Compliance Timeframes:
If the sludge level is equal to or higher than the stop pump level of the lagoon or if the sludge level
results in an elevated waste analysis, a sludge management plan that meets the requirements of SB
Interagency Group Guidance Document 1.26 must be prepared by a technical specialist and submitted to
DWQ within 90 days. Work to reduce the sludge level must begin within another 180 days. Compliance
with NRCS Standard 350 must be achieved within two years of the original sludge survey.
If the sludge level is non-compliant but below the stop pump level of the lagoon, a POA must be filed
within 90 days and compliance with NRCS Standard 359 must be achieved within two years of the
original sludge survey indicating non-compliance. if future sludge surveys do not show improvement in
sludge levels, DWQ may require the owner to develop a sludge management plan that meets the
requirements of SB Interagency Group Guidance Document 1.26.

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 NC 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:
a Nutrient values of the lagoon effluent are within the normal operating range.
o There is no noticeable increase in lagoon odor.
o Nutrients land applied from the lagoon are properly accounted for in the application plan (WUP)
Sludge Management
e
Sludge in my lagoon will be managed by the following:
o Adequately 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.
o Position the pump intake and manage the irrigation operation such that the material irrigated is not more concentrated
than the nutrient analysis Sampies.
o Sufficient monitoring to address concerns that nutrients are not over applied.
Other items as required by DWQ_
I hereby certify that I 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 compliance with regard to sludge accumulation
must be achieved within two years of the original sludge survey indicating non-compliance.

Appendix 3. Worksheet for sludge volume and treatment volume Revised August 2008
The average thickness of the sludge layer and the thickness of the existing liquid (sludge -free) treatment zone are determined
from the information on the Lagoon Sludge Survey Form ( Items O and P, respectively). In this example, the average sludge
layer thickness is 2.5 feet and the existing liquid treatment zone is 3.5 feet If the lagoon has a designed 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 to a square
or rectangular shape. For exact volumes for lagoons with constant side slope, the "Prismoidal Equations" may be used.

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)

Appendix 3. Worksheet for sludge volume and treatment volume Revised August 2008
The average thickness of the sludge layer and the thickness of the existing liquid (sludge4ree) 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 feet. If the lagoon has a designed 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 to a square
or rectangular shape. For exact volumes for lagoons with constant side slope, the "Prismoidal Equations" may be used.
If the ratio R exceeds 0.50, than a sludge Plan of Action may be required. Check with DWQ for information

layer thickness is 2.5 feet and the existing liquid treatment zone is 3.5 feet. If the lagoon has a designed 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 to a square
or rectangular shape. For exact volumes for lagoons with constant side slope, the "Pdsmoidal Equations" may be used.

Dear Triple J Farms, Inc:
The Division of Water Quality (Division) received your Plan of Action (POA) for Lagoon
Sludge Reduction on February 24, 2010 for the three lagoons at the above referenced facility.
Condition 11I.19 of the Swine Waste Management System General Permit requires that
compliance regarding sludge levels must be achieved within two (2) years of the determination
that the levels do not satisfy the criteria ofNRCS NC Conservation Practice Standard No. 359.
Therefore, sludge removal or reduction to compliance levels for all three lagoons should be
completed and verified by December 31, 2011.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please call me at [phone] if you have any
questions.
Sincerely;
Christine D. Blanton

The average thickness of the sludge layer and the thickness of the existing liquid (sludge -free) treatment zone are determined
from the information on the Lagoon Sludge Survey Form ( ttems O and P, respectively). In this example, the average sludge
layer thickness is 2.5 feet and the existing liquid treatment zone is 3.5 feet. If the lagoon has a designed 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 to a square
or rectangular shape. For exact volumes for lagoons with constant side slope, the "Prismoldal Equations" may be used.

