The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste are based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. Amount of Waste Produced Per Year(gallons, ft3, tons, etc.) 1,205 animals X 3,203 gallons (amt.) waste/animal/year=3,859,615 (amt.) waste/year. Amount of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) Produced Per Year 1,205 animals X 5.4 lbs. PAN/animal/year = 6,507 lbs. PAN/year. (PAN from N. C. Tech. Guide Std. 633) Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.

Your facility is designed for 90 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every _3_MONTHS. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation 94.3 (This elevation changed as per information provided by USDA - NRCS Engineering). Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or Soil and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. Narrative of Operation: Owner will apply waste to the above fields using irrigation as specified in the Irrigation Plans developed by Environmental Engineering Services of Jackson Springs, NC. Areas that are not effectively covered by irrigation can be utilized with surface spreading equipment. This equipment should be calibrated properly and the same level of care should be exercised when applying waste in this manner. All buffers listed in the irrigation plan apply regardless of the method used in applying the waste. Owner may graze the application fields — BUT nitrogen rates must be reduced by 25% If all fields listed in Table I are grazed the total pounds of PAN that can be applied are 6,753. This still results in a deficit of nitrogen for the cropping system. Sludge will accumulate in the first stage lagoon at a rate of 89 cu.ft. per active sow unit / 5 years (MRCS data, Tech Guide p.359-7). 89 x 1000 = 89,000 cu.ft. or 665,720 gallons sludge to remove every 5 years. Based on NRCS Technical Guide data the PAN content will be I 1 lbs. / 1,000 gallons. This amounts to 7,323 lbs. PAN to land apply. Applying PAN at a rate of 200 lbs./acre will require approximately 37 acres of Fescue. Actual acreage needed will be determined by soil test analysis and analysis of the sludge and applying at agronomic rate for realistic crop yields. It is very important to remove the accumulated sludge so that adequate treatment volume in the lagoon can be maintained. Fields 11,12,13,14 (Tract 3007) , are listed as usable for both land application of sludge and spray irrigation. The operator is responsible for deciding when to utilize the fields for which purpose. In no situation is it allowable to overapply PAN to any field. Table 3 Fields owned by producer available for sludge application - Refer to Map showing sludge fields.

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 510,000 per day by the Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement (sample enclosed) with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 (Interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers.] 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina in the Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application.. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered. 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop on bare soil. REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips) 12. Animal waste shall not he 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 wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and only then at agronomic rates provided the application causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard. 18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 19. If animal production at.the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 20. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site.

SwCD F1 Le co MY WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Producer: Massey Creek Farms - Garland McCollum Location: 210 Massey Creek Rd., Madison, NC 27025 Telephone: 910427-7030 Type Operation: 1000 head swine -Farrow to feeder Number of Animals: 1000 sows (Design Capacity) The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. Amount of Waste Produced Per Year(gallons, ft3, tons, etc.) 1,000 animals X 3,861 gallons (amt.) waste/animat/year=3,861,000 (amt.) wastelyear. Amount of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) Produced Per Year 1,000 animals X 6.5 lbs. PAN/animal/year = 6,500 lbs. PAN/year. (PAN from N. C. Tech. Guide Std. 633) Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.

Your facility is designed for 90 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every _3 MONTHS, In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation _93.9 Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or Soil and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. Narrative of Operation: Owner will apply waste to the above fields using irrigation as specified in the Irrigation Plans developed by Environmental Engineering Services of Jackson Springs, NC. Areas that are not effectively covered by irrigation can be utilized with surface spreading equipment. This equipment should be calibrated properly and the same level of care should be exercised when applying waste in this manner. All buffers listed in the irrigation plan apply regardless of the method used in applying the waste. Sludge will accumulate in the first stage lagoon at a rate of 89 cuft per active sow unit / 5 years (NRCS data, Tech Guide p.359-7). 89 x 1000 = 89,000 cu.fi. or 665,720 gallons sludge to remove every 5 years. Based on NRCS Technical Guide data the PAN content will be 11 lbs. / 1,000 gallons. This amounts to 7,323 lbs. PAN to land apply. Applying PAN at a rate of 200 lbs./acre will require approximately 37 acres of Fescue. Actual acreage needed will be determined by soil test analysis and analysis of the sludge and applying at agronomic rate for realistic crop yields. It is very important to remove the accumulated sludge so that adequate treatment volume in the lagoon can be maintained. Fields 11,12,13,14 (Tract 3007) , are listed as usable for both land application of sludge and spray irrigation. The operator is responsible for deciding when to utilize the fields for which purpose. In no situation is it allowable to overapply PAN to any field. Table 3 Fields owned by producer available for sludge application - Refer to Map showing sludge fields.

