Plan Amendment ' ENG
This waste management plan was amended on March 6, 2013 to change
Tract 10162 Field 4 from Millet/Rye Pasture to Fescue Pasture. The lbs. of
N/ 1,000 gal were updated to reflect the current numbers from the most
recent waste analysis. This number was averaged over a three year time
period using the Nitrogen available from the liquid slurry as well as the
irrigated liquid.

Narrative
Rocky Ridge swine farm produces 12,024 lbs PAN/ year. This figure is based on 4,913,100
gallons of waste produced by 5300 head of finishing hogs. Included are the most recent waste analysis
and soil reports. The wettable acres for the onsite fields were determined by Environmental Engineering
Services. Waste will be pumped from the 3rd stage waste storage pond. The Nitrogen content of the
storage pond is lower than the state average because the first two stages are anaerobic lagoons in which
some nutrient breakdown is occurring.
In an effort to remove sludge build up in the first two stages, the operator will periodically agitate
the lagoons and remove the slurry for land application off the farm. A waste sample will be taken of this
slurry to determine the correct agronomic application rate.
Included in this plan is a listing of each field, crop, and application method. The operator will be
using a combination of traveler irrigation and liquid spreader to apply the waste. Eventually, the
Millet/Rye fields will be converted to Hybrid Bermuda and the WUP changed accordingly.
This plan has been amended on March 6, 2013. Tract 10162 field 4 was changed from millet and rye
pasture to fescue pasture.

The table shown below provides a summary of the crops or rotations included in this plan for each field. Realistic Yield estimates
are also provided for each crop, as well as the crop's P205 Removal Rate. The Leaching Index (LI) and the Phosphorous Loss
Assessment Tool (PLAT) Rating are also provided for each Feld, where available.
If a field's PLAT Rating is High, any planned manure application is limited to the phosphorous removal rate of the harvested plant
biomass for the crop rotation or multiple years in the crop sequence. Fields with a Very High PLAT Rating should receive no
additional applications of manure. Regardless of the PLAT rating, starter fertilizers may be recommended in accordance with
North Carolina State University guidelines or recommendations. The quantity of P205 applied to each crop is shown in the
following table if the field's PLAT rating is High or Very High,

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 grown, their nutrient requirements, and proper timing of applications
to maximize nutrient uptake.
This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or other
by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each field in order to supply the
indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is included in the table to ensure that the
plan adequately provides for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation.

The Irrigation Application Factors for each field in this plan are shown in the following table. Infiltration rate varies with
soils. If applying waste nutrients through an irrigation system, you trust apply at a rate that will not result in runoff. This table
provides the maximum application rate per hour that maybe applied to each field selected to receive wastewater. It also lists
the maximum application amount that each field may receive in any one application event.

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 following Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization table provides an estimate of then umber of acres needed for sludge
utifization for the indicated accumulation period. These estimates are based on average nitrogen concentrations for each
source, the number of 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 of
copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water moving to streams and
lakes, phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a concern.

The 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.

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
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 that reaches surface
water is prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either
owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly
apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly
dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a
landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use
of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the
waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Management
Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of
animals, method of application, receiving crop type, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs
for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical
data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are
regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre
per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips
are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field Office
Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste
application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from
the land application field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will
be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is
applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be
broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone
to flooding (see "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance).
- --- ---- --------------------------------.-------------------- ----------------------------------------------------.......
430942 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 3/6/2013 Specification Page I

7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate
such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a
method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No
ponding should occur in order to control odor and flies.
S. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events,
or when the soil surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner
that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit
growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be
considered.
10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring
planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient
loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable
winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be
applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages
breaking dormancy.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with
the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is
applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least
50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste,
other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995,
shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters.
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other
than those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public
right-of-ways.
........... ...... ............ ...... ------- ... .. .. .. .............
430942 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 3/6/2013 Specification Page 2

15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways,
or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be
applied to prior converted cropland provided the fields have been
approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal
waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly
into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied
at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets,
sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management
system.
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all
disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall
be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees,
shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where
considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and
accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for
evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge.
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 pre -plant
with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom
elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste
treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level
between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum
storage volume for waste storage ponds.
------------------------------ --------------------------................. .......... ........... ...------------- I............. ...................... ......
430942 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 3/6/2013 Specification Page 3

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 nutrient, unless other restrictions require
waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower
application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the
soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these
metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and maintained for
optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept
for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall
be maintained for a minimum of three years.
Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five
(5) years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina
regulations.

Crop Notes
The following crop note applies to field(s): 6
Bermudagrass Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, Well Drained to Excessively Drained
Adaptation: Well -adapted.
In the Coastal Plain, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. 1 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 of30 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 I' to 1.5' in row.
For broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus,
potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Sulfur will be needed on
deep sands with high leaching. Apply 60 to 100 Ib/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. For better soils the N rate can be increased to 300
Ib/ac. 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.
The following crop note applies to field(s): 1 B, 2, 3
Bermudagrass: Piedmont
Adaptation: Moderate to Well -adapted.
In the Piedmont, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. l to Mar. 31. Cover sprigs l" 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 l' to 1.5' in row.
For broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test,for the amounts of lime, phosphorus,
potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 100 Ib/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.
Winter -kill is a frequent problem in the Upper Piedmont; Coastal is not adapted there. Tifton 44 is the
most cold -hardy cultivar. 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.

Fescue: Piedmont
Adaptation: Well -adapted.
In the Piedmont, tall fescue can be planted Aug. 20 to Oct. 10 (best) and Feb. 15 to Mar. 20. For
pure -stand broadcast seedings use 20 to 30 lb/ac., for drilled use 15 to 20 Ib/ac. seed. Use certified seed
to avoid introducing weeds or annual ryegrass. Plant seed 0.25" to 0.5" deep for pure stands, 0.25" in
mixture with clovers. Soil test for preplant and maintenance lime, phosphorus, and potassium
recommendations. Apply 40 to 60 Ib/ac nitrogen at planting for pure stands only. Do not apply N for
mixtures with clovers but use proper legume inoculation techniques. Apply 150 to 200 Ib/ac. N to
pure -stand fescue for hay production; reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Apply N Feb. 1 to Mar. 20 and
Aug. 20 to Sept. 30, with equal amounts in each window. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305
Production and Utilization of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for additional information or
consult your regional agronomist or extension agent for assistance.
The following crop note applies to ficld(s): I B, 2, 3
Small Grain: Piedmont
In the Piedmont, oats and barley should be planted from October 1-October 25; and rye from October
15-November 10. 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
Fescue: Piedmont

Nutrient concentrations and other data on this report are provided so that waste materials can be applied at agronomic rates, thereby supplementing or reducing fertilizer application and
preventing environmental contamination. In reading the Laboratory Results section, remember that materials with < 15% dry matter (generally liquids) are analyzed as received; all
other wastes are dried first. Values in the Estimate of Nutrients Available for First Crop section are based on the type of waste and method of application you specify and reflect the
fact that only 40-60% of the nitrogen and 70-100% of other nutrients become available within one year of application. The remainder may or may not ever become available.
' ppm = parts per million; S = siemens; mS = millisiemens; T = trace (<0.005 lb/unit), EC = electrical conductivity; CCE = calcium carbonate equivalence; ALE = agricultural time
equivalence; pH = acidity or basicity; DM% = % dry matter [for semi -solid and solid waste samples, this value facilitates conversion of dry -basis concentrations (ppm) back to wet -basis
of original sample]; C:N ratio = carbon:nitrogen ratio.

Dear Johnny Williams:
The Division of Water Quality (Division) received your sludge survey information on January
30, 2011. With the survey results, you requested an extension of the sludge survey requirement
for the three lagoons at Rocky'Ridge Farm facility. Due to the amount of treatment volume
available, the Division agrees that a sludge survey is not needed until 2014 for all three lagoons.
The next sludge survey at this facility should be performed before December 31, 2014. Thank
you for your attention to this matter. Please call me at [phone] if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Miressa D. Garoma

Narrative
Rocky Ridge swine farm produces 12,836 lbs PAN/ year. This figure is based on 4,913,100
gallons of waste produced by 5300 head of finishing hogs and a sampled waste analysis of 3.6 lbs
PAN/1000 gallons of effluent. Included is the most recent waste analysis report dated 7/26/2007 and soil
reports dated 09119/2007. The wettable acres for the onsite fields were determined by Environmental
Engineering Services. Waste will be pumped from the 3rd stage waste storage pond. The Nitrogen
content of the storage pond is lower than the state average because the first two stages are anaerobic
lagoons in which some nutrient breakdown is occurring.
In an effort to remove sludge build up in the fast two stages, the operator will periodically agitate
the lagoons and remove the slurry for land application off the farm. A waste sample will be taken of this
slurry to determine the correct agronomic application rate.
.Included in this plan is a listing of each field, crop, and application method. The operator will be
using a combination of traveler irrigation and liquid spreader to apply the waste. Eventually, the
Millet/Rye fields will be converted to Hybrid Bermuda and the WUP changed accordingly.

The table shown below provides a summary of the crops or rotations included in this plan for each field. Realistic Yield estimates
are also provided for each crop, as well as the crop's P205 Removal Rate. The Leaching Index (LI) and the Phosphorous Loss
Assessment Tool (PLAT) Rating are also provided for each field, where available.
If a field's PLAT Rating is High, any planned manure application is limited to the phosphorous removal rate of the harvested plant
biomass for the crop rotation or multiple years in the crop sequence. Fields with a Very High PLAT Rating should receive no
additional applications of manure. Regardless of the PLAT rating, starter fertilizers may be recommended in accordance with
North Carolina State University guidelines or recommendations. The quantity of P205 applied to each crop is shown in the
following table if the field's PLAT rating is High or Very High.

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 neede
to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements, and proper timing of applicatit
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
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 flit
plan adequately provides for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation.

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 following Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization table provides an estimate of the number of acres needed for sludge
utilization for the indicated accumulation period. These estimates are based on average nitrogen concentrations for each
source, the number of 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 be taken not to load effluent application fields with high amounts of
copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water moving to streams and
lakes, phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very, high phosphorous levels may also be a concern.

The 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 lbs/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 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.

