The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface water 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 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 the 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.

1. 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.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials,
cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but
less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are
established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is
frozen. Either of these conditions may in runoff to the surface waters which is not
allowed under DWQ regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crops production and to reduce the potential for
pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days
prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will
conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods
in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different applications methods are
not the same.
The 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. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which

i J & T Nurseries
Page 2
could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving
waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and the crop type.
Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This
waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply
the waste in a timely manner.

,I & T Nurseries . Page 3
The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements. In the future,
regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that
addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen_
In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc. interseeded in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through
grazing, hay and /or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nine
inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain
etc. is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small grain to reach materity,
especially late in the season ( i.e. April or May) Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this'will
definitely interfere with the stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less
nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is the normal
situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage
two to three times during the season, depending on the time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc. is late September or early October . Drilling is recommended over
broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a height of about two inches before drilling for best
results.
Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying summer annuals under stressed conditions. Nitrate poisoning
may occur in livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is recommended.
Acres shown in the tables are considered to be the usable acres excluding required buffers, filters strips along
ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving full application rates due to
equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the field listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres
shown in the tables.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste_
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates.
The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients
or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 438 lbs. of plant available
nitrogen per year in the sludge.
If you remove sludge every 5 years you will have approximately 2189 lbs. of PAN to utilize. Assuming
you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 lbs/acre you will need T
acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 lbs. of nitrogen per acre you will need 18
acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estmates of the PAN and the land needed. Actual
requirements could vary by 25% depending on the sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and
application methods.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that
runoff or Bonding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water
droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity

J & T Nurseries
Page 4
of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of
the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and
irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrrigate the acres shown in tables.
Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan
invalid.

This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed for the
crop is not over applied. In many situations the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the
nitrogen limitations. The maximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the
average of once every 6 months. In no instances should the volume of the waste be stored in your structure
be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour
storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and the waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated
properly to apply the correct rates shown in the tables. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of
nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you have receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the
amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to appling the waste.
NARRATIVE OF OPERATION
Combined waste from the anaerobic lagoon and composting material will not exceed the nutrient

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application.
Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
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 waste. If the producer
does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy 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 facility to
secure an update of the Waste utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation,
increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop
yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level
of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application 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 that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per
year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG
standard 393 - Filter Strip).
5_ Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated
on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland,
the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season
prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate that runoff
does not occur offsite or to the 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 or flies.
$. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is
not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage
from animal waste should also be considered.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a
high potentual 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 residenrial property boundary
and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal
waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be

applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
J & T Nurseries Page 7
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
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 he landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by
discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands
provided they 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 vegtation 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 evidences of
erosion, leakage or discharge.
I& 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 illigal 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 vegetation 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 the 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.
22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually
at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining
element. Zinc and copper levels in the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites
shall be used when these metal approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for
optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept
for five (5) years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3)
years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

Part of Pull #3 and Pull #4A are a new field that are being added to the WUP. Mr. Pearson recently
purchased this field. Due to the time of year, small grain overseed will be established this fall and
coastal bermuda will be sprigged in the Spring of 2004. If for some reason that coastal is not sprigged,
the WUP will need to be revised.

The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. 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 gown, 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.
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 so as to prevent over application of phosphorous when excessive levels of this nutrient are detected in a field.

The Nutrient Management Recommendations table shown below provides an annual summary of the nutrient
management plan developed for this operation. This table provides a nutrient balance for the listed fields and crops
for each year of the plan. Required nutrients are based on the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient
requirements and soil test results. The quantity of nutrient supplied by each source is also identified
The total quantity of nitrogen applied to each crop should not exceed the required amount. However, the quantity of
other nutrients applied may exceed their required amounts. This most commonly occurs when manure or other
byproducts are utilized to meet the nitrogen needs of the crop. Nutrient management plans may require that the
application of animal waste'be limited so as to prevent over application of phosphorous when excessive levels of this
nutrient are detected in a field. In such situations, additional nitrogen applications from nonorganic sources may be
required to supply the recommended amounts of nitrogen.

