Nutrient Management (590) should be planned. Other conservation practices that improve
the soils available water holding capacity and improve nutrient use efficiency should be
considered. Examples are Cover Crops (340) to scavenge nutrients, Sod -Based Rotations
(328), Long -Term No -Till (778), and edge -of -field practices such as Filter Strips (393) and
Riparian Forest Buffers (391).

The Wash. )tilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization iL ,,, or this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the numbe, acres of
cropland needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements,
and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake.
This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or
other by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each field in
order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is
included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation.

The Available Waste Storage Capacity table provides an estimate of the number of days of storage
capacity available at the end of each month of the plan. Available storage capacity is calculated as the
design storage capacity in days minus the number of days of net storage volume accumulated. The start
date is a value entered by the riser and is defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in
the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or holding pond is equal to zero.
Available storage capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the design
storage capacity of the facility. If the available storage capacity is greater than the design storage
capacity, this indicates that the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated
If available storage capacity is negative, the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design
storage volume of the structure. Either of these situations indicates that the planned application interval
in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the structure's temporary storage capacity.

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
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 that reaches surface
water is prohibited. .
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer
either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to
properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to
properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an
agreement with a landowner, who is -within a reasonable proximity,
allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the
responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to secure an
update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the
operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application,
receiving crop type, or available land..
3, Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs
for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical
data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are
regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre
per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per
acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter
strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, MRCS Field
Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste .
application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift
from the land application field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste
will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is
applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be
broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone
to flooding (see "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance).
606892 Database Version 4.1 Date Printed: 5/9/2014 Specification Page 1

7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration
rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a
method which does not cause drift. from the site during application. No
ponding should occur in order to control odor and flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall
events, or when the soil 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
otad also be
growth. The potential for salt damage from animalwaste
considered.
10. Nutrients from waste 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 shallot
be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages
breaking dormancy.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1,1995 shall comply with
the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto whichwaste
e is
t least
applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall
be50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste,
other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1,1995,
shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters.
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 landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and
public right-of-ways.
606892 Database Version 4.1
Date Printed: 5/9/2014 Specification Page 2

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 cropland provided the fields have been
approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal
waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly
into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be
applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift
from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets,
sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management
system.
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on. all
disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas
shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as
trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areasrand nd ere
b
considered appropriate. Lagoon areas shouldkeptmowed
accessible. 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 shouldonly be applied pre -plant
with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the topnndall wobot :waste
elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume ) of
treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain th eeaqu ximum eel
between the markers. A marker will be required to
storage volume for waste storage ponds.
606892 Database Version 4.1
Date Printed: 5/9/2014 Specification Page 3

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 nutrient, unless other restrictions require
waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower
application rate than a nitrogen based rate. 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 and
maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis
records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste
application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three 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
regulations.

Crop Notes
The following crop note applies to field(s): 1B, 7
Com: CP, Mineral Soil, medium leaching
In the Coastal Plain, com is normally planted when soil temperatures reach 52 to 55 degrees fahrenheit.
Review the Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to select a high
yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Plant 1-2" deep. Plant
populations should be determined by the hybrid being planted. Increase the seeding rate by 10% when
planting no till. Phosphorus and potassium recommended by a soil test can be broadcast or banded at
planting. When planting early in cool, wet soil, banded phosphorus will be more available to the young
plants. An accepted practice is to apply 20-30 lbs/acre N and 20-30 lbs/acre phosphorus banded as a
starter and one-half the remaining N behind the planter. The rest of the N should be applied about 30-40
days after emergence. The total amount of N is dependent on soil type. When including a starter in the
fertilizer program, the recommended potassium and any additional phosphorus is normally broadcast at
planting. Plant samples can be analyzed during the growing season to monitor the overall nutrient status
of the com. Timely management of weeds and insects are essential for corn production.

In the Coastal Plain, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. 1 to Mar. 31. Cover sprigs 1" to 3"
deep (1.5" optimal). Sprigs should be planted quickly after digging and not allowed to dry in sun and
wind. For Coastal and Tifton 78 plant at least 10 bu/ac in 3' rows, spaced 2' to 3' in the row. Generally a
rate of 30 bu/ac is satisfactory to produce full groundcover in one or two years under good growing
conditions. Tifton 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bu/ac in 1.5' to 2' rows spaced 1' to 1:5' in row.
For broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus,
potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 100 lb/ac N in
the establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply 180 to 240
lb/ac N annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts.
Reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization
of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for more information or consult your regional agronomist or
extension agent for assistance.