Appendix 3. Worksheet for sludge volume and treatment volume
Revised August 20D8
The average thickness of the sludge layer and the thickness of the existing liquid (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 feet. if the lagoon has a designed 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 to a square
or rectangular shape. For exact volumes for lagoons with constant side slope, the "Prismoidal Equations" may be used.
15. Ratio ( R ) of sludge layer volume to total Treatment Volume
R = VsNz 0.38 0.72
If the ratio R exceeds 0.50, than a sludge Plan of Action may be required. Check with DWO for information
on filing the Plan of Action.
NOW 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 W. then R = (169,860 - 85,000) / (447,174 - 85,000) = 84,8601362,174 = 0.24_

Subject: Sludge Compliance Requirement Change
Dear Permittee:
Coleen H. Sullins Director
Division of Water Quality
In accordance with Condition 111. 19 of State General Permit AWG 100000, your facility is
required to maintain compliance regarding sludge accumulation in your animal waste treatment
lagoon(s). 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.

jLAppengix 3. Worksheet for sludge volume and treatment volume Revised August 2008
The average thickness of the sludge layer and the thickness of the existing liquid (sludge -free) treatment zone are determined
from the information on the Lagoon Sludge Survey Form ( Items O and P. respectively). In this example, the average sludge
layer thickness is 2.5 feet and the existing liquid treatment zone is 3.5 feet, If the lagoon has a designed 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 to a square
or rectangular shape. For exact volumes for lagoons with constant side slope, the "Prismoidal Equations" may be used.
15. Ratio ( R ) of sludge layer volume to total Treatment Volume
R = VSNz 0.38 0.72
If the ratio R exceeds 0.50, than a sludge Plan of Action may be required. Check with i3WQ for information
on filing the Plan of 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 = (169,860 - 85,000) 1 (447,174 - 85,000) = 84,860 / 362,174 = 0.24.

Owner / Manager Agreement
I (we) verify that all the above information is correct and will be updated upon changing. I (we) understand the operation and
maintenance procedures established in the approved aminal waste management plan for the farm named above and will
implement these procedures. I (we) know that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste treatment and
storage system or construction of new facilities will require a new certification to be submitted to the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) before the new animals are stocked. I (we) understand that there must be no discharge of animal waste from
the storage or application system to surface waters of the state either directly through a man-made conveyance or from a
storm event less severe than the 25 -year, 24-hour storm and there must not, be run-off from the application of animal waste. I
(we) understand that run-off of pollutants from lounging and heavy use areas must be minimized using technical standards
developed by the USDA -Natural Resources Conservation Service (MRCS). The approved pian will be filed at the farm and at
the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation District I (we) know that any modification must be approved by a
technical specialist and submitted to the Soil and Water Conservation District prior to implementation. A change in land
ownership requires written notification to DWQ or a new certification (if the approved plan is changed) within 60 days of a
title transfer.

Dear Sir,
This is a Plan of Action for sludge management for Triple J Farms, COC #
NCA282577. I enclose a copy of my sludge surveys completed 12-29-05, as per permit
requirements. I am currently using air diffusers in each lagoon, which has reduced my
sludge and has increased microbial activity in my lagoons in the past. I had not used
them in quite some time but have re -introduced them to my lagoons. I am formulating a
sludge application plan and have contracted with a company to pump and haul sludge
from my lagoons to off-site fields.
I have converted this site to a partial nursery unit and reducing my finishing
animals by 43 percent, which will reduce the waste loading of these lagoons.
I would be glad to answer any questions you might have concerning this program
and to provide any supporting documentation that you may need.
Thank you for your attention and cooperation regarding this matter.
Sincerely,
Don Ja 2on

Dear Mr. Ladck,
This is a Plan of Action for sludge management for Triple J Farms, COC #
NCA282577. I enclose a copy of my sludge surveys completed 3-17-04, as per permit
requirements. I am currently using air diffusers in each lagoon, which has reduced my
sludge and has increased microbial activity in my lagoons in the past. i had not used
them in quite some time but have re -introduced them to my lagoons. l also plan to use
biological lagoon additives to reduce the sludge level in these lagoons and am working
closely with Coharie Farms on this project. 1 hope to begin a program within the next
three to six months. If this program is not successful, I realize that I may have to remove
some of this material off-site.
As an aside, I am presently converting this site to a partial nursery unit and
reducing my finishing animals by 43 percent, which will reduce the waste loading of
these lagoons.
I would be glad to answer any questions you might have concerning this program
and to Provide any supporting documentation that you may need.
Thank you for your attention and cooperation regarding this matter.
Sincerely,
,y

