ON FARM RECORDS
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

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

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.

Belvoir Farms, Inc. 1-10.,11-14 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 3622 lbs. of plant available
nitrogen per year in the sludge.
If you remove sludge every 5 years you will have approximately 18108 lbs. of PAN to utilize. Assuming you
apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 lbs. per acre you will need 60
acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 ibs. of nitrogen per acre you will need 145
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

Belvoir Farms. Inc. 1-10,11-14
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.

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 3622 lbs. of plant available
nitrogen per year in the sludge.
If you remove sludge every 5 years you will have approximately 18108 lbs. of PAN to utilize. Assuming you
apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 lbs. per acre you will need 60
acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 lbs. of nitrogen per acre you will need 145
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

Belvoir Farms, Inc. 1-10,11-14
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 property 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

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent ,BAN Q 4 2W
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 IDERR FAYETIE111iLEREGi0NAL0FEiCE
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.
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.
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 nol 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

Belvoir Fann,s, Inc. 1-10,11-14
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.

Belvoir Farms, Inc. 1-10,11-14 Page 3
€'he 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. 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 3622 lbs. of plant available
nitrogen per year in the sludge.
If you remove sludge every 5 years you will have approximately 18108 lbs. of PAN to utilize. Assuming you
apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 lbs. per acre you will need 60
acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 ibs. of nitrogen per acre you will need 145
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

Belvoir Farms, Inc. 1-10.11-14
Page 4
of the sail 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 inrrigate the acres shown in tables.
Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan
invalid.

Dear Mr. McCullen.
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 NCA282422 Condition I.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 CAWMP under the requirements of the Phosphorus loss standards io 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 far future reference.
The Division's records show that you received the notification to conduct PLAT on July 15, 2005. To
avoid possible enforcement action for a violation of your permit, The Division of Water Quality requests
that the following items be addressed:

letter.
2. Consult with your technical specialist and submit a written schedule for completing the PLAT
evaluation.
Failure to comply with the above conditions may result in a civil penalty assessment for the facility.
Please be advised that this notice does not prevent the Division of Water Quality from taking enforcement
actions for any past or future violation. Furthermore, the Division of Water Quality has the authority to
levy a civil penalty of not more than $25,000.00 per day per violation.
Please provide this office with a written response on or before April 17, 2006.
If you have any questions regarding this request, please do not hesitate to contact me at [phone] or

Dear James McCullen:
Based on information submitted with the facility's Animal Facility Annual Certification Form,
the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) is requesting additional information related to the annual
average of animals for the year 2005.
The Certificate of Coverage (COC) NCA282422 of your NPDES Permit states:
"This approval shall consist of the operation of this system, including, but not limited to,
the management of animal waste from the C&J Farms located in Sampson County, with
an animal capacity of no greater than an annual average of 2,710 Feeder to Finish, 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 unnecessary, they may be replaced by
an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4
Silts for every 3 sows."
The Division received your annual certification form on March 06, 2006. On that form, you
indicated that your annual average was 7,237. This exceeds the annual average specified in your
COC of 2,710, To avoid possible enforcement action for a violation of your permit, please
submit the facility's stocking records for the year 2005 within thirty (30) days to the following

Subject: Certificate of Coverage No. NCA282422
C&J and Belvoir Farms
Swine Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Sampson County
Dear James McCullen, Jr.:
On March 14, 2003, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) issued an NPDES General
Permit for swine facilities. The General Permit was issued to enable swine facilities in North Carolina to
obtain coverage under a single permit that addresses both State and Federal requirements.
In accordance with your application received on February 20, 2003 we are hereby forwarding to you this
Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to James McCullen, Jr., authorizing the operation of the subject
animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with NPDES
General Permit NCA200000. The issuance of this COC combines two facilities (82-422 and 82-648) into
one, supercedes and terminates your COC Number AWS820422 and AWS820648 to operate under State
Non -Discharge Permit AWG100000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the C&J and Belvoir Farms, located in Sampson County, with an animal capacity of
no greater than an annual average of 10,060 Feeder to Finish swine and the application to land as
specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management PIan (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 July 1, 2007. 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 slumber of animals.
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed General Permit. Since this is a new joint State and
Federal general permit it contains many new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained
in the current State general permit_ Enclosed for your convenience is a package containing the new and
revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please 12ay careful attention to the record kee in
and monitoring conditions in this Rgrmit. The Devices to Automatically Stop Irrigation Events Form
must be returned to the Division of Water Qualiry no later than 120 days following receipt of the
Certificate of Coverage. The Animal Facilitv Annual Certification Form must be completed and returned
to the Division of Water Quality by -no later than March Ist of each year.Ah

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 you 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 15A 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 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, the Clean Water Act and 40 CFR 122.41 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.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this COC are unacceptable, you have the right to
apply for an individual NPDES Permit by contacting the staff member listed below for information on
this process. Unless such a request is made within 30 days, this COC shall be final and binding.
This facility is located in a county covered by our Fayetteville Regional Office. The Regional Office
Water Quality Staff may be reached at [phone]. If you need additional information concerning
this COC or the General Permit, please contact J. R. Joshi at [phone] ext. 363.
Sincerely,

