Description of Repair
Vernon Cox
Director
The southern dike at the DC Mills Farm in Jones County breached in December 2020. Based on
observations during a site evaluation conducted on 1/12/2021, it was determined that the most likely
cause for this breach was waste flow through cracks in an underlying limestone layer (see Soil Evaluation
Report). There were no indications that the lagoon's structural integrity was compromised in any other
areas besides the single breach through the southern dike.
Therefore, it is recommended that:
(1) The hole of the breach will be filled in as best as possible with clay and compacted. The
surrounding dike appears to be structurally sound and well compacted clay, so disturbing the
remainder of the dike is not necessary.

(2) The entire lagoon will be lined with a 60 mil HDPE liner. A budget proposal from a local liner installation
company, Chesapeake Containment Systems, has been included with this Repair Plan. Standard details
from the installer have also been included. Chesapeake Containment will install the liner according to
manufacturer specifications, as well as NRCS Standards 359 (Waste Treatment Lagoon) and 521 (Pond
Sealing or Lining—Geomembrane or Geosynthetic Clay Liner). To prevent gas build-up under the liner, a
ventilation system will need to be included in the installation. There are two options for this listed in the
budget proposal, with the strip ventilation layer recommended.
This plan will repair the existing breach in the lagoon and prevent any additional existing cracks in the
limestone layer from resulting in breaches in the future.

Soils Evaluation Report
Date of Evaluation: 1-12-2021 Report Date: 1-14-2021
Project: Lagoon Repair at farm 52-13 Client: Donnie Mills
Objective of Soils Evaluation: To evaluate soils used in the construction of an anerobic lagoon
that has developed a leak.
Soil Scientists: Edward Stephens, Soil Scientist, NCDA&CS DSWC
Other Participants: Martin McLawhorn, Environmental Specialist, NCDA&CS DSWC
Marlene Salyer, NCDENR DWR
Chris Love, Engineer, NCDA&CS DSWC
Kevin Weston, Smithfield Foods
Donnie Mills, Farm Owner
Location: The farm is near Hargett's Crossroads on Lee Mills Road in Jones County. Coordinates
recorded in decimal degrees are: 35.012769, -77.614509.
Geology/Topography: The lagoon is built on an upland landscape position on soil mapped as
Goldsboro loamy sand, 0-2% slope. Tuckahoe Creek flows near the lagoon. A soil map is attached to
this report.
Field Work: A large tracked excavator with an operator was on site to assist with the soil evaluation.
Two pits were excavated and then filled in after evaluation. Elevation and depth measurement data was
collected with a Topcon laser construction level and should be considered preliminary. A site map
showing the lagoon and approximate locations of the conveyance is attached.
General Observations:
1. The lagoon was completed in 1994. The construction checklist has a hand-written note that
mentions a geotextile liner that was covered by 1' of "good plastic material". This note does not specify
the type of geotextile or the USCS classification of the soil installed as a liner. Mr. Mills stated that clay
for the lagoon liner and dike wall core was trucked in form Pink Hill, NC.
2. The lagoon structure appeared to be well maintained. The structure was free of trees and was
covered in grass.
3. A hole over 8' deep and 3-4' in diameter was observed on the toe slope of the lagoon on the outside
bordered by Tuckahoe Creek. A photograph of the hole is included as Figure 1. The hole had been
created by the flow of effluent under pressure from the lagoon. A hole approximately 3' in diameter
1

was observed on the inside of the lagoon on the inner slope. The hole was the inlet to the conveyance
and had been temporarily diked with soil from the top of the structure.
4. The hole on the inside of the lagoon was enlarged with the excavator to provide access to the clay
core. The core appeared to be constructed of cohesive soil that was compacted. The inlet hole was
nearly vertical and is not thought to penetrate through the core. The hole was filled in and tamped with
the excavator bucket to serve as a temporary repair to prevent effluent discharge.
5. The hole on the outside of the lagoon was enlarged to determine how effluent was leaving the
lagoon. At a depth of approximately 8.5' a layer of hard sedimentary rock or marl was observed. The
excavator could not continue digging past the top of that layer. The soil that was excavated around the
outlet hole was native, coarse textured soil with some silt and clay content. The excavated soil was
returned to the pit and was compacted with the excavator bucket.
6. Effluent was observed entering the outlet hole/excavated pit from the Tuckahoe Creek side instead of
the lagoon side. The volume of the flow was similar to a 6" irrigation pipe with very low pressure, the
effluent bubbled into the pit from an unseen opening in the sedimentary rock.
6. According to Mr. Mills, Tuckahoe Creek has exceeded its banks several times recently due to heavy
rains associated with hurricanes. Flood waters from Tuckahoe Creek have encroached on the toe slope
of the lagoon structure before receding.
Results:
Based on observations of the effluent conveyance it seems likely that the clay liner has
failed and allowed effluent to discharge from the lagoon structure. A localized repair of the
liner in the conveyance and adjacent area should be sufficient to repair the structure. Clay
from a local clay mine or bentonite should be considered. The core of the lagoon structure is
thought to be in good repair since the discharge was not attributed to an overtop event or high
levels of effluent and the dike wall remains in place.
A possible cause of the liner failure is the amount of water that has been absorbed,
discharged or transmitted through the soil and fractured sedimentary rock adjacent to and
under the lagoon structure. Due to the recent hurricanes and tropical weather systems that
have passed through southeastern North Carolina the water table has been at or above the
surface for extended periods. Recent temporary changes to the hydrology could have allowed
soil and rock to shift. A weak spot in the lagoon liner may have allowed the flow of effluent
down through the sedimentary rock and back to the surface on the outside toe slope of the
lagoon structure.
