This plan provides an estimate of the number of 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. Animal operations that generate liquid waste and utilize waste storage facilities (lagoons or holding ponds) may apply more or less waste in any given year than is annually generated by the facility, In order to determine whether the plan adequately utilizes the waste produced by the facility, the storage capacity table included in this plan should be reviewed to ensure that the design capacity of the s torage facility is not exceeded during the planning period. Depending on the requirements of the crop and the nutrient content of the waste, some nutrients will likely be over or under applied if animal waste is being utilized. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle and annual soil tests are required if animal waste is being applied. Soil tests should be used to balance the nutrient application amounts with the realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Nutrient management plans may require that the application of animal waste be limited soas to prevent over application of phosphorous when excessive levels of this nutrient are detected in a field.

These estimates are based on average nitrogen concentrations for each source, the number of animals in the'fae ity and the plant available mtmgen aWlication rates shown in the second column. Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent. At clean out, this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases, the priority nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since nutrient levels are generally very High, application of sludge must be carefully applied. Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray fields should not be used for sludge application. If this is not possible, care should be taken not to load effluent application fields with high amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water moving to streams and lakes, phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a concern.

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. 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 vaolwne of accumulated waste exceeds the design storage volume of the structure Either of these situations indicates that the planted application interval in the waste uttlization plan is inconsistent with the structure's temporary storage capacity.

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 to tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, MRCS Field Offke Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips). S. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste application. Waste should not be apphed when there is danger of drift from the land application field. G. 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). - - - - --------------- - - - ------------------�----- 925935 Database Ver-sion 1-08 DaEe Printed 12-04-2001 Pd I 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 growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be 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 shall not 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 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. 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. ---------------------------------------------------- S6-i35 Database Version 1.08 - ----Date Primed: 12-04-20E11------------ S - -- pacifiea�orr 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 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. M If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, and erosion 19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc-, should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption, it should only be applied 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. 92SiiS Database Version 1.0�-------------Date Printed 12-04-2001------------5 - --- ^--- -- ------ -- peciftcatian Page 3 22. Waste shall he 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 he maintained for a minimum of three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for a minimum of five years 23.