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
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 that reaches surface
water is prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either
owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly
apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly
dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a
landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use
of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the
waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Management
Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of
animals, method of application, receiving crop type, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs
for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical
data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are
regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre
per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips
are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field Office
Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste
application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from
the land application field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will
be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is
applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be
broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone
to flooding (see "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------
748871 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 10/22/2007 Specification Page 1

7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate
such that runoff does not occur offshe or to surface waters and in a
method which does not cause drill from the site during application. No
ponding should occur in order to control odor and flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events,
or when the soil surface is frozen. t
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner
that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit
growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be
considered.
10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring
planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Wastelnutrient
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 firom a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least
50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste,
other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1,1995,
shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters.
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other
than those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public
right-of-ways.
..................................................................................................................................................................
748871 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 10/22/2007 Specification Page 2

15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways,
or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be
applied to prior converted cropland provided the fields have been
approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal
waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly
into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied
at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets,
sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management
system.
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all
disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc. Areas shall
be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees,
shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where
considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and
accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for
evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge.
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 pre -plant
with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom
elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste
treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level
between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum
storage volume for waste storage ponds.
---------------- ------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
748871 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 10/22/2007 Specification Page 3

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 nutrient, unless other restrictions require
waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower
application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the
soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these
metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and maintained for
optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept
for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall
be maintained for a minimum of three years.
Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five
(S7 years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina
regulations.

The following crop note applies to field(s): IA, 4
Cereal/Annual Rye Overseeded — Hay
CEREAL RYE
The cereal rye should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to'get winter growth. The
most consistent stands are obtained from drilling rye into short (less than 3 inches tall) bermudagrass sod.
If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short bermuda sod followed by a light
cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The- seeding rate for broadcast planting of seeds should be
1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda
prior to August 31. An application of 50 lbs/acre of Plant Available N (PAN) may be applied between
September 15 and October 30. An additional 50 lbs.acre of PAN may be applied in February -March. If
rye growth is harvested on time and does not significantly shade the Bermuda, PAN rates for the
subsequent bermuda crop are based on realistic yields of Bermuda. A harvest is required prior to heading
or April 7, which ever comes first. This is necessary to minimize the potential for shading bermuda and
reducing its yields.
ANNUAL RYEGRASS
Annual ryegrass should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter growth.
The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling ryegrass into short (less than 3 inches tall)
bermudagrass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short bermuda sod followed
by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate for broadcast planting of seeds
should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last application of animal waste is to be applied to the
bermuda prior to August 31. An application of 50 Ibs/acre of PAN may be applied between September
15 and October 30. An additional 50 lbs. acre of PAN may be applied in February -March. If additional
PAN is applied to the ryegrass in April -May, the PAN rate for the bermuda must be reduced by a
corresponding amount. This is necessary because ryegrass growth during April -May will reduce
bermuda yields and shorten the time bermuda can fully utilize the N. A harvest is required by heading or
April 7, which ever comes first to prevent shading of emerging bermuda during April -May period, To
favor the production of the bermuda, additional harvests of ryegrass will be required when the ryegrass
canopy reaches 12 to 15 inches height.

Crop Notes
The following crop note applies to field(s): 6
Bermudagrass Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, Well Drained to Excessively Drained
Adaptation: Well -adapted.
In the Coastal Plain, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. 1 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 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus,
potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Sulfur will be needed on
deep sands with high leaching. 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. For better soils the N rate can be increased to 300
lb/ac. 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.
The following crop note applies to field(s): 1B, 2, 3
Bermudagrass: Piedmont
Adaptation: Moderate to Well -adapted.
In the Piedmont, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. 1 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 1' to 1.5' in row.
For broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus,
potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 100 ib/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.
Winter -kill is a frequent problem in the Upper Piedmont; Coastal is not adapted there. Tifton 44 is the
most cold -hardy cultivar. 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.

The following crop note applies to field(s): 1 B, 2, 3
Small Grain: Piedmont
In the Piedmont, oats and barley should be planted from October 1-October 25; and rye from October
15-November 10. 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
Fescue: Piedmont
Adaptation: Well -adapted.
In the Piedmont, tall fescue can be planted Aug. 20 to Oct. 10 (best) and Feb. 15 to Mar. 20. For
pure -stand broadcast seedings use 20 to 30 lb/ac., for drilled use 15 to 20 lb/ac. seed. Use certified seed
to avoid introducing weeds or annual ryegrass. Plant seed 0.25" to 0.5" deep for pure stands, 0.25" in
mixture with clovers. Soil test for preplant and maintenance lime, phosphorus, and potassium
recommendations. Apply 40 to 60 lb/ac nitrogen at planting for pure stands only. Do not apply N for
mixtures with clovers but use proper legume inoculation techniques. Apply 150 to 200 lb/ac. N to
pure -stand fescue for hay production; reduce N rates by 25% to 50% for grazing. Apply N Feb. 1 to Mar.
20 and Aug. 20 to Sept. 30, with equal amounts in each window. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305
Production and Utilization of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for additional information or
consult your regional agronomist or extension agent for assistance.

Dear Mr. Williams:
The Animal Feeding Operations Unit has conducted a preliminary review of the subject permit
application package. Additional information is required before we may continue our review. Please
address the following items no later than April 4, 2007.
We have received your application for the State General Permit for animal Waste Management Systems
and the copies of the Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) requested in my letter of February 6, 2007. The
WUP was prepared for 5306 Feeder to Finish swine but the facility is certified for 5300 Feeder to
Finish swine. I'm sorry to be picky over 6 animals, but the WUP must agree with the number of
animals for which the facility is certified. Please provide two copies of the corrected, signed and dated
plan (for 5300 head). Note that the WUP must be signed and dated by both the owner and technical
specialist.
If you have any questions regarding this request, please do not hesitate to contact me at

Re: Revised irrigation plans and wettable acre determination for the Rocky Ridge Farm, Richmond
County, NC. Farm owner - Mr. Johnny Williams. DWQ Facility ID # 77-1.
Dear Mr. Williams,
The irrigation work you ordered for the above referenced farm is now complete. I believe it reflects
the communications you and I have had on the matter. Please find enclosed:
• One copy of the above referenced set of specifications. -I will be completing the engineer's
certification forms and the Wettable Acres Determination Certification as soon as the system is
installed and inspected. After reviewing this report for correctness, please sign the enclosed
acknowledgment form and mail it back to me. I will send copies of the form to all of those listed
below. I will make sure you also get a copy of this certification form once all signatures are
applied. You should keep a copy of all such documentation in your files.
The following persons will get the following documentation:
• Ms. Vilma Mendez with the Richmond County USDA NRCS will get one copy of this report.
• Mr. J.R. Joshi (with DWQ in Raleigh) will get two copies.
From what I have seen, I believe you should be able to install the new components to the irrigation
system more or less as I have shown on the drawing. I will expect you to call me when you begin
pipeline and hydrant installation so I can view the components prior to bury.
Thank -you for allowing Environmental Engineering Services to be of assistance on this matter. Feel
free to contact us if you have any questions.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PROJECT
Rocky Ridge Farm is a swine production farm in the north central part of Richmond County N. C.
The farm is located in an agricultural/rural setting and is situated near the town of Ellerbe. The farm
owner is Mr. John S. Williams.
Rocky Ridge Farm is certified as a swine finishing operation for 5,300 head. It is not expanding or
adding to its existing animal Steady State Live Weight (SSLW). The owner now uses a flush recycle
system to remove waste from the buildings. Swine effluent is stored and treated in a multi -stage
lagoon system and is recycled into the houses to recharge the waste removal system. On occasion
swine effluent is pumped from the lagoon system and carefully land applied to grass crops via an
existing spray irrigation system. Effluent applied to farm grown crops serves as a commercial
fertilizer substitute. Rocky Ridge Farm has a broadcast tanker that has historically been used to haul
waste onto land that was not irrigated. With the addition of the new irrigation fields, the practice of
hauling waste will be significantly curtailed. The farm has numerous tracts of land on which it is
permitted to land apply waste, but irrigation takes place only in the vicinity of the swine houses.
Any waste broadcasting details to be added to the farm's revised Animal Waste Utilization Plan will
be the responsibility of others.
Rocky Ridge Farm uses two waste treatment lagoons and a final stage waste storage pond to support
its liquid waste management practices. Excess liquid wastes drain by gravity from the two lagoons
and finally into the waste storage pond, i.e. the ponds are all in series. Irrigation takes place out of
the waste storage pond. In 1997 Rocky Ridge increased their animal waste storage capabilities by
enlarging their waste storage pond. Because it is a waste storage pond, the water can be pumped
down to any level so desired. Engineering and specifications for the enlarged storage pond were
submitted to the Richmond County USDA -MRCS by Environmental Engineering Services (EES) in
1997.
Swine production has taken place at Rocky Ridge Farm for over 25 years. The farm has employed
irrigation as a means of waste disposal for most of that time. In the fall of 1997 Rocky Ridge began
to expand its irrigation acres. Mr. Williams had Gra Mac Distributing Company to design a lay -out
for new permanent piping to each field, incorporating his existing irrigation equipment into the new
lay -out. By mid -summer of 1998 Mr. Williams had cleared a few new fields, planted grass in these
fields, and installed the permanent in -ground piping. A company called Westbrook and Jarman, Inc.
out of Pink Hill, NC installed the new equipment. Gra-Mac and Westbrook and Jarman are not
1

hmv =7
related companies, On August 12 1998 EES submitted a letter to the Richmond County USDA-
P � � tY
NRCS verifying that the new irrigation piping and fields had been installed more or less like the plans
developed by Gra-Mac Distributing Company. The EES letter was for installation and performance
verification, but it was not a wettable acres determination.
In February of 2001 the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(NCDENR), Division of Water Quality (DWQ) sent Mr. Johnny Williams a "Notification of
Wettable Acre Determination". Mr. Williams then contacted EES to develop this determination. On
October 31, 2001 Larry F. Graham, RE sealed plans and documents showing the calculated
Wettable Acre Determination for the existing irrigation system.
' During the winter and spring of 2006/2007, Rocky Ridge Farm contacted EES to revise their
irrigation plans. Before this time Rocky Ridge Farm had purchased additional land on the west and
east sides of Bennett Road and desired to clear it for irrigation. EES was hired to design the
' irrigation expansion and produce a revised wettable acre determination.
This document is being developed to show the plans for the modified/expanded irrigation system.
The reader may wish to review the 2001 EES document for certain letters, certifications, etc. that
' will not be reproduced here for brevity. This new EES document will be a stand-alone package that
discusses existing and new irrigation components. The existing part of the irrigation system will
remain very similar to its original design, except for changes in a few gun cart pull lengths. The new
part of the irrigation system will use the same irrigation pump, but will of course employ new
hydrants, piping, etc.
Certain irrigation information presented in this document was supplied by the farmer and/or irrigation
installer(s). On -site measurements were also collected by the engineer to help verify field sines,
locate hydrants, verify equipment types, design pipe routings, etc. Once installed it will be completely
' up to the irrigation system operator to operate the system in accordance with any and all certified
plans, to protect the surface water and ground water of the State of North Carolina, and to adhere to
all rules and regulations related to animal waste utilization.
REPORT OBJECTIVES
' I. To describe the Rocky Ridge Farm site characteristics as they relate to the existing and proposed
irrigation system. To explain to the reader where the farm is located and a general history of the
irrigation system development. Descriptions and explanations about historical crop production,
lagoon storage capacities, irrigation performance, irrigation scheduling, etc. will NOT be
included as part of this report.
' 2. To develop a to -scale map showing existing and proposed irrigation components, irrigation pull
lanes, field locations, irrigation hydrant positions, buffers, major irrigation components, etc.
3. To evaluate and develop a new Wetted Acre Determination at Rocky Ridge Farm. This will
NOT include any evaluation of crop production, broadcasting zones, Realistic Yield Expectations
(R.Y.E.), nitrogen balances, water balances, etc. Those revising the farm's Certified Animal
' Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) can use the new irrigation information for inclusion in their
work.

