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. ........................................................................................................................................................ 180636 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 5/12013 ' Specification Page 2 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. ....._""'.............................................................................................

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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 180636 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 05-01-2013 Crop Note Page 2 of 2 :�.�•� �'9F�v'.*�,pf��,�'S1"j)yy..,, ' M"f+�r,�'y', r+Tr }� � is n#-IN ' •- dt•'rT r�$Ae,.A i/������F �,._ .•�•�� ,�`�x,.k .l'`� � 'y �,CzHC�rs' � R'•`�'J' " W-1 sd 'M1E !l N• f,�l ,h'q.

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. 7 rn :o Un N � a L'. a .`O C .v Z 4-1-1 mIA Q.. d eft b W a L i 4.0 I txo C > _ > 3 w 3 Q u a Q 4 m 0 O p C ►+� L 42 `- •o O s C ._ o' H `m £) O aka c a1 > 0 .G L y s O C o . >, a {or C to a j _w L c (�jr L i.l O a o a > = yj, m L w jC. a � 4° to y ; m e :a -p is C O -O o V V = C L m Q � m ar E a, y m In= _y O O O O �� vy O dA v1 a toaL�i •0 •O CL •a' Im v, Q% CL F- _ m2 O L m ac 3 a • • • • e°'C •to W, W co u •a a (y -o �= IA r, ° a > y c ami t -�' o m 0o as o V E W _ .0 = oA L SM a 0IC N aF +w+ L -Q O N_ L C •C •0 N C T3 O= F.r dQ OJ 'i m � t' L .•-•.