The Required Soil Test Values shown in the following table provide a summary of recommended actions that should be taken if soil tests indicate
excessive levels of copper or zinc. Fields that receive manure must have an annual soil analysis for these elements. High levels of zinc and copper
can adversely affect plant growth. Alternative crop sites must be used when the concentration of these metals approach excessive levels. Site life can
be estimated by dividing the amount of copper and zinc to be applied in Ibs/acre by 0.036 and 0.071, respectively and multiplying the result by 0.85.
By adding this quantity to the current soil index for copper or zinc, we can predict life of the site for waste disposal.
In addition to copper and zinc indices, this table also provides a summary of lime recommendations for each crop based on the most recent soil
sample. Application of lime at recommended rates is necessary to maintain soil pH in the optimum range for crop production .

The following Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization table provides an estimate of the number of acres needed for
sludge utilisation for the indicated accumulation period. "these estimates are based on average nitrogen
concentrations for each source, the numberof animals in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application
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 betaken not to load effluent application fields with
high amounts ofcopper 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 Available Waste Storage Capacity table provides an estimate of the number of days of storage
capacity available at the end of each month of the plan. Available storage capacity is calculated as the
design storage capacity in days minus the number of days of net storage volume accumulated The start
date is a value entered by the 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 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.

Crop Notes
The following crop note applies to field(s): 1, 2, 3, 4A, 4B, 5
Small Grain: CP, Mineral Soil, medium leachable
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 lbs/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): 1, 2, 3, 4A, 4B, 5
Bermudagrass: CP, Mineral Soil, Moderately Well Drained.
Adaptation: Well -adapted.
In the Coastal Plain, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. l to Mar. 31. Cover sprigs 1"to 3"
deep (1.5" optimal). Sprigs should be planted quickly after digging and not allowed to dry in sun and
wind. For Coastal and Tifton 78 plant at least 10 bu/ac in 3' rows, spaced 2' to 3' in the row. Generally a
rate of 30 bu/ac is satisfactory to produce full groundcover in one or two years under good growing
conditions. Tifton 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bu/ac in 1.5' to 2' rows spaced V to 1.5' in row.
For broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 50 bu/ac_ Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus,
potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 100 lb/ac N in
the establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply 180 to 240
lb/ac N annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts.
Reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization
of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for more information or consult your regional agronomist or
extension agent for assistance.

Subject: Sludge Compliance Requirement Change
Dear Permittee:
In accordance with Condition III.19 of State General Permit AWG100000, your facility is
required to maintain compliance regarding sludge accumulation in your animal waste treatment
lagoon(s). As you know, the previous compliance limit was to have a minimum of four (4) feet
of treatment depth between the designed stop pump and the average elevation of the top of the
sludge blanket. This requirement was based on NRCS Standard No. 359, which was recently
modified.
As of July 2008, Standard No. 359 does not use the 4-foot requirement. Sludge compliance is
now to be based on the sludge volume as a percentage of the total treatment volume. The revised
Standard states that sludge accumulation in the permanent treatment zone must be less than 50%
of the planned treatment volume. Also, there must be a minimum of 2.5 feet of liquid above the
sludge at the pump intake location. If either of these conditions is not met then sludge must be
removed or managed in accordance with an approved Plan of Action for Lagoon Sludge
Reduction (POA). A new sludge survey worksheet has been developed to calculate sludge and
treatment volumes to determine compliance.
Our records indicate that you have filed a Sludge POA for one or more of the lagoons at your
facility. Based on the changes to the sludge requirements in Standard No. 359, your lagoon(s)
may -already be in compliance without any sludge removal. Using your lagoon design (or as -
built information) and current sludge survey measurements, complete the NEW sludge survey
worksheet. If you have any difficulty in locating or understanding your lagoon design
information, please contact your technical specialist or county Soil & Water office.