Central Crops Research Station
Swine Evaluation Station
Anaerobic Lagoon Operation and Maintenance
The Swine Evaluation Station (SES) facility has a primary and secondary lagoon. Animals are kept on solid
flooring. Animal pens are typically cleaned every day by spraying waste into concrete trenches behind
each barn. Waste is then washed down each trench, both emptying into the primary lagoon by effluent
transport pipes. The primary lagoon spills into the secondary lagoon through a pipe that is roughly three
feet below the top of the lagoon dam.
In a typical year SES houses a research swine herd following an "all -in, all-out" model. Weaned pigs are
brought in, and research is conducted throughout the various growth stages of the animals. After trials
conclude the animals are euthanized or sold. Following completion of a trial facilities are cleaned and
disinfected during a "turnaround period".
The primary lagoon is filled by water from natural sources (precipitation directly in the lagoon or in the
trenches) and from everyday water use in the barns (daily cleaning, animal drinking systems, animal
waste, end -of -trial cleaning/disinfecting periods).
The secondary lagoon is filled from the primary lagoon and direct precipitation. The secondary lagoon is
the source of effluent for all application events.
Lagoon maintenance is a year-round priority. The capacity and general condition of each lagoon directly
affects the natural environment as well as the facility's ability to house research animals. Wastewater
levels should be kept as low as possible throughout the year, especially in anticipation of extended wet
periods (thunderstorm season, hurricane season, and winter).
Overflow of the lagoons (with sole exception of the 25-year, 24-hour storm) will result in penalties and
fines.
Most anaerobic lagoons have a pink color with regular "bubbling" as a result of gases given off as a
product of microbe activity. The SES lagoons usually take on this characteristic in the later stages of
trials, when animals have been in house for several months and have grown to produce enough waste.
The lagoons return to greener coloring later in the turnaround period and into early phases of the trials.
Chemical and microbial composition can be quickly altered by the changing number of research animals
in the facility. Nitrogen levels for the secondary lagoon are usually "lower" compared to normal
production lagoons. Throughout the year the nitrogen level tends to be below 1.0 Ib/1000 gallons. With
a large enough research herd, the nitrogen level can go above 1.Olb/1000 gallons. During the turnaround
period the nitrogen level can be too low to be measured in waste analysis.
1

Pump Maintenance
If the effluent pump is compromised the SES no longer has a way to reduce the levels in the lagoons.
This is particularly serious if lagoon levels are high and/or extended periods of precipitation are
imminent.
As a precaution AT LEAST ONE field should always have open lines/risers. The pump is not to be
operated without open lines in designated field(s).
Observe the pump before/during/after effluent application. Look/listen for signs of malfunction: leaking
water, grinding noises, cracks, breaks.
Dam Maintenance
Dams should be maintained to avoid/minimize any soil erosion or leakage of effluent.
• Grass should be mowed regularly to keep up lagoon appearance and discourage rodent activity.
• Dams are to be cut once or twice per year to clear banks of any unwanted vegetation such as
trees and large bushes. But smaller vegetation is encouraged to protect banks from erosion.
• Rat Bait stations should be checked monthly and filled as needed to control rodent populations.
• Dams should be checked regularly for any holes (rodent damage or erosion). Any holes found
should be filled and tightly packed with soil immediately.
• Larger burrowing animals (ground hogs, foxes, etc.) should be trapped and relocated.
• Herbicides are rarely used near dams, but should they become necessary to control unwanted
vegetation it is prohibited for herbicides to enter the lagoon. This could be detrimental to
proper anaerobic activity.
Operation of Wastewater stem
2. Check weather and soil to make sure conditions are appropriate for waste application to avoid
runoff and drift.
2. Check irrigation lines/risers. They should be open for fields selected for application and closed
for those not selected. Regardless if effluent pump is on or off at least one field should remain
open to prevent pressure buildup.
3. Prime pump with hand primer, then turn motor on.
2

