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:

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 721bs/ac (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.
1 understand that applying macronutrients or micronutrients at rates that significantly exceed the

WHAT IS NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT?
Nutrient Management is applying nutrients
from all sources with the right placement, in
the right amount, at the right time, and from
the right source to minimize nutrient losses to
surface and groundwater. This practice is
accomplished through development and
implementation of a Nutrient Management
Plan, which can be part of a broader
Conservation Plan or CNMP that addresses
multiple resource concerns.
PURPOSE OF NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT
A nutrient management plan is intended to
accomplish one or more of the following
objectives:
• To budget, supply, and conserve nutrients for
plant production.
• To minimize agricultural nonpoint source
pollution of surface and groundwater
resources.
• To properly utilize manure or organic by-
products as a plant nutrient source.
• To protect air quality by reducing odors,
nitrogen emissions (ammonia, oxides of
nitrogen), and the formation of atmospheric
particulates.
• To maintain or improve the physical, chemical,
and biological condition of soil.
CONTENTS OF THE NUTRIENT
MANAGEMENT PLAN
The following components are included in
nutrient management plan specifications

by the CNMP or applicable NC DWQ or
NDPES permit.
Where precision/variable rate nutrient
application applications are planned and
made, some required planning components of
the preceding section may be provided by the
overall conservation plan. In addition, the
following components are required in nutrient
management planning.
• The geo-referenced field boundary and data
collected that was processed and analyzed as
a GIS layer or layers to generate nutrient or
soil amendment recommendations.
• Planned nitrogen application rates based on
NC RYEs or sufficiently documented yield
records

rates must be provided as specifications prior
to application.
Note —where Diammonium phosphate (1846-
0) is the primary variable rate P fertilizer
source applied on legume crops, additional N
will likely be needed to achieve RYEs.
The plan was developed based on the current
NRCS 590 standard and Federal, state, or
local regulations or policies. Changes in laws
or regulations may require a plan modification.
This Job Sheet is a required supplement to
the Nutrient Management Plan.
NC Permitted Animal Operations: For NC
DENR-DWR or NPDES permitted animal
operations, the waste utilization portion of the
Certified Animal Waste Management Plan
(CAWMP) must meet requirements specified by
the Permit. The NC 1217 Interagency Group
provides guidance on the required minimum
elements of a CAWMP. This guidance is found in
Sec 1.1 of the latest 1217 Guidance Document,
located at:
httr)://www.ncagr.gov/SWC/tech/�guidancedocumen
ts.html.
Nitrogen Leaching Index Values
Nitrogen Leaching Index values, obtained through
use of current Soil Hydrologic Group ISHGI-based
LI index maps in Sec II of the NC FOTG or RUSLE
2 field -specific soil loss calculations, are included
in the Nutrient Management Plan. SHGs per soil
map unit are available through selection of the Soil
Data Explorer and Soil Properties and Qualities
(then select "Soil Qualities and Features") tabs
once an Area of Interest has peen defined in
NRCS Web Soil Survey.
If the Nitrogen Leaching Index > 10 for planned
fields, appropriate conservation practices must be
included in a conservation plan to prevent nitrogen
from leaving the field via surface or subsurface
runoff.

NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT PLAN
DEVELOPMENT
The nutrient management plan has been
developed to meet nutrient application rate criteria
for all sources of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium
as specified by NRCS 590 Nutrient Management
standard criteria.
In addition to NCDA Agronomic Division soil test
recommendations, or soil test recommendations
made through similar guidelines, the plan is based
on NC INMC approved values for realistic yield
goals, nitrogen factors, phosphorus removal rates,
default nutrient values for animal waste, plant
availability coefficients for N, P, and K, and animal
waste generation volumes where applicable.
Approved values are found at:
htto://nutrients.soil.ncsu.edulndex htm
Where manure is applied, farm records may also
be used through a procedure provided in SIB 1217
Interagency Group guidance, available at:
httQ://www.ncaar.aov/SWCAech/1217committee ht
ml
For NC permitted animal operations, planning
requirements for Plan "Amendments" (minor
modifications) and "Revisions" (Major
Modifications) are clarified by SIB 1217 Interagency
Group Guidance.
ADDITIONAL PHOSPHORUS -RELATED
PLAN INFORMATION (Applicable when
increases in Soil Test P are expected on
the planned areal
In NC, a field -speck Phosphorus Loss
Assessment Tool (PLAT) evaluation is completed
in accordance with 590 Nutrient Management
standard General Criteria requirements, and
phosphorus must be applied in accordance with
590 standard Manure Phosphorus Application
Rates.
In addition to the basic plan components, plan
information on PLAT categorical ratings, P
drawdown strategies, and conservation practices
to reduce P loss risk is required when increases in
Soil Test P are expected on the Planned area.
Typically, this could occur when manure is
consistently applied at Nitrogen -based rates. High
levels of phosphorus in the surface soil layer have
been linked to increasing risk of P loss through
surface runoff and leaching.
❑ Increases in Soil Test P are expected
on the planned area (not typical if P
application made per soil test results).
When soil test F

