Type of Operation : Wean to Feeder Swine
Number of Animals: 6400 pigs design capa c ity
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 t he 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 orde r 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 was te shall not be applied to
land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With speci al pre-c a utions, waste may
be appl ied 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 t he surface is frozen . Either of these conditions
may result in runoff to surface wa ters wh i ch is not allowed unde r DEM regulations . Wind
conditions should also be considered to avo id drift and downwind odor problems . To
maximize the value of the nutrients for crop produc t ion and to red u ce the potential for
pollution , the waste should be appl ied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more
than 30 days prior to planting . Inject ing the waste or disking will conserv e nutrients and
reduce odor problems. This plan is based on waste application through irrigati on for this is
the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If yo u choose to inje ct 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 typ ical nutrient content
for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste ana lysis report
from your waste management fac ility . Attached you will find informatio n on pro per sampling
techniques , preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for ananlysi s. This waste
utiliz ation plan, if carried out , meets the requirements f or compliance with 15A NCAC
2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission .

AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3 , tons , etc.)
6400 pigs X .4 tons waste/pigs/year = 2560 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
6400 pigs X .48 lbs PAN/pigs/year= 3072 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.

NOTE : The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N
requ i rments . Beginning in 1996 the Coastal Zone Management Act will require farmers in
some eastern count ies of NC to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all
nutrients . This plan only addresses Nitrogen .

*** 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 486.4 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 pending 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 1.58 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.

NARRATIVE OF OPERATION
RYE, nitrogen rates and acreages are from the existing WUP dated 8/16/05 developed by
Danny Bailey. Fields 3-5 were added back to t his WUP using the previous RYE and nitrogen
rates due to the fact that they were in use previously.

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.
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 f ile 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 pending 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 any residential property boundary
and from anv cerennial stream or river (other that an irriaation ditch or canal. Animal waste
Page 6 of 9
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 elimi nate 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 analys is 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.
23 . Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina Department of
Agriculture regulations.

Ownershlp change allows for the waste management plan to transfer to the new owner.
However, a modification to the waste utilization plan (WUP) is applicable per a lease
agreement for land application of waste along with this transfer. lbis modification shows
that the land application site for animal waste is leased land and further shows that a
negative nitrogen balance ex.ist. That is, that the crop nitrogen requirement is greater than
the waste nitrogen produced on the farm. The field codes being used for waste application
are P6, P7, P8, and P9. Reference to these field codes are shown on the map and wettable
acre section of the existing WUP (Section II) nitrogen rates for the crops, Bermuda Hay and

Natural Resource Conservation Service
Waste Utilization Specifications
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operatio n or land application. Any
discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. IUegal discharges are subject to the
assessment of civil penalties of$10,000 per day by the Division ofEnvironmental Management
(DE~I) for every day the discharge continues.
2. The Natural Resource Conservation Service (1\"RCS) field office must have documentation of
the farm Nutrient Management Plan in the design folder sho\Ving that the producer either owns
or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer
does not own adequate land, he shall provide 'N"RCS with a copy of a written agreement with the
landowner within reasonable proximity, allowing th~ farmer the use of th~ land for waste
application for the life expectancy of the producti on facility . It is the r esponsibility of the owner
of the facility to secure an update of the Nutrient ~1anagement Plan when there is a change in the
operation such as: an increase in the number of animals. method of u til ization, or available larid .
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed the nitrogen needs for realistic crop
yields based on soil type, available moisture, hi storical data, climate c onditions, and level of
management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of appli c ation for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Managemem System (Rl\1S) or an
Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS i s used, the soil Joss shall not be greater than
10 tons/acre/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.
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. To minimize
odors and drift waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing excessively.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding. it will be soil incorporated on
conventionally tilled cropland. \Vhen applied to conservation tilled cro ps or grassland, the waste
may be broadcast provided the application does n ot occur dur ing a season prone to flooding .
7 . Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff
does not occur off-site or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the
site during application. No pending should occur in order to contro l conditions conducive to
odor or fly production and pro-vide uniformity of application.
8 . Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils. during rainfall events, or when the surface
is fro zen .
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no more than
20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered with solids.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting a crop on bare soil.
11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface waters. This distance may be
reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present.
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet to dwellings other than those ow11ed
by the facility operator.
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 a
discharge or by over-spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands
provided they have been approved as a land application site by a technical specialist. Animal
waste should not be applied on grassed water.vays that discharge directly into water courses, and
only then at agronomic rates provided the application causes no runoff or drift from the site. ·
16. Domestic and industrial waste from wash-do\vll facilities, showers. tOilets, sinks, etc., shall
not be discharged into the animal waste management system.
17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum
operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm even t in addition to the
one foot mandatory freeboard.
18 . A protective cover of appropriate vegetation v.-ill 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 moved and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected
regularly for evidence of erosion., leakage, or discharge.
19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the O\Vller is responsible
for obtaining and implementing a closure plan which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal
discharge, pollution and erosion.
20. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps. reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis

On June 11, 2004, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) issued a revised State General
Permit for swine facilities. The General Permit was issued in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill
733 (Session Law 2003-28).
In accordance with your application received on January 31, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of
Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Wayne
Faircloth, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land
application system in accordance with General Permit A WG 100000. The issuance of this COC
supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number A WS820644 which expires October 1, 2004.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Wayne Faircloth, located in Sampson County, with an animal capacity of no
greater than an annual average of 6400 Wean to Feeder swine and the application to land as specified in
the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CA WMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or
Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary,
they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows . Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a
rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2009. Pursuant to this COC,
you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as
specified in the General Permit, the facility's CA WMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting
and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this
facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number
of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and
this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Since this is a revised State
General Permit, it contains new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained in the
previous State General Permit. Enclosed for your convenience is a package containing the new and
revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please pay careful attention to the record keeping
and monitoring conditions in this permit.

Ownership change allows for the waste management plan to transfer to the new owner.
However, a modification to the waste utilization plan (WUP) is applicable per a lease
agreement for land application of waste along with this transfer. This modification shows
that the land application site for animal waste is leased land and further shows that a
negative nitrogen balance exist. That is, that the crop nitrogen requirement is greater than
the waste nitrogen produced on the farm. The field codes being used for waste application
are P6, P7, P8, and P9. Reference to these field codes are shown on the map and wettable
acre section of the existing WUP (Section ll) nitrogen rates for the crops, Bermuda Hay and
small grain overseed are the same as the existing WUP.

1/we w1derstand and will follow and implement the specifications and the operation and maintenance procedures
established in the approved waste utilization plan for the farm named above . I (we) know that any expansion to the
existing design capacity of the waste treatment and storage facilities will require a new certification to be submitted
to the Division of Environmental Management (DEM) before the new animals are stocked. I (we) also understand
that there must be no discharge of waste nutrients fom1 this systems to surface waters of the state from a stonn
event less severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm. The approved plan will be filed on-site at the fann office and at
the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation District and will be available for re view by DEM upon request.
I (we) understand that I must own or have access to irrigation or other 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, 24-hour stonn event. I also cenify that the waste \viii be
applied on the land according to this plan at the appropriate times and at rates that no runoff occurs· .

Bcnnudagrass ovcrsceded ·with rye or ryegrass will exhibit a yield suppression
of between 1200 to 2500 pounds per acre . When NRCS made the
recommendation of 50 lbs . of nitrogen per acre for an overs cedcd rye or
ryegrass crop, they did not account for the suppression in ben1mdagrass yield
with their computer program.
Yields of between 2500 to 5000 pounds of dry m a tter per acre have been
documented in recent studies of rye or ryegrass (se c ext. publication AC-4~3)
ovcrsccded into bermudagrass stands.
My exp e rience has been that 50 lbs. of nitrogen/acre will not grow an oversecd of
rye or ryegrass from Octobe r until April in North Carolina. I therefore asked at
the second guidance document meeting held at James Spnmt Community CollegL'
if it would be appropria te to subtract a portion of the nitrogen away from the
bcrmudagrass crop due to y ield suppression, a nd add this to the ovnsced . I was
answered in the affirmative --as long as the total nitrogen for both crops did not
exceed what the NRCS computer program generated. I there for e subtra cted a
portion of nitrogen away from the bcrmudagrass commensurate with documented
yidd suppression, a nd a dd ed this amount to the ovcrsecd .
I am enclosing a reprint of the article referenced in e xtension