Always observe the inside dam sides for possible liner sloughing during rapid liquid draw -downs. Repair damaged lagoon liners immediately. Keep trash out of the lagoon since it tends to foul pump intakes, pipes, and nozzles. Irrigation pump intakes should be a minimum of 18 inches below the lagoon liquid surfaces. Any irrigation pump and irrigation nozzles should be designed to pump at least some solids. Odor Control When Irrigating Note: Much of this document text and exhibits are directly or indirectly related to odor control. Likewise, common sense plays a very important part of any odor control program. The below list of items is not intended to be all inclusive and relates mostly to irrigation. Take extreme care to select optimum conditions for spray irrigation and sludge removal events. Careful planing will help minimize odors. Irrigate wastewater in dry warm weather if possible, preferably before 12 noon. Avoid weekend and holiday irrigation unless absolutely necessary. Avoid unnecessary agitation of the lagoon when not irrigating. Provide a way to allow water to flow into the lagoon in a gentle fashion instead of splashing or cascading. Inlet piping shall be placed below water surface as long as the water inside the houses will drain out fully. Use temporary flexible drainage pipe if necessary to transfer water toward the bottom of the lagoon. In North Carolina prevailing winds blow from the southwest toward the northeast. Plant or maintain trees on the west and southwest side of the farm to act as a wind break. Plant trees between irrigation fields and neighbors or public highways. Avoid spraying on windy days or when the wind is blowing toward nearby neighbors. Good housekeeping, weed and grass control, insect control, carcass disposal, and trash pick-up are all required in order to be a good neighbor. Additional information on odor control should be included as part of the farm's overall waste management plan. On -Farm Wastewater Production Anaerobic lagoons breakdown solids and nutrients in raw swine effluent. The microbes in the anaerobic process consume some nutrients in their metabolism and help reduce the nutrient value of the raw manure. Swine effluent contains considerable nitrogen as well as other nutrients such as phosphorous and potassium. In addition the effluent contains many micro nutrients such as copper, calcium, zinc, etc. Currently only nitrogen is considered as the limiting nutrient factor for the land application of swine effluent, but in the future other nutrients may become the limiting components. Below the reader will find estimated liquid volumes expected to be produced by the hogs. The Plant Available Nitrogen or P.A.N. limitations for the spraying of wastewater are not being emphasized in this document but should be addressed in the farm's waste utilization plan. The engineer assumes that E MASSEY CREEK FARMS - IRRIGATION PLANS the fields or spots which tend to stay wet. Keep good vegetative buffers between irrigated fields and the creek. All of the fields at Massey Creek Farms pose unique challenges for irrigation. The steep rolling terrain, valley channels and the close proximity to creeks requires the farmer to pay particular attention to run off and weather forecasts. Hot and dry weather may allow increased irrigation volumes and frequencies but caution must always be used to prevent a discharge to the creeks. The engineer would recommend very limited irrigation or no irrigation in grass water ways, stormwater channels, and near downslope grass buffers. The irrigation power unit must have a high/low pressure cut off switch installed that will quickly stop irrigation should there be a sudden pressure fluctuation (e.g. a burst pipe). The farmer shall test this switch routinely to make sure it works. The engineer would recommend a monthly test as a minimum. The operator of an agricultural irrigation system for wastewater must be certified. Certification details are not discussed within this document but more information on the irrigation operators certification program can be obtained by calling the N.C. Division of Soil and Water Conservation at (919) 733-2302. GENERAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Animal wastes can not impact the surface waters of North Carolina. In the event of an emergency, Garland McCullum and/or the farm manager shall take the necessary measures to minimize the impact of the emergency. An emergency may be effluent overflow out of a lagoon, a dam failure, severe run-off of soil and nutrients due to a storm, a broken pipe etc. As a minimum the following shall be done: 1. Take the necessary measures to safeguard lives. 2. Stop the discharge ASAP. Temporary measures are acceptable in an emergency. Cut off the irrigation pump if necessary. Keep the effluent out of surface waters. 3. Get a contractor to the site to contain the discharge on a more permanent basis. Do not wait for contractor to arrive before getting more help if needed. 4. Notify all of these persons listed below (as needed). 5. Develop an agreement with a local earth moving contractor who has equipment that can be on -site within hours in the event of an emergency. This shall be a standing agreement between Massey Creek Farms and the contractor. In an emergency notify the contractor of the situation and specify the type of equipment needed. 6. Reduce the impact of the problem if at all possible. This can be done by diverting problem flows, putting up hay bales or silt fencing, installing temporary earthen dams with farm equipment, and/or pump excess water to other holding areas. Irrigating during rainfall events is better than allowing a lagoon dam to fail in an emergency, but notify DWQ first. 7. Notify DWQ officials within 24 hours of the problem (sooner is better). 8. Notify local authorities if lives or property are threatened. 21 Checklist for Anilnal-operatlolls - Control - `- 1'racliccs Insect _ silt specific 1s - --- Causc Uquid Systems o1 untcJ Source p Mush system is designed and of solids to rcnrovc accuntulaleJ solids from -- - - --.

Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited Illegal discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement (sample enclosed) with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for die life expectancy of the production facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to moot, 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. 4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. (Sce FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 (Interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers.] 5. Odors can be reduced by igjecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in the Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application.. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered. I0. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30. days prior to planting of the crop on bare soil. Prom: Garland McCollum To: J.R. Joshi Date: 8/26/98 lime: 8:22:44 AM Page 3 of 4 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filler strips are present. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips) 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manna not to reach other property and public right-of-ways 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainagaways or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted Artlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist'. Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and only then at agronomic rates provided the application causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard. 18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these area and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas where considered appropriate Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 19, If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 20. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site, From: Gadand McCollum To: J.R.

Routine maintenance is considered to be normal good care of the system. Good maintenance adds to beauty, usefulness, and per-manence. A. Maintenance The routine maintenance of the lagoon involves the following: 1. Maintenance of a vegetative cover on the embankment top and side slopes: k.. ts..r� sl -r- r"%L is being established on t e.se areas. Beginning in 199R and each year thereafter, the embankment should be fertilized with 800 nounds'of 10-10-10 per acre to maintain a vigorous stand. 2. Control of brush and trees on the embankment. This may be done by mowing, spraying, or chopping, or a combination of all three. This will need to be done at least once each .year and possibly twice in years favorable to heavy growth of vegetation. Maintenance inspections of the lagoon should be made during the initial fIlling of the lagoon and at least monthly. Items to be checked should include, as a minimum, the following: 1. waste inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes a. separation of joints b. cracks or breaks c. accumulation of salts or minerals d. overall condition of pipes 2. Lagoon surface a. undesirable vegetative growth b. floating or lodged debris 3. Embankment a. settlement, cracking or "jug" holes b. side slope stability - slumps or bulees C. wet or damn areas on the back slcne d. erosion due to lack of vegetation cr as a result of wave action e. rodent damage 1 From Gadand McCollum To: J.

The permanent storage is not to be pumped in order to ensure that anaerobic action will occur. The design storage includes permanent storage of one zu'eic Coot per pound of steady state live weight. The temporary storage portion of the lagoon includes capacity for the volume of waste produced over 180 days, the amount of rainfall in a 25 year 24 hour storm event plus an additional "heavy rain" fatter, and rainfall in excess of evaporation. Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage; therefore, it will need to be pumped every six months. Begin ump-out cf the lagoon when fluid level reaches elevation jj.q _ as marked by permanent markers. Stop pump -out when the fluid level reaches elevation 91?) Pumping can be started or stopped at any time hatween gnaw two elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as weather, soils, crop, and ecuipmant in order to apply waste without runoff or leaching. The attached waste management plan must be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste. (see - Attachment B) before land application. The vast= materia_ should be analyzed before each application cycle to determine its nutrient content. :, soil test of the area o: applicationshould be made annually to insure the waste is aotiied as reasonably and practically possible to reccmmanded rates.