4. Wait until pump reaches 80 psi, adjusting flow rate to reach but not exceed 80. At reaching 80
psi begin timer for one hour.
5. Run motor for one hour. System can be run for slightly longer, but the maximum amount is
dictated by the amount of water put onto the field. If there is standing water on the field, it
must dry/evaporate within four hours.
a. While system is running periodically check field to determine if there is risk of
drift/runoff.
6. Cut system off at one hour.
7. Record application data in Wastewater Records. Data to include time of pumping, weather
conditions, field applied on in Wastewater records.
System can be run multiple times in one day, provided multiple fields or used or the same field
does not accumulate standing water that cannot dry in four hours.
NEVER pump the lagoon water below the permanent storage level unless pumping sludge.
Wastewater System Maintenance
The main concerns for the wastewater system are:
1. No effluent escapes the system unintentionally
2. The lagoons are kept in a manageable level. Wastewater has a corrosive effect on everything in
the system, so all parts will need to be replaced over time.
To prevent effluent from escaping the system check the dams and pipes should be regularly inspected
for holes, cracks, or breaks of any kind.
Fields G1B and F9 have temporary pipes laid in them. Try to connect all pipes so that the seals line up
correctly to avoid leaking effluent. Lines should be inspected while they are being put together in the
fields. Check for any malfunctions in risers.
Fields G1A and F7 have permanent pipes underground with permanent risers attached. Check for any
signs that an underground pipe has burst. Also check the risers for any signs of damage, or if valves have
been corroded by effluent.
The primary and secondary lagoons are connected by a spillover pipe. Check this regularly for any signs
of obstruction that would prevent flow of effluent. If pipe is obstructed use the Central Crops Research
Station boat to safely enter lagoon to break up blocking elements.
Observe pipes effluent transport pipes from barns to primary lagoon, checking for signs of obstruction. If
flow from pipes seems to be diminished each pipe has an access hole to push/wash out the obstruction.
3

Winterizing Wastewater System
Winter temperatures jeopardize the effluent system. Precautions must be made in order to avoid
freezing water damaging any components of the system.
Winterizing the system
1. Open all lines/risers connected to effluent system to decrease chance of pressure buildup due to
freezing temperatures.
2. Open the bleed valve attached to the floating intake line in the secondary lagoon.
3. Open the valve attached to the pump.
4. Turn on both heat lamps in the effluent pump house. Attach one to the hand primer so it is close
to the pump.
Reactivating the system
1. Turn off the heat lamps in the pump house.
2. Close off the pump valve and the bleed valve on the floating intake.
3. Close off lines in the fields. BUT leave at least one field open to avoid pressure buildup.
Calibration
SES application fields have a mix of temporary and permanent lines/risers.
Fields with temporary pipes are calibrated using a flowmeter, along with documentation on factory
settings for risers, and measured wetted diameters.
Fields with permanent risers are calibrated using measured wetted diameters and documentation of
factory settings for risers. These risers are unable to connect to a flow meter and are too powerful to
use a hand-held pitot gauge. There are two Nelson F100R guns (one in G1A and one in F7) that can be
mounted with an individual pressure gauge.
Sludge
Sludge accumulation is a natural occurrence that must be monitored on a regular basis. Sludge
evaluation is utilized to determine available wastewater treatment area. A sludge survey is taken once
per year using the Central Crops Research Station boat, and poles used to measure total/sludge depth of
the lagoons. Whenever sludge accumulates to a high enough level (roughly 5096 of the lagoon) it is
removed by an outside company.

Mass Mortality Plan
Mass mortality plans are required for farms covered by an NPDES permit. These plans are
also recommended for all animal operations. This plan outlines farm -specific mortality man-
agement methods to be used for mass mortality. The NCDA&CS Veterinary Division sup-
ports a variety of emergency mortality disposal options; contact the Division for guidance.
• A catastrophic mortality disposal plan is part of the facility's CAWMP and is activated
when numbers of dead animals exceed normal mortality rates as specified by the State
Veterinarian.
• Burial must be done in accordance with NC General Statutes and NCDA&CS Veterinary
Division regulations and guidance.
• Mass burial sites are subject to additional permit conditions (refer to facility's animal
waste management system permit).
• In the event of imminent threat of a disease emergency, the State Veterinarian may enact
additional temporary procedures or measures for disposal according to G.S. 106-399.4.