GENERAL SITE INFORMATION
Farm Location
The physical location of the farm is in the north central part of Richmond County. Entrance to the
farm is off SR# 1310 (Bennett Road) approximately 1.13 miles south of Highway 73 West. Exhibits
1, 2 and 3 show various views of the property.
In general the farm property is bordered by mostly wooded land or farm land with some residential
dwellings scattered around the immediate community. There are no historical sites noted within 1
mile of this farm.
' Land around the swine facilities has been irrigated for many years. While Rocky Ridge Farm owned
some land west of Bennett Road, it recently purchased more wooded land and had it cleared of trees.
In addition Rocky Ridge Farm purchased some additional acres just north of the swine facilities on
the same side of Bennett Road as the swine facilities. Exhibit 3 shows 2005 aerial photographs of
the old and new farm parcels prior to them being cleared.

Topography And Drainage
1 In general, the topography at and around the Rocky Ridge Farm irrigation zones consists of
moderate to steep rolling hills with all of the drainage from the fields eventually going into Tom's
Branch. Tom's Branch forms the southern and western borders of the farm, and ultimately flows
' into Little Mountain Creek. A USGS topo map of the area can be seen as Exhibit 2 so the reviewer
can get an overall view of the site. The USGS topographic map containing this information is the
1 Ellerbe Quadrangle map (updated 1982). Coordinates for the farm buildings are approximately
Longitude 79 degrees, 47 minutes, 20 seconds; Latitude 35 degrees, 5 minutes, 25 seconds.
The irrigation zones should not be impacted by 100 year flooding.
The discharge of swine effluent to the surface waters of N.C. is prohibited. Therefore no effluent is
expected to make its way into the nearby streams and rivers unless by accident. However, due to the
' rather steep slopes at Rocky Ridge Farm, any accidental discharge would quickly make its way into
Tom's Branch along the southern and western farm borders. Any acciental diacharge from irrigation
accidents would likely be small and would be very dilute prior to it reaching a public water supply
' intake. While the effects of any such occurrence is serious, the engineer believes any major threat to
a drinking water supply is minimal and would not have dramatic and prolonged effects on the
availability of drinking water supplies.
' The Richmond County MRCS and a representative of the Corps of Engineers visited the new land
purchased by Rocky Ridge Farm to investigate for wetlands. A few acres of wetlands were found
near Little Mountain Creek. Those wetland areas can be seen illustrated in Exhibits 4R1 and 6. No
wetlands will receive swine effluent irrigation.
' Animal Waste Related Set -Backs Or Buffers
There are numerous regulations related to set -backs and buffers from intensive livestock operations.
Unfortunately these values are subject to rapid change due to legislation, making them hard to

I
Irrigation Plane For Rocky Ridge Farm

always follow. The engineer has made an attempt to fist the appropriate set-
backs below according
to the new Subchapter 2T regulations, General `Statue 106 (Senate Bill 1080), Senate Bill 1217,
House Bill 515, NPDES permit set -backs, etc.
Table 1 shows various buffers or set -backs that apply to swine and dairy operations. Table 1 shows
minimum distances from wetted areas, usually from irrigation. The reader should note that the
minimum set -backs shown are dependent on the time the farm was sited or when irrigation fields
were placed in service. Rocky Ridge Farm has been in business for many years (more than 25 years).
However, there are irrigation fields that were placed in service after August 27, 1997, including
those recently designed. It is best if the maximum irrigation set backs are maintained at this farm,
especially on the southern and western ends of field slopes. Wind conditions, neighbor activities,
crop growth, temperatures, etc. may require that buffers be increased. The grower must be
particularly careful to avoid spray drift if irrigating on windy days.
1 The reader will note that the closest off -faun neighbor to the Rocky Ridge irrigation areas is the
residence of Mr. Charles Williams. Charles Williams is a relative of Johnny Williams and has given
Rocky Ridge Farm permission to spray irrigate animal waste as close as necessary to his property
' line or dwelling. Therefore the usual set -backs do not apply to the Charles Williams property. The
next closest dwelling to the irrigated fields is beyond the 200 feet setbacks required between a non-
farm residence and a wetted area. The reader will note specific set backs for this farm shown on
i Exhibit 4R1. The engineer has made certain recommendations for set -backs based on Table 1 values
tempered with safety concerns. The most critical set -backs will be from Tom's Branch on the
southern and western farm borders.

7 = This setback has not been confirmed, but it is considered a good recommendation.
+ = Typical right-of-ways from secondary roads in NC is 30 feet from the center line of the road This means to stay
25 feet away from the right of way or a total of 55 feet from the center line of the road The engineer would suggest a
buffer of at least 75 feet from public road right-of-ways if using big gun irrigation to avoid unpleasant accidents,
especially in windy conditions. 50 feet from center line is recommended if using a "honey wagon' to broadcast near
public road right-of-ways.
++ = A light application of effluent over grass water ways to maintain a good grass cover is acceptable. This is
different from deep groundwater lowering ditches or very steep water ways. Use good judgment and plan this type of
activity away from rain events. Do not irrigate in wet lands. Do not heavily apply waste in valleys which are subject to
high rainfall runoff or in wet weather drainage ways. 100 feet buffers from perennial water (i.e. blue line streams) are
recommended by the engineer for all fields where waste is to be applied (if possible).
Miscellaneous Considerations
In North Carolina the prevailing winds are typically from the south-west blowing to the north-east
but can blow from any direction at any time of the year (see Table 2). There are no high density
residential developments, hospitals, schools, or parks immediately north east of the Rocky Ridge
Farm parcel but some individual dwellings do exist in the nearby community. The land application of
waste should not be inhibited by these nearby dwellings as long as all precautions and safeguards are
Mowed. It is a good idea to plant or maintain tree lines between irrigation fields and neighbors or

From time spent on -site, the engineer did not observe any unusual natural or archeological features at
this farm parcel where waste is to be applied. No endangered or threatened wildlife species were
noted within the agricultural fields.
All fields to receive animal waste irrigation are pastures.
The operator of an agricultural irrigation system for wastewater must be certified. Certification
details are not discussed within this document but more information on the irrigation operators
certification program can be obtained by calling the N.C. Division of Soil and Water Conservation at

irrigated water throw from the nozzle. These semi -circle diameters are illustrated on Exhibit 4R1 as
only 90% of the manufacturer's reported diameters. The reader will note that many of the semi-
circles drawn on Exhibit 4RI overlap. This is normal for good field coverage. Also note that the
existing lane spacings for the new irrigation pulls are designed to be about 200 feet wide on average.
Some of the pull lanes may be a little more or less depending on on -site conditions.
Each field and pull at this farm has been given a specific designation. These designations were
derived with the help of the farmer and should coincide with his record -keeping. The individual pull
lanes are shown in Table 4 below.

To facilitate record keeping it is best to keep irrigation details by pull lane within any given field.
Grassy areas outside of the irrigated ,zones can also be used for waste provided they do not infiinge
on set -backs and are listed in the farmer's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If
' any crop land receives waste via broadcast, it must be recorded and documented.

Table 5 shows information about the irrigation system. Some of this information relates to the
wetted acres determination. The precipitation rates and application amounts shown in Table 5 are
recommended, but the irrigation operator will need to adjust rates and amounts depending on crop

' Irrigation System out And Operation
� r Layout
As mentioned earlier, the existing and proposed irrigation layout is shown as Exhibit 4R1. Nhnor
pipe and hydrant placement variations to the new fields due to on site conditions is allowable.
The operator should always try and keep the gun nozzle at the same pressure and thus deliver the
same amount of water (i.e. gpm) on each pull for ease in record keeping. Each time the traveling gun
is set up it will need to be checked for the proper pressure and delivery. It is beyond the scope of
this document to predict all pumping rates and traveler retrieval rate combinations to achieve a
' variety of application amounts. The engineer must however rely on the farmer's record keeping
ability to accurately track gallons pumped and nutrient amounts delivered. Adjustments can also be
made in engine speeds (i.e. rpm) to increase or lower irrigation rates but use caution since this will
also change application coverage. The farmer will find it most convenient to adjust gun cart retrieval
speed when changing application volumes. Table 7 shows how gun cart speeds change for different
' application volumes. Cart speed will not change the effective coverage, nozzle output or
precipitation rates, but it will change application volumes. Application volume is the best irrigation
target to use on a day to day basis.

