The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface water 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. You must have the
animal waste analyzed to determine nutrient content as close to the time of application as
practical and at least within 60 days of the date of application before each application
cycle. Soil nutrients in all fields where waste will be applied must be analyzed at least
annually (annual soil tests) so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of
the crop to be grown. Soil test and waste analysis records shall be kept for five (5) years.
Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste
application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years.
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:
1 . 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. Lime must
be applied to application fields as recommended by soil test to maintain the plant
uptake of nutrients.

WASTE UTILIZATION -PLAN
Page 2 2/2/2007
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials,
cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per
year. With special precautions, (see Required Specification No. 4) waste may be
applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Two fields in your plan will
require these measures. These measures must be installed prior to waste application.
The SWCD can provide assistance with conservation practice design.
4. 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 a violation of
the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) .0200 regulations.
5. Wind conditions at the time of field application of waste should also be considered to
avoid drift and downwind odor problems.
6. 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. Otherwise apply waste no
earlier than 30 days prior to planting a crop or prior to forages breaking dormancy.
Injecting or otherwise incorporating the waste below the soil surface will conserve
nutrients and reduce odor problems.
7. Zinc and copper levels in the soils in all fields where waste is applied shall be
monitored and alternative application fields shall be used when these metals approach
excess levels.
This plan is based on waste application by IRRIGATION AND TANKER SPREADER. If
you choose to alter the method(s) of application in the future, you need to revise this plan.
Nutrient levels for various waste application methods are not the same.
The estimated number of acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical
nutrient content for dairy systems in North Carolina. Actual acreage requirements shall
be based on waste analysis reports from storage structures in your waste management
system.
Your WASTE STORAGE POND is designed for 98 DAYS OF TEMPORARY STORAGE
and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every THREE
months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure be
higher than the maximum storage marker except in the event of a 25 year, 24 hour storm.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report if you need
assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate
prior to applying the waste.
The waste management system which is covered by this waste utilization plan shall be
operated only by persons which hold a valid certificate as"ari operator in charge of an

T_TTL� TION PLAN

animal waste management system. The North Carolina Water Quality Commission will
provide training and certification of operators.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A
NCAC 2H .0217 (the .0200 rules) adopted by the Water Quality Commission.

Applying the above amount of waste as calculated above is a big job. You should plan
time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
Values used above are based on analysis of waste from similar livestock operations in
North Carolina (source: USDA-NRCS FOTG Practice Standard 633-Waste Utilization).
Actual nutrient content of the waste from this system may vary from these values. Waste
analysis should be made of the actual waste as soon as possible after significant waste
accumulates in the storage structure(s).
The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N
requirements. In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North
Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only
addresses nitrogen.

Y WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Page 7 2/2/2007
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the infiltration rate of the soil at the time
of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture
content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application
amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of
irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the
crop.
It is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation
system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in tables 1 through 3. Failure to
apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this
plan invalid.
Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying forage plants under stress condition.
Nitrate poisoning may occur in livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is
recommended.

WASTE APPLICATION TABLES
The crop fields shown in the Waste Application Tables that follow are available for waste
application. It will not be necessary and may not be desirable to apply waste to each of
these fields in any given year.
The Lbs. of Nitrogen Per Acre shown in the tables are estimated annual nitrogen (N)
requirements of the crop to be grown based on the potential productivity of the soil and
assuming no double cropping.
The Recommended Lbs. of N to be Applied per acre indicates the Nitrogen that can be
reasonably applied to the crop and used by the crop in a timely manner using animal
waste alone. It will not be practical to meet all the nutrient needs of some crops with
animal waste. Supplemental applications of commercial fertilizer may be required during
the growing season in order to meet all crop nutrient needs. It is assumed that for certain
row crops only a fraction of the total annual nitrogen requirement can be applied using
animal waste.
The landowner shall record the actual waste application volume made on each field on the
Department of Water Quality Waste Application Record Form.
The following legend explains the crop codes used in the field application tables:

Narrative of Operation:
T & C Dairy has a slurry storage pond that was constructed in the 1990's without the
assistance of the NRCS or the Soil and Water Conservation District. The dairy runs a
maximum of 300 head in the confined area. All waste water and scraped manure is
directed into the waste storage pond. Based on information supplied by Tony Nesbitt, and
our surveys, the pond capacity is approximately 98 days during the portions of the year
with the greatest rainfall and lowest evaporation.
When field conditions permit, waste is irrigated onto a field within 1,000 feet of the waste
storage pond. This field contains 13.4 acres wettable acres. The operator of the dairy,
Tony Nesbitt has requested that more additional fields be added to the waste utilization
plan, so fields have been added that he leases. Waste will be hauled to these fields with a
tanker and spread.
Two of the fields have soil loss in excess of 5 tons/acre/year, so field borders will be
required on those fields. These fields are number "Haggard V and "Merrell 1a" on the
waste application tables and on the maps. The SWCD can provide technical assistance
with the installation of these measure. NO WASTE CAN BE APPLIED TO THESE
FIELDS UNTIL THE FIELD BORDERS ARE IN PLACE WITH A GOOD STAND OF
GRASS.
Mr. Nesbitt would like to apply animal waste to the Dotson leased field. His daughter
grows organic vegetables on this field. Due to the fact that waste must be applied no
more than 30s prior to planting, and the fact that waste cannot be applied within .60 days
of harvest on vegetables for direct human consumption, waste should only be applied
during the winter on a winter cover crop.

*Actual application times will depend on gallons/minute being pumped and travel speed of
the traveling gun. Application on 0.6 inches will require some adjustment on the part of
the applicator. Experience will enable the applicator to uniformly apply the waste to the
proper depth without runoff. The irrigation equipment must also be calibrated. Slurry
waste infiltration rate will differ from the infiltration rate of the liquid also.
THIS TABLE IS NOT NEEDED IF WASTE IS NOT BEING APPLIED BY IRRIGATION,
HOWEVER A SIMILAR TABLE WILL BE NEEDED FOR DRY LITTER OR SLURRY.

w WASTU UTILIZATTON PLAN
f Page 24 2/2/2007
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
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 which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal
discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties by the Division of Water
Quality for every day the discharge continues.
2. (The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either
owns or has a notarized long term 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 NRCS with a copy of a notarized agreement
(sample enclosed) with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing
him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the
production facility. 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
in 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, climate conditions,
and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of
application for other nutrients. Actual yields may be used in lieu of realistic yield tables
at the discretion of the planner.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year.
Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS)
or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If a RMS or ACS is used the soil loss
shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be
used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers"
required by DWQ. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 392 -
Riparian Forest Buffer.]
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when the wind is blowing or any other condition exists which
may cause a 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 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" in the Technical Reference - Environment file 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

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
s
Page 25 2/2/2007
cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control
conditions conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop
is not damaged by burning or smothering of the plant. This is an important
consideration where swine, poultry or other ammonia rich waste is being surface
applied. Surface broadcast solids or slurries may damage crops if leaf surfaces are
matted. Generally waste should be applied such that no more than 20 to 25 percent of
the leaf area is covered. This should not normally be a concern where diluted, low
nutrient waste is irrigated or surface broadcast from a liquids holding structure. Where
crops are severely damaged due to waste application, the plants cannot assimilate the
nutrients and discharge of pollutants to surface waters is likely to occur. The potential
for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered.
10. Waste nutrients 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. On soils with a high potential for leaching, multiple application at lower rates
should be used. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production & reduce the
potential for pollution, the waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to
planting of the crop on bare soil, or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients.
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 from any perennial stream or river (other than an
irrigation ditch or 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 surface water.
(See Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 392 - Riparian Forest Buffer)
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
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, drainageways or wetlands
by a discharge or by over-spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted
wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical
specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways which discharge

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Page 26 2/2/2007
directly into water courses. If animal waste is to be applied on other grassed
waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates and in a manner that causes no
runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown 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/holding pond embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special
vegetation shall be provided for these areas and 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/holding pond areas
should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon/holding pond 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 an "approved 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.
20. 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 preplant with no further applications of
animal waste during the crop season.
21 . Highly visible permanent 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 element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and
alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. Soil
pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste
analysis records shall be kept for five (5) years. Poultry dry waste application records
shall be maintained for three (3) 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 NC regulations. North
Carolina General Statute 106-403 requires that dead animals be disposed of within 24
hours in a manner approved by the state veterinarian.