OVERSEEDING BERMUDAGRASS
W/RYE, RYEGRASS
Ovcrsecdin~. The grazing season can be lengthened by overseeding
bermudagrass with a winter annual grass such as rye and ryegrass
(Fig. 10) or a legume such as crimson clover. ln recent studies, dry
maller yields of 2,500 to 5,000 pounds per acre have been obtained
during the c:ool season from winter rye or Italian ryegrass, depending
on the m?.nagcmcnt system. The higher yields were obtained when
the winter annuals were cut for hay. The reductions in yield of
Coastal as il result of ovcrseeding, varied from 1,200 to 2;500 pounds.
Higher nc~ ~·ields were obtained from utilizing rye rather than rye·
gr:lss. Some l)rolJicms arc yet to be resolved in oversccding bermuda-
gn.ss, but the practice is desirable under certain conditions. In areas
where qermudagrass is the only pasture species available, 25 to 50
percent of the acreage may be ovcrseeded with winter annuals in or-
der to proddc supplemental grazing 'during periods when bermuda is
dormant (Fig. ll).
Two bushels of rye per acre planted in October and fertilized with a
complete icrtiliz.er is suggested at rhe present time. When over-
seeding bermudagrass hay fields with winter annuals, it is important
that the bermuda be clipped to a stubble height of 3 inches or less.
Bermuda that has been used primarily for pasture will tend to have a
thicker sod than under hay manag~;mcnt. Therefore, grazing to a
height of 1 to 2 inches is advisable prior to oversceding.
Qq~rsecciing may be accomplished by using a sod-seeder or a wain
drill. if the grass has been grazed to an inch or less ami soil conditions
permit proper penetration of the seeding impicmcnt. In other cases a
light ciisking rna)• be required prior to seeding with a grain drill or
broadcast se,.dcr.

Dear Wayne Faircloth:
Subject: Notification for Wettable Acre Determination
Animal Waste Management System
Wayne Faircloth
Facility Number 82-644
Sampson County
A letter dated January 15. 1999 was sent to advise you about concerns associated with Certified Animal
Waste Management Plans and the method by which the irrigated acres within the plans were calculated. Only
the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application . Any
acreage within the plan that can not be reached by waste application equipment can not be used as part of your
plan.
An evaluation by Audrey Oxendine on 7/l/99 was made to revie w the actual number of acres at your
facility that receive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of
the following two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X... ·
Category 1:
~The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please
contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Trent Allen the necessary
information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre
determination. Please submit this information to Trent Allen, at 225 Green Street, Suite
714, Fayetteville, NC 28301. within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you have any
questions please contact Trent Allen at (91 0) 486·1541. If within 90 days you are unable
to provide Trent Allen with the information you are automatically required to complete
a Wettable Acre Determination as described by Category 2 below, within 180 days
of receipt of this letter.

Category 2:
0 Your facility has been identified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
as a facility that may have overestimated the number of acres actually receiving animal
waste. Therefore, some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates
set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him
or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must
be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct
Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension
Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation
Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special
designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this
designation, or a Professional Engineer.
All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and
the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be returned to DWQ within the next
180 days. If the needed modifications are not made and if the form is not returned within the
required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility
into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation,
and/or injunctive relief.
Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable
Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please
note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all
the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan
must be kept at your facility. DWQ and the Division of Soil & Water Conservation Staff will
review all documentation during their annual visit of your facility. An additional copy must by
kept on file at the local Soil & Water Conservation District Office. Please note that if you install
or modify your irrigation system, a designated Irrigation Specialist or a Professional Engineer
must also sign the Wettable Acre Determination Certification.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the res ponsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Sonya Avant of our
Central Office staff at [phone] ext. 571.

Bermudagrass overse eded with rye o r ryegrass will exhibit a yield suppression
of between 1200 to 2500 pounds per acre . When NRCS made the
re commendation of 50 lbs . o f nitrogen per acre for an overseeded rye or
ryegrass crop, they did not account for the suppression in bermudagrass yield
with their computer program .
Yields of between 2500 to 5000 pounds of dry matter per acre have been
documented in recent stud ies of rye or ryegrass (see ext . publication AG-493)
overseeded into bermudagrass stands.
My experience has bee n that 50 lbs . of nitrogen/acre will not grow an overseed of
rye or ryegrass from O ctober until April in North Carolina. I therefore asked at
the second guidance document meeting held at James Sprunt Community Colle~e
if j t. would be appropriate to subtract a portion of the nitrogen away from the
bermudagrass crop due to yield suppression, and add this to the overseed . I was
answered in the affirmative--as long as the total nitrogen for both crops did not
excee d what the NRCS computer program generated. I therefo re subt racted a
portion of nitrogen away from the bermudagrass commensurate with documented
yield suppression, and added this a mount to the oversecd.
I am enclosing a reprint of the article referenced in extension
AG-493 .

