Animal Waste Management System
Sampson County
The Division of Water Quality (Division) received your sludge survey information on January 3,
2010. With the survey results, you requested an extension of the sludge survey requirement for
the lagoon at the George McGil1 facility. Due to the amounts of treatment volume available, the
Division agrees that a sludge survey is not needed unti12014 for your lagoon.
The next sludge survey for the lagoon at George McGill facility should b e performed before
December 31, 2014. Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you have any questions,
please call me at (9 19) 715-693 7.

(Design Capacity)
The waste from your animal facility must be land appli~d at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The pLmt nutrients in the animal waste should
be used to reduce the amoun.t 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 ut.iliz.ation 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 availaq~e water holding capacities .. Normally
waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With
speci.a.I 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 ofthese 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 od9r problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop produ~tion
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 couserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
The estimated acres needed to apply ili e animal waste is based on typical nutrient content
for t..llls type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysi~
rcpol1 from your waste management facility. At1a ched you will find inforilliltion on · Q

Dear Mr . McGill:
Subject: Phosphorus Loss Assessment Tool
George McGill Farm
Permit Number NCA282627
Facility 82-627
Sampson County
The Division's records show that a completed PLAT Form has NOT been submitted for this facility. If
our records are in error please resubmit the completed PLAT Form for this farm .
There is a condition in your Animal Waste Management General NPDES Permit addressing the
completion of the Phosphorous Loss Assessment Tool for your animal feeding operation upon
notification by the Division of Water Quality (Division).
Your NPDES Permit Number NCA282627 Condition 1.6 states:
"If prior to the expiration date of this permit either the state or federal government
establishes Phosphorus loss standards that are applicable to land application activities at a
facility operating under this permit, the Permittee must conduct an evaluation of the facility
and its CA WMP under the requirements of the Phosphorus loss standards to determine the
facility's ability to comply with the standards. This evaluation must be documented on
forms supplied or approved by the Division and must be submitted to the Division. This
evaluation must be completed by existing facilities within six (6) months of receiving
notification from the Division.
The method of evaluation is the Phosphorous Loss Assessment Tool (PLAT) developed by NC State
University and the Natural Resources Conservation Service. PLAT addresses four potential loss
pathways: leaching, erosion, runoff and direct movement of waste over the surface. Each field must be
individually evaluated and rated as either low, medium, high or very high according to its Phosphorus
loss potential. The ratings for your farm must be reported to DWQ using the attached certification form.
The PLAT forms must be kept as records on your farm for future reference.
The Division's records show that you received the notification to conduct PLAT on October 11 ,2005. To
avoid possible enforcement action for a violation of your permit, The Division of Water Quality requests
that the following items be addressed:

Sludge Survey Report
George McGill
NCA282627
Sampson County
Dear George McGill:
This letter is to notify you that the subject facility is in violation of its General Permit
NCA282627 Condition III.I6.
Your NPDES Permit Number NCA282627 Condition III.16 states:
"All facilities, which are issued a COC to operate under this permit, shall conduct a
survey of the sludge accumulation in all lagoons within one (l) year of receiving the
COC and every year thereafter. This survey shall include but not be limited to a sketch
showing the depth of sludge in the various locations within each lagoon. This survey
shall be submitted as part of the facility 's annual report in the year it was conducted.
This survey frequency may be reduced if it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the
Division that the rate of sludge accumulation does not warrant an annual survey.
If the sludge accumulation is such that it is greater than the volume for which the lagoon
was designed or reduces the minimum treatment volume to less than the volume for
which the lagoon was designed, a plan must be submitted to the Division's Central Office
within ninety (90) days of this determination which documents removal and waste
utilization procedures to be used."
Our records indicate that the Division has not received the sludge survey results for the year
2004 from your facility. The form was due March l, 2005. To avoid possible enforcement
action for a violation of your permit, please submit the results within thirty (30) days to the
following address:

( ) Any method which in the professional opinion of the State
Veterinarian would make possible the salvage of part of a dead
animal's value without endangering human or animal health. (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 cf 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. Calibrati on 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 ass istance .

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 spells such as the thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means
that at the first s1gns 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 shOJ.lld be pumped down to the low
marker (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage. Every effort should be made to
mainlain 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 I 0-10-10, 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 :
I. separation of jomts
2 . cracks or breaks
3. accumulation of saJts or minerals
4. overall condition of pipes
Lagoon surface---look for:
1. undesirable vegetative ~rowth
2. floating or lodged debns
Embankment---look for:
I . settlement, cracJcing, or "jug " holes
2 . side slope stability---slumps or bulges
3. wet or damp areas on the back slope
4. erosion due to Jack of vegetation or as a result of wave action
5. rodentdarnage
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 <b.rnage 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 fu if there is a threat
of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be revtewed by the
technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious
undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless
recommended by an appropriate technical expert.
Transfer Pumps--<heck 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 thmk about switching, repairing , or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is full ,
your neighbor's ]~goon is full also. You should consider maintaining an inventory of spare
parts or pumps.
Surface water diversion features are desi g ned 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 flushin g
(washing) system pipes and the rainfall th at hits the la g oon directly .
You s hould inspect your diversion system for th e following:
1. adequate vegetation
2. diversion capacity
3 . ridge berm height
Identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system
during or 1mmediately 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 aJso 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 diversion or there may be seepage into the
lagoon from the surrounding land.

Loading:
Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil
surfaces to avoid erosion.
Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before
waste loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes.
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.
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.
Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below
7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of 1 pound per 1000 cubic feet of
lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid
pH is between 7.5 and 8.0.
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.
The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the bette r the
lag?<Jn 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 appl~cator.
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 cropland or
forageland; mvc 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; benn
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 liquid . 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 nutrie nt value.
The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site.
Extra precaution should be used to obse rve the wind direction and other conditions which
could increase th e 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~ 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 fonn in the darn. Once this damage starts, it can quickly cause a large discharge
of wastewater and possible dam failure .

.•
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of su.rflice and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the ani.aul waste should
be used to reduce the amoun.t 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 availaQle 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 SUiface 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 od<;>r 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 conse rve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
The estimated a c res needed to apply tbc animal waste is based on typical nutrient content
for thiS typ e of fa cility. Acreage requirements should be ba sed on th e waste analysis
report from you r w aste nunagernent facility. Attached you wiiJ find information on
