If microbe use is planned, specify the product to be used. 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.

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. 7.

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 (919) 715-6627 if you have any questions. Sincerely; Christine D.

Worksheet for sludge volume and treatment volume Revised August 2008 f 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. 14.

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.

Easley, Governor William G. Ross Jr- Secretary North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources August 11, 2008 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.

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. 16. Design sludge storage volume (DSSV) 85,000 17.

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, 0 Don Jackson RECEIVED FEB 2 4 2005 June 9, 2004 pg iA - FA 77EV LE RECi.4NAL 4FflCE Keith i_arick NC Division of Water Quality Water Quality Section Non -Discharge Compliance/Enforcement Unit 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 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 i Don Jackson Appendix. 5. Sludge Volume Worksheet.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.

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 TRACT FIELD 1783 -2 1783 2 1783+ -3 _ SOIL TYPE AGRAM 0$% - APPLICATION CROP RATE (in/hr) —SG 0.60 - - BC 0.60 APPLICATION AMT (inches) '1 '1 '1 WAGRAM 0.8% NORFOLK 0-2% -- - WA SA - WA _ 0.50 0.50 0.60 1783 -3 -1 -1-- NORFOLK 0-2% '1 '1 '1 1783 UTRYVILLE ALL AUTRYVILLE ALL 1783 SA SG 0.60 0.60 1786 y L786 UTRYVILLE ALL _ UTRYVILLE ALL - - `1 -- '1 - _ BC _ _ 0.60— ^ Page 4 of 9 This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied.

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. Page 8 of 9 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina Department of Agriculture regulations.

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.

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.

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.

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.

J SEPOT20 DUG -FAYETTE LEREGlDXC} FCE 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.

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.

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. Page 8 of 9 23.

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.

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.

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. Page 8of9 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina Department of Agriculture regulations. * Liquid Systems Page 9 of 9 NAME OF FARM: Triple J Farms 82-577 OWNER !