OVERSEEDING BERMUDAGRASS
W/RYE, RYEGRASS
O v cr s ecd in ~. T he grazing season can be lengthened by overseeding
bcrmud~gra s s with a winter annual grass such as rye and ryegrass
(F ig. 10 ) o1· a legume suc h as crimson clover. ln recent studies , dry
mallcr yields of 2,500 to 5,000 pounds per acre have been obtained
d ur ing the cool season from winter rye or Italian rycgrass, depending
on the management system. The higher yields were obtained when
the winte r annuals were cut for .hay. The r eductions in yield of
Co:\stal as a result of ovcrsccding, varied from 1,200 to 2,500 pounds.
Higher ne~ yields we r e obtained from utili~ing rye rather than rye-
gr :~:;s . Some problems arc yet to be resolved in oversccdin(; bermuda-
grass , but th e practice is desirable under certain conditions . In areas
where qermudagrass is the only pasture species available, 25 to 50
percent of the acreage may be overseeded with winter annuals in or·
der to provide supplemental grazing during periods when bermuda is
dormant {Fig. 11).
Two bushels of rye per acre planted in October and fertilized with a
complete fertilizer is suggested at the present time. When over-
seeding bermudagrass hay fields with winter annuals. it is important
thzt the bermuda be clipped to a stubble height of 3 inches or less.
Be r muda that has been used primarily for pasture will tend to have a
thicker sod than under hay manag~mc n t. Therefore, gratin~ to a
height of 1 to 2 inches is advisable prior to overseeding.
Q,·c r secciing may be accomplished by using a sod-seeder or a l{rain
cirill . if the grass has been grazed to an inch or less and soil conditions
permit proper penetration of the seeding impicment. In other cases a
light disking may be required prior to seeding with a grain drill or
broadcast sc ~'der.
Natural Resource Conservation Service
Waste Utilization Specifications
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, driLL!, 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 the
assessment of civil penalties of S 10,000 per day by the Division of En\ironmental Management
(OEM) for every day the discharge continues. ·
2. The Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) field office must have documentation of
the fann Nutrient Management Plan in the design folder showing that the producer either owns
or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer
does not own adequate land, he shall provide N""RCS with a cop y of a v.-Titten agreement with the
landowner within reasonable proximity, allowing the farmer the use of the land for waste
application for the life expectancy of the production facility. I t is the responsibility of the owner
of the facility to secure an update of the Nutrient M anagement Plan \\·hen there is a change in the
operation such as : an increase in the number of animal s. method of mili zation, or available laiid.
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 1\-l anagemem Syst em (R!YfS) or an
Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used , th e soi l loss shall not be greater than
10 tons/acre/year and appropriate filter strips will be used whe re run off leaves the field. These
filter strips will be in addition to buffers required by DEM.
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or dislcing afte r wast e application. To minimize
odors and drift waste should not be applied when the V-~ind is blow·in g excessively.
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 ti lled crops or grassland, the waste
may be broadcast provided the application does not occu r during a season prone to flooding.
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff
does not occur off-site or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the
site during application. No pending should occur in order to control conditions conducive to
odor or fly production and provide uniformity of appli catio n.
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 no more than
20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered with solids.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting a crop on bare soiL
11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface waters. This distance may be
reduced-for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present.
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells .
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet to dwellings other than those owned
by the facility operator.
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 a
discharge or by over-spraying . Animal waste may be applied to prio r converted wetlands
provided they have been approved as a land appli cation site by a technical specialist. Animal
waste should not be applied on grassed waterways th at discharge dir ectly into water courses, and
only then at agronomic rates provided the appli cation causes no run o ff or drift from the site. ·
16. Domestic and industrial waste from wash-down fac ilities, show ers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall
not be discharged into the animal waste management system.
17. Lagoons and other unc overed waste cont ai runent structures mu st maintain a maximum
operating level to provide adequate storage for a 2 5-ye ar, 24-hour sto rm event in addition to the
one foot mandatory freeboard .
18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will b e 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 con sidered appropriate. Lagoon
areas should be kept moved and accessible . Lagoon berms and structur es should be inspected
regularly for evidence of erosion., leakage, or discharge .
19. 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 .
20. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis
to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular ma intenance che cklist should be kept on site.
For farms constructed after October 1, 1995, the following apply, as well:
21. Waste shall not be applied closer than 50 feet to residential property boundary.
22. Waste shall not be applied closer than 50 feet to a perennial stream, other than an irrigation
ditch or canal.

