Irrigation
The wastewater from your facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the wastewater should be used to
reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste
water is to be applied.
This nutrient utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Wastewater should be
analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are.strohgly 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 nutrient utilization plan In order to maximize
the fertilizer value of the wastewater and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe
manner. These factors are to be used as guidance.
1. Always apply wastewater based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the
nutrient content of the wastewater. 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 rozen.
Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowep
under DWQ regulations.
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. Inlecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.

This plan is based on the wastewater 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 wastewater Is based on typical nutrient content
for this type of facility. In some oases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could
allow additional wastewater to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving the
wastewater to be flexible so as to accommodate changing wastewater analysis content and crop
type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production.
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN PRODUCED PER YEAR (Ibs):
gallyr Ibs11000gal ib.W j

Applying the above amount of wastewater is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate
equipment to apply the wastewater in a timely manner.
LAND UTILIZATION SUMMARY
The following table describes the nutrient balance and land utilization rate for this facility
Note that the Nitrogen Balance for Crops indicates the ratio of the amount of nitrogen produced
on this facility to the amount of nitrogen that the crops under irrigation may uptake and utilize
In the normal growing season.
Total Irrigated Acreage: 28.16
Total N Required 1st Year: 9152.00
Total N Required 2nd Year: 0.00
Average Annual Nitrogen Requirement of Crops: 0,152.00
Total Nitrogen Produced,by Facility. 6,701.40
Nitrogen Balance for Crops: (2,450.60)
The following table describes the specifications of the hydrants and fields that contain the crops
designated for utilization of the nitrogen produced on this facility. This chart describes the size,
soil characteristics, and uptake rate for each crop in the specified crop rotation schedule for this
facility.

This plan does not include commercial fertilizer. The facility should produce adequate plant
available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above.
The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements.
In the future, regulations may require these facilities to have a nutrient management plan that
addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen.
In interplanted fields ( i.e. small grain, etc, Interseeded in bermuda), forage must be removed
through grazing, hay, and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they
reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a
height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care
should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially late In the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definitely Interfere
With stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen
being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is
the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to
consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to Interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is
recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of
about two inches before drilling for best results.

Acres shown in the preceding table 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.

The nutrient utllizatlon plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge/grit at
agronomic rates. The sludge/grit will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to
prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your wastewater facility will produce
approximately 80.1686 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year will in the lagoon
sludge/grit based on the rates of accumulation listed above.
If you remove the sludge/grit every 5 years, you W11 have approximately 400.843 pounds of plant
available nitrogen to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermuda grass hayland at the
rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 1.33614333333333 acres of land. If you apply this PAN
to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you WIN need 3.206744 acres of land. Please none that
these are only estimates of the PAN produced and the land required to utilize that PAN. Actual values
may only be determined by sampling the sludge/grit for plant available nitrogen content prior to application
Actual utilization rates will -vary with soil type, crop, and realistic yield expectations for the specific
application fields designated for sludge/grit application at time of removal.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION:
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of Irrigation
such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil
structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not
exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the
plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop.
If surface Irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, It is the responsibility of the
producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly
Irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan Invalid.
'This Is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount
of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations, the application
amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil ftndidons.
i
Your facility is designed for >60 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 4 months. In no Instance should the volume of the
wastewater stored in your structure be Within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or two feet of
freeboard except in the event of the 26 year 24 hour storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and wastewater applicator to ensure that the application
equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown In the tables. 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 wastewater analysis report for assistance in
determining the amount of wastewater per acre to apply to achieve the proper application amount
prior to applying the wastewater.

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
Waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances,
direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge
of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
2 There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an
agreement for use of adequate land on which to property 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 Utilization Plan
when there is a change in the operation, Increase in the amount of waste, method of
application, recieving crop type, or available land.
3 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 Waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be
applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 10 tans 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).
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 land application field.
4 %
6 When 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).
7 Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff
does not occur offsite or to surface waters and In a method which does not cause drift
from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor and
flies.
8 Waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is
frozen.

9 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 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

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 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 Waste can be used In a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human
consumption. However, if waste is used on crops for direct human consumption, it should
only be applied pre -plant with no further applications of 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
nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste tb be applied based on other nutrients, a
resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogdn based rate. Zinc and copper levels in
the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals
approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and maintained for optimum crop
production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years.
Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years.
Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for a minimum of five
years.