• "WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Coharie Hog Farm
Monday, June 9, 1997
Producer: Triple .i Farms
Farm Name: Triple J Farms
1860 CHRISTMAS TREE RD
DUNN,NC 28334
Telephone #: [phone]
Type of Operation : Feeder to Finish Swine
Number of Animals : 3750 hogs design capacity
Application Method: irrigation
The waste from your animF-i 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
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
contents 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 avaialable water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to
land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special pre -cautions, 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 the 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. This plan is based on waste application through irrigation for this is
the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you choose to inject the waste
in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for injecting waste and irrigating
waste 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. Attached you will find information on proper sampling
techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for ananlysis. This waste
utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
21-1.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

)kMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
3750 hogs X 1.9 tons wastelhogslyear = 7125 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
3750 hogs X 2.3 lbs PANlhogslyear = 8625 PAN/year
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.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown,
soil type and suface application.

*** This number must be less than or equal to 0 in order to fully utilize the animal waste N
produced.
Acres show in each of the preceeding 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
fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables.
NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of
sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nurturient rich and will require precautionary
measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility
will produce approximately 1387.5 pounds of plant available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the
sludge that will need to be removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when
broadcasting the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well special
equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge.
See the attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of waste water.
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.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 5.92 months. In no instance should the volume of
waste being stored in your structure be within 1.6 feet of the top of the dike.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsiblity of the
producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly
irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. 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.

4 NARRATIVE OF OPERATION
Producer has option to plant corn or soybeans for grazing in fields 1 and 3 on tract 1783 as
long as acceptable nitrogen rates are not exceeded. For corn , Nitrogen application rates
should be 137.5 Ib/acre on field 3 and 93.75 Ib/acre on field 1. In fields that com would be
planted following soybeans, Nitrogen application rates would be 117.7 Ib /acre on field 3 and
73.5 Ib /acre on field 1. Application time should be from March through July. For soybeans,
Nitrogen application rates should be 160 Iblacre on field 3 and 100 lb/acre on field
1.Application time should be between April and September 15. Acreages based on a wettable
acres determination completed on 7-25-02.

. PLANS & SPECIFICATIONS
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. Illegal discharges are subject
to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Water Quality 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 to properly dispose of 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 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 Pian 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 Stantard 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 there is danger of drift from the irrigation field.
f. 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 NRCS 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 to 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 the crop is
not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth.
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 a crop on bare soil.
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 anv residential prooerty boundary
Page 7 of 9

and from any perennial stream or river (other that 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)
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 landownwer.
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 croplands
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, except when applied at agronomic rates and 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. 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.
*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 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. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables'and other crops for
direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human
consumption, it should only be applied as a preemergence with no other applications of
animal 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 fpr 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 soils shall be monitored and alternative
crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted
for optimum crop production amd 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.

This plan wrll be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking,
overflowing, or running off site. You should not waist until wastes reach surface waters or
leave your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to
ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be posted in an accessible location for
all employees at the facility. The following are some action items you should take.
1. Scop the release of wastes. Depending on the situarion, this may or may not be
possible. Suggested,responses to some possible problems are listed below.
A. La_Qoon overflow -possible soIurions are:
a. Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam.
b. Pump wastes io fields at az acceptable rate.
c. Stop all flows to the lagoon immediately.
d. Call a pumping contractor.
e. Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon.
S: Runoff, from waste application field -actions include:
a, Imunediately stop waste anclicarion.
b. Create a temporary divemon to contain waste.
c. Incorporate waste to reduce runoff.
d. Evaluate and eli.rrunatt the reasons) that caused the runoff.
e. Evalr_:at.e the application rates for the fields where runoff occur ed.
C: Leal-zze from the waste pipes and sprinklers -action include:
a. Scop recycle pump.
b. Stop irrization punnp,
c. Close valves to elirn:nate fur -,her discnarze.
d. Repair all lealks prior to restarting pumps_