* The Amadas Reel Rain Model 1030 has a retrieval rate range of between 0.5 and 12.5 feet per minute.
# This retrieval rate is beyond the Model 1030's capabilities.
The reader should realize that it is almost impossible to pin down the exact irrigation routine for any
site with varying weather conditions, crop needs, etc. Therefore the engineer must leave the ultimate
irrigation operation to the person doing the irrigation. Gun cart retrieval rates will likely be the most
useful adjustment factor to implement in overall application technique. But remember, precipitation
rate does not change with pull rate, as illustrated in Table 7. Application amounts (i.e. volume) do
change with pull rates, so be aware of this aspect.
As a general comment, more water will be applied at the bottom of hills than at the tops if slopes are
significant. This will be mainly due to the higher nozzle pressures at lower elevations. The farmer
may find it more convenient to set applications to be correct at low points and thereby apply less on
hill tops as the cart is being retrieved. Otherwise he will need to adjust the delivery rate throughout
the pull on steep hills. Averages can also be used if over applications do not occur in low areas.
The operator shall also keep records on equipment repairs, maintenance, and irrigation calibrations.
The engineer recommends irrigation calibration be done at least one time per year but semi-annual
calibration would be better. Information on calibration can be seen as Exhibit 7. The farmer should
consult with his or her irrigation dealer to obtain more information on calibration or contact a
qualified irrigation specialist. There are also irrigation training classes given by the N.C. Cooperative
Extension Service in Raleigh.
Wastewater shall not be allowed to run off any field at any time. Application rates should be as
low as needed to avoid surface run-off or water ponding. Most of this farm's soils could accept a
short duration loading rate of between 0.2 and 0.65 inches per irrigation event, but caution should be
used if irrigating close to the upper value. Strong slopes or wet conditions or poor crop growth may
cause irrigation rates to be at the lower range and require pull rates to be fast. If irrigation
selections are causing run-off, the operator should change nozzles, increase travel speed, reduce
application or pump rates, wait until field conditions improve, etc. The farmer should avoid irrigating
low areas in the fields or spots which tend to stay wet. Keep good vegetative buffers between
10

irrigated fields and the creek. The engineer would recommend very limited irrigation or no irrigation
' in grass water ways, stormwater channels, and near down -slope grass buffers.
The operator of an agricultural irrigation system for wastewater must be certified. Certification
details are not discussed within this document but more information on the irrigation operators
' certification program can be obtained by calling the N.C. Division of Soil and Water Conservation at
[phone].
Grading And Clearing For Travel Lanes
For smooth irrigation, the operator will need to predetermined gun cart paths and travel lanes,
' especially in recently cleared fields. This will be most important between hills and where hills would
tilt the gun cart to the side. A tilted gun cart is more easily turned over and will also alter the
effective coverage of the spray. Exhibit 4R1 shows the recommended travel lanes at Rocky Ridge
Farm. Much of the land for fields 1 and 4 will need to be cleared (some of which have already been
cleared). Smooth out cart paths, remove all stumps and large rocks, and place soil in gullies and
valleys.
Recently cleared or disturbed soil areas shall be seeded ASAP for soil stabilization and erosion
prevention. Irrigation shall be limited on these areas until grass is well established. Traveler pulls
' across these disturbed soil areas will be allowed if a cover crop is planted. Filling valleys can block
natural drainage ways. If earthen bridges are constructed between hills a stormwater culvert may
need to be installed. Sizing stormwater culverts is beyond the scope of this plan.
Trenches And Force Main Installation
Care in installing pipes or force mains will greatly reduce long term problems and potential leaks.
' The existing and new underground pipe at Rocky Ridge Farm is and will be 4 inch PVC, SDR-21,
gasket joint pipe. New pipe shall be installed a minimum of 36 inches deep. Trench depths between
40 inches and 48 inches would be better.
' Concrete thrust blocks are necessary on irrigation system piping in order to prevent pipe movement
and failure. Very often air in the pipe lines will cause water hammer to occur. Sudden shocks due to
' water hammer or water rushes can loosen joints or break pipe. Thrust blocks are especially needed
for pipes 4 inches in diameter or larger and for gasket joint pipe. Reaction blocks should be installed
at bends greater than 10 degrees.
' Tables 8 and 9 show suggested reaction areas for thrust blocking. These are guidelines only.
Concrete should be well mixed and be at least a 2500 pound consistency. Thrust blocks are usually
between 4 and 12 inches thick and back up against the undisturbed soil of a trench wall. These are
' tables are given for future guidance. Suggested thrust block locations are shown on Exhibit 4R1.

Water Valves And System Safety
' When irrigation is underway the entire underground pipe system may be pressurized. Special valve
caps or butterfly valves at each hydrant prevent water from flowing except where the irrigation reel
is connected. Exhibit 4111 shows typical hydrant construction. The installer shall place concrete
' collars around hydrants in soft sandy soils, but it is acceptable to use well compacted soil around
hydrants if the soils are clay. Concrete hydrant collars are preferred for long term durability.
The engineer is requiring a high/low pressure cut-off switch be installed on the power unit used to
pump lagoon effiuent. Should a pipe break or a pipe blockage occur the power unit (and irrigation)
to automatically shut down due to the emergency cut-off switch. This switch would take the place
t of a pressure relief valve, however a pressure relief valve is a low cost safety device that is
recommended on every system. Most brands for said purpose would be acceptable. The farmer shall
test this emergency cut-off switch routinely to make sure it works. The engineer would recommend
' a monthly test as a minimum. DO NOT LEAVE IRRIGATION SYSTEM OPERATING
UNATTENDED.
Valves to control flow should be of a size and type that are consistent with the volume and material
type being pumped. Swine effluent is corrosive. Ball and butterfly type valves tend to be more
durable than gate valves but either is acceptable.
Never shut off valves quickly or open them quickly under full flow conditions. Be careful when
filling empty pipes in order to avoid water hammer and their possible rupture when water rushes
through the system. Table 10 is a general guide for filling irrigation type piping.

++ Slowly increase flow rates. Generally spealdng increase flow rates about 30 gpm per minute. Use caution to fill
pipes aocording to this table every time the mainline has drained down by 10 percent of its volume capacity.
' A Tri-Action irrigation valve is being specified for this system, to be installed near the pump location
beside the swine lagoon. These valves will allow air to escape, prevent pipe vacuum damage, and act
' as a pressure relief point. Valve placements are shown on Exhibit 4111. See Exhibit 8 for a data
sheet on Tri-Action Valves. Ordinary air relief valves shall be placed at various places around the
13

' tirigation Plana For Rocky Ride Farm

' irrigation system, primarily where the force main crosses high points of aii hills or at the end
hydrants.
' Exhibit 4R1 shows some possible locations for drain ports. Freeze protection methodology will be
left up to the farmer. If used, install drain ports at low points of the irrigation system. These ports
' are to be used to winterize the system and in some cases can drain out hundreds or even thousands of
gallons of effluent. Due to environmental concerns the engineer is requiring that any effluent which
is drained be contained either in a small pit or tank and land applied or put back into the lagoon
system. Effluent from pipes can not be emptied onto the soil and allowed to drain off -site.
When in operation, an irrigation system is under high pressure and can be dangerous. A sudden
t release of pressure in the face can easily blind or even kill an operator. Also if elbows, tees, valves,
or other parts suddenly break off, they will be projected through the air at high velocity. This can be
a deadly missile for the operator. Always use caution around irrigation systems, PTO shafts,
' tractors and power units. Be sure to follow the equipment manufactures recommendation for
operation and safety and never disconnect safety devices. Think before you actl
' Maximum Head Calculations
While the irrigation operator can change operating pressures at the gun nozzle by changing the rpm
' of the PTO drive or by several other means, it is important to look at the maximum pressure
requirements to make sure the nozzle can be operated at the required pressures with the available
equipment set-up. If the nozzle will operate at the correct design pressure at the maximum total
' dynamic head, then it can be operated at this pressure along pulls that require less head. EES did not
design the existing irrigation system, only the new pulls in fields I and 4. The engineer has evaluated
what is considered to be a maximum pumping condition in both the existing system and in the new
1

system to make sure the pump, piping, etc. is adequate to meet the performance requirements.
Details on the maximum total dynamic head are shown in Table 11,

' Ridge Farm irrigation pump will deliver the required water at the requared pressure, but will only do
' so under high rpm. All other pulls within the old and new systems should require less rpm and less
horsepower for operation. Irrigation pump curves are attached as part of Exhibit 9.
WETTABLE ACRE DETERMINATION
The term "CAWMP wettable acres determination" is used for fields that have existing irrigation and
the term "effective design area" is used for new or expanded irrigation systems. Part of the Rocky
Ridge Farm irrigation system is existing and part of it is new. To simplify this discussion the
engineer will use the terms wetted acres or wettable acre determination or "WW wetted acres
when discussing the areas under irrigation at Rocky Ridge Farm. The engineer will use the different
formulas for calculating wetted acres, but for simplicity of discussion, they will all be summed and
listed as wetted acres. Existing irrigation criteria can be used for determining wettable acres for
' fields receiving animal waste irrigation prior to February 1, 1999. New designations would be for
irrigated fields put into service on or after February 1, 1999. The wetted acre determination
exercise was performed for this farm using the procedures outlined in the publication titled "Irrigated
' Acreage Determination Procedures for Wastewater Application Equipment, Hard Hose Traveler
Irrigation System", published by the NC Cooperative Extension Service, NC State University,
publication number AG-553-7.
Table 12 shows the total estimated CAWMP Wettable Acreage for each irrigation pull lane. This
table was developed using a specific set of pressure and pumping criteria, and it is assumed the
farmer can maintain this "constant" pressure setting at his nozzle by adjusting his irrigation
equipment (e.g. changing tractor engine speeds). If nozzle pressure is allowed to change, the
calculated wetted areas will also change. The reader should note that the engineer used 90 percent of
' the manufacturer's published wetted diameter as the assumed actual wetted diameter since measured
data was not available.
Animal waste can only be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. The Rocky
' Ridge land should qualify given the proper crop covers are established and maintained. Erosion
could easily become a problem at this farm in the irrigated fields if crop covers are not maintained. It
is vitally important that the farmer pay close attention to irrigation schedules. Strong slopes
will encourage surface run off to occur, especially during rainfall events. Creeks immediately
down -slope from the irrigated fields could be impacted by the over application of effluent or
' by a sudden rain storm shortly after irrigation.
The reader will note the following specifics about the CAWMP Wettable Acre determination shown
in Table 12:
1. Rocky Ridge Farm was sited at least 25 years ago. Then engineer has used conservative set -back
or buffer criteria for all irrigated fields even though the older fields were in use prior to 1998.
' 2. Every pull at Rocky Ridge Farm is shown on Exhibit 4111. The reader will note that some of the
single pull lanes show a slight overlap into wooded areas. This should not appreciably affect the
actual wetted coverage of the sprinkler.
' 3. Irrigated zone F3-P7 shows a gun cart nozzle pressure of 60 psi. This is the only pull zone that
has a pressure less than 70 psi.
4. Irrigation pull F1-P7 is the only pull that shows an alteration to the gun rotation angle. The
farmer may not ever use pull Fl -P7 but it is in the plan to add a little extra coverage to Field 1.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND NOTICES
tThe farm operator may wish to contact the following people and/or agencies for information or
training:
' • Richmond County NRCS office
• Richmond County Cooperative Extension Service
N.C. Irrigation Society
' • NCDA
The farmer should thoroughly review all the attached exhibits for helpful information and
' precautions.
Any person or company owning or controlling the property upon which an animal waste disposal
' system is in operation shall be responsible for all aspects of the disposal system. The system must be
maintained at all times to prevent direct seepage and/or discharge of effluent to the surface of ponds,
rivers, streams, or to any type of surface or ground waters. The irrigation system must be calibrated
' and records kept on calibration procedures and results. Exhibit 7 contains information on irrigation
calibration.
' Significant changes in operations, or problems should be duly noted and documented by the farmer.
Rocky Ridge Farm is hereby notified that he/she/they must operate this system in accordance with
state and local laws and regulations. Problems should be reported to the N.C. Division of Water
' Quality (DWQ) ASAP. Changes in animal steady state live weight, operations, ownership, and/or
waste management must first be discussed with DWQ before proceeding. This is not an option for
the farmer but a requirement. Increases in SSLW will require plan modifications and a new permit.
' The project engineer can not take responsibility for the accuracy of all information or conclusions
made by others and referenced herein. Much of the information presented above is based on
' estimated conditions, estimated operational capabilities, etc. that are subject to change. When
dealing with so many variables and natural elements it is impossible to predict in advance all
operational conditions, however the concepts and methodology presented above are reliable. The
information above is presented in a detailed fashion so that system operators can recalculate and
adjust certain parameters from year to year.
' The engineer takes no responsibility for changes made to the irrigation system and the above
wettable acre determination before, during, or after construction without his knowledge. Nor does
the engineer take any responsibility for human losses or property damages which should occur due to
poor workmanship, improper use of machinery, unknown conditions above or below ground level,
legal problems with boundary lines or easements, acts of nature, "short-cuts" the owner may take in
system construction, legislative rule changes during or after plan development, or improper system
operation. Information given to the engineer by the owner or others and used in these specifications
shall be taken as truth if it can not be verified otherwise.
' DWQ officials and local health officials are authorized to inspect the system at any time.
It is of the utmost importance that all activities with regards to waste utilization and irrigation
be recorded and kept in a safe place on the farm. Good records are essential to good waste
' utilization practices.