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface andior 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 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 crown 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 ion 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
nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should
be applied to a crowing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 31) days prior to
planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor
problems.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based o , tvpical nutrient
content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based op. 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, it carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with
t 5A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

AST�UiLfZAT[ON PLAN
REQUIRED 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.
2 There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or
has and agreement for use of adequate land on which 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 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 or flies.
8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when
the surface is frozen.
Pages

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
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 potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils
should be held to a minimum and a suitable wither 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 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).
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 no to reach other property and public right -of
ways.
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 wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by
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 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.
Page 6

18 Waste hackling 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.
19 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 is should only be applied perplant with no further applications
of animal waste during the crop season.
20 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 markers. A marker will be
required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds.
21 Waste shall be tested within 69 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 soils shall be monitored and
alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels.
pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste
analysis records shall be kept for five 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.
22 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina
regulations.

This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agrononuc loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRRI, IRR2, DRY I, DRY2, DRYS, SLUR I, SLUR2,
SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Producer: JAMES MCCULLEN
Location: 1170 THE AVENUE
CLINTON NC 28328
Telephone: [phone]
Type Operation: Existing Feeder to Finish Swine
Number of Animals: 2710.00 hogs
(Design Capacity)
STORAGE STRUCTURE: Anaerobic Waste Treatment Lagoon
APPLICATION METHOD: Irrigation
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 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 be applied to land eroding at less 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 result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed
under DW¢ regulations.
Page: 1

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and
downwind odor problems.
6. 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 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 application 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 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 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.
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
2710 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hags/year = 5149 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
2710 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 6233 lbs. PAN/year
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.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on
the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

-- 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 to 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 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.
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 each of the preceding tables are considered to be the
usable acres excluding required buffers, filter 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 fields 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 1002.7 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 5013.5
pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid
bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you
will need 16.7116666667 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 40.108 acres
of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25's depending on your
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 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 irrigate the acres
shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
Page: 6

amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

rates and amounts.

* 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 limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil
conditions.
Your facility is designed for 180.00 days of temporary storage and the
temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6.00
months. In no instance 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 waste applicator to
ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the
correct rates to the acres shown in Tables 1 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
report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and
the proper application rate prior to applying the waste.

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.
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 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.
5. 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 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 or flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during
rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen.
f 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.
Page: 8

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
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 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 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).
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 a discharge or by over -spraying.
Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided
they have been approved as a land application site by a
"technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on
grassed waterways that discharges 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.
Page: 9

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
18. 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 preplant 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.
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 soils shall be
monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these
metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for
optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste
analysis records shall be kept for five 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.

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 situations 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 al 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 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
r•1_p-,c•f f occ-orred .
C. Leakage from the waste pipes .and sprinklers --action include:
a. Stop recycle (flushing system) pump.
Stop irrigation+ pLIm,J.
c. Close valrc• e1 i T,lri�,t= fur trier crsarge
c. Rc —ear- al l lea prtior to restarting pumps.
D. Leakage from f lush syStem. hcuSem-solids SE�!ar"�tGr S-actl _ns
include.
a. Stop recycle (flushing system) pump.
C. Stop irrigation_ pump.
c. Make. sure no siphon effect has been created.
d. Stop al] flows in the house, flush systems, or- solid
separators.
e. Repair a) 1 leaks prir_+r to restarting pumps.

E. Leakage from base or sidewal1 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 if-, a
submersib.le pump, and pump back into lagoon.
b. If holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove

OPERATION & MAINIENAN+CE PLAN
Froper lagoon liquid rnanageme+nt should be a year-round priority. It is especiaily�
important to manage levels so that you do not have problems during extended ra',ny and
wet periods.
Max`munh storage capalcity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the
receiving crop is dormant- (such as winte+,ime for berrnudagrass) or when there are
extended rainy spells such as the thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means
that at the first signs of plant growth in the later winterlearly 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 availaWe in the lagoon for future wet
periods. In the late summerlearly fell the lagoon should be pumped down to the low
marker (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter sto. age. 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 is maximum storage capaci*y before starting to
irrigate does not leave room for scoring excess water during extended wet period;
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 cornmon 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 SDO pounds per acre of 10-40-10, or
equivalent.
Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This maybe
done by mowing, spraying, grazing, chopping, or a combination of
these practices. Ti is 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 fillir:g of
the lagoon and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. Items to be
checked should include, as a minimun, the following:
Waste Inlet: Pipes, Re yClitng Pipes, and Overflow Pipes ---look for:
I _ separation of joints
2. cracks or breaks
3_ acoumalation of salts ar minerals
4. over2ll condition of pipes