Joshi From: Garland McCollum Re: request for additional Information Mr. Joshl: 1 have enclosed additional copies of our odor management checklist. This should satisfy hem one In your 10/21/98 request. As for Rem two, concerning application windows for Irrigation and sludge utilization, I will request that my local soil conservationist review the times or sludge application. In reference to irrigation applications, I believe I will be able to utilize fescue within the constraints of a Wday storage capacity. Information from technical bulletin #305 of the NCARS, describes the growth curve of pure stands of fescue as follows: Growth exceeding 20lbs./screlday occur between Feb. 7 and May 25 and again Sept. 1 through Dec. 1. application winde 26) The ow prior o growl seemingly emintime between pty wlllll work whhln our ed to be needs. about 100 days. Utilizing the 30-0ay Table 4 (copy included) was provided by Kevin Moore, the conservationist that developed my plan, also Indicates that nitrogen may be applied at varying rates throughout the year. Using the application window of September through April would loose the months of May and August which are indicated to be months In which fescue would utilize a relatively large amount of nitrogen. Additionally, it has been my experience that I can retard the summer dormancy of fescue In my area by continuing irrigation applications Into June. it has been my experience that as long as fescue in this area has adequate water and nitrogen, it will continue to grow throughout the summer. I also have seen that if I do not Irrigate during this time, the fescue will go dormant and further applications will not break that dormancy before late Aug./eady Sept. This has been the first year that I have been able to make full use of my waste management plan as a resuh of Installation of a new Irrigation system. I have been very pleased with the results of following this plan and for the first time, I am able to look on my lagoon as a valuable asset as opposed to a liability. I have adequate land for application and am adding more at this time. I foresee a time when I will be wishing I had more effluent to apply. I would not have foreseen this 3 years ago. I hope that this dears up our intended operational plans. If there are more questions, I will be glad to address them.

The revision is due to the change in the type of operation. The change is from a farrow to feeder to a farrow to weanling operation. There is no change in steady state live weight or any other aspect of the operation. I did include information pertaining to grazing the application fields however. he is not grazing at this time. There is also new ground currently being vegetated and I will revise and include again when final acreage is known.' Let me know if you need anything father.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Producer: Massey Creek Farms - Garland McCollum Location: 210 Massey Creek Rd., Madison, NC 27025 Telephone: 910-427-7030 Type Operation: 1205 head swine - Farrow to weanling Number of Animals : 1205 sows (Design Capacity) The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With.special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste are based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. RECEIVED l';P.TER WALiTY SECTION Nor -Discharge Partnitting Amount of Waste Produced Per Year(gallons, ft3, tons, etc.) 1,205 animals X 3,203 gallons (amt.) waste/animal/year=3,859,615 (amt.) waste/year.

Your facility is designed for 90 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every _3_MONTHS. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation 94.3 (This elevation changed as per information provided by USDA - NRCS Engineering). Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or Soil and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. Narrative of Operation: Owner will apply waste to the above fields using irrigation as specified in the Irrigation Plans developed by Environmental Engineering Services of Jackson Springs, NC. Areas that are not effectively covered by irrigation can be utilized with surface spreading equipment. This equipment should be calibrated properly and the same level of care should be exercised when applying waste in this manner. All buffers listed in the irrigation plan apply regardless of the method used in applying the waste. Owner may graze the application fields — BUT nitrogen rates must be reduced by 25% If all fields listed in Table I are grazed the total pounds of PAN that can be applied are 6,753. This still results in a deficit of nitrogen for the cropping system. . Sludge will accumulate in the first stage lagoon at a rate of 89 cu.ft. per active sow unit / 5 years (NRCS data, Tech Guide p.359-7). 89 x 1000 = 89,000 cu.ft. or 665,720 gallons sludge to remove every 5 years. Based on NRCS Technical Guide data the PAN content will be I I lbs. / 1,000 gallons. This amounts to 7,323 lbs. PAN to land apply. Applying PAN at a rate of 200 lbs./acre will require approximately 37 acres of Fescue. Actual acreage needed will be determined by soil test analysis and analysis of the sludge and applying at agronomic rate for realistic crop yields. It is very important to remove the accumulated sludge so that adequate treatment volume in the lagoon can be maintained. Fields 11,12,13,14 (Tract 3007) , are listed as usable for both land application of sludge and spray irrigation. The operator is responsible for deciding when to utilize the fields for which purpose. In no situation is it allowable to overapply PAN to any field. Table 3 Fields owned by producer available for sludge application - Refer to Map showing sludge fields.

Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.` Illegal discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement (sample enclosed) with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 (Interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers.] 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to Flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied, to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to Flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina in the Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions conducive to odor or Flies and provide uniformity of application.. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered. 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop on bare soil. REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips) 12. Animal waste shall notbe 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 wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and only then at agronomic rates provided the application causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard. 18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 19. If animal production at.the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 20, Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site.