Swine Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Sampson County
On June 11, 2004, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) issued a revised State General
Permit for swine facilities. The General Permit was issued in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill
733 (Session Law 2003-28).
In accordance with your application received on February 5, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of
Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to H. Mark
Pearson, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land
application system in accordance with General Permit AWG 100000. The issuance of this COC
supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS820334 which expires October 1, 2004.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the J & T Nurseries, located in Sampson County, with an animal capacity of no
greater than an annual average of 6080 Wean to Feeder swine and the application to land as specified in
the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or
Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary,
they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a
rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2009. Pursuant to this COC,
you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as
specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting
and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this
facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number
of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and
this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Since this is a revised State
General Permit, it contains new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained in the
previous State General Permit. Enclosed for your convenience is a package containing the new and
revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please pay careful attention to the record keeping
and monitoring conditions in this permit.

If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, careful evaluation
of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is
inaccurate y_ou Will.need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed.
The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property.
Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit
documentation to the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to restocking
of the facility.
Per l 5A NCAC 2H .0225(c) a compliance boundary is provided for the facility and no new water supply
wells shall be constructed within the compliance boundary. Per NRCS standards a 100 foot separation
shall be maintained between water supply wells and any lagoon, storage pond, or any wetted area of a
spray field.
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the General Permit
or the CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance with NCGS 143-
215.6A through 143-215.6C including civil penalties, criminal penalties, and injunctive relief.
If you wish to continue the activity permitted under the General Permit after the expiration date of the
General Permit, an application for renewal must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration.
This COC is not automatically transferable. A name/ownership change application must be submitted to
the Division prior to a name change or change in ownership.

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface water 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 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 the 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.
1. 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.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials,
cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but
less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are
established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils , when it is raining, or when the surface is
frozen. Either of these conditions may in runoff to the surface waters which is not
allowed under DWQ regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crops production and to reduce the potential for
pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days
prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will
conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods
in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different applications methods are
not the same.
The 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. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which

H. Mark Pearson Farm
Page 2
could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving
waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and the crop type.
Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This
waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply
the waste in a timely manner.

H. Mark Pearson Farm Page 3
The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements. In the future,
regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that
addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen.
In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc. interseeded in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through
grazing, hay and for silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nine
inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain
etc. is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small grain to reach materity,
especially late in the season ( i.e. April or May) Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will
definitely interfere with the stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less
nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is the normal
situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage
two to three times during the season, depending on the time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc. is late September or early October . Drilling is recommended over
broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a height of about two inches before drilling for best
results.
Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying summer annuals under stressed conditions. Nitrate poisoning
may occur in livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is recommended.
Acres shown in the tables are considered to be the usable acres excluding required buffers, filters strips along
ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving full application rates due to
equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the field listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres
shown in the tables.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. Th(
sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or
other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 893 lbs. of plant available
nitrogen per year in the sludge.
If you remove sludge every 5 years you will have approximately 4464 lbs. of PAN to utilize. Assuming yo
apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 lbs/acre you will neec is
acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 lbs. of nitrogen per acre you will need 36
acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estmates of the PAN and the land needed. Actual
requirements could vary by 25% depending on the sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and
application methods.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that
runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water
droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity

H. Mark Pearson Farm
Page 4
of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of
the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and
irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrrigate the acres shown in tables.
Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan
invalid.

This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed for the
crop is not over applied. In many situations the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the
nitrogen limitations. The maximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the
average of once every 6 months. In no instances should the volume of the waste be stored in your structure
be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour
storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and the waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operate
properly to apply the correct rates shown in the tables. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of
nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you have receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the
amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to appiing the waste.

