Sludge Management/Operation Plan Sludge Management Guidance Lagoon evaluation data developed by NCSU and a review of lagoon management records of several lagoons showed that the treatment capability of the swine lagoons evaluated in NL was not significantly adversely affected by sludge accumulations of 50% or more of the planned treatment volume of the lagoon. Therefore it is felt that it is permissible to allow sludge accumulation into the planned treatment tone of properly monitored and managed lagoons provided that: 0 Nutrient values of the lagoon effluent are within the normal operating range. a There is no noticeable increase in lagoon odor. Q Nutrients land applied from the lagoon are properly accounted for in the application plan {W UP). Sludge Management Sludge in my lagoon will be managed by the following: Adequatety monitor to define sludge volume, location, and rate of accumulation by conducting an annual sludge survey. Maintain a minimum 2.5 feet deep zone, free of sludge at the pump intake during irrigation. a Position the pump intake and manage the irrigation operation such that the material irrigated is not more concentrated than the nutrient analysis samples. o Sufficient monitoring to address concerns that nutrients are not over applied. Other items as required by DWQ. I hereby certify that 1 have reviewed the information listed above and included within the attached Plan of Action, and to the best of my knowledge and ability, the information is accurate and correct. I further certify and acknowledge that compllance with regard to sludge accumulation must be achieved within two years of the original sludge survey indicating non-compliance.

Workshme! for sludge volume anO heatrr.a r: volume Revised A ugusf 2008 The average thickness of the sludge layer and the ihictmess of the existing ilquid (sludge -free) treatment zone are determined from the information on the Lagoon Sludge Survey Form ( Items 0 and P. respectively). In this example, the average sludge layer thickness is 2.5 feet and the existing liquid treatment zone is 3.5 €eet- If the lagoon has a deigned sludge storage volume, see notes at end of the worksheet. The dimensions of the lagoon as measured and the side slope are needed for calculations of sludge volume and of total treatment volume. If the lagoon is a standard geometric shape, the sludge volume and the treatment volume in the lagoon can be estimated by using standard equations. For approximate volumes of rectangular lagoons with constant side slope, calculate length and width at the midpoint of the layer, and multiply by layer thickness to calculate layer volume, as shown in the example. For irregular shapes, convert the total surface area io a square or rectangular shape. For enact volumes for lagoons with constant side slope, the "Frismoidal Equations" may be used. If the ratio R exceeds 0.50, than a sludge Plan of Action may be required. Check tnilth DWO for information on filing the Plan a< Action - Note: If the lagoon has a designed sludge storage volume (DSSV), subtract that volume from both the volume of sludge (Vs) (Item 8) and from the volume of total treatment zone (Vz) (Item 14), and take the ratio. Then, R = (Vs-DSSV)/(Vz - DSSV) Example: If DSSV = 85,000 ft3, then R = (969,860 - 85,000)1(447,174 - 85,000) = 84,860 / 362,174 = 0.24. 16. Design sludge storage volume (DSSV) 85,000 1%) A 17.

As you know, the previous compliance limit was to have a minimum of four (4) feet of treatment depth between the designed stop pump and the average elevation of the top of the sludge blanket. This requirement was based on NRCS Standard No. 359, which was recently modified. As of July 2008, Standard No. 359 does not use the 4 -foot requirement. Sludge compliance is now to be based on the sludge volume as a percentage of the total treatment volume. The revised Standard states that sludge accumulation in the permanent treatment zone must be less than 50% of the planned treatment volume. Also, there must be a minimum of 2.5 feet of liquid above the sludge at the pump intake location: If either of these conditions is not met then sludge must be removed or managed in accordance with an approved Plan of Action for Lagoon Sludge Reduction (POA). A new sludge survey worksheet has been developed to calculate sludge and treatment volumes to determine compliance. Our records indicate that you have filed a Sludge POA for one or more of the lagoons at your facility. Based on the changes to the sludge requirements in Standard No- 359, your lagoon(s) may already be in compliance without any sludge removal. Using your lagoon design (or as - built information) and current sludge survey measurements, complete the NEW sludge survey worksheet. If you have any difficulty in locating or understanding your lagoon design information, please contact your technical specialist or county Soil & Water office.