This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking,
overflowing, or running off site. You should not wait until wastes reach surface waters or
leave your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to
ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be posted in an accessible location
for all employees at the facility. The following are some action items you should take.
1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation,this may or may not be
possible. Suggested responses to some possible problems are listed below.
A. Lagoon overflow-possible solutions are:
a. Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam.
b. Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate.
c. Stop all flows to the lagoon immediately.
d. Call a pumping contractor.
e. Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon.
B: Runoff from waste application field-actions include:
a. Immediately stop waste application.
b. Create a temporary diversion to contain waste.
c. Incorporate waste to reduce runoff.
d. Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s)that caused the runoff.
e. Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred.

C: Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinklers-action include:
a. Stop recycle pump.
b. Stop irrigation pump.
c. Close valves to eliminate further discharge.
d. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
D: Leakage from flush systems, houses, solid separators-action include:
a. Stop recycle pump.
b. Stop irrigation pump.
c. Make sure no siphon occurs.
d. Stop all flows in the house, flush systems, or solid separators.
e. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
E: Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed to
flowing leaks. Possible action:
a. Dig a small sump or ditch away from the embankment to catch all seepage, put in a
submersible pump, and pump back to lagoon.
b. If holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill holes and
compact with a clay type soil.
c. Have a professional evaluate the condition of the side walls and lagoon bottom as soon
as possible.
2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages.
a. Did the waste reach any surface waters?
b. Approximately how much was released and for what duration?
c. Any damage noted, such as employee injury, fish kills, or property damage?
d. Did the spill leave the property?
e. Does the spill have the potential to reach surface waters?
f. Could a future rain event cause the spill to reach surface waters?
g. Are potable water wells in danger(either on or off of the property)?
h. How much reached surface waters?
3: Contact appropriate agencies.
a. During normal business hours, call your DEQ (Division of Water Quality)regional
office; Phone [phone]. After hours, emergency number: 800-858-0368. Your
phone call should include: your name, facility, telephone number,the details of the

Mortality Management Methods
Indicate which method(s) will be implemented.
When selecting multiple methods indicate a primary versus secondary option.
Methods other than those listed must be approved by the state Veterinarian.
Primary Secondary Routine Mortality
Burial three feet beneath the surface of the ground within 24 hours of knowledge of animal
death. The burial must be at least 300 feet from any flowing stream or public body of water
(G.S.106-403). The bottom of the burial pit should beat least one foot above the seasonal
high water table.Attach burial location map and plan.
Landfill at municipal solid waste facility permitted by NC DEQ under GS 15A NCAC
13B .0200.
Rendering at a rendering plant licensed under G.S. 106-168.7.
©� Complete incineration according to 02 NCAC 52C .0102.
A composting system approved and permitted bythe NC Department of Agriculture&Con-
sumer Services Veterinary Division(attach copy of.permit). If compost is distributed off-farm,
additional requirements must be met and a permit is required from NC DEQ.
QIn the case of dead poultry only, placing in a disposal pit of a size and design approved by the
NC Department of Agriculture&Consumer Services (G.S. 106-549.70).
aAny method which, in the professional opinioniof the State Veterinarian, would.make possible
the salvage of part of a dead animal's value without endangering human or animal health.
(Written approval by the State Veterinarian must be attached).
aMass Mortality Plan
Mass mortality plans are required for farms covered by an NPDES permit. These plans are
also recommended for all animal operations. This plan outlines farm-specific mortality man-
agement methods to be used for mass mortality. The NCDA&CS Veterinary Division sup-
ports a variety of emergency mortality disposal options;contact the Division for guidance.
• A catastrophic mortality disposal plan is part of the facility's CAWMP and is activated
when numbers of dead animals exceed normal mortality rates as specified by the State
Veterinarian.
• Burial must be�done in accordance with NC General Statutes and NCDA&CS Veterinary
Division regulations and guidance.
• Mass burial sites are subject to additional permit conditions(refer to facility's animal
waste management system permit). .
• In the event of imminent threat of a disease emergency,the State Veterinarian may enact
additional temporary procedures or measures for disposal according to G.S. 106-399.4.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
This Animal Waste Management System consists of the following major components:
1. SLURRY WASTE STORAGE POND
2. CONTAMINATED LIQUID COLLECTION AND PIPING SYSTEM
3. LAND APPLICATION SYSTEM
And the following components:
4. VEGETATED DIVERSION
5. ROOF GUTTERING
6. LIVESTOCK EXCLUSION
7. CRITICAL AREA PLANTING
All solid waste will be scraped from the lots and stored in the SLURRY WASTE STORAGE POND.
Solid waste will be pumped from the SLURRY WASTE STORAGE POND and irrigated at
agronomic rates. The SLURRY WASTE STORAGE POND is designed to provide 98 days storage of
slurry wastes from 300 head of Holstein milking cows, and the liquids from the milking parlor,
milk room, and some lot runoff.
All contaminated runoff will flow into the SLURRY WASTE STORAGE POND. This structure is
designed to provide storage for normal rainfall runoff from the feedlot and waste water from
the milk bard for a 98-day period, and provide storage space for the twenty-five (25) year,
twenty four (24) hour storm runoff from the feedlot and watershed draining to the storage
pond.
This Animal Waste Management System is designed to prevent discharge of Animal Waste
Contaminates to surface waters from the twenty-five (25) year, twenty four (24) hour storm as
required under the Non-discharge regulations.
All maintenance and operation costs are the responsibility of the landowner and cannot be
cost-shared.
3

