Narrative
This WUP has been revised to reflect irrigating on grain crops. A wetted acres footprint has been
completed to revise the irrigatable acres(see attached). The smallgrain in this WUP may be used for
winter grazing, with the WUP table showing a total of 50lbs/Nac that may be applied on the winter grain
crop. Any smallgrain residue will be bailed and removed from the fields. With the rotation as written
Mr Dail may keep a continous Corn rotation or substitute Soybeans any year desired.

The Available Waste Storage Capacity table provides an estimate of the number of days of storage
capacity available at the end of each month ofthe 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 user 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. Ifthe 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
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.
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.
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.
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, NRCS Field
Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
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.
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).
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
180636 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 5/1/2013 Specification Page 1
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.
Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall
events, or when the soil surface is frozen.
Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner
that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit
growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be
considered.
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 shall not
be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages
breaking dormancy.
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 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.
Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other
than those owned by the landowner.
Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and
public right-of-ways.

19.
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.
Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets,
sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management
system.
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 areas where
considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and
accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for
evidence of erosion, leakage,' or discharge.
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.
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 pre -plant
with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom
elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste
treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level
between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum
storage volume for waste storage ponds.
......................................... ...........
180636 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 5/1/2013 Specification Page 3
22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested
at Ieast 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
y The following crop note applies to field(s): P 1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6, P7, P8, P9
Corn: CP, Mineral Soil, medium leaching
In the Coastal Plain, corn 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 corn. Timely management of weeds and insects are essential for corn production.
The following crop note applies to field(s): P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6, P7, P8, P9
Small Grain: CP, Mineral Soil, medium leachable
f
In the Coastal Plain, oats and barley should be planted from October 15-October 30; and rye from
October 15-November 20. For barley, plant 22 seed/drill row foot and increase the seeding rate by 5% for
each week seeding is delayed beyond the optimum time. See the seeding rates table for applicable
seeding rate modifications in the current NCSU "Small Grain Production Guide". Also, increase the
initial seeding rate by at least 10% when planting no -till. Oats should be planted at 2 bushels/acre and
rye at 1-1 1/2 bushels/acre. Plant all these small grains at 1-1 1/2" deep. Adequate depth control is
essential. Review the NCSU Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to
select a high yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Apply no more
than 30 Ibs/acre N at planting. Phosphorus and potash recommended by a soil test can also be applied at
this time. The remaining N should be applied during the months of February -March.
The following crop note applies to field(s): P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6, P7, P8, P9
Double -Crop Soybeans, Coastal Plain: Mineral soil, medium leachable
Double -crop soybeans should be planted as early in June as possible with planting completed by July 4th.
is When no -tilling soybeans in -small grain straw, it is essential to manage the straw to achieve adequate
plant populations. Review the NCSU 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 2-4 seed/row foot for 7-8" drills; 4-6 seed/row foot for 15" rows; 6-8 seed/row foot for 30" rows
and 8-10 seed/row foot for 36" rows. Increase the seeding rate by at least 10% for no -till planting.
Seeding depth should be 1-1 1/2" and adequate depth control is essential. Phosphorus and potash
recommended for the soybeans can be applied to the wheat in the Fall. Soybeans produce their own
nitrogen and are normally grown without additions of nitrogen. However, applications of 20-301bs/acre
N are sometimes made at planting to promote early growth and vigor. Tissue samples can be analyzed
during the growing season to monitor the overall nutrient status of the soybeans. Timely management of
weeds and insects is essential for profitable double crop soybean production.

When seleoUng multiple methods Indicate a primary versus secondary option.
Methods of ler than those listed must be approved by the state Veterinarian.
Primary Secondary Routine Mortality
Q Burial three feet beneath the surface of the ground within 24 hours of knowledge of animal
death. Tte burial must be at least 300 feet from any flowing stream or public body of water
high 081403). The bottom of the burial pit should be at least one foot above the seasonal
high water table. Attach burial location map and plan.
Landfill atj municipal solid waste facility permitted by NC DEQ under GS 15A NCAC
13B .0206.
QRendering at a rendering plant licensed under G.S. 106-168.7,
D Complete incineration according to 02 NCAC 52C .0102.
A composting system approved and permitted by'the NC Department of Agriculture & Con-
sumer Services Veterinary. Division (attach copy of permit). If compost is distributed off -farm,
additional requirements must be met and a permit is required from NC DEQ,
(—'� ❑ in the case of dead poultry only, placing In a disposal pit of a size and design approved by the
NC Depar� ment of Agriculture & Consumer Services (G.S. 106-549.70).
oo Any methdd which, in the professional opinioniof the State Veterinarian, would -make possible
the salvage of pert of"a dead animal's value without endangering human or animal health,
(Written approval by the State Veterinarian must be attached).
Q 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 umbers of dead animals exceed normal mortality rates as specified by the State
Veterinarian.