Box 438 Clinton NC 28329 g a Phone: 910-592-5771 Type of Operation: Farrow -Wean Number of Animal: 752 Storage Structure: Anaerobic Lagoon Method of Application: Irrigation Amount of waste produced per year: 4583 ton/year Amount of plant available N (PAN) produced/year: 4061 lbs./year 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. 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 the 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. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at more 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 in runoff to the surface waters which is not allowed 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 crops 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. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. 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 applications 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. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which RECEIVED / DENR / DWQ Aquifer Protection Section MAR 2 7 2009 P-11 could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and the crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Available Nitrogen 4061 lbs. Surplus or deficit -19 lbs. 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. P-11 Page 3 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 bermudagrass), 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 to reach materity, 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 the 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 mowed to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results. Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying summer annuals under stressed conditions. Nitrate poisoning may occur in livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is recommended. Acres shown in the tables are considered to be the usable acres excluding required buffers, filters 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 field listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. SLUDGE APPLICATION: The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. 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 632 lbs. of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove sludge every 5 years you will have approximately 3158 lbs. of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 lbs/acre you will need 11 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 lbs. of nitrogen per acre you will need 25 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estmates of the PAN and the land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on the sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application methods. 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 P-11 Page 4 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 irrrigate the acres shown in tables. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts. Tract No. Field No. Soil Type Crop Code Applic. Rate(In/hr) Applic.

In many situations the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitations. The maximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions. Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instances should the volume of the waste be stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm. It is the responsibility of the producer and the waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates 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 have receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to appling the waste. NARRATIVE OF OPERATION This plan has been revised to reflect a change in animal numbers, and type of operation. Plan was admended in 1997 from original plan in 1990 to reduce N for Coastal and increase N for small grain. Orignal rate for N was 400 lbs/ac P-11 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS Page 6 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. 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 waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy 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 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, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the held. (See FOTG standard 393 - Filter Strip). S. 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 irrigation field. 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" for guidance.) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate that runoff does not occur offsite or to the 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 or flies. 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 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. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potentual 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 component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residenrial property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips). P-11 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. Page 7 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by he 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 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 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 vegtation 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 evidences 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 illigal 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 vegetation 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 the 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 element. Zinc and copper levels in the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metal approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five (5) years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 21 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