(Written approval of the State Veterinarian must be attached) System Calibration Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operation conditions with relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application rates change over time as equipment gets older and components wear. In particular, pump wear tends to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use, nozzle wear results in an increase in the nozzle opening which will increase the discharge rate while decreasing the wetted diameter. You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the design will alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently the application uniformity. For example, operating the system with excessive pressure results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the sprinkler nozzle. Clogging of nozzles can result in pressure increase. Plugged intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure. Operating below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application uniformity. For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to ensure proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at several locations in the application area. Any number of containers can be used to collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because they already have a graduated. scale from which to read the application amount without having to perform additional calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets, jars, or anything with a uniform opening and cross-section can be used provided the liquid collected can be easily transferred to a scaled container for measuring. For stationary sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly throughout the application area at several distances from sprinklers. For traveling guns, sprinklers should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direction of pull. Set out collection containers 25 feet apart along the transect on both sides of the gun cart. You should compute the average application rate for all nonuniformity of the application. On a windless day, variation between containers of more than 30 percent is cause for concern. You should contact your irrigation dealer or technical specialist for assistance. 'Reprinted for Certification Training for Operations of Animal Waste Management Systems Manual OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN Proper lagoon liquid management 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 wintertime for bermudagrass) or when there are extended rainy sells such as the thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means that at the first signs of plant growth in the later winter/early spring, irrigation according to a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the land is dry enough to receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet periods. In the late summer/early fall the lagoon shopld 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 close to the minimum liquid level as long as the weather and waste utilization plan will allow it. Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before starting to irrigate does not leave room for storing excess water during extended wet periods. • Overflow from the lagoon for any reason except a 25-year, 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 fertilizer applied should be based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not practical to obtain a soils test each year, 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 following: Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes ---look for: 1. separation of joints 2. cracks or breaks 3. accumulation of salts or minerals 4. overall condition of pipes Lagoon surface ---look for: I. 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. wet or damp areas on the back slope 4. erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result of wave action 5. rodent damage Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, 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 sidewall, baffles in the lagoon may be used to reduce the wave 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. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavyequipment is a serious undertaking with potentially serious consequences and shoud not be conducted unless recommended by an appropriate technical expert. Transfer Pumps ---check for proper operation of. 1. recycling 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 or 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 time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly full lagoon is not the time to think about 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 parts or pumps. Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets, and parking lot runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste treatment or storage structures. The only water that should be coming from your lagoon is that which comes from your flushing (washing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon directly. You should inspect your diversion system for the following: I. adequate vegetation 2. diversion capacity 3. ridge berm height 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 the 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 there is no pumping). This will give you an idea of how 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 Iagoon rises excessively, you may have an inflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the lagoon from the surrounding land. Lagoon Operation Startup: 1. Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil surfaces to avoid erosion. 2. FiIl new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before waste loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes. 3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender on the end of the pipe to discharge 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 possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather). 5. It is recommended 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 occour at least two weeks prior to the addition of wastewater. 6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below 7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of I pound per 1000 cubic feet of lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon Iiquid pH is between 7.5 and 8.0. 7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate biological activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is recommended if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm season. 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. proper lagoon sizing, mechanical solids separation of flushed waste, gravity settling 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 nutrients, have more odor, and require more land to properly use the nutrients. Removal techniques: } Hire a custom applicator. Mix the sludge 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 ctbpland or forageland; mix remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator; haul and spread onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate. Dewater the 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 nutrients 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 Iiquid. Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus and metal levels, as indicated 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 phosphores, it should be applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value. The application of sludge 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. Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure Lagoon failures result 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: Modification 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 R safety risk. Failure to inspect and maintain the dam. Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon. Liner integrity ---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 the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly cause a large discharge of wastewater and possible dam failure. M Aw5 $L 64- - J, 1 LA►..-- �t"�icl L — AS Producer.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content 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 available water holding capacities.. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid driR and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. Ttie estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling tecltniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis.

The plan is based on the soil types, crops to be grown, and method of application for your particular operation. The waste must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application and annual soil tests are encouraged so that all plant nutrients and lime can be balanced for realistic yield of the crops to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environ- mentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. The amount of available nitrogen for plant use is dependant on the method of application. Soil type is important due to different leaching potential and yield potential. Waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils or on land when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and reduce the potential for pollution, waste should be applied to a growing crop or not more than 30 days prior to planting. Soil incorporation of the waste will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The acres needed to apply the animal waste are based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Annual acreage requirements may be more or less depending on the specific waste analysis report for your facility at the time of irrigation. f t Your waste utilization plan is based on the following: TABLE A.

Itsyy. is Retain this Plan our contractor and the Soil Conservation y Service personne] are in agreement as to how the waste lagoon is to be constructed. SCS personnel will meet with all concerned parties and walk over the site to explain all flags and markings. It is important that everyone understands what is expected so that final construction meets plans and specifications and the job can be certified for payment (if ACP cost -share is involved). The pad dimensions and grades are the best estimate. The builder or contractor is responsible for final layout and design of the pads. SCS personnel will assist in a limited capacity, as its major concern is the proper design and construction of the waste treatment lagoon. The actual amount of material required for pads and dam may vary from the estimates. The design will attempt to balance cuts and fills as close as possible. If additional material is required after construction is complete on the lagoon, the contractor and owner will negotiate on the price and location of the borrow area. It should be noted that certification of the lagoon will depend upon all specifications being met. Important items include length, width, depth, slopes, topsoil placement, correct elevations (top, bottom, discharge pipes), and seeding. ARE CULTURAL RESOURCES EVIDENT?