December 18, 1996

P s
e. Repair all leans prior to restarting pumps.
E: Leakaze from base or sidewalI of Iagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed to
flowing leaks- possible action:
a Dig a small sump or ditch away from the embankment to catch all seepage,
put in a submersible pump, and pump back to 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 lagoon
bottom as soon as possible.
2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages.
a. Did the w•zste reach any surface waters?
b. ApproxinateIy how much was released and for what duration?
c. Any damage noted, such as employee injury, fish kills, or propc,cy damage?
d. Did the spill Ieaue the property?
e. Does the spill have the potential to reach surface waters?
L Could a future rain event cause the spill to reach surface waters?
z. Are potable water wells in danecr (either on or off of the property)?
L How much reached surface waters?
3. Contact appropriate agencies.
a. During normal business hours, call your DWQ (Division of Water Quality)
regional office; Phone - - After hours, emergency number: 919-733-3942.
Your phone call should include: your name, facility, telephone nur, nber, the details
of the incident from item 2 above, the exact location of the facility, the Iocation or
direction of movement of the spill, weather and wind conditions. The corrective
measures that have been under taken, and the seriousness of the situation.
b. If spill leaves property or enters surface waters, call local EMS Phone number -
c. Instruct EMS to contact local Health Depart hent.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Coharie Hog Farm

Producer: TRIPLE J FARMS

Telephone #:
Type of Operation
DUNN,NC 28334
[phone]
Feeder to Finish Swine
Number of Animals: 3750 hogs design capacity
Application Method: Irrigation
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
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
contents 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 avaialable water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to
land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special pre -cautions, 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 the 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. This plan is based on waste application through irrigation for this is
the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you choose to inject the waste
in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for injecting waste and irrigating
waste 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. Attached you will find information on proper sampling
techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for ananlysis. This waste
utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.
Page 1 of 9

AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
3750 hogs X 1.9 tons wastelhogslyear = 7125 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
3750 hogs X 2.3 Ibs PANlhogslyear = 8625 PAWyear
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.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown,
soil type and suface application.

Acres show in each of the preceeding 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 fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables.
NOTE. The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of
sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nurturient rich and will require precautionary
measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility
will produce approximately 1387.5 pounds of plant available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the
sludge that will need to be removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when
broadcasting the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well special
equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge.
See the attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of waste water.
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.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 5.92 months. In no instance should the volume of
waste being stored in your structure be within 1.6 feet of the top of the dike.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsiblity of the
producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly
irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

NARRATIVE OF OPERATION
Producer has option to plant corn or soybeans for grazing in fields 1 and 3 on tract 1783 as
long as acceptable nitrogen rates are not exceeded -For corn , Nitrogen application rates
should be 137.5 Iblacre on field 3 and 93.75 Ib/acre on field 1. For soybeans, Nitrogen
application rates should be 150 lb/acre on field 3 and 100 lb/acre on field 1.

PLANS S SPECIFICATIONS
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. Illegal discharges are subject
to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Water Quality 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 to properly dispose of 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 with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing
himther 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 Stantard 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 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" in the NRCS 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 to 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 the crop is
not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth.
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 a crop on bare soil.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following,-
the
ollowing: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 anv residential vooertv boundary
Page 7 of 9

and from any perennial stream or river (other that 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)
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 landownwer.
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 croplands
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, except when applied at agronomic rates and 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. 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.
*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 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. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for
direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human
consumption, it should only be applied as a preemergence with no other applications of
animal 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 fpr 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 soils shall be monitored and alternative
crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted
for optimum crop production amd 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.

