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. Soo types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials. cation exchange opacities, and available water bolding capacities. 3. Normally waste slum 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 DW1VQ regulations. 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. G. 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 crap or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages brealdng dormancy_ Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. 1018 Oct lib 04 09:57a MURPHY-BROWN 9102933136 p.3 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 br 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. 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 ieidble so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type, tame must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, If carried out meets ft requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

The farm 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 farmers in some parts of North Carolina 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 bermude). forage must be removed through grazing, hay, and/or silage. Where grazing. plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to rdne 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 definateiy 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 ward to consider harvesting hay or silage bNo 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 recornmended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of about two inches before drilling for best rest .

The plant nutrients in the anirnat 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 realisfic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your wade utilization plan in order to maximize I he fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environrnentally safe manner: 1. always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content cf the waste Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. 2 Soil types are i:npottant as they have different infiltration rates. leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities and available viater holding capacities. 3. Normally .°caste shatl be appiied to land erodw.g al less than 5 tons per acre per year. V'Jaste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tens per acre annually, but less than 10 tans per acre per year providing that adequate tiller strips are established. 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, .:,hen it is ra.imrng. or vYrien tine surface is frozen. Either of these conditions May result in runoff to surface waters whicit is not allowed under, I VAjQ 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 grovving crop or applied not more than 30 days ,prior to planting a crop or forages breaking donnancy Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. 1 of 8 � ' r 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 appticaton methods are not the same. The estimated acres neeaeci to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility In sorne cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could ailow additional waste to be applied Provisions shal# 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.

In the future, regulations may require farmers in Borne parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses ail 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 rnatutity, especially late in the season (i e April or May}. Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definately 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 smaN 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 e.arly October Drilling is recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should De grazed or cut to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results.

The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 2302.8 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year will accumulate in the lagoon sludge based on the rates of accumulation listed above, If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 11514 pounds of plant available nitrogen to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermuda grass nayfand at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 38 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 92.112 acres of land. Please note 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 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 application at time of removal. APPLICATION OF I TASTE 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 ,-rater 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 taole Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. 'This is the maximurn 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 conanrons Your facility is design -ad tar >180 days of ternporaiy storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every o months.

Only the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application. Any acreage within the plan that can not be reached by waste application equipment can not be used as part of your plan. An evaluation by Trent Allen on 4/5/99 was made to review the actual number of acres at your facility that receive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of the following two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X". Category 1: ❑ The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Trent Allen the necessary information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre determination. Please submit this information to Trent Allen, at 225 Green Street, Suite 714, Fayetteville, NC 213301, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you have any questions please contact Trent Allen at (910) 486-1541. If within 90 days you are unable to provide Trent Allen with the information you are automatically required to complete a Wettable Acre Determination as described by Category 2 below, within 180 days of receipt of this letter. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Telephone 919-733-5083 Fax 919-715-6048 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Empioyer 50% recyded110% post -consumer paper Notification for Wettable Acre Determination Animal Waste Management System Page 2 Cateszorvy 2. Your facility has been identified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources as a facility that may have overestimated the number of acres actually receiving animal waste. Therefore, some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan. In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this designation, or a Professional Engineer. All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be returned to DWQ within the next 180 days. If the needed modifications are not made and if the form is not returned within the required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation, and/or injunctive relief. Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan must be -kept at your facility. DWQ and the Division of Soil & Water Conservation Staff will review all documentation during their annual visit of your facility. An additional copy must by kept on file at the local Soil & Water Conservation District Office. Please note that if you install or modify your irrigation system, a designated Irrigation Specialist or a Professional Engineer must also sign the Wettable Acre Determination Certification. Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting requirement.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer requited for the crops in the fields when the waste is to be applied. This wane utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nuuicat. Waste should be analyr before each application cycle. Annual soil tests arc strongly encouraged so that all plant nutriems can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to he prown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utdi7stiou plan in order to maximnisc the £dtz'lizcr value ofthe waste and to rusure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manger. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient c intent of the waste_ Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utM=. 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 tint allowed under DEM regulations. Wind ronditizms should also be considered to avoid drill 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 grooving crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to ptothtg. Injecting the waste or disking wdl 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 wig find information on proper sampling techniques, pr"mtiou, and transfer ofwaAt samples to the tab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requhvments for compliance with 15A NCAC 211.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. y � anim x I ton �5 Amount of Pant Available N"en (PAN) Pmdnocd Per Year a lc X 5.`#lbs.