This plan will be implemented in the event that waste from your operation are leaking,
overflowing, or running off the site. You should NOT wait until wastes reach surface
waters or leave your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make
every effort to ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be posted in an
accessible location for all employees at the facility. The following are some action items
you should take.
1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be
possible. Suggested response to problems are listed below:
A_ Lagoon overflow -possible solutions are:
a. Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam, any permanent alteration of the
dam should be approved by a qualified technical specialist.
b. Pump wastes to field at an acceptable rate.
c. Stop all additional flow to the lagoon, hold wastes in the house if possible.
d. Call a pumping contractor.
e. Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon.
B. Runoff from wastes application field -action include:
a. Immediately stop wastes application.
b. Create a temporary diversion or berm to contain the waste.
c. Incorporate waste to reduce further runoff.
d. Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s) that caused the runoff.
e. Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred.
C. Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinkler -action includes:
a. Stop recycle (flushing system) pump.
b. Stop irrigation pump.
c. Close values to eliminate further discharge.
d. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
D. Leakage from flush system, houses, solids separators -action includes:
a. Stop recycle (flushing system) pump.
b. Stop irrigation pump.
c. Make sure no siphon effect has been created.
d. Stop all flows in the house, flush systems, or solid separators.
e. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
E_ Leakage from base or sidewalI of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed to
flowing leaks -possible action:

a. Dig a small sump or ditch to catch all seepage, put in a submersible pump, and
pump back into lagoon.
b. If holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill holes
and compact with a clay type soil.
c. Have a professional evaluate the condition of the sidewalls and the lagoon
bottom as soon as possible.
2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages.
a. Did the waste reach any surface waters?
b. Approximately how much was released and what duration?
c. Any damage noted, such as employee injury, fish kills, or property damage?
d. Did the spill leave the property?
e. Does the spill have the potential to reach surface waters?
f. Could a future rain event cause the spill to reach surface waters?
g. Are potable water wells in danger (either on or off of the property)?
h. How much reached surface waters?
3. Contact appropriate agencies.
a. During normal business hours, call your DWQ (Division of Water Quality)
regional office, at 910-486-1541, after hours, emergency number: 1-800-858-

❑ Clean up spillage on a routine basis (e.g., 7 - 10
day interval during summer; I5-30 day interval
during winter).
Deed Storage Accumulations of feed residues O Reduce moisture accumulation within and
around immediate perimeter of feed storage
areas by insuring drainage away from site
and/or providing adequate containment (e.g.,
covered bin for brewer's grain and similar high
moisture grain products)..
❑ Inspect for and remove or break up accumulated

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified
rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant
nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of
commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where waste
is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the
limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application
cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant
nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization
plan in 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 infilitration
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 pre-
cautions, 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 drift
and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of the 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.
This plan is based on waste application through irrigation for this
is the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you
choose to inject the waste in the future, you need to revise this
plan. Nutrient levels for injecting waste and irrigating waste are
not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage require-
ments should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste
management facility. Attached you will find information on proper
sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to
the lab for analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements
for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission.

- Indicates that this field is being overseeded (i.e. interplanted)
or winter annuals follow summer annuals.
In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded
in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing,
hay and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed
when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle
should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four
inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed
for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small
grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too
high and this will definitely interfere with the stand of
bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced
yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than
cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as
is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small
grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or
silage two to three times during the season, depending on
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late
September or early October. Drilling is recommended over
broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a
height of about two inches before drilling for best results_
* Acreage figures may exceed total acreage in fields due to
overseeding.

NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic
land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be
nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent
over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production
facility will produce approximately 740 pounds of plant
available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the sludge that will need to be
removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when broadcasting
the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well
special equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE
See attached map showing the fields to be used for of
waste water.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of
the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs.
This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure,
soil texture, water droplet size, and 'organic solids. The application
amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the
soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen
applied exceed the nitrogen n eds of e crop.
90 t
Your facility is designed for ]Q-'5 oays of temporary storage
and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every
5 months. in no instance should the volume of waste being s%ored in
your S-riiCture be within 2 Feet of the top of the dike.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan,
it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensue
that an irrigation system. is installed to properly irrigate the acres
shown in Tables I and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of Nitrogen shown: in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis reporzi
for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper
application rate prior to applying the waste.
NARRATIVE OF OPERATION:
This plan reflects a 20% reduction in Plant Available Nitrogen
used for the calculations of two stage waste management systems.
Fields that border adjacent property owners have a reduction in
acerage due to 25 foot borders.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE 7
Plans and Specifications
Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff,
drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge
during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which
reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject
to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division
of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues.
2. The Field Office must have documentation;in the design folder that
the producer either owns or has long terra access to adequate
land to properly dispose of waste. If the producer does not own
adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS
with a copy of a written agreement with a landowner who is within
a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for
waste application for the life expectancy of the production
facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility
to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is
a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals,
method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the
Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type,
available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that
restrict the rate of application for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource
Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System
(ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater
than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips
will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter
strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM.
(See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips afid Standard 390
Interim Riparian Forest Buffers).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after
waste application. Waste should not be applied when the
wind is blowing.
6. when animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to
flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally
tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops
or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the
application does not occur during a season prone to
flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in
the NRCS Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil
infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or
to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift
from the site during application. No ponding should occur
in order to control conditions conducive to odor or flies
and to provide uniformity of application.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during
rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen.
Animal waste shall be applied on activelylgrowing crops in
such a manner that no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf
area is covered_

WASTE UTILIZATION PLzAN PAGE 8
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for
spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for
leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils
should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover
crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall
not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of a
crop on bare soil.-
11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to
surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that
are not perennial provided adequate vegetat-'ve filter strips
are present. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips)
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of
dwellings other than those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other
property and public right -of ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters,
drainageways, or wetlands by discharge or by over -spraying.
Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands
provided they have been approved as a land application site
by a "technical specialist". Animal waste should not be
applied on grassed waterways that discharge into water
courses, except when applied at agronomic rates and the
application causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities,
showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into
the animal waste management system.
17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures
must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate
storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to
one (1) foot mandatory freeboard.
18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be
established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments,
berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation
shall be provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as
necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as
trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to
areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be
kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures
should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage
or discharge.
19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or
terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and imple-
menting a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility
of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
20. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should
be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks,
and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept
on site.

OWNER / MANAGER AGREEMENT
I (we) understand and will follow and implement the specifications -
and the operation and maintenance procedures established in the ap-
proved animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above. I
(we) know that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the
waste treatment and/or storage system or construction of new
facilities will require a new utilization plan and;a new certification.
to be submitted to DEM before the new animals are'stocked.
I (we) understand that I must own or have access to equipment,
primarily irrigation equipment, totland apply the animal waste
described in this waste utilization plan. This equipment must be
available at the appropriate pumping time such that no discharge
occurs from the lagoon in a 25-year 1-day storm event. I also cer-
tify that the waste will be applied on the land according to this
plan at the appropriate times and at rates that no runoff occurs.

This plan will be -implemented in the event that wastes from your'
operation are leaking, overflowing, or running off the site. You should
NOT wait until wastes reach surface waters or leave your property to
consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to
ensure that this does not.happen. This plan should be posted in an
accessible location for all employees at the facility. The following
are some action items you should take.
1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the -situation, this may
or may not be possible. Suggested responses to problems are
listed below:
A. Lagoon overflow --possible solutions are:

a. Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam, any
permanent alteration of the dam should be approved by a
qualified technical specialist.
b. Pump wastes to field at an acceptable rate.
c. Stop all additional flow to the lagoon -hold waste in the
house if possible.
d. Call a pumping contractor.
e. Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon.
B. Runoff from waste application field -action include:
a. Immediately stop waste application.
b. Create a temporary diversion or term to contain the
waste.
c. Incorporate waste to reduce further runoff.
d. Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s) that caused the
runoff.
e. Evaluate the application rates for the fields where
r1inof f occurred.
C. Leakage from the waste pipes =end sprinklers -action include:
a. Stop recycle (flushing system) pimp.
s. Istop irrigation pump.
c. Close valves to eliminate -further dis:.narge_
c. Reps it all leak:_ prior to restarting pumps.
D. Leakage from flush system, houses solids separators-actic.ns
include:
a. Stop recycle (flushing system) pump.
b. Stop irrigation pump.
c. Make sure no siphon effect has been created.
d. Stop all flows in the house, flush systems, or solid
separators.
e. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.

E. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often this is seepage
as opposed to flowing leaks -possible action:
a. Dig a smal-l'sump-or ditch to catch all seepage. put in a
submersible pump, and pump back into l.adoon.
b. If .hales are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove
animals and fill holes and compact with a clay type soil.
c. Have a professional evaluate the condition of the side
walls and -the lagoon .bottom as soon as. possible.
2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages.
a. Did the waste reach.any surface waters?
b. Approximately how much was released and for what
duration?
c.,Any damage noted, such as employee injury, fish kills, or
property damage?
d. Did the spill leave the property

Excessive Vegetative • Decaying vegetation iY Maintain vegetative control along banks of
Growth lagoons and other impoundments to prevent
accumulation of decaying vegetative matter
along watees edge on impoundment's perimeter.
Feeders • Feed Spillage O Design, operate and maintain feed systems (e.g.,
bunkers and troughs) to minimize the
accumulation of decaying wastage.
❑ Clean up spillage on a routine basis (e.g., 7 - 10
day interval during summer; 15-30 day interval
during winter).
Feed Storage • Accumulations of feed residues Cl Reduce moisture accumulation within and
around immediate perimeter of feed storage
areas by insuring drainage away from site
and/or providing adequate containment (e.g.,
covered bin for brewer's grain and similar high
moisture grain products).
❑ Inspect for and remove or break up accumulated
solids in filter strips around feed storage as
needed.

FRYETTEVILLEProper laaoon liquid management 5hotrid IL-e a year-round priority. It is especia:lyREG.FRCEa
irnportant to manage levels so that you uo not have problems dur,ng extended ra:ny a-d
Wet periods.
Maximum storage capacity should be available ',n the lagoon for periods when the
receiving crop is dormar:t.(such as wintertime for bermudagrass) or when there are
extended rainy spells such as the thunderstorm, season ir. M summertime. This means
that at the first signs of plant growth in the later winter/early spring, irriga±ion according to
a Tarrn waste management plan should be done wheneve, the land is dry enough .o
receive lagoo„ hauid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future we:
periods. In the fate surnmerlearly fali the lagoon should be pumped down to the low
marker (see Figure 2-1) to aliow 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 ;vill allow it.
Waiting until the lagoon has reached' its maximnurn storage capacizzy before stanins to
irrigate does not leave room for storing excess water during extended we periods.
Overflow from the lagoon Tor any reason except a 25-';rear, 2=-hour storm is a violation of
stare law and subject to penalty anion.
The routine maintenance of a laaoon 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 ferilized with 800 pounds per acre of 10-; 0-10, 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. T'r.is should be done at least once a year and
possibly twice in years that weather conditions are favorable for
heavy vegetative growth.
N'0: E: If vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to enter
the lagoon water. Such chemicals coulc 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 storrn evants. Iterns to be
.hacked should include, as a minimun, the following:
Waste Inlet Pipes, ;Zecy-Cling Pipes, and Overflow Pipe_ ---look for:
1. separation or joints
2. cracks or breaks
accumulation of salts or minerals
overall condition or pipes