Information:
Implementation f a phosphorus 'drawdown'

P currently pres nt in the soil surface.
Crop specific estimated annual P removal amounts
are available on he NCSY Nutrient Management
in NC website:
conservation pr ctices, especially those that
prevent soil part le detachment and trap sediment
at field edges ar effective in preventing
phosphorus mo ement from the planned site.
Manure applicat n techniques can also be applied
to reduce P loss risk. Theese practices must be
included in the c nservati6n plan where
determined PLA risk = H�GH for planned fields.

NC-590 Job Sheet May 2015 I page 3
Long Term Strategy for Reduction of Soil P
Levels:
As noted in the P drawdown strategy section, the
only currently proven method for reducing high
levels of soil P is not applying P, paired with
producing crops on the planned site that use
existing soil P. Where soil P and PLAT
evaluations indicate an increasing risk to water
quality, substantially reducing soil P levels through
crop uptake can take many years of
implementation. When P is not applied, and
existing soil P is used by crops, eventually, soil will
become P deficient. Consult CES or NCDA
Regional Agronomy specialists for additional
information soil test P reduction timelines.
Manure P produced in excess of crop
requirements:
Consult the nutrient management plan for a
quantification of manure generated by the animal
feeding operation that may exceed crop P
requirements.
"Manure Hauler" Information
All manure waste applied on land owned by or
controlled by the Animal Feeding Operation (AFO)
owner or operator must be included in the nutrient
management plan. The volume difference in total
manure waste generated by the AFO and waste
applied to land not owned or controlled by the
producer must be accounted for in a nutrient
management plan.
General information on manure waste generated
by an AFO to be applied to land not owned or
controlled by the AFO owner or operator may be
recorded as specked in the NC CLAMP
Certification Sheet and Documentation Checklist or
other supplemental documentation to the nutrient
management plan. NRCS CNMP technical criteria
require documentation of manure exports off the
farm (this can be done below). The AFO
owner/operator should provide the third party
applicator with a current waste analysis in order to
facilitate agronomic crop application of the facility's
generated waste. Should land not owned or
controlled by the AFO owner or operator be
included in a nutrient management plan, the
complete plan must meet 590 criteria.
Type and Quantity of Animal Feeding Operation
(AFO) manure generated by the facility:
1400 F7eedcf -4 4?w iS h
RECORDKEEPING
Waste reports from the NCDA & CS Agronomic
Division, or equivalent, are acceptable sources of
information for determining applied manure nutrient
amounts for recordkeeping or crop budgeting
purposes.
Records must be maintained for at least 5 years, or
for time and manner required by Permit for animal
operations to document plan implementation and
maintenance. As applicable, records include:
• soil, plant tissue, water, manure, and
organic by-product analyses resulting in
recommendations for nutrient application,
• quantities, analyses and sources of
nutrients applied,
• dates, and method(s) of nutrient
applications, source of nutrients, and rates
of application,
• weather conditions and soil moisture at the
time of application; lapsed time to manure
incorporation; rainfall or irrigation event,
• crops planted, planting and harvest dates,

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
The producer is responsible for safe operation and
maintenance of this practice, including all
equipment. Review the plan periodically to
determine if adjustments or modifications to the
plan are needed. In NC, animal operations
permitting provisions may specify more frequent
review periods. Adhere to the following operation
and maintenance provisions:
• Protect fertilizer and organic by-product
storage facilities from weather and accidental
leakage or spillage.
• Properly calibrate application equipment to
ensure uniform distribution of material at
planned rates.
• Workers should be protected from and avoid
unnecessary contact with inorganic fertilizers
and organic by-products. Extra caution must
be taken when handling ammonia sources of
nutrients, or when dealing with organic wastes
stored in unventilated enclosures.
• The disposal of material generated by the
cleaning of nutrient application equipment
should be accomplished properly. Excess
material should be collected and stored or field
applied in an appropriate manner. Excess
material should not be applied on areas of high
potential risk for runoff or leaching.
• Disposal or recycling of nutrient containers
should be done according to state and local
guidelines or regulations.

NOTE: All ingredients average set up for acreage of practice applied on ground. To figure acreage to be seeded
multiply the length times the width of the area to be seeded and divide by 43560 to get an average figure.
EXAMPLE: Grass Waterway -- 30 ft wide / 600 ft long
30 X 600 = 18000; 18000/43560 =.41 acres (rounded off to 0.4 acres)