overflowine. or running off site. You should not wait until wastes reach surface waters or
leave your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to
ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be posted in an accessible location for
all employees at the facility. The following are some action items you should take.
1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be
possible. Suggested.responses to some possible problems are listed below.
A. Lagoon overflow -possible solutions are:
a Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam.
b_ Pum p wastes to fields at an acceptable rate.
c. Stop all flows to the lagoon immediately.
-
d. Call a pumping contractor.
e. Maize sure no surface water is entering lagoon.
B: Runoff from waste application field -actions include:
a. Immediately stop waste application.
b. Create a temporary diversion to contain waste.
c. Incorporate waste to reduce runoff.
d. Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s) that caused the runoff.
e. Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred.
C: Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinklers -action include:

e_ Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
E: Leakage from base or side wall of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed to
flowing Ieaks- possible action.
a. Dig a small sump or ditch away from the embankment to catch all seepage,
put in a submersible pump, and pump back to lagoon.
b. If holes are caused by buurowinc, 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 lagoon
bottom as soon as possible.
2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages.
a. Did the waste reach any surface 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 hive the potential to reach surface waters?
f. Could a future rain event cause the spill to reach surface waters?
a. Are potable water wells in danger (either on or off of the property)?
h. How much reached surface waters?
3: Contact appropriate agencies.
a. During normal business hours, call your DWQ (Division of Nater Quality)
regional office; Phone - - . After hours, emergency number. 919-733-3942.
Your phone call should include: your name, facility, telephone number, the details

t-arger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave a, iian caused by s?rong
winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalIs, thereby we2kenin- the lagoon dare.
A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potentia, dan-nage caused by wave a&;;ion. if

technical expert. any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy eruiprnrnt is a serious
undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not qe condLc-Led unless
recommended by an appropriate technical expert.
Transfer Pumps --check for proper operation o':
1. recycling pumps
2. irrigation pumps
Check For leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unvsuslly loud or grinding
noise, or a large arnount of vibration, -.may indicate that the pump i, in n -ed or repair or
rep' acement.
NOT::: Pumping swstems should be inspected and o0erated frequently enough so that you
are not cornpls!ely "5urprised" by equipment failure. You should Perfoi-M Your pumping
sYstent r;nainte::ance at a time when your laogon is at its low level. This will allow sortie

You should inspect your diversion system for the io}lowing:
1. adequate vegetation
2. diversion capacity
3.1 ridge berm height

identified problems should by corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system
during or immediately following a Heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to
determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts.
You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then
record the level again 4 to b hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping).' This will
,give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfali amount
(you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work;. Knowing tris should help in
planning irrigation applications and storage, if your lagoon rises excessively, you may .
have an inflow problem fron a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the
lagoon from the surrounding land.

2. rill neoq lagoon design treati- ent volume a: least hak;UN of water ba= ore
waste loading begins, taking'care not to erode lining or bank slopes.
.3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender on the
end of the pipe to discharge near the bottom of the la;pon during i,nitird
filling or another means or slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of
the lining.
.4. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize
bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather).
5. It is recommended the. a new lagoon be seeded with, sludge from a heathy
working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full lagoon
iieuid volume. This seeding should occour at least two weeks prior to the
addition of wastewater.
5. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. if the pH falls below
7.0, add agricultural lire at the rate of i pound per 7000 dubic feet of
lagoon liquid volume until tl a pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid
pH is between 7.5 and 8.0.

Number of Animals: 16875 pigs design capacity
Application Method: Irrigation
JUN 0 6 2007
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
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
contents 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 avaialable water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to
land eroding at greater than S tons per acre per year. With special pre -cautions, 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 the 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. This plan is based on waste application through irrigation for this is
the mariner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you choose to inject the waste
in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for injecting waste and irrigating
waste 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. Attached you will find information on proper sampling
techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for ananlysis. This waste
utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

S
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
16875 pigs X .4 tons wasteipigs/year = 6750 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
16875 pigs X .48 Ibs PANlpigs/year = 8100 PANlyear
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.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop t0 be grown,
soil type and suface application.