This requirement is for operations that are new or expanding after January 1, 1994. Before stocking animals, the producer must have a certification from a technical specialist stating that the operation meets the minimum guidelines. Currently, all registered professional engineers have been demgnated as technical specialists as has local Soil Conservation Service personnel with engineering job approval authority. Other technical specialists will likely be designated by the NC Sail and Water Conservation Commission in the near future. WHAT DOES THIS REQUMEMENT MEAN TO THE NEW OR EXPANDING SWINE OPERATOR? New and expanding operations will have to meet minimum SCS requirements for storage, treatment, and management of waste before animals are stocked. SCS has always encouraged producers to meet these standards but legally, producers were not required to meet the standards according to any time frame. SCS standards and specifications require the following items be completed before certifying that an operation meets the standards: 1. The waste treatment lagoon must be designed and constructed according to current guidelines contained in Section 4 of the SCS Field Office Technical GWde. This includes proper grading, excavation, and liming of the lagoon. It also includes seeding and mulching the lagoon prior to certification. 2. The waste management plan must be developed according to the SCS Technical Guide. This plan will address the proper management of the waste including treatment of the waste while in the lagoon and proper irrigation of the waste on crops. The irrigation plan will be based on the crops grown by the producer. The acres needed to apply the waste will be dependant on soil types, crops, irrigation equipment, storage capacity of the lagoon, and Mnagement. In addition to these standards and specifications, the state law requires that the producer either own or have access to the traded irrigation equipment Prior to receiving certification. This means that the producer will need to either own or have access to . the equipment before stoclang animals. The producer will need to provide the technical specialist with adequate evidence that this condition has been met. A technical specialist must sign certifying that each component has been designed and installed according to minimum guidelines. All four components -- storage, treatment, operation, and maintenance -- must be certified by the technical specialist before the operation will be deemed permitted by the state and allowed to stock animals. HOW DOES A PERSON MEET THESE REQUIREMENTS? A person considering a new or expanded swine operation should contact a technical specialist early izi the planning process. Then, as the site is evaluated and the system designed, the person should maintain contact with the specialist so that any potential problems or concerns can be addressed early. During site evaluation, a waste management plan will likely be developed and approved by the specialist. During this plan development, it is also advisable for the producer to determine what type of irrigation equipment will be used and to make the necessary arrangements for the equipment so that he can certify to the specialist the the equipment is available. When construction of the lagoon is nearing completion, the producer should contact the technical specialist so that a construction check can be performed to assum that the lagoon has been constructed as designed. As soon as the specialist approves the construction of the lagoon, seeding and mulching of the lagoon should occur so that the lagoon can be certified_ Once this step is finished, the producer should have the necessary certifications -- storage and treatment (lagoon), operation and maintenance (waste plan and irrigation equipment). PRODUCER CERTIFICATION OF IRRIGATION EQUIPMENT I. , certify that I (own, have access to) the (producer) following irrigation equipment: TYPE IRRIGATION AND SIZE , r . AVAILABLE FROM ownCr of Jqu,pment I further certify that, through the arrangements I have made concerning imrigation equipment. I will be able to irrigate as necessary according to my waste management plan. Signature (producer) Date 3 PRODUCER CERTIFICATION OF INTENT TO PLANT GRASS FOR IRRIGATION [ certify that I will plant the specired grasses (pro ucrr) as outlined in my waste management plan at the next available seeding date. If this seeding date is in excess of 6 months from the date I stock animals, then I will provide a temporary cover of small grain if needed for irrigation. Signature zz�� Date (pro uccr) ;r OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN ------------------------------ This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) with minimum odor control. The time required for the planned fluid level to be reached (permanent + temporary storage) may vary due to flushing operations and the amount of fresh water to be added to the system. The designed 6 months temporary storage is an estimated volume based on : 1) waste from animals; 2) excess rainfall after evaporation; and 3) the largest 24 hour (one day) rainfall that occurs on the average of once every 25 years. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year. This estimate is based on 7 inches of excess rainfall which is equal to or exceeds the highest 6 months excess in a year. The average annual excess rainfall is approximately 8 inches. Therefore, an average of 8 inches of excess rainfall will need to be pumped each 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 on the elevation to begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed on this elevation to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established to stop pumping to maintain minimum treatment depth (6 feet). Pumping can be started or stopped any time between these two elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit (weather, soils, crop, and equipment to apply waste without runoff or leaching). Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set, center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be taken when applying waste to prevent runoff from the field or damage to crops. The following items are to be carried out: 1. It is strongly recommended tha 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 pre - charging is completed, flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water 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 B) before land application. 3. Begin pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches eleva- tion 50.00 as marked by permanent markers. Stop pump -out when the fluid level reaches elevation 48.00 or before fluid depth is less than 6 feet deep (this prevents the loss of favorable bacteria). The design temporary storage, less 25 year storm is 127264 cubic feet or 951934 gallons. As stated before, this volume will vary considerably from year to year. 4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.4 inches per hour. 5. Keep vegetation on embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain 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 from the lagoon to stable outlets. 8. Keep a minimum of 100 feet cropland buffer or 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around waste utilization fields, particularly adjacent to ponds, lakes, streams, open ditches, etc. Do not pump within 300 feet of a residence or within 100 feet of a well. 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. NOTES: SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS ---------------------------------------------------------- CLEARING: All trees and brush shall be removed from the construction area before any excavating or fill is started. Stumps will be removed within the area of the foundation of the embankment and fill areas and all excavated areas. All stumps and roots exceeding one (1) inch in diameter shall be removed to a minimum depth of one (1) foot. Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The foundation area shall be loosened thoroughly before placement of embankment material. Lagoon site (and pad site if needed) to be stripped of topsoil (311) and stockpiled for use on dike and pad slopes (2-311). The topsoiling quantity is in excess of amounts specified on page one (1). Cut-off Trench: -------------- A cut-off trench (when specified) shall be installed as shown in the plans. Construction: ------------ Construction of excavated and earthfill areas shall be performed to the neat lines and grades as planned. Deviations from this will require prior approval of the SCS. Earthfill shall be placed in max. of 6" lifts and not placed in standinV water. Compaction shall be performed by the construction equipment or sheeps-foot roller during placement. The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed using the more impervious materials. Construction of fill heights shall include ten (10) percent for settlement. To protect against seepage, when areas of unsuitable material are encountered, the yy will. need to be excavated a minimum of one (1)S foot below grade and backfilled and compacted with a SCS approved material (i.e.-CL,SC,CH). Refer to the soil investigation information in the plans for special considerations. Precautions should be taken during construction to prevent excessive erosion and sedimentation. Vegetation: All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construction according to seeding specifications sheet.