Lagoon surface —look for:
t. undesirable vegetative growth
Z. floating or lodged debris
Embankment --look ;or:
Z . settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes
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 res:tit of wave action
5. ' rodent darnage
Larger lagoons r„ay be Subject to liner damage due to wave acticn 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 dar`-sage caused by wave anion. 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 weakenirr of the earn. if your lagoon has
any of these featLires, you should call an appropriate expert farnil-ar with design and
construction: of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary six 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 heavy equipment is a serious
undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not tze 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, ora large amount of vibration,- may indicate that the pump is in n_ed 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 rnainter.ance 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! iagoon is not the time
to think about switching' repairing , or bcrrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is full,
your neighbor's lagoon is null also. You should consider maintaining an inventory of spare
parrs or pumps.
Surface water diversion features are designed to carry aJ1 surface
drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets,
and parking lot runofrl away from your lagoon and other waste
treatment or storage.5ttrvctures. The only water that should be
coming fro,rn 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:
1. adequate vegetation
2. diversion capacity
3.1 ridge berm he;g,ht
•

- identified problems should be corrected rom fl It is a:;visable to i~:5pec: our
� P• ,. P P Y• ` Y system
during or immediately foilc-,ving a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to
r determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts.
You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and the:-
record the level again 4 to 6 hours aver the rain fassGr;es there is no pumping).. This will -
give you an idea of how much your 12-oor, level will rise wish a certain rainfall amount
(you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in
planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may .
have an 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 z complete sod cover or, bare soil
surfaces to avoid erosion.
2. F li new lagoon design trea:^^ent volume a: least half ;ukl of water be;ore
waste loading begins, takino"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 warrmer weather).
S. it is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy
working swine lagoon in the arnount 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. l; the pH fails below
7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of I pound per ' 000 dubic feet of
lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid
pH is between 7.5 and-8.0.
7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor sirynais inadequate
biological activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is recommended
it these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm
season.
Loading:

lagoon vAll function. Flush SVS'ze.m5 t;,at wasrl v+-aste Into the lagoor, Set'Eral tirne5 daiiv are
optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained
and recharged each day, also work well.

t
Management:
• l
Practice water conservation --minimize building vvater_usage and
spillage fro„ 1 !eaking waterers; broken pipes and washdown throus.- •
proper ma;ntenance and water conservation.
Minimize teed wastage and spirlage by keeping feed ers'acjusted. This
wiii reduce the arnount of solids entering the lagoon
Ntai^fain lagoon hquid level between :he permanent Storage level and
V: e full ternpo-ary storage level.
PlaCe visible markers or stakes on the !agoon bark to show the
minimum liquid level and the.maximurr liquid lever
. Start irrigating at the earliest possible Cate in the spring based on
r,utrierlt .equirements and soil' moistWe so that tennperary sta.-age
v.,J1 ba maximized for the surnmer t,hunderstorrn season:. Similarly,
irrigate in the late surnmeriearly fall to provide maximum laaoor,
storage for the winter.
The lagoon l iruid level -should never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest
point of the dam or embankment.
Do not pump the lagoon liquid level lower -that the permanent storage
level unless you are removing sludge.
Locate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid
5::rface and as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible.
Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-siernmad forage or vegetation,
molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon.
Frequently- remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or
wherever they are installed.
Maintain strict vegetaticn, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges.
7o not allow trees or large bushes to grog,- or, lagoon darn or embankment.
Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is
toll or before it fills 50 percent of the persr,anent storage volume.
If animal production is fo be terminated, the owner is responsibie for
Obtaining and im0lernenting a C!Os°ure p.an to eliminate the possibility of a
pollutant discharge.
Sludge Removal:
Pate of iageon sludge buildup can be re;uc-ed by: `

s proper lagoon sizing,
mechanical solids separation of slushed waste,
gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an ap.propriateiy designedbasin, or
mlinima-zing feed wastage and spillage.
Lagoon sludge that is removed annuatlyr m,her than stored long :errn will:
have more nutrier:is,
have more odor, and • .
require more Ian d to properly use the nutrients.
Removal techniques.
Hire a custom applicator.
Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper-agi.ator impePe-
pump through large -bore spr inkler irrigation sys`_arro onto nearby crol-4nd:
and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; mix remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applica:or: ha:jl
and spread onto cropiand or sorageland; and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland ar
torageland; 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
nuu lent and metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields wi;i be
limited. by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that iie!d 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
atten6icr* by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that"the lagoon liner remains
in act. F you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being ois:urbed, you should
stop t`A activity immediately and not re;umne until you are su-, a that the sludge can be
removed without finer injury. If t�e iiner is damaged it must be repaired as soon} as
possible.
Sludge removed from the lagoon has a nnuch higher phosphorus and heavy metal content
`han Imuid. Because of this it shoL!d probably'---- applied to lard with low phosphorus
and metal levels, as indicated by a soil Iesi, end Jincor posted to reduce the chance of
erosion. Note ti"iat ii the sluOige is applied' to field's with very high soii ies: ahosPhores, it
should be applied only at rites egU'al to tie crop rernoval of phosOzor::s. As wit=+ oLha.
wastes, always nave your lagoon smudge analyzed for its nutrient value.
The appiicatlon of sludge will increase th'e anount of odor at the v, a;te application site.
Extra precaution should be used to observe the L rocsfdirection and other conditions which
could increase the concern 01 neighbors.