•
Lagoon surface --look ;or:
1. y 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. 1 welt or damp areas on the back: slope
-4. erosion due to lack of vegetation or a; a res.-lt of wave action
5. rodent damage
Larger lagoons may be subject to ling damage due to wave action caused by stronsz
winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon dam.
A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential darnage c2Lsed by wave :ration. if
wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffles iri t4he'•agoon may be
used to reduce the wave irnpacts. -
$Nnv of these features could lead to erosion artd weakenirrg cf rn? �_:-n. iT your lagoon has
any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert fami;iar with design and
Co"Sty uctio^ of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary fix if there i5 a threat
of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solurion should be reviewed by the
technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious
undertaking with potentiaily serious consequences and should not oe conduc—ted unless
recommended by an appropriate technical expert.
Transfer Pumps --check for proper operation of:
I . 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 ful' lagoon is not the time
to think about switching, repairing , or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is full,
your neighbor's lagoon is lull also. You should consider maintaining an inventory of spare
par*; or pumps.
Surface water diversion features are designed to carr%, all surface
drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gu ter outlets,
and parking lot runofri away from your lagoon and c,her waste
treatment or storage tructures. The only waver that should be
coming from your lagoon is that which comes from: your flushing
(washing) system pipes and the rain;a;l that hits the -'agoon directly.
You should inspect your diversion system for the following:
1. adequate vegetation
2. diversion rapacity

surface and as Tar away from the drainpipe inlets ass possible.
Prevent additions of bedding materials, long -steered forage or vegetation,

wherever they are installed.

Sludge Removal:
Rate of lagoon sludgy hu:idap can he reduced by:

1 of
proper lagoon sizing,
mechanical soiids separation of flushed waste,
gravity settling of flushed waste solids in are apppropriateiy designed basin, or
- mir;im;zing feed wastage and spillage.
Lagoon sludge that is removed annuatly rather than stork! long 'erm will:
have more nutrients,
have more odor, and
recuire more land to proper'.y use the nutrients.
Removal techniques:
Hire a custom applicator.
Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper -agitator imp-J!e-
pump though large-ibore sprinkler irrigation systerr. onto nsai Uy cr Cir :amd:
an-c soil incorporator.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby crop:ano or
forageland;'nix remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator; ha: !
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 rnanure 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 wi,l be
limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field and crop
xequh-ernent. Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3.
When removing sludge, you must also pay ai*ention to the liner to prevent damage. Close
atten:ien by the pumper or drag -line operator wall ensure that the !agoon liner remains
in act. V you see soil material or the Synthetic !:ner materiel being disturbed, you should
stop t ne activity immediately and no- ras�lme 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 heave metal content
`han liquid. Because of this it shou.d probably be applied to lard with low phosphor_�s
and metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reds;ce the chance of
erosion. Note that if the sludge is applied zo fields with very high soii-test phosphorus, it
should be applied only at rates equa! to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other
wastes, always'nave your lagoon smudge analyzed for its nutrient value.
i re application of sludge will increase the arnount of odor at the waste application: site.
Extra precaution should be used to obse ve the wind direction and other conditions which
could increase the concern of neighbors.

identified problems should be corrected promptly. i! is advisable to i!:spect 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 la oon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then
record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain fassumes there is no pumping). This will
give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a cert' 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 inflow problem from a surface water diversi n or there may be seepage into the
lagoon from the surrounding land.
La-oon Operation
Startup:
l . Immediately after construction establish a cornolete sod cover on bare soil
suraces to avoid erosion.
2. rill ne-w lagoon design trea:r ent volume a, least half full of water before
waste loading begins, takingcare not to --roue lining or bank slopes.
.3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible ripe 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. ;
;. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize
bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather)_
�. 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 Iiquid pH. If the pH rails below
7.0, add agricultural lire at the rate of 7 pound per 7 000 dubic feet of
lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Ootimum lagoon liquid
PH is between 7.5 and 8.0.
7. A dark color, lack of bubbling: ar,c excessive odor signals inadequate
biological activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is recommended
if these conditions occur for pro!ongeti periods, especially during the warm
season.
Loading:
The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, 1, be Lei tl e
lagoon will function. Flush systems that %vasrl waste into the lagoon several times daily are
optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which cne or more buiidinq's are drained
and recharged each day, also work well.