Field Calibration Procedures
for Animal Wastewater Application Equipment
HARD HOSE
AND CABLE
TOW TRAVELER
IRRIGATION SYSTEM
General Guidelines
Land application equipment used on animal production farms must be field
calibrated or evaluated in accordance with existing design charts and tables
according to state rules that went into effect September 1, 1996. Technical
Specialist certifying waste management plans after September 1,1996, must
also certify that operators. have been provided calibration and adjustment
guidance for all land application equipment. The rules apply to irrigation sys-
tems as well as all other types of liquid, slurry, or solid application equipment.
Information presented in manufacturers' charts are based on average op-
erating conditions for relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and applica-
tion rates change over time as equipment ages and components wear. As a
result, equipment should be field calibrated regularly -to ensure that applica-
tion rates and uniformity are consistent with values used during the system
design and given in manufacturers' specifications. Field calibration involves
collection and measurement of the material being applied at several locations
in the application area. This publication contains step-by-step guidelines for
field calibration of hard hose and cable tow traveler irrigation systems.
Operating an Irrigation system differently than
assumed in the design will alter the application rate,
uniformity of coverage, and subsequently the applica-
tion uniformity. Operating with excessive pressure
results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift,
and accelerates wear of the sprinkler nozzle. 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.
Clogging of nozzles or crystallization of main lines
can result in increased pump pressure but reduced
flow at the gun. Plugged intakes will reduce operating
pressure. An operating pressure below design pressure
greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application
uniformity. Field calibration helps ensure that nutri-
ents from animal waste are applied uniformly and at
proper rates.
The calibration of a hard hose or cable tow system
Involves setting out collection containers, operating
the system, measuring the amount of wastewater
collected in each container, and then computing the
average application, volume and application unifor-
mity.
An in -line flow meter installed in the main
irrigation line provides a good estimate of the total
volume pumped from the lagoon during each Irriga-
tion cycle. The average application depth can be
determined by dividing the pumped volume by the
application area. The average application depth is
computed from the formula:
Average application depth (inches)
Volume pumped (gallons)
27,154 (gal/ac-in) X Application area (acres)
The average application depth is the average
amount applied throughout the field. Unfortunately,
sprinklers do not apply the same depth of water
throughout their wetted diameter. Under normal
operating conditions, application depth decreases
towards the outer perimeter of the wetted diameter.
Big gun sprinkler systems typically have overlap
based on a design sprinkler spacing of 70 to 80
percent of the wetted sprinkler diameter to compen-
0

sate for the declining application along the outer
perimeter. When operated at the design pressure, this
overlap results in,acceptable application uniformity.
When operated improperly, well -designed systems
will not provide acceptable application uniformity.
For example, if the pressure is too low, the applica-
tion depth will be several times higher near the
center of sprinkler and water will not be thrown as
far from the sprinkler as indicated in manufacturers'
charts. Even through the average application depth
may be acceptable, some areas receive excessively
high application while others receive no application
at.all.
When applying.wastewater high in nutrients, it is
important to determine the application uniformity.
Collection containers distributed throughout the
application area must be used to evaluate application
Uniformity.
Many types of containers can be used to collect
flow and determine the application uniformity.
Standard rain gauges work best and are recom-
mended because they already have a graduated scale
from which to read the application depth.
Pans, plastic buckets, jars, or anything with a
uniform opening and cross section can be used
provided the container is deep enough (at least 4
inches deep) to prevent splash and excessive evapora-
tion, and the liquid collected can be easily trans-
ferred to a scaled container for measuring. All con-
talners should be the same size and shape to simplify
application depth computations.
All collection containers should be set up at the
same height relative to the height of the sprinkler
nozzle (discharge elevation). Normally, the top of
each container should be no more than 36 inches
above the ground. Collectors should _be located so
that there is no interference from the crop. The crop
canopy should be trimmed to preclude Interference
or splash into the collection container.
Calibration should be performed during periods
of low evaporation. Best times are before 10 a.m, or
after 4 p.m. on days with light wind (less than 5
miles per hour). On cool, cloudy days the calibration
can be performed anytime when wind velocity is less
than 5 mph.
The volume (depth) collected'during calibration
should be read soon after the sprinkler gun cart has
moved one wetted radius past the collection gauges
to minimize evaporation from the rain gauge. Where
a procedure must be performed more than once,
containers should be read and values recorded
immediately after each setup.
Calibration Setup for Hard Hose and
Cable Tow Traveling Guns
Hard hose and cable tow traveling guns are calibrated
by placing a row (transect) of collection containers or
gauges perpendicular to the direction of travel, Figure
1. The outer gauge on each end of the row should
extend past the furthest distance the gun will throw
wastewater to ensure that the calibration is performed
on the "full" wetted diameter of the gun sprinkler.
Multiple rows increase the accuracy of the calibration.
Containers should be spaced no further apart than
1/16 of the wetted diameter of the gun sprinkler not
to exceed 25 feet. At least 16 gauges should be used in
the calibration. Sixteen gauges will be adequate
except for large guns where the wetted diameter
exceeds 400 feet.
(Maximum recommended spacing between
gauges, 25 feet X 16 = 400 feet.) Gauges should be set
at least one full wetted diameter of throw from either
end of the travel lane, as shown In Figure 1.
The system should be operated such that the
minimum travel distance of the gun cart exceeds the
wetted diameter of throw. Application volumes
should be read.as soon as the last gauges stop being
wetted.

Dear Mr. Heath
Please find enclosed a copy of the wettable acre determination for the above referenced farm. I have
also included a to -scale map of the irrigated land as well as some other helpful exhibits related to
irrigation. I trust this meets the needs of DWQ with regards to this farm. Please feel free to send Ms.
Sonya Avant a copy of any of the information you choose. I will forward the signed wettable acres
determination form to you as soon as Mr. Williams gets his signed copy back to me. I will also send
Ms. Avant a copy of the certification form (once signed) but I am not sending her a copy of the
wettable acres determination.
Please call my office if you have any questions.

Re: Wettable acre determination for the Rocky Ridge Farm, Richmond County, NC. Farm owner -
Mr, Johnny Williams. DWQ Facility ID # 77-1.
Dear Mr. Williams,
The Wettable acre determination' for the above referenced farm is now complete. Please find
enclosed:
• One copy of the Wettable Acre Determination report. I am also enclosing a copy of the
Wettable Acres Determination Certification form for you to sign. After reviewing this report for
correctness, please sign the enclosed form and mail it back to me, I will send copies of the form
to all of those listed below. I will make sure you also get a copy of this certification form once
all signatures are applied. You should keep a copy of all such documentation in your files.
The following persons will get the following documentation:
• Ms. Vilma Mendez with the Richmond County USDA -MRCS will get one copy of this report.
• Mr. Bob Heath with the Fayetteville Regional office of DWQ will get one copy.
• Ms. Sue Homewood (with DWQ in Raleigh) will get one copy.
Since you are using a broadcast wagon to land apply animal waste to fields that are not irrigated, you
should have no problems with having enough acres to accommodate your nitrogen production.
However, the new wettable acre determination may differ some from your existing irrigation
numbers. Please use the new wettable acre numbers to figure irrigation areas in the future. If you
need assistance to modify your existing waste utilization plan to better match the wettable acres,
please Iet me or the local extension service know.
Thank -you for allowing Environmental Engineering Services to be of assistance on this matter. Feel
free to contact us if you have any questions.

In accordance with your application received on February 26, 2007, we are hereby forwarding to you this
Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Johnny S. Williams, authorizing the operation of the subject
animal waste management system in accordance with General Permit AWGI00000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
and land application of animal waste as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management
Plan (CAWMP) for the Rocky Ridge Farm, located in Richmond County, with an animal capacity of no
greater than the following swine annual averages:
Wean to Finish: Feeder to Finish: 5300 Boar/Stud:
Wean to Feeder: Farrow to Wean: Gilts:
Farrow to Finish: Farrow to Feeder:
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 and replaces the NPDES
COC issued to this facility with an expiration date of July 1, 2007. You are required to continue
conducting annual surveys of sludge accumulation in all lagoons at your facility; the one-year extension

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.. Enclosed for your convenience is

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, rs, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under t spermit' bnvey 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 02T .0111(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.
Per 15A NCAC 02T .1306, any containment basin, such as a lagoon or waste storage structure, shall
continue to be subject to the conditions and requirements of the facility's permit until closed to NRCS
standards and the permit is rescinded by the Division.