POWELL: ?lease find attached Form SCS-CPA-026 for the tracts you reported to ASCS when jou completed a Highly Erodible Land and Wetland Conservation Certification. Wetland determination may be incomplete in wooded areas and unnumbered fields. 3efore clearing, draining or altering these areas for any use, contact ASCS and complete a new Form AD-1026. Failure to do so could result in loss of eligibility for USDA benefits for all the land you farm. Each field has a Symbol on it which represents its classification. The following symbols apply ,o your farm: Wetlands --clearing, draining or altering these areas to make possible the planting of a commodity crop will result in wetland conversion which would make you ineligible for most USDA programs. W - Inclusions --these soils are predominantly non-hydric but may have inclusions of hydric soils. If you plan to clear in these areas please call the SCS office at 592-7963 to request a field determination. It may be necessary for you to provide cleared right- of-ways in order to flag wet areas. PC - Prior Converted Wetlands --can be cropped and are not affected by the wetland conservation provisions as long as the field is not abandoned (not cropped for 5 successive years). CW - Converted Wetlands --areas of hydric soils that do not have a cropping history between 1981-1985 and/or were converted since December 23, 1985. Growing annually planted crops on this land will result in a loss of USDA program benefits. If this land was cropped between 1981-1985, you must establish a crop history with ASCS to remain eligible for USDA program benefits. CWNA - Converted Wetland--Non-Agricultural Use -Wetlands converted after Nov. 28, 1990 for non-agricultural purposes. These tracts will be reviewed annually.and will lose their exemption if the non- agricultural activity fails or land becomes idle. NW - Not Wetland --areas that do not contain wetland. N - Not Wetland --or-- Highly Erodible e have made every effort to make this determination as fair as possible, but f you feel the determination is incorrect, you have the right to appeal. The ppeal must be in writing and must state the reasons why you believe your ields have been incorrectly determined. The appeal must be made within 15 ays of receipt of this determination.
