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 information on the Lagoon Sludge Survey Form (Item O and P, respectively). 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 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 multily by layer thickness to calculate layer volume. 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.

If the ratio exceeds 50%, than a sludge Plan of Action may be required. Check with DWO for Information on
elina 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:

NARRATIVE: Use this section to describe the method(s) that will be used to lower the sludge
depth. If microbe use is planned, specify the product to be used.
1) Sludge Management Plan (In accordance with NRCS Standard 359, Sludge Management Guidance):
Continue current lagoon management and monitoring of sludge as long as:
A) the sludge level is less than the stop pump level of the lagoon,
B) nutrient values of the lagoon effluent are within the normal operating range,
C) there is no noticeable increase in lagoon odor,
D) a minimum 2.5 ft deep zone, free of sludge, at the pump intake is maintained, and
E) nutrients applied from lagoon are properly accounted for in the application plan (NUP)..
2) Sludge Removal - Within 90 days of not maintaining the items listed in the above sludge management plan,
one of the following options will commence:
A) Mechanical Removal by Pump and Haul - a sludge utilization/application plan will be developed that
identifies land in the vicinity of the lagoon that will allow for the application of the agitated/mixed sludge
layer of the lagoon. Implementation of the plan will commence within another 180 days. Records will be
kept of these applications as required by the permit.
B) Mechanical Removal by Dewatering - sludge will be removed by dredge or lagoon agitator pump then
mixed with polymer and pumped into geotextile tubes (bags) for dewatering, as outlined in the Management
Plan of the Distribution of Animal Residual Solids Permit, #WQ0037487. After curing for approximately 6
months solids will be distributed within 2 years either
i) as a Class A material in accordance with permit #W00037487, or
ii) if the sollds do not meet Class A standards, in accordance with a sludge utilization/application plan
for land application.
I hereby certify that I have reviewed the information listed above and included within the attached
Plan of Action, and to the best of my knowledge and ability, the information is accurate and
correct. I further certify and acknowledge that compliance with regard to sludge accumulation
must be achieved within two years of the original sludge survey indicating non-compliance.