Rocky Ridge Waste Utilization Plan
Rocky Ridge swine farm produces 17,159 lbs PAN/year.
This figure is based on 4,902,500 gallons of waste produced by
5300 head of finishing hogs and a sampled waste analysis of 3.5
lbs PAN/1000 gallons of effluent. Included are waste analysis
reports (7/05-2/07) for the 3'd stage waste storage pond from which
waste will be pumped. The average of these reports is 3.5 lbs
PAN/1,000 gallons. The Nitrogen content of the storage pond is
lower than the state average because the first two stages are
anaerobic lagoons in which some nutrient breakdown is occurring.
In an effort to remove sludge build up in the first two stages,
the operator will periodically agitate the lagoons and remove the
slurry for land application off the farm. A waste sample will be
taken of this slurry to determine the correct agronomic application
rate.
Included in this plan is a listing of each field, crop, and
application method. The operator will be using a combination of
traveler irrigation and liquid spreader to apply the waste.
Eventually, the Millet/Rye fields will be converted to Hybrid
Bermuda and the WUP changed accordingly.

Plan Amendment
This waste management plan was amended on March 9, 2007 to update the
amount of pigs on the farm from 5306 head to 5300 head. This brings the
waste down to 4,902,500 gallons of waste per year. The Ibs. of N/l ,000 gal
were updated to 3.5 to reflect the current numbers from the most recent
waste analysis. This number was averaged over a three year time period
using the Nitrogen available from the liquid slurry as well as the irrigated
liquid.

RECOMMFNDATIONS
Applications of waste can be made to the Bermudagrass as early as 30
days prior to green up until growth and nitrogen uptake slows. For
our area this will provide a window from about March 15th (or 1 week
after the last 32 degree temp.) until August 15th. Annual soil tests
should be made to ensure that the proper lime and K (potash) levels
are maintained to achieve maximum growth and N uptake.
When harvesting Bermudagrass as hay, make the first cutting when the
plants are 12-15 inches tall and every 4-6 weeks afterwards. Apply N
when spring growth begins and then after each cutting.
According to the recently passed senate bill 1217, the maximum rate
of nitrogen that can be applied to a winter annual overseeded into
bermuda is 50 lbs N/acre. The best way to apply this is in split
applications with half the N in the fall around September or October
at planting and the other half in late February as early spring
growth begins.
Soil test should be taken and are now required by law, to monitor pH,
phosphorus, and potassium levels to ensure good crop growth. Zn and
Cu levels must also be monitored and technical assistance -sought when

Fhe waste product contains large amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, zinc, and copper. The waste should be applied at rates needed to meet crop nitrogen requirement unless one of the other elements are more
'estrictive. When soil test P is very high and the site is vulnerable to phosphorus movement to nearby surface water, limit application of P to estimated crop removal of this element. Limit applications of zinc and copper
is necessary to avoid excess accumulation of these elements in the soil.

The waste product contains
a large amount of zinc. As a result, care should be taken to avoid excess accumulation of zinc in the soil where the waste is applied. Apply the waste at rates needed to meet crop nitrogen
requirement unless zinc is restrictive. Excess zinc can permanently damage soil productivity. Some crops are more sensitive to excess zinc than others. Peanuts is one of the most sensitive crops to this element. Low
soil pH enhances zinc toxicity.

1 Wdlable Acm Determination For Rocky Ridge Fami
INTRODUCTION
' Background About This Farm
' Rocky Ridge Farm is a swine production farm in the north central part of Richmond County N. C.
The farm is located in an agricultural/rural setting and is situated near the town of Ellerbe. The farm
owner is Mr. Johnny Williams.
' Rocky Ridge Farm is certified as a swine finishing operation for approximately a 5,300 head. It is not
expanding or adding to its existing animal Steady State Live Weight (SSLW). The owner now uses a
flush recycle system to remove waste from the buildings. Swine effluent is stored and treated in a
' multi -stage lagoon system and is recycled into the houses to recharge the waste removal system. On
occasion swine effluent is pumped from the lagoon system and carefully land applied to hay crops via
an existing spray irrigation system. Liquid and slurry animal waste is also applied via a broadcast
tanker in areas that do not receive irrigation. Rocky ridge farm has numerous tracts of land on which
it is permitted to land apply waste, but irrigation takes place only on Rocky Ridge land near the
' swine houses. Both irrigation and broadcasting are reported to be included in the farm's existing
Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). Effluent applied to farm grown crops serves
as a commercial fertilizer substitute.
For many years, Rocky Ridge Farm has used two waste treatment lagoons and a final stage waste
storage pond to support the liquid waste management practices at the farm. Excess liquid wastes
drain by gravity from the two lagoons into the waste storage pond. In 1997 Rocky Ridge increased
' their animal waste storage capabilities by enlarging the existing waste storage pond. Because it is a
waste storage pond, it can be pumped dry or almost dry as required by the farmer. Engineering and
Specifications for the enlarged storage pond were submitted to the Richmond County USDA -NAGS
' by Environmental Engineering Services (EES) in 1997.
Swine production has taken place at Rocky Ridge Farm for over 20 years. For about the last 18
' yearn Rocky Ridge has had some form of irrigation in place in the vicinity of the swine houses. In
the fall of 1997 Rocky Ridge began to expand its irrigation acres, Mr. Williams had Gra-Mac
Distributing Company to design a lay -out for new permanent piping to each field, incorporating his
existing irrigation equipment into the new lay -out. By mid -summer of 1998 Mr. Williams had
cleared a few new fields, planted grass in these fields, and installed the permanent in -ground piping.
A company called Westbrook and Jarman, Inc. out of Pink Hill, NC installed the new equipment.
' Gra-Mac and Westbrook and Jarman are not related companies. On August 12, 1998 EES submitted
a letter to the Richmond County USDA -MRCS verifying that the new irrigation piping and fields had
been installed more or less like the plans developed by Gra-Mac Distributing Company. The EES
' letter was for installation verification and performance verification, but it was not a wettable acres
determination. Exhibit 5 shows a copy of that EES letter.
In February of 2001 the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(NCDENR), Division of Water Quality (DWQ) sent Mr. Johnny Williams a "Notification of
Wettable Acre Determination". Mr. Williams then contacted EES to develop this determination.
' EES subsequently contacted DWQ to coordinate this effort and verify requirements. Per said
correspondence there were two items being required for this wettable acre determination verification.
These were: 1) To develop a to -scale map showing the irrigated fields and pull lanes, and 2) To
provide a calculated wettable acre determination. Irrigation performance data and verification
1

IWettable Acre Detarninatim For Rocky Ridge Farm
' calculations were approximated for this system back in 1998 by EES and are not being re -verified by
this report.
' Certain irrigation information presented in this document was supplied by the farmer and/or irrigation
installer. On -site measurements were also collected by the engineer to help verify hydrant locations,
' equipment types, pipe routing, etc. The farmer has measured irrigation performance on several
occasions and verified that this performance is satisfactory. It will be completely up to the irrigation
system operator to operate the system in accordance with any and all certified plans, to protect the
' surface water and ground water of the State of North Carolina, and to adhere to all rules and
regulations related to animal waste utilization.
Report Objectives
1. To describe the Rocky Ridge Farm site characteristics as they relate to the irrigation system only.
To explain to the reader where the farm is located and a general history of the irrigation system
development at this farm. Descriptions and explanations about historical crop production, lagoon
storage capacities, irrigation performance, irrigation scheduling, etc. will NOT be included as
' part of this report.
2. To develop a to -scale map showing irrigated field locations, irrigation hydrant positions, pull
' lanes, buffers, major irrigation components, etc.
3. To evaluate the total wetted acres under irrigation at Rocky Ridge Farm. This will NOT include
' any evaluation of crop production, broadcasting zones, Realistic Yield Expectations (R.Y.E.),
nitrogen balances, water balances, etc.
' General Site Information and Location
The physical location of the farm is in the north central part of Richmond County. Entrance to the
farm is off SR# 1310. Exhibits 1, 2, 3 and 4 show various views of the property.
In general the farm property is bordered by mostly wooded land or farm land with some residential
' dwellings scattered around the immediate community. There are no historical sites noted within I
mile of this farm.
All irrigation is taking place on pasture or hay crops near the Rocky Ridge swine production
' facilities. All irrigation takes place from the waste holding pond (sometimes identified as lagoon # 3,
but it is not a lagoon).
' Topography And Drainage
In general, the topography at and around the Rocky Ridge Farm irrigation zones consists of
' moderate to steep rolling hills with all of the drainage from the fields eventually going to an
unnamed creek on the southern border of the farm, and ultimately to Little Mountain Creek. A
USGS topo map of the area can be seen as Exhibit 2 so the reviewer can get an overall view of the
site. The USGS topographic map containing this information is the Ellerbe Quadrangle map
(updated 1982). Coordinates for this site are approximately Longitude 79 degrees, 47 minutes, 20
seconds; Latitude 35 degrees, 5 minutes, 25 seconds,

1 Wettable Aare Determination For Rocky Ridge Farm
' Every irrigation pull at Rocky Ridge Farm takes place on sloped land. The slopes vary along each
pull. Since surface slopes and soil types are related to proper irrigation rates and not wetted acre
' determinations, the engineer will omit additional discussions about slopes and soil types.
The irrigation zones should not be impacted by 100 year flooding.
' The discharge of swine effluent to the surface waters of N.C. is prohibited. Therefore no effluent is
expected to make its way into the nearby streams and rivers unless by accident. However, due to the
rather steep slopes at Rocky Ridge Farm, any accidental discharge would quickly make its way into
' the unnamed stream along the southern farm border. Any acciental diacharge from irrigation
accidents would likely be small and would be very dilute prior to it reaching any public water supply
intake. While the effects of any such occurrence is serious, the engineer believes any major threat to
' a drinking water supply is minimal and would not have dramatic and prolonged effects on the
availability of any drinking water supply.
No wet land vegetation was observed within the existing irrigated fields,
Animal Waste Related Set -Backs Or Buffers
' There are numerous regulations related to set -backs and buffers from intensive livestock operations.
Unfortunately these values are subject to rapid change due to legislation, making them hard to
always follow. The engineer has made an attempt to list the appropriate set -backs below according
to the .0200 regulations, General Statue 106 (Senate Bill 1080), Senate Bill 1217, House Bill 515,
etc. as of this report date.
' Table 1 shows various buffers or set -backs that apply to swine and dairy operations. Table 1 shows
minimum distances from wetted areas, usually from irrigation. The reader should note that the set-
backs shown are dependent on the time the farm was sited or when irrigation fields were placed in
service. Rocky Ridge Farm has been in business for many years (more than 20 years). However, a
few of the irrigation fields were placed in service after August 27, 1997. It is best if the maximum
' irrigation set backs are maintained at this farm, especially on the southern end of field slopes. Wind
conditions, neighbor activities, crop growth, temperatures, etc. may require that buffers be increased.
The grower must be particularly careful to avoid spray drift if irrigating on windy days.
' The reader will note that the closest off -farm neighbor to the Rocky Ridge irrigation areas is the
residence of Mr. Charles Williams. Charles Williams is a relative of Johnny Williams and has given
Rocky Ridge Farm permission to spray irrigate animal waste as close as necessary to his property
line or dwelling. Therefore the usual set -backs do not apply to the Charles Williams property. The
next closest dwelling to the irrigated fields is beyond the 200 feet setbacks required between a non-
farm residence and a wetted area. The reader will note specific set -backs for this farm shown on
' Exhibit 4. The engineer has made certain recommendations for set -backs based on Table 1 values
and safety concerns. The most critical set -backs will be from the unnamed stream on the southern
farm border to wetted areas. The farmer should not apply animal waste closer than 75 feet to this
stream.
It is important to note that there are no dwellings close to the east border of the farm along pull lane
' F3-P7. The engineer has recommended the farmer keep this east side buffer at 50 feet even though
there are no dwellings within about 900 feet of this property line. Such a buffer helps avoid
accidental property line crossings during wind gusts.

