Compliance Timeframes:
If the sludge level is equal to or higher than the stop pump level of the lagoon or if the sludge level
results in an elevated waste analysis, a sludge management plan that meets the requirements of SB
Interagency Group Guidance Document 1.26 must be prepared by a technical specialist and submitted to
DWR within 90 days. Work to reduce the sludge level must begin within another 180 days. Compliance
with NRCS Standard 359 must be achieved within two years of the original sludge survey.
If the sludge level is non-compliant but below the stop pump level of the lagoon, a POA must be filed
within 90 days and compliance with NRCS Standard 359 must be achieved within two years of the
original sludge survey indicating non-compliance. If future sludge surveys do not show improvement in
sludge levels, DWR may require the owner to develop a sludge management plan that meets the ,'
requirements of SB Interagency Group Guidance Document 1.27.

Appendix 3.Worksheet for sludge volume and treatment volume Revised August 2008
The average thickness of the sludge layer and the thickness of the existing liquid(sludge-free)treatment zone are determined
from the information on the Lagoon Sludge Survey Form(Items 0 and P,respectively).In this example,the average sludge
layer thickness is 2.5 feet and the existing liquid treatment zone is 3.5 feet.If the lagoon has a designed.sludge_storage volume,_
see notes at end of the worksheet.The dimensions of the lagoon as measured and the side slope are needed ,
for calculations of sludge volume and of total treatment volume.If the lagoon is a standard geometric shape,the sludge
volume and.the treatment volume-inthe,lagoon.can..be estimated.by using:standard:equations:.For approximate:volumes.
of rectangular lagoons with constant side slope,calculate length and width at the midpoint of the layer,and multiply by layer
thickness to calculate layer volume,as shown.in.the example_For irregular shapes,convertthe total surface area to a square
or rectangular shape.For exact volumes for lagoons with constant side slope,the"Prismoidal Equations"may be used.

13.Width at midpoint of total tmt.Zone WZ =W 2(S)(D-(Z!2) 181 ft. 237.7 ft.
14.Volume of total treatment zone(Vz) Vz=LZWZZ 444,174 ft3 624,854 ft3
15.Ratio(R)of sludge layer volume to total Treatment Volume
R=VsNz 0.38 0.52
If the:ratio.R exceeds.0.50,than a-sludge Plan of Action may be required. Check,with DWQ for information
on filing the Plan of Action.
Note: If the lagoon has a designed sludge storage volume(DSSV),subtract that volume from both the volume
of sludge.(Vs)(Item 8)and from the volume of total treatment zone(Vz)(Item 14),and take the ratio.
Then,R=(Vs-DSSV)/(Vz-DSSV)
Example: If DSSV=85,000 ft3,then R=(169,860-85,000)/(447,174-85,000)=84,860/362,174=0.24.

17. Ratio(R)-of sludge layer volume to treatment volume adjusted
for designed sludge storage volume - 0.24 - 0.52
