Details
*Read the entire Lagoon Closure design packet before starting any work.
*Contact the NC Division of Water Resources at least 24 hours prior to beginning
the Closure operation.
*Attend the Pre Construction meeting prior to starting work.
*Insure the prescribed amount of gray water has been removed and applied on
an approved plan site. Insure the remaining gray water is present on top of the
sludge to match the Waste Plan prescription before agitation begins.
Lagoon Closure Plan
ft. of water to be top of sludge before agitation begins.
*After agitation has been completed obtain a sample and have it analyzed before
land application begins. Review the nutrient analysis with the Plan author to
insure it is equal to the prior sludge survey samples or more dilute.
*If the agitated sample is equal to or the prior sludge survey samples then land
apply according to the approved plan. Insure all equipment operators are
informed of the maximum application rates and application locations.
*Observe all Buffers included on the application fields.
Stay 100 feet from any wells
Stay 200 feet from any non -controlled residence/dwelling
Stay 25 feet from any streams or ditches and highways.
*See the Plan for application rates/field they are not all the same in each field.
*Do not apply waste on fields that are not included in the plan and do not exceed
the application rates/acres.
*Remove all waste from the Lagoon unless it can be determined the seasonal high
water table is above the lagoon bottom.
*Install a 12" ID PVC or 12" ID smooth inner wall driveway culvert pipe through
the lagoon dike as indicated by the Northampton Soil and Water Conservation
District Staff.
*Stabilize all disturbed areas by liming, fertilizing, seeding and mulching according
to the seeding specification sheet.
*Provide written application of waster records on the required forms for each
field where waste was applied.
I have read and agree to the components of this Waster Management Plan.

Swine Lagoon Closure
1 /23/2023
Type of Plan: Nutrient Management with Closure Cleanout Only
Narrative:
Producer: Jimmy F. Barrow Home # 252-534-7901 Cell #252-578-7901
Address: 732 Barrows Mill Rd. Jackson, NC 27845
Operation Location: % mile west of 732 Barrows Mill Rd. (Northside)
Type Operation: Topping Feeder to Finish
Number of Animal Units 1000
The operation was provided a notice of contract cancellation by Smithfield on April 7, 2021.
Converted to annual average capacity of no greater than zero swine with NC Division of
Environmental Quality on Sept. 30, 2022.
Jimmy F. Barrow has applied for Lagoon Closure Assistance with the Swine and Dairy Assistance
Program and has been approved for assistance for closure.
The operation has one lagoon to be closed where by the contents of the Lagoon will be measured,
sampled, mixed and land applied utilizing a properly approved waste utilization plan signed off by
an individual with the appropriate waste closure job approval authority with the NC Division of Soil
& Water Conservation and conforming to the rules and guidelines within the NRCS Technical
guide standards and specifications including but not limited to the NC Realistic yield expectations.
The Lagoon Closure Volumes shows 4 feet of liquid volume above 6.5 feet of sludge volume.
Three feet of the liquid volume will be land applied through an irrigation system on the spray field
for this operation leaving one foot of liquid and 6.5 feet of slurry. The remaining volumes of liquid
and sludge will be agitated before land application begins as shown in the plan. A sample will be
pulled once agiutation is complete and delivered to the NCDA lab for analyzing. The results from
this sample will compared to the results determined in the Lagoon Closure software using the
volumes and waste analysis from the November liquid and sludge samples.
It should be noted that the Agricultural Producer Austin Bryant has provided cotton yield data to
support a yield increase well beyond 1200 lbs. of lint/ac. The waste utilization will only utilize a
conservative yield of 1200 lbs. lint cotton/acre and use the program nitrogen yield factor for each
soil and crop type, which includes full season soybeans and upland cotton. The yield data is
attached to the plan.
The Lagoon will be closed and transformed into a clean water pond with the appropriate spillway
devices as computed by the NRCS Area Engineer, which could be a pipe device or earthen
spillway or both.
The appropriate buffers for streams, wells, open ditches and residential property have been
identified and reduced from the planned land application fields.
The waste utilization plan was developed using 2022 crop year soil samples, which used the
Mehlich III sampling method.