? = This setback has not been confirmed., but it is considered a good recommendation.
+ = Typical right-of-ways from secondary roads in NC is 30 feet from the center line of the road. This means
to stay 25 feet away from the right of way or a total of 55 feet from the center line of the road. The engineer
would suggest a buffer of at least 75 feet from public road right-of-ways if using big gun irrigation to avoid
unpleasant accidents, especially in windy conditions. Twenty five feet is recommended if using a "honey
wagon" to broadcast near public road right-of-ways.
++ = A light application of effluent over .grass water ways to maintain a good grass cover is acceptable. This
is different from deep groundwater lowering ditches. Use good judgment and plan this type of activity away
from rain events. Do not irrigate in wet lands if avoidable. Do not heavily apply waste in valleys which are
subject to high rainfall runoff or in wet weather drainage ways. 100 feet buffers from perennial- water (i.e.
blue line streams) are recommended by the engineer for all fields where waste is to be applied (if applicable).
Miscellaneous Irrigation Considerations
Due to the steepness of several of the Rocky Ridge Farm irrigated fields, the farmer must exercise
diligence in keeping run-off from occurring. Erosion could also become a problem at this farm in the
irrigated fields if crop covers are not maintained. It is vitally important that the farmer pay close
attention to irrigation schedules at this farm. Strong slopes will encourage surface run off to
occur, especially during rainfall events. Nearby wet weather streams and ponds down -slope
from the irrigated fields and could be impacted by the over application of effluent or by a
sudden rain storm shortly after irrigation.

I, Wdtable Aaa Ddamination For Rocky Ridge Farm
Field fringes and non irrigated fields can have animal waste applied via a slurry tanker. Therefore the
' total crop acres may or may not be reduced by irrigation limitations. Crop plans and land application
methodology should appear in the Rocky Ridge CAWMP.
' In, North Carolina the prevailing winds are typically from the south-west blowing to the north-east
but can blow from any direction at any time of the year (see Table 2). There are no high density
residential developments, hospitals, schools, or parrs immediately north east of the Rocky Ridge
' Farm parcel but some individual dwellings do exist in the nearby community. The land application of
waste should not be inhibited by these nearby dwellings as long as all precautions and safeguards are
followed. It is a good idea to plant or maintain tree lines between irrigation fields and neighbors or
' public highways. Avoid spraying on windy days or when the wind is blowing toward nearby
neighbors.

From limited observation, the engineer did not observe any unusual natural or archeological features
' at this farm parcel where waste is to be applied. No endangered or threatened wildlife species were
noted.
' The operator of an agricultural irrigation system for wastewater must be certified. Certification
details are not discussed within this document but more information on the irrigation operators
certification program can be obtained by calling the N.C. Division of Soil and Water Conservation at

' EXISTING IRRIGATION EQUIPMENT AT ROCKY RIDGE FARM
As stated earlier, Rocky Ridge Farm has been using the same irrigation equipment since before 1997.
' However in 1998 permanent piping was installed and some additional land was cleared to expand the
irrigated acres. Table 3 is a listing of the irrigation equipment currently in use at this farm.
Broadcasting equipment is not listed in Table 3.

WETTABLE ACRE DETERMINATION
Rocky Ridge Farm irrigation system mostly consists of a single hard hose traveler with engine driver,
one diesel powered irrigation pump, and underground or permanent piping as described in Table 3.
Exhibit 4 shows this general irrigation setup with the dotted lines showing the approximate center of
normal irrigation lanes. The semi -circles on Exhibit 4 show approximate wetted areas covered by
gun cart nozzles. These semicircles represent the manufacturer's reported coverage diameters.
The semi -circles shown are not effective wetted areas or CAWMP wettable acres. The reader
may find that some of the drawn semi -circles will slightly overlap in coverage, but for the most part
each pull is to be considered a single pull for calculating wettable acres.
There are a total of 5 pull lanes at Rocky Ridge Farm. These designations were given to the
engineer by the farmer and should coincide with the existing CAWMP. The individual pull lanes are
shown in Table 4 below.

To facilitate record keeping it is best to keep irrigation records by pull lane within any given field.
Grassy areas outside of the pull zones can also be used for waste provided they do not infringe on
set -backs and are listed in the farmer's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If any
crop land receives waste via broadcast, it must be recorded and documented.
In 1997 Rocky Ridge Farm had an expansion to its irrigation system designed by Gra-Mac
Distributing Company. Gra-Mac's design utilized the existing irrigation equipment ' far the
expansion, but planned to install new below ground piping and permanent hydrants to each field.
Mr. Williams selected a different company (Westbrook and Jarman, Inc.) to install the permanent
piping for the expansion. Westbrook and Jarman more or less used the Gra-Mac design for their
installation. The engineer has reviewed the Gra-Mac design and the Westbrook and Jarman
installation and found the installation to be close to the parameters of Gra-Mac.
Table 5 shows some general information about the irrigation system as it was designed by Gra-Mac
Distributing Company. This information is being shown for informational purposes only. The
engineer did not confirm the precipitation rates or application rates shown in Table 5 since this is
beyond the purpose of a wettable acre determination.

IWcuable Acre Determination For Rocky Ridge Farm
' Table 7 shows the total estimated CAWMP Wettable Acres for each field by pull lane. This table is a
summary of wettable acre determination calculations showing each portion of the calculation
' process. This table was developed using a specific set of pressure and pumping criteria. If such
settings were changed the actual wettable acres will also change. The wettable acre determination
was performed using the procedures outlined in the publication titled "Irrigated Acreage
' Determination Procedures for Wastewater Application Equipment, Hard Hose Traveler Irrigation
System", published by the NC Cooperative Extension Service, NC State University.
' The reader will note the following specifics about the CAWMP Wettable Acre determination shown
in Table 7:
' 1. Rocky Ridge Farm began irrigating swine effluent sometime during the mid 1980's. In 1998
irrigated fields were added to the farm. Then engineer has used the most recent set -back or
buffer criteria for all irrigated fields even though the older fields were in use prior to 1998.
' 2. The Rocky Ridge Farm irrigation system was installed prior to October 28, 1998. Therefore it is
being considered an existing system.
' 3. Every pull at Rocky Ridge Farm is being considered a single lane. Exhibit 4 shows that some of
the wetted diameters (as published by the equipment manufacturer) overlap in a few places, but
these overlaps are very small. In addition, some of the pull lanes on Exhibit 4 show a slight
' overlap into wooded areas, but should not appreciably affect the actual wetted coverage of the
sprinkler.
4. The engineer has reduced the manufacturer's suggested wetted diameter by 19% for calculating
CAWMP wetted acres since each pull is being considered a single pull. This was done in
accordance with a Memorandum developed by the 1217 Interagency Group and dated August
' 21, 2001 and is in agreement with the Cooperative Extension publication referenced earlier.
S. Irrigated zone F3-P7 shows a gun cart nozzle pressure of 60 psi. This is the only pull zone that
' has a pressure less than 70 psi.

' Re: N.C. Agricultural Cost Share Program, Request For Payment Form. Irrigation Installation
Verification At The Rocky Ridge Farm, Richmond County. Owner is Mr. John S. Williams Jr.
1 •
' Dear Ms. Marra,
Please find attached the above referenced form. This form is number NC-ACSP-3 (8/95). I am
' attaching this letter to the form rather than signing the form itself since there are several areas that
need explanation.
' By this letter, my signature and seal I am certifying that the underground piping for the irrigation
system at the Rocky. Ridge Farm has been installed. The piping, hydrants, air vents, etc. were
installed by a different firm than originally designed the system. For clarity, below are a few
comments related to the system design and installation.
1. Rocky Ridge Farm is an established swine production operation and- has had an above ground
animal waste irrigation system for years. However, with the need for a certified design to meet
the newest animal waste regulations, Mr. Williams sought to have a certified design (i.e. to verify
the existing system adequacy or to suggest improvements) by a certified technical irrigation
specialist. The irrigation piping and pull paths were designed (and/or verified) in December of
1997 by Mr. Ronnie Wail with Gra-Mac Distributing Company. Gra-Mac's address is 2310, NC
Highway 801 North, Mocksville, NC, 27028. It is my understanding that Mr. Wall also signed
' the technical specialist certification form for this work as required by the NC Division of Water
Quality. In July of 1998, Mr. Williams obtained the services of Westbrook and Jarman, Inc.,
' P,O. Box 335, Pink Hill, NC 28572, to install permanent underground piping, etc. necessary for
the designed irrigation system. Environmental Engineering Services (EES) was not involved in
the original design or in the installation, however Mr. Williams requested EES to review the
' system as installed and verify its proper construction. On August 6, 1998 Larry F. Graham, P.E.
with EES visited the site to view the installation.
2. Westbrook and Jarman made some modifications to the Gra-Mac design when installation took
place. The primary plan deviations were:
• Gra-Mac originally designed the system to be operated with existing above ground movable
' aluminum pipe. Westbrook and Jarman used PVC pipe and installed it below ground in a
permanent configuration..
• Pulls 1 and 5 were installed so they pull opposite (Le, opposite direction) of the Gra-Mac design.
1
' P.O. BOX 426, ABERDEEN, N.C. 28315 - PHONE [phone] - FAX [phone]