Computations By: C Date L/ /o r. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN ------------------------------ This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) with min. odor control. The time required for the planned fluid level to be reached (permanent + temporary storage) may vary due to soil conditions flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. The designed 6 months temporary storage is an estimated volume based on: 1) waste from animals; 2) excess rainfall after evaporation; and 3) the largest 24 hour (one day) rainfall that occurs on the average of once every 25 years. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year. This estimate is based on 7 inches of excess rainfall which is equal to or exceeds the highest 6 months excess in a year. The average annual excess rainfall is approximately S inches. Therefore, an average of 8 inches of excess rainfall will need to be pumped each year. The 25 year rainfall will not be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage volume must always be available. A maximum elevation is determined in'each design to begin pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from building(s). If the outlet pipe is not installed on the elevation to begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed on this elevation to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established to stop pumping to maintain minimum treatment depth (6 feet). Pumping can be started or ,stopped at any time between these two Elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without runoff or leaching. Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set, center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops. The following items are to be carried out: 1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre - charged to 112 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during start --up. Pre --charging reduces the concentration of the initial waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be covered with effluent at all times. When precharging is complete, flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not be used for flushing after initial filling. 2: The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment) before land application. 3. Begin pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches eleva- tion 45.3 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump -out when the fluid level reaches elevation 43.0 or before the fluid depth is less than 6 feet deep (this prevents the loss of favorable bacteria). The design temporary storage, less 25 year storm is 123265 cubic feet or 922021 gallons. As stated before, this volume will vary considerably from year to year. 4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.3 'inch' peer hour. 5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain a vigorous stand. G. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and establish in vegetation. 7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable outlets. 8. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around waste utilization fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will not be applied in open ditches. Do not pump within 200 feet of a residence or within 100 feet of a well. 9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States. The: Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ- mental Management, has, the responsibility for enforcing this law. WASTE UTILIZATION FLAN ---------------------- Producer-----:Prestage Farms Inc County:Sampson Name of Farm -:P-11 Location ----- :P 0 Box 438 Clinton NC 28329 phone --------:910-592-5771 Type Operation ------------- :FAR-EE—EDWCAQ Number of Animal-----------. 752 Storage Structure ---------- :Anaerobic Lagoon Method of application ------ :Irrigation Amount of waste produced per year---------------: 4583 tons/year Amount of plant available N (PAN) produced/year-: 4061 lbs./year 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 use 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 testa 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. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at more 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 an saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may in runoff to the surface waters which is not allowed under DW9 regulations. 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoild drift and downwind oder 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. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. 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 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. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have Page 2 plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to ac=commodate changing waste analysis content and the crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner. Page 3 The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while 1eeting 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 bermudagrass), 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 to let small grain to 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 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. germudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results. Caution muat be exercised in grazing or haying summer annuals under stressed conditions. Nitrate poisoning may occur in livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is recommended. Acres shown in the tables 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 field listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. SLUDGE APPLICATION: The waste utilization plan must contain provision for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. 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 632 lbs. of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 3158 lbs. of PAN to utilize. assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 lbs. of nitrogen per acre, you will need 11 acres of land. if you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 lbs. of nitrogen per acre, you will need 25 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on your, sludge waste analysis, sail types, realistic yields, and application methods. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION Page 4 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 tables. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the table may make this plan invalid. The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

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 conditions. 11 . Page 5 Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instances should the volume of the waste be stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm. It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader 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 waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper- application rate prior to applying the waste. NARRATIVE OF OPERATION This plan has been revised to reflect a change in animal numbers, and type of operation. Pian was admended in 1997 from original planin 1990 to reduce N for coastal and increase N for winter rye. Original rate for coastal was 400 lbs.

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. 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 waste, he/she shall provide a copy 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 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, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. a. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strip) S. 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 irrigation_ field. 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" 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 or flies. 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 the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be use 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 pian 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. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at more 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 in runoff to the surface waters which is not allowed under DWG! regulations. 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoild 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. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This pian 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 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. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have Page 2 plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and the crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner. Page 3 The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while T 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 bermudagrass), 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 to let small grain to 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 time small grain is planted in the fall. The ideal time to interplant small grains etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results. Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying summer annuals under stressed conditions. Nitrate poisoning may occur in livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is recommended. Acres shown in the tables are considered to be the usable acres excluding required buffers , filter strips along ditches, add areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the field listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. SLUDGE APPLICATION: The waste utilization plan must contain provision for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. 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 624 lbs. of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 3120 lbs. of FAN to utilize. assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 lbs, of nitrogen per acre, you will need 10 acres of land. If you, apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 lbs. of nitrogen per acre, you will need 25 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application methods. Page 4 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 tables. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the table may crake this plan invalid.

Make sure no siphon effect has been created. d. Stop all flows in the house, flush systems, or solid separators. e. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps. r E. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed to flowing leaks -possible action: a. Dig a small sump or ditch to catch all seepage, put in a submersible pump, and pump back into lagoon. b. If holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill holes and compact with a clay type soil. c. Have a professional evaluate the condition of the side walls and the lagoon bottom as soon as possible. 2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages. a. Did the waste reach any sur -face waters? b. Approximately how much was released and for what duration? c. Any damage noted, such as employee injury, fish kills, or property damage? d. Did the spill leave the property? e. Does the spill have the potential to reach surface waters? f. Could a future rain event cause the spill to reach surface waters? g.
