Great care should be taken when land -applying sludge from animal waste lagoons. Many opportunities
for release of waste during removal, transport, and application to surface water or public rights -of -way can
occur. Take all reasonable caution during the sludge removal process to reduce the chance of a release,
and take care not to damage the lagoon's dam and liner.

Condtional Sludge Amendment
1. A good representative sludge analysis and liquid analysis taken prior to sludge removal are required
to accurately determine the amount of plant available nitrogen (PAN), phosphorus, copper and zinc
contained in the waste.
2. A soil sample report for fields proposed to receive the sludge must be obtained (1) within the twenty-
four months prior to sludge application and (2) following the last application of waste prior to the
proposed sludge application. This report will serve as the basis for estimating persistent metal
(copper and zinc) effects on soil indices.
3. Sludge should be applied at agronomic rates. Sludge should be only applied to the fields In this plan
and to the receiving crops listed.
4. Remove as much liquid from lagoon as possible,
5. Agitate and pump to field(s) that have been evaluated to receive sludge.
6. Recommend that sludge be applied only to fields that are not used for animal waste application to
prevent phosphorus and persistent metal build-up that render sites unsuitable for long-term waste
application.
7. If the sludge is to be applied on spray fields already listed in the CAWMP, the operation's overall
PAN balance must include the additional PAN from the sludge and still remain in a PAN deficit for
the animal operation.
8. Recommend that potential increases in copper and zinc soil levels be estimated.
9. New fields receiving animal waste or sludge for the first time must met current setbacks, and buffers
including, but not limited to:
a. Perennial Streams-75 feet
b. Wells-100 feet
c. Dwelling not owned by the producer-200 feet
d. Perennial water-25 feet
e. Residential property boundary-75 feet
10. If sludge is applied on conventionally tilled bare soil, the waste shall be Incorporated Into the soil within
two days after application on the land. This NPDES/General Permit requirement does not apply to
no -till fields, pasture or fields where crops are actively growing,
11. Sludge application must be balanced with a current waste analysis on the SLUR-1 and SLUR-2 forms,
or other forms approved by DWQ.
12. The permittee is responsible for documenting all sludge applications made to both the owned and the
leased fields listed in the CAWMP/WUP sludge amendment.
13. For sludge transfer, the permittee must document the name and address of the recipient, and the volume
of sludge removed from the farm. The permittee must provide the third party receiver with a current
sludge and liquid analysis and information for proper land application management as required by the
farm's permit.

(Design Capacity)
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of
surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the
amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops In the fields where the waste is to be applied. This
waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each
application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced
for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are Important In implementing your waste utilization plan In order to maximize the
fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that It Is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always
apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste Do not
apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration
rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally
waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special
precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per year. Do not apply waste on
saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in
runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be
considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop
production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or
applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will
conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type
of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste
management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and
transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carded out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Map Unit Descriptions
The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the
soils or miscellaneous areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions, along
with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit.
A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more
major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named
according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic
class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the
landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the
characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some
observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class.
Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without
including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made
up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor
components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils.
Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the
map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called
noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a
particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties
and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different
management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They
generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the
scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas
are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a
given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit
descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor
components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not
mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
conveyances, direct application, or dired discharge during operation or land application. Any
discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
2 There must be documentatbn in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an
agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer
does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a Dopy of an
agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/herthe use of
the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an
update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, Increase h the
number of animals, method of utilization, or available land.
3 Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop
yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic wnditions, and level of
management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other
nutrients.
4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may
be applied to land that Is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year
providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard
393 - Filter Strip).
5 Odors can be reduced by hjecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should
not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field.
6 When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, It will be soil incorporated on
conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservatbn tilled crops or grassland, the
waste may be broadcast provkled the application does not ocairduring a season prone to
flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" forguidance.)
7 Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil Infiltration rate such that runoff
does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the
site during application. No ponding should occur In order to control odor or flies.
8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rahfall events, or when the surface

covered with waste to a depth that would inhbit growth. The potential for salt damage from
animal waste should also be considered,
10 Waste nutrients shall not be applied in hall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a
high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils shout! 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 priorto planting of the crop orforages breakingdomiancy.

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 in the 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, convert the total surface area to a square
or rectangular shape. For exact volumes for lagoons with constant side slope, the "Prismoidal Equations" may be used.
Example Your Lagoon

11. Thickness of total treatment zone (Z) Z= T+Y 6 fl 8.2 fl
12. Length at midpoint of total tmt. zone L= L-2(S)(D-(Z/2) 409 ft. 433.8 ft.
13. Width at midpoint of total tmt. Zone WW = W-2(S)(D-(Z/2) 181 ft. 153.8 ft.
14. Volume of total treatment zone (Vz) Vz = LZ WZZ 444,174 ft3 547,091 ft3
15. Ratio ( R) of sludge layer volume to total Treatment Volume
R = Vs/Vz 0.38 0.50
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) / (444,174 - 85,000) = 84,860 / 359,174 = 0.24.