Acres show in each of the preceeding 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
fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables.
NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of
sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nurturient rich and will require precautionary
measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility
will produce approximately 1282.6 pounds of plant available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the
sludge that will need to be removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when
broadcasting the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well special
equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge_
See the attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of waste water.
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.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 8,92 months. In no instance should the volume of
waste being stored in your structure be within 1.6 feet of the top of the dike.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsiblity of the
producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly
irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. f=ailure 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.

PLANS & SPECIFICATIONS
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_ Illegal discharges are subject
to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Water Quality 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 to property dispose of 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 with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing
himther 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 foss shall be no
greater than 10 tons per acre 'per year and appropriate fitter strips will be used where runoff
leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. (See
FOTG Stantard 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 there is danger of drift from the irrigation field.
G. 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 NRCS 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 to provide uniformity of application..
$. 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.
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 app -lied more thah 30 -days prior'to planting of a crop on bare soil.
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 anv residential orooerty boundary
Page 7 of 9

and from any perennial stream or river (other that 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)
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 landownwer.
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 croplands
provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist".
Animal waste should not he applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water
courses, except when applied at agronomic rates and 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. A protective cover of appropriate vegetationwill 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.
*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 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. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for
direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human
consumption, it should only be applied as a preemergence with no other applications of
animal waste during the crop season_
*2.1. 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 fpr 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 ra_ te-
determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative
crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels, pH small be adjusted
for optimum crop production amd 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.

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
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 and4he v nutrient
contents of. the: waste:` Do-rli3t"apply more'nitrogen than"the; crop can'utilize-Soil1ypes-are
importan€'as they have different infiltration rates,. leaching. potentials,cation exchange...
capacities, and avaialable water holding capacities_ Normally waste shall not be;applied,to
land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per -year. With special pre -cautions; waste,,may
be applied -to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year: Do not apply waste -o17 ,1 .
saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is -frozen: Ether 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 problem -To.
maximize the value of the > nutrients- for crop production and to.reduce the potentialfor
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. This plan is based on waste application through irrigation for this is
the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you choose to inject the waste
in the future, you need to. revise this plan. Nutrient levels for injecting waste and irrigating
waste 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. Attached you will find information on proper sampling
techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for ananlysis. This waste
utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H.0217 adopted -by the Environmental Management Commission.

measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility
will produce approximately 1342.7 pounds of plant available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the
sludge that will need to be removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when
broadcasting the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres -of land, as well'special

PLANS & SPECIFICATIONS
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. Illegal discharges are subject
to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Water Quality 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 to properly dispose of 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 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 f Iter strips will be in addition to 'Buffers" required by DEM. (See
FOTG Stantard 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 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 cropsor grassland, the,.
waste may be broadcast provided the application -does not occur duringg-a seasonprone to.
flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in the NRCS 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 to 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 the crop is
not --covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth.
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 31!days prior to planting of a crop on bare soil.
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
comaonent of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from anv residential orooerty boundary
Page 7 of 9

and from any perennial stream or river (other that 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)
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 landownwer.
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 croplands
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, except when applied at agronomic rates and 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. 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.
*18. if animal production at -the -facility is to ber 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 reg.ular
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 vegetables'and other crops for
direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human
consumption, it should only be applied as a preemergence with no other applications of
animal 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 fpr 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."aste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -
determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative
crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted
for optimum crop production amd 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.

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
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
contents 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 avaialable water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to
land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special pre -cautions, 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 the 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. This plan is based on waste application through irrigation for this is
the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you choose to inject the waste
in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for injecting waste and irrigating
waste 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. Attached you will find information on proper sampling
techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for ananlysis. This waste
utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

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.

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.
NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of
sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nurturient rich and will require precautionary
measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility
will produce approximately 1342.7 pounds of plant available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the
sludge that will need to be removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when
broadcasting the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well special
equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge.
See the attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of waste water.
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.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of Once every 5.92 months. In no instance should the volume of
waste being stored in your structure be within 1.6 feet of the top of the dike.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsiblity of the
producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly
irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. 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.