• Burial ' ust be.cione in accordance with NC General Statutes and NCDA&CS Veterinary
Divisio i regulations and guidance.
• Mass I udal sites are subject to additional permit conditions (refer to facility's animal
waste nanagement system permit).
• In the i ivent of Imminent threat of a disease emergency, the State Veterinarian may enact
additlo lal temporary procedures or measures for disposal according to G.S. 106-399.4.

This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking,
overflowing or runnin6 off site. You should not wait until wastes reach surface waters or
leave your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to
ensure that this does! not happen. This plan should be posted in an accessible location
for all employees at tl a facility. The following are some action items you should take.
1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be possible. Suggested
responses to some possible problems are listed below.
A. Lagoon overflow possible solutions are:
a) Add soil o berm to increase elevation of dam.
b) Pump w stes to fields at an acceptable rate.
c) Stop all f+ow to the lagoon Immediately.
d) Call a pumping contractor.
e) Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon.
B. Runoff from waste application field -actions include:
a) Immediately stop waste application.
b) Create a temporary diversion to contain waste.
c) Incorporate waste to reduce runoff.
d) Evaluate
land eliminate the reason(s) that cause the runoff.
e) Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred.
C. Leakage from the .Waste pipes and sprinklers - action include:
a) Stop rec�cle pump.
b) Stop irrigation pump.
c) Close valves to eliminate further discharge.
d) Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
D. Leakage from flus systems, houses, solid separators - action include:
a) Stop recycle pump.
b) Stop irrigation pump.
c) Make suree siphon occurs.
d) Stop all flow In the house, flush systems, or solid separators.
E. Leakage from bas or sidewall of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed to flowing leaks -
possible action:
a) Dig a small sump or ditch from the embankment to catch all seepage, put in a submersible
pump, and pump back to lagoon.
b) If holes a�e caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill holes and
compact yvIth a clay type soil.
c) Have a p ofessional evaluate the condition of the side walls and the lagoon bottom as soon
as possible.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE'PLAN
Proper lagoon manager�nent should be a year-round priority. It is especially important to manage
levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and wet periods.
Maximum storage capacity should be available In the lagoon for periods when the receiving crop is
dormant (such as winte�iime for bermudagrass) or when there are extended rainy spells such as a
thunderstorm season irk the summertime. This means that at the first sign of plant growth in the
later winter / early spring, Irrigation according to a farm waste management plan should be done
whenever the land in dry enough to receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in
the lagoon for future we periods. In the late summer / early fall the lagoon should be pumped down
to the low marker (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage. Every effort should be made to
maintain the lagoon cIc se to the minimum liquid level as long as the weather and waste utilization
plan will allow it.
Waiting until the lagoon as reached its maximum storage capacity before starting to irrigated does
not leave room for stori g excess water during extended wet periods. Overflow from the lagoon for
any reason except a 25-, ear, 24-hour storm is a violation of state law and subject to penalty action.
The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following:
• Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam. Fescue or common bermudagrass
are the most common vegetative covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each
year, if needed, to maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fertilized applied should
be based on a soils test, but in the event that It Is not practical to obtain a soils test
each yeatj, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas should be fertilized with
800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or equivalent.
• Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may be done by
mowing, spraying, grazing, chopping, or a combination of these practices. This
should be done at least once a year and possibly twice in years that weather
conditions are favorable for heavy vegetative growth.
NOTE: If vegetation Is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to enter the Lagoon
water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating the waste.
Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the Initial filling of the lagoon
and at least monthly and (after major rainfall and storm events. Items to be checked should include,
as a minimum, the follow#ng:
Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes -- look for:
I. separation of joints
2. cracks or breaks
3. accumulation of salts or minerals
4. over�ll condition of pipes
2
t
Lagoon surface -- look for:
1. undesirable vegetative growth
2. floating or lodged debris
Embankment -- look for:
1. settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes
2. side slope stability -- slumps or bulges
3. wetl or damp areas on the back slope
4. erosion due to lack or vegetation or as a result of wave action
5. rod�nt damage
Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong
winds. These waves �an erode the lagoon sidewalis, thereby weakening the lagoon dam.
A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action. If
wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewail, baffles in the lagoon may be
used to reduce the wain impacts.
Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam. If your lagoon has
any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with design and
construction of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary fix if there is a
threat of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the
technical expert. An digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious
undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless
recommended by an appropriate technical expert.
Transf 'r Pumps -- check for proper operation of:
1. rec�cling pumps
2. Irrigation pumps
Check for leaks, loose) fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or grinding
noise, or a large amount of vibration, may indicate that the pump Is in need of repair or
replacement.
NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that
you are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform your
pumping system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This will
allow some safety tim6 should major repairs be required. Having a nearly full lagoon is
not the time to think bout switching, repairing, or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your
lagoon is full, your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an
inventory of spare part 5 or pumps.
