Yes, the nutrient management plan will provide recommendations for manure applications at agronomic rates. We are also emphasizing to farmers the importance of keeping records!

Sounds like he will have that information in the nutrient management plan you are writing for him. INC obviously doesn't regulate what he applies to his VA fields but I told him it would be a good idea to keep a record, so that if he ever had to, that he could prove he was only applying waste/nitrogen at agronomic rates. Thanks for assisting Mark on his VA fields, he's one of my good ones!

He mentioned to me that you have concerns about manure being over -applied on a particular field. I thought I would touch base with you to find out the details of your concerns and what I can do to help. Thanks for your time. Becky Barlow Nutrient Management Specialist Dept. of Conservation £.

Regarding the guy you left the message about, if he is attempting to line the area with the fabric then place concrete block, brick etc for erosion control, that is fine. If he is using waste material(s) attempting to fill in the area to level the ground to stop erosion, then he can only use the items in the law/rules as fill. See here http://repo rts.o a h.state. nc. us/ncac/title%2015a%20-%20e nvi ro n me nta l°/u20q ua I ity/chapter%u2013%20- %20solid%20waste%20management/subehaAter%20b/15a%20ncac%2013b%20.0562. pdf He could also use used broken up asphalt, but not liquid asphalt. But definitely no fabric balled up and/or metal, etc. Hope this answers your question. Jason M.

While record keeping was improved over last year, there are other concerns that warrant your attention. Specifically, Ms. Rosebrock noted that waste samples were not taken within 60 days of the July, September, and November waste applications. As you are aware, waste samples are to be taken within 60 days of all waste applications. It was also noted that 1998 and 1999 soil test results were not available for review. Please note that waste and soil analysis, once obtained, should be kept for a minimum of five years. Failure to have complete records is a violation of North Carolina General Statute 143- 215.10C and your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). During the inspection, it was discovered that animal waste and soil were washing off some of the cattle lots. While the discharge of waste from the lots was not reaching waters of the State on the date of the inspection, the potential certainly exists for a discharge to waters in the future, particularly if conditions deteriorate. To eliminate the possibility of any type of waste getting into surface waters of the State,we recommend that you scrape the lots as soon as possible. Per conversations with Ms. Rosebrock, it is our understanding that you will begin construction of a stock trail and stream crossing in July to eliminate some of these concerns. We urge your continued cooperation with the Stokes County Soil and Water Conservation District on your proposed construction. Additionally, the CAWMP lists 4.15 acres as the usable acres for Tract-1195 Field-8. As you stated during the inspection, the area is actually around 2.2 acres now that the poultry houses have been constructed. Please contact your technical specialist to have your CAWMP revised to reflect this change. 585 Wauahtown Street, Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27107-2241 Phone: 336-771-I600\ FAX: 336 — 771-4630\ Internet: www.enr.state.nc.us/ENR/ AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY \ AFFIRiNIATI VE ACTION EMPLOYER — 50% RECYCLED/ 10% POST CONSUMER PAPER �e3r- �. �_� Mark Bray Farm March 3, 2001 Page 2 The Winston-Salem Regional Office appreciates your cooperation in this matter.