PLANS & SPECIFICATIONS
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_ Illegal discharges are subject
to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Water Quality 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 to properly dispose of 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 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 Stantard 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 there is danger of drift from the irrigation field.
8. 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 NRCS 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 to 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 the crop is
not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fail 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 a crop on bare soil.
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
comoonent of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from arty residential prooerty boundary
Page 7 of 9

and from any perennial stream or river (other that 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 -i=nter 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 landownwer.
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 croplands
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, except when applied at agronomic rates and 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_ 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.
*1 B. 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.
*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 vegetables and other crops for
direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human
consumption, it should only be applied as a preemergence with no other applications of
animal 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 fpr 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 soils shall be monitored and alternative
crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted
for optimum crop production amd maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept
for rive (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.

plan and a new certification to be submitted to DEM before the new animals are stocked.
I (we) understand that 1 must own or have acces to equipment, primarily irrigation equipment,
to land apply the animal waste described in this waste utilization plan. This equipment must
be available at the appropriate pumping time such that no discharge occurs from the lagoon
in a 25 -year 1 -day storm event. 1 also certify that the waste will be applied on the land
according to this plan at the appropriate times and at rates that no runoff occurs_

This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking,
overflowing, or running off site. You should not wait until wastes reach surface waters or
leave your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to
ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be posted in an accessible location for
all employees at the facility. The following are some action items you should take.
1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be
possible. Suagested,responses to some possible problems are listed below.
A. Lagoon overflow -possible solutions are:
a. Add soil to berm to increase elevation of darn.
b. Pump wastes to fields at as acceptable rate.
c. Stop all flows to the lagoon immediately.
d. Call a pupping contractor.
e. Make sure no surface water is entering Izaoon.
B: Runoff from waste application field -actions include:
a. Immediately stop waste application.
b. Create a temporary diversion to contain waste.
c. Incorporate waste to reduce runoff.
d. Evaluate and eliminate the raason(s) that caused the runoff.
e. Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred.
C: Leal:aac fron the waste pipes and sprinklers-acrion include:
a. Stop recycle pump.
b. Stop irrigation pump.
c. Close valves to eliminate Bather discharge.
d. Repair all leaks prior to rest: mina pumps.
D: Leakage frorn flush systems, houses, solid separators -action include:
a_ Srop recycle pump.
b. Stop irrigation purzp.
C. Make sure no siphon occurs.
d, Slop all f!o«'s in the house, flush systens, or solid separators.
December 18, 1996

e. Repair all leaks prior to restar►ang pumps.
E: L,akage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed to
flowing leaks- possible action: r
a- Dia a sm=all sump or ditch away from the embankment to catch all seepage,
put in a submersible pump, and pump back to lagoon.
b. If holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and Ell
holes and compact with a clay type soil.
c. Have a professional evaluate the condition of the side walls and lagoon
bottom as soon as possible.
2 Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious da,=Zcs.
a. Did the waste reach any surface waters?
b. Approximately how much was released and for what �duradon?
c. Any damage noted, such as employee injury, fish kills, or propendamage?
d. Did the spi.11 leaxe 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?
a. Are potable water wells in danger (either on or off of the property)?
&- How much reached surface waters?
3: Contact appropriate agencies.
a. During normal business hours, tail your DWQ (Division of Water Quality)
regional office; Phone - . After hours, emergency number. 919-733-3942.
Your phone ca -11 should include: your name, facility, telephone number, the details
of the incident from item 2 above, the exact location of the facility, the location or
direction of movement of the spill, weather and wind conditions. Toe corrective
treasures that have been under taken, and the seriousness of the situation.
b. If spi11 leaves property or enters surface waters, tali local EMS Phone number -
c. Instruct EMS to contact local Health Department-
ct. Contact CES, phone number - - , local SWCD office phone number
and local NRCS office for advicetechnical assistant_ phone number - -
4: If none of the above works call 911 or the Sheriff s Depar-u--hent and explain your
problem to thorn and ask that person to contact the proper agencies for you.
3: Contact the contractor of your choice to begin repair of problem to minimize off-site