• Surface water diversion features are designed to carry al/ surface drainage
waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets, and parking lot
runoff) aINay from your lagoon and other waste treatment or storage
structure . The only water that should be coming from your lagoon is that
which co es from your flushing (washing) system pipes and the rainfall that
hits the I goon directly. You should inspect your diversion system for the
following: '
. adequate vegetation
. diversion capacity
ridge berm height
i
i
Identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system
during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to
determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts.
You should record th'e level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then
record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes oere is no pumping). This will
, give you an idea of E�ow much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount
(you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in
planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may
have an overflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into
the lagoon from the surrounding land.
Lagoon Operation 1
i
Startup:
1. immediately �fter construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil
surfaces to avoid erosion.
2. Fill new lagoo� design treatment volume at least half full of water before waste
loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes.
3. Drainpipes intci the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender on the end of the
r, pipe to disch 'rge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial filling or another
means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of the lining.
4. When possibl, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize bacterial
establishment (due to warmer weather).
5. It is recomme ded that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy
working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full lagoon liquid
volume. This seeding should occur at least two weeks prior to the addition of
wastewater.
6. Maintain a per odic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below 7.0, add
agricultural lim at the rate of 1 pound per 1000 cubic feet of lagoon liquid volume
until the pH ris�s above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid pH is between 7.5 and 8.0.
7. A dark color, I ck of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate biological
activity. Conpultation with a technical specialist is recommended if these
conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm season.
I
i
i
Loading:
The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the better the
lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily
are optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are
drained and recharged, each day, also work well.
4
• Practice water conservation --- minimize building water usage and spillage from
leaking waterers, I broken pipes and washdown through proper maintenance and water
conservation.
• Minimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This will reduce the
amount of solids entering the lagoon.
i
Management:
• Maintain lagoon I liquid level between the permanent storage level and the full
temporary storag , level.
• Place visible marlers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the minimum liquid level
and the maximum liquid level. (Figure 2-1).
• Start irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring based on nutrient
requirements and soil moisture so that temporary storage will be maximized for the
summer thunderstorm season. Similarly, Irrigate in the late summer / early fall to
provide maximum lagoon storage for the winter.
• The lagoon liquid I level should never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest point of the
dam or embankment.
• Don not pump they lagoon liquid level lower than the permanent storage level unless
you are removing ;sludge.
• Locate float pump, intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid surface and
as far away from t�he drainpipe inlets as possible. "
• Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-stemmed forage or vegetation, molded
feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon.
• Frequently remode solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or
wherever they arelinstalled.
• Maintain strict vege'ltation, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges.
• Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embankment.
• Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is full or
before it fills 50 percent of the permanent storage volume.
• If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and
implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility o� a pollutant discharge.
Sludge Removal:
Rate of lagoon sludge ibuildup can be reduced by:
i
5
I
i
• proper lagoon sizing,
• mechanics solids separation of flushed waste,
• gravity sett ing of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or
• minimizing feed wastage and spillage.
Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will:
• have more riutrients,
• have more odor, and
• require mole land to properly use the nutrients.
Removal techniques:
• Hire a custom applicator.
• Mix the sluc ge and lagoon liquid with a chopper - agitator impeller pump through large -
bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland; and soil incorporate.
• Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or forageland; mix
remaining s udge; pump into liquid sludge applicator; haul and spread onto cropland or
forageland; and soil incorporate.
• Dewater th� upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or forageland;
dredge sludge from lagoon with dragline or sludge barge; berm an area beside lagoon
to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back into lagoon; allow sludge to
dewater; haul and spread with manure spreader onto cropland or forageland; and soil
Incorporate.
Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste
constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different
nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields will be
limited by these nutrierts as well as any previous waste applications to that field and crop
requirement. Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3.
When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage.
Close attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner
remains intact. If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you
should stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can
be removed without liner injury. If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as
possible.
Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and heavy metal content
than liquid. Because cf this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus and
metal levels, as indica red by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of erosion.
Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil -test phosphors, it should be
applied only at rates qual to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other wastes,
always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value.
The application of sluc ge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site.
Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which
could increase the concern of neighbors.
i
Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure
Lagoon failures resu t in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure.
Types of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of
the dam. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for
ensuring structure safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures Include:
• Modificationj of the lagoon structure -- an example is the placement of a pipe in the dam
without proper design and construction. (Consult an expert In lagoon design before
placing any pipes in dams.)
• Lagoon liquid levels -- high levels are a safety risk.
• Failure to inspect and maintain the dam.
• Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon.
• Liner Inte rdY--Protect from Inlet pipe scouring, damage during sludge removal, or
rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater table.
NOTE: If lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving water will soon cause
gullies to form in thei dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly cause a large
discharge of wastewater and possible dam failure.