' • Pull number 4 was left out due to adequate coverage by other pulls.
• Most of the pulls were increased in pull length over the Gra-Mac design.
• Various air release valves and butterfly type valves were installed by Westbrook and Jarman,
which did not appear on the Gra-Mac drawing. All valves and component parts would appear to
meet or exceeded the typical minimum standards for irrigation design..
' • Mr. Williams now has the ability to irrigate behind the lagoon dam if needed. However the
engineer would caution Mr. Williams to use extreme care in irrigating this location. The
1 broadcast wagon may be the better alternative for waste application in this area.
3. The engineer reviewed the original design calculations provided by Gra-Mac and compared these
' to the as -built system to make sure the predicted performance would not be reduced by the as -
built lay -out. While the engineer thinks the total dynamic head for some of the pulls has
increased above the original design, the basic intent and purpose of the original design has been
' kept. The engineer used previously developed, elevation information in his verification. Also, the
irrigation pump and power unit Mr. Williams is using is more than capable of pumping the
effluent as designed.
4. The actual acres now under irrigation may be greater than originally designed. Mr. Williams will
be using a broadcast type wagon to land apply onto areas out of irrigation paths. However, the
' engineer did not go back through the farmer's waste utilization plan to verify the required acres
for waste application.
5. The design values used in the construction of this system would appear to be in agreement with
standard MRCS design criteria for the irrigation of animal waste. From the on -site inspection,
discussions with others, and calculation verification the engineer believes the system has been
' installed satisfactory. The associated irrigation buffers or set -backs should be achievable with the
system as installed.
The Rocky Ridge Farm crop land is moderately to steeply sloping. Irrigation on this land will need
to be done carefully so as to not'allow the run-off of effluent. Mr. Williams has demonstrated in the
past that he can land apply waste without run-off, thus adding confirmation to the design values
presented by Gra-Mac in the original design. While the design values from Gra-Mac on application
amounts and pull rates for the traveling gun should be reasonable, it will be up to Mr. Williams to
manage his irrigation system so as to always prevent effluent run-off to surface waters.
The engineer can not take responsibility for the accuracy of all information or conclusions made by
others and referenced herein. Information given to the engineer by the owner or others and used in
this verification shall be taken as truth if it can not be verified otherwise. Much of the information
presented above is based on estimated conditions, estimated operational capabilities, etc. that are
' subject to change. When dealing with so many variables and natural elements it is impossible to
predict in advance all operational conditions, however the concepts and methodology reviewed are
reliable.
' The engineer is only certifying the presented design values and irrigation equipment adequacy of the
Rocky Ridge Farm and takes no responsibility for changes made to the above plan before, during, or
' after construction without his knowledge. Nor does the engineer take any responsibility for human

losses or property damages which should occur due to poor workmanship, improper use of
machinery, unknown conditions above or below ground level, legal problems with boundary lines or
easements, acts of nature, "short-cuts" the owner may take in system modification, or improper
system operation..
The engineer believes that the installed irrigation piping and existing irrigation equipment should be
adequate for that farm given the proper on -site level of management required is provided. No
certification can be all inclusive or contain each and every aspect of all possible outcomes associated
with high intensity animal growing operations. The engineer has not developed as -built drawings or
provided written technical specifications for this system.
I hope this information meets your needs. Please call me if there are any questions.

Field Calibration Procedures
for Animal Wastewater Application Equipment
HARD HOSE
AND CABLE
TOW TRAVELER
IRRIGATION SYSTEM
General Guidelines
Land application equipment used on animal production farms must be field
calibrated or evaluated in accordance with existing design charts and tables
according to state rules that went into effect September 1, 1996. Technical
Specialist certifying waste management plans after September 1, 1996, must
also certify that operators have been provided calibration and adjustment
guidance for all land application equipment. The rules apply to irrigation sys-
tems as well as all other types of liquid, slurry, or solid application equipment.
Information presented in manufacturers' charts are based on average op-
erating conditions for relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and applica-
tion rates change over time as equipment ages and components wear. As a
result, equipment should be field calibrated regularly to ensure that applica-
tion rates and uniformity are consistent with values used during the system
design and given in manufacturers' specifications. Field calibration involves
collection and measurement of the material being applied at several locations
in the application area. This publication contains step-by-step guidelines for
field calibration of hard hose and cable tow traveler irrigation systems.
Operating an irrigation system differently than '
assumed in the design will alter the application rate,
uniformity of coverage, and subsequently the applica-
tion uniformity. Operating with excessive pressure
results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift,
and accelerates wear of the sprinkler nozzle. 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.
Clogging of nozzles or crystallization of main lines
can result in increased pump pressure but reduced
flow at the gun. Plugged intakes will reduce operating
pressure. An operating pressure below'design pressure
greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application
uniformity. Field calibration helps ensure that nutri-
ents from animal waste are applied uniformly and at
proper rates.
The calibration of a hard hose or cable tow system
involves setting out collection containers, operating
the system, measuring the amount of wastewater
collected in each container, and then computing the
average application volume and application unifor-
mity.
An in -line flow meter installed in the main
irrigation line provides a good estimate of the total
volume pumped from the lagoon during each irriga-
tion cycle. The average application depth can be
determined by dividing the pumped volume by the
application area, The average application depth is
computed from the formula:
Average application depth (inches)
Volume pumped (gallons)
27,154 (gallac-in) X Application area (acres)
The average application depth is the average
amount applied throughout the field. Unfortunately,
sprinklers do not apply the same depth of water
throughout their wetted diameter. Under normal
operating conditions, application depth decreases
towards the outer perimeter of the wetted diameter.
Big gun sprinkler systems typically have overlap
based on a design sprinkler spacing of 70 to 80
percent of the wetted sprinkler diameter to compen-
0

sate for the declining application along the outer
perimeter. When operated at the design pressure, this
overlap results in acceptable application uniformity.
When operated improperly, well -designed systems
will not provide acceptable application uniformity.
For example, if the pressure is too low, the applica-
tion depth will be several times higher near the
center of sprinkler and water will not be thrown as
far from the sprinkler as indicated in manufacturers'
charts. Even through the average application depth
may be acceptable, some areas receive excessively
high application while others receive no application
at all.
When applying wastewater high in nutrients, it is
important to determine the application uniformity.
Collection containers distributed throughout the
application area must be used to evaluate application
uniformity.
Many types of containers can be used to collect
flow and determine the application uniformity.
Standard rain gauges work best and are recom-
mended because they already have a graduated scale
from which to read the application depth.
Pans, plastic buckets, jars, or anything with a
uniform opening and cross section can be used
provided the container is deep enough (at least 4
inches deep) to prevent splash and excessive evapora-
tion, and the liquid collected can be easily trans-
ferred to a scaled container for measuring. All con-
tainers should be the same size and shape to simplify
application depth computations.
All collection containers should be set up at the
same height relative to the height of the sprinkler
nozzle (discharge elevation). Normally, the top of
each container should be no -more than 36 inches
above the ground. Collectors should be located so
that there is no interference from the crop. The crop
canopy should be trimmed to preclude interference
or splash into the collection container.
Calibration should be performed during periods
of low evaporation. Best times are before 10 a.m. or
after 4 p.m. on days with light wind (less than 5
miles per hour). On cool, cloudy days the calibration
can be performed anytime when wind velocity is less
than 5 mph.
The volume (depth) collected during calibration
should be read soon after the sprinkler gun cart has
moved one wetted radius past the collection gauges
to minimize evaporation from the rain gauge. Where
a procedure must be performed more than once,
containers should be read and values recorded
immediately after each setup.
Calibration Setup for Hard Hose and
Cable Tow Traveling Guns
Hard hose and cable tow traveling guns are calibrated
by placing a row (transect) of collection containers or
gauges perpendicular to the direction of travel, Figure
1. The outer gauge on each end of the row should
extend past the furthest distance the gun will throw
wastewater to ensure that the calibration is performed
on the "full" wetted diameter of the gun sprinkler.
Multiple rows increase the accuracy of the calibration.
Containers should be spaced no further apart than
1/16 of the wetted diameter of the gun sprinkler not
to exceed 25 feet. At least 16 gauges should be used in
the calibration. Sixteen gauges will be adequate
except for large guns where the wetted diameter
exceeds 400 feet.
(Maximum recommended spacing between
gauges, 25 feet X 16 = 400 feet.) Gauges should be set
at least one full wetted diameter of throw from either
end of the travel lane, as shown in figure 1.
The system should be operated such that the
minimum travel distance of the gun cart exceeds the
wetted diameter of throw. Application volumes
should be read as soon as the last gauges stop being
wetted.

CALIBRATION PROCEDURES (continued)
13. Compute the average travel speed
Distance traveled (feet)
Average travel speed =
Time (minutes.)
14. Determine the application uniformity. The application uniformity is often computed using the
mathematical formula referred to as the Christiansen Uniformity Coefficient.
It is computed as follows:
Average depth (#9) -Average deviation (#11
U _) X 100
Average depth (#9)
1 S. Interpret the calibration results. The higher the index value, the more uniform the application. An index of
100 would mean that the uniformity is perfect — the exact same amount was collected in every gauge,
For travelers with proper overlap and operated in light wind, an application uniformity greater than 85 is,
common.
Application uniformity between 70 to 85 is in the "good" range and is acceptable for wastewater
application.
Generally, an application uniformity below 70 is considered unacceptable for wastewater irrigation using
travelers. If the computed Uc is less than 70, system adjustments are required. Contact your irrigation
dealer or Certified Technical Specialist for assistance.

Improved Design Provides Greater Operator Control
Greater control ... more accurate application of both clean and
wastewater. Simpler to operate ... the smooth operation of the six
speed gearbox eliminates
the need for multiple beltsy
and pulleys while provid-
Q�
ing a full range of operat-
ing speeds. Within a high
w
and low range there are
three speeds for increased
rt
precision and accuracy in
controlling application
rates. Knowing and con-
trolling your application:.�
rates have become crucial
Six speed gearbox
wastewater management
tools when trying to adhere to ever increasing regulations. Both
the Model 1030 and 1033 are available with the standard 5.5 HP
Honda engine or the
efficient Pelton
},
Wheel slurry tur-
bine, the Pelton
Wheel turbine is the
ideal drive system
when connected to
the Irrigation com-
puter. This combi-
nation provides pin-
point accuracy for
applying wastewater
or slurry from holding
areas such as tanks
Pelton Wheel slurry turbine and/or lagoons.
This improved
design only starts with the drive system. Other enhancements
include:
• A constant pressure automatic braking system which
' increases tension when the hose is being pulled out but reverts to
lighter tension as the hose is being retrieved.
'• A positive action lock down. When engaged, this simple one
way ratchet will lock the reel in place when shifting the gearbox to
neutral, as well as secure the reel for transport when desired.

• A miswind sensor. Should a miswind irregularity ever occur,
this sensor will automatically disengage the drive, protecting the
Reel Rain from damage.
• Fixed frame and turntable models. In an effort to offer Reel
Rain customers the widest range of options, both the 1030 and
1033 are available
with or without a
turntable.
• Increased
speed range. From
.5 feet per minute to
12.5 feet per

the ability to control