This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your
operation are leaking, overflowing, or running off the 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 lo~ation 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 problems are
listed below:
..
A. Lagoon overflow-possible solutions are:
a. Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam, any
permanent alteration of the dam should be approved by a
qualified technical specialist.
b. Pump wastes to field at an acceptable rat e .
c. Stop all additional flow to the lagoon-hold waste in the
house if possible.
d. Call a pumping contractor.
e. Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon.
B. Runoff from waste application field -action include:
a. Immediately stop waste application.
b. Create a temporary diversion or berm to contain the
waste.
c . Incorporate waste to reduce further runoff.
d. Ev al uate and eliminate the reason(s) that caused the
runoff.
e. Evalua te the application rates for the fields where
runoff occurred.
C. Le akage from the waste pipes and sprinklers-action i nc lude:
a. Stop recycle (flushing system) pump.
b. Stop irrigation pump.
c. Close valves to eliminate furth er discharge.
e. Repair all lea ks prior to restarting pumps.
D . Lea kage from flush system, h o uses, solids separators-ac tions
include:

sure no siphon effect ha s been created.
Stop all flows in the house, flush systems, or solid
separators.
e. Repair al l l eaks prior to res tarting pump s .
E. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often this is seepage
as opposed to flowing leaks-possible action:
a. Dig a small sump or ditch to catch all seepage, put in a
submersible pump, and pump back into lagoon.
b. If holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove
animals and fill holes and compact with a cl"ay type soil.
c. Have a professional evaluate the condition of the side
walls and the lagoon bottom as soon as possible.
2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages.
a. Did the waste reach any 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 have the potential to reach surface
waters?
f. Could a future rain event cause the spill to reach
surface waters?
g. 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
Water Quality) regional office, at 910-486-1541, after
hours, emergency number~919-733-3942. Your phone call

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) and
180 days of temporary storage. The time required for the planned
fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be reached may vary
due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount
of fresh water added to the system.
The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for:
(1) waste from animals and (2) excess rainfall after evaporation. Also
included is storage for the 25 year -24 hour storm for the location.
The volume of waste generated from a given number of. animals will be
fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year, but excess
rainfall will vary from year to year. The 25 year rainfall will not
be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage
volume must always be available.
A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin
pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from
building(s). If the outlet pipe is not installed at the elevation to
begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed at this elevation
to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established
to stop pumping to maintain lagoon treatment depth.
Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two
elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as
weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without
runoff or leaching.

Methods of application include solid set,

waste to prevent damage to crops.
The following items are to be carried out:
be
1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre-
charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during
start-up. Pre-charging reduces the concentration of the initial
waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors . Solids should be
covered with effluent at all times. When precharging is complete,
flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fres h wat e r should not
be used for flushing after initial filling .
2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This
plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment)
before land application.
3. Begin temporary storage pump-out of the lagoon when fluid level
reaches the elevation 45.3 as marked b y permanent marker. Stop pump-
out when the fluid level reaches elevation 43 .5 This temporary
storage, less 25 yr-24 hr storm, contains 7 3 95 4 cubic feet or
553179 gallons.
•
SHEET 2 OF 2
4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is
one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.3
inch per hour. Refer to the waste utilization plan for further details.
5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent"to the
lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertili.zed as needed
to maintai~ a vigorous stand.
6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and
establish in vegetation.
7. All surface runoff is to be diverted froD the lagoon to stable
outlets.
8. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around
waste utilization fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will
not be applied in open ditches. Do not pump within 200 feet of a
residence or within 100 feet of a well. Waste shall be applied in a
manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways.
9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of
~~ pollutants into waters of the United States . The Department of
Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ-
mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law.
