb.PAN/1000 gallons Corn Silage = 116 lbs. PAN/ac. x 1000 = 12,888 gallons 9.0 Small Grain Silage = 84 lbs/ac. x 1000 = 9,333 gallons 9.0 Total annual accumulation from WSP ##1 = 1,143,700 gallons WSP #2 = 719,800 gallons Total Annual = 1,863,500 gallons Total 6 month accumulation = 931,750 gallons Acres needed for waste application utilizing the double cropping system follows: Acres needed for application = oral. of -waste produced every-6 mths. waste application rate/acre Acres of corn land = 931,750 gallons = 73 acres 12,888 gallons Acres of small grain land = 931,750 gallons .9,333 gallons = 100 acres You must have the animal -waste analyzed to determine the nutrient content within 60 days of - application. Soil nutrients in all fields where waste will be applied must be analyzed annually. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. If at anytime you plan to add additional land to the plan for waste application or make any changes in application equipment or make any changes to the plan, you need to contact your technical specialist to make an amendment to the plan.

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. You must have the animal waste analyzed to determine nutrient content as close to the time of application as practical and at least within 60 days of •the date of application before each application cycle. Soil nutrients in all fields where waste will be applied must be analyzed at least annually so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Soil test and waste analysis records shall be kept for five (5) years. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to insure 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. Lime must be applied to application ,fields as recommended by soil test to maintain the plant uptake of ' nutrients. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities, 3.. Animal wa§te' shall be applied on land eroding at less than five tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at five or more tons but less than ten tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. 4. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall, or when the soil surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is a violation of the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) .0200 regulations. 5. Wind conditions at the time of field application of waste should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop. Otherwise, apply waste no earlier than 30 days prior to planting a crop or prior to forages breaking dormancy. Injecting or otherwise incorporating animal waste below the soil surface will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. 7. Zinc and copper levels in the soils in all fields where waste is applied shall be monitored and alternative application fields shall be used when these metals approach excess levels. This plan is based on waste application by using a 3000 gallon truck mounted slurry tank (method (s) of application) for this is the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you chose to alter the method (s) of application in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for various waste application methods are not the same: The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for dairy (type operation) systems in North Carolina. Actual acreage requirements shall be based on waste analysis reports from storage structures in your waste management system. Your waste storage ponds (storage structure) are designed for 180 des of temporary and the temporary storage must -be removed on the average of once every six months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure be higher than the maximum storage marker except on the event of a 25 year - 24 hour storm. Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. • • The waste management system which is covered by this waste utilization plan shall be operated only by persons which hold a valid certificate as an operator in charge of an animal waste management system. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC2H.0217 (the .0200 rules) adopted by the Water Pollution Control System Operator Certification Commission. 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. Illegal discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day per violation by the Division of Water Quality for every day the discharge continues. 2. Follow the waste utilization plan on land that has been described in the plan for receiving animal waste application. -3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet , but not exceed the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. Actual yields may be used in lieu of realistic yield tables at discretion of the planner. 4. Animal waste shall be applied on land eroding. at less than five tons per acre per year. -Waste may be applied on Iand that is eroding at five or more tons but less than ten tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393--Filter Strips) 5. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when soil surface is frozen. 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. 6. Wastes shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 7. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 9. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet to dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 10. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public rights -of -way. 11. Animal waste applied on grassed waterways shall be at agronomic rates and in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways which discharge directly into water courses. 12. 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 excess levels. 13. Soil test and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. 14. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed soil infiltration rates. No ponding shall occur. 15. A highly visible marker shall be installed to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. For waste treatment lagoons, highly visible permanent markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. 16. Records of waste application shall be maintained to establish actual application rates. The records will include date of application, amount of waste applied per acre by tract number and field number, most recent waste. analysis and soil test report, and the realistic yield expectation. (R.Y.E.) nitrogen rate. Waste application records shall be maintained for five years. 17. Reduce hayland nitrogen rate by 25 percent on grassland being grazed when applying animal waste. 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. 1.9. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, etc. should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. 20. 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, number of animals (an increase), method of utilization, or available land. 21. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets NC regulations. North Carolina General Statute 106-403 requires that dead animals be disposed of within 24 hours in a manner approved- by the state veterinarian. 22. Insect control and odor control checklists shall be included as well as an Emergency Action Plan. • • EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN PHONE NUMBERS DWQ (336_771-4600 EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 911 or 679-4232 SWCD 679-8052 NRCS 679-8052 This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking, overflowing, or running off site.

Contaminated liquid waste storage pond. (2) 2. Irrigation and Agitation System 3. Pump and Haul System All waste is scraped into two waste holding ponds which are designed for 400 animals with a temporary storage of six months with the waste being removed on an average of once every six months. The waste storage pond #1 is hauled and waste from WSP #2 is irrigated with a travelling irrigation system to any of the fields indicated in the Waste Utilization Plan. This Animal Waste Management System is designed to prevent discharge of animal waste contaminates to surface waters from the 25 year-24 hour storm, as required under the non -discharge regulations. Proper liquid management should be a year-round priority for storage ponds. It is important to manage levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and wet periods. Maximum storage capacity should be available for periods when there are extended rainy spells. The level of management for the entire system will determine the service life of the waste storage pond. Once the solids have reached the waste storage pond, how effectively the waste is agitated will determine the amount of solids which remain in the waste storage pond. Over time it is expected that some solids will accumulate in the waste storage pond. The accumulated solids should not reduce the usable capacity of the waste storage pond to a point, which requires removal of the solids for many years if adequate lot scraping and waste agitation is maintained. In contrast, poor management will result in rapid accumulation of solids, which will reduce the usable capacity of the waste storage pond to the point that some form of dredging will be required. If removal of sludge is required at any time, samples should be taken for analysis and waste should be applied agronomically. Applications of sludge also increase the amount of odor and extra precautions should be taken to reduce odors. MAINTENANCE Routine maintenance of a waste storage pond is necessary to ensure the- structure does not erode, weaken, or otherwise allow the wastes to leak or discharge. Routine maintenance involves the following: - Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam. The dam should be mowed at least annually. Mowing operations must take place only when the soil of the dam is dry and vegetation should not be mowed to a height of less than four (4 ) inches at any time. - Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled.