Planned Crops Summary
Swine Lagoon Closure
The table shown below provides a summary of the crops or rotations included in the plan for each field. Realistic Yield estimates
and Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) recommendations 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 filed'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.

<2 leaching below the root zone.
Moderate potential to contribute to soluble nutrient
> = 2 & < = 10 leaching below the root zone.
>10
High potential to contribute to soluble nutrient
leaching below the root zone.
Technical Guidance
None
Nutrient Management (590) should be planned.
Nutrient Management (590) should be planned. Other conservation
practices that improve available water holding capacity of soil and
improve nutrient use efficiency should be considered. Examples are
Cover Crops (340) to scavenge nutrients, Sod -Based Rotations (328),
Long -Term No -Till (778), and edge -of -field practices such as Filter
Strips(393) and Riparian Forest Buffers (391).

Required Soil Test Values
Swine Lagoon Closure
The Required Soil Test Values shown in the following table provide a summary of recommended actions that
should be taken based off information provided at time of soil tests. Fields that receive manure must have a soil
analysis conducted at least once every three years. 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 Ibs/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 first crop listed 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. If the first crop or rotation changes,
these recommendations may need to be reevaluated to ensure optimal ranges ofr crop production are
maintained.

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, storical data,
climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations
that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients.
a. 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).
s. 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).
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 than 25 feet to perennial waters.
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet 4 - 6 x- 4 �
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other
than those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public
right-of-ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainage ways, 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 wash down 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.
2o. 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.
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.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE POTENTIAL IMPACTS ON A SITE
FROM APPLYING LAGOON SLUDGE
As part of either a lagoon closure operation or on -going lagoon maintenance, the attached plan
has been developed to apply sludge to the following areas:
Tracts & Field Numbers: I L,,%,T 1-7 SS r' e4 1-+- 7—
While using animal waste as a source of nutrients for crops in lieu of inorganic fertilizers is an
ecologically sound practice, producers should be aware that sludge that accumulates in a lagoon
may have high concentrations of nutrients and."or heavy metals. Accordingly, the quantity of
phosphorus and micronutrients in the material to be applied may exceed the fertility
requirements of planned crops.
Metals. High concentrations of metals in the soil can impact crop growth or yields. The
application of lagoon sludge has the potential to significantly increase the concentration
of metals (particularly copper and zinc) in the soil. NCSU and NCDA&CS recommend
that alternative sites for waste application be sought when soil concentrations of zinc (Zn)
exceed 142 lbs ac (Zn-I of 2000) or copper (Cu) exceed 72 lbslac (Cu-I of 2000). A Cu-I
or Zn-I of 3000 is recognized as a critical toxic level for some crops. For peanuts,
alternative sites are recommended when the Zn-I is 300, and a Zn-I of 500 is recognized
as a critical toxic level. Producers should be aware of the post -application Cu and Zn
concentrations predicted on the sites planned for sludge application. Additionally, soil
pH should be maintained at 6.0 or above to minimize risk of toxicity.
Phosphorus. Phosphorus (P) concentration in lagoon sludge may be high. Because P
adsorbs onto iron, aluminum, and calcium, the soil can bind and store excess P. When P
concentrations reach higher concentrations, there is an increasing potential for P to be
transported offsite and become a pollutant of surface waters. This transport may occur
through soil erosion, or as a soluble form in surface runoff or leaching. An assessment of
the risk for P loss to surface water is required as part of a nutrient management plan for
permitted operations or those receiving federal or state cost -share assistance. If the
potential for P transport offsite is high, then future application of animal waste may not
be allowed in a nutrient management plan. Producers should be aware that applying
lagoon sludge may limit the ability to use the site for future animal waste application.
Accordingly, applying lagoon sludge to fields that are planned for future waste
application as part of a nutrient management plan is not advised.
I understand that applying macronutrients or micronutrients at rates that significantly exceed the
expected crop removal could limit the fitture use of the field as a waste application site, and in
some cases, negatively impact fittttre plant growth. I voluntarily agree to apply sludge to the
fields identified above that 1 own or operate according to the attached nutrient management plan
or lagoon closure plan. (*Both landowner and farmer: operator must sign.)