1. CONTAMINATED LIQUID COLLECTION AND PIPING SYSTEM
OVERVIEW
The CONTAMINATED LIQUID COLLECTION AND PIPING SYSTEM consists of a 4-inch schedule 40
PVC pipe from a collection basin in the milking parlor. Wastewater from the milk room is also
connected to this pipe. Runoff from the lots flows directly from the lot into the SLURRY WASTE
STORAGE POND.
MAINTENANCE
Inspect the inlet of the 4-inch pipe daily to insure that nothing is washed into the pipe that may
cause a clog in the pipe. Avoid operation of heavy equipment or other activity that may crush
the pipe where it is above ground (this is only about a 6 foot section near the push off ramp).
Repair any breaks or clogs in the pipe immediately to prevent discharge.
2. SLURRY WASTE STORAGE POND
OVERVIEW
The SLURRY WASTE STORAGE POND consists of an earthen dam on three sides. The fourth side
consists of a cut slope below the lower free stall barn. The SLURRY WASTE STORAGE POND is
designed to store the average feedlot runoff and wastewater from the milk barn for a 98-day
period. Additional storage space is included to contain the twenty-five (25) year, twenty-four
(24) hour storm runoff from the feedlot. A pressure treated 4 inch by 4-inch post will be set in
one slope of the dam. The top of the post will be the maximum fill level for normal rainfall and
waste. The twenty-five (25) year, twenty-four (24) hour storm will be stored above this marker
and below the 1 foot allowed for freeboard. The elevation of the top of the post will be set at
elevation 95.0. The top of the dam elevation is 96.9 (lowest point along the top of the dam).
OPERATION
The SLURRY WASTE STORAGE POND must be operated in such a manner to insure that waste
never accumulates above the maximum fill level. This will require careful planning and timely
application of slurry waste by irrigation and hauling. Should waste levels reach the maximum
fill level and irrigation on adjacent fields is not possible, waste should be pumped into a suitable
transport vehicle and land applied to fields in such a manner that no runoff to surface waters
occurs.
4

SLURRY WASTE STORAGE POND (continued)
MAINTENANCE
The dam of the SLURRY WASTE STORAGE POND should be inspected periodically for cracks,
sloughs, or excess seepage. Vegetation on the dam should be inspected periodically and
reseeded as needed to maintain a vigorous stand. The dam should be mowed at least annually
to prevent woody growth. Mowing operations must take place only when the soil of the dam is
dry, and vegetation should not be mowed to a height of less than four (4) inches at any time.
See CRITICAL AREA PLANTING for further maintenance requirement. Any evidence of sloughing
or seepage should be reported to the Buncombe County Soil and Water Conservation District.
3. LAND APPLICATION SYSTEM
OVERVIEW
The IRRIGATION AND AGITATION SYSTEM consists of a PTO Powered Pump, requiring a
minimum of 65 H.P., with a four (4) inch suction and four (4) inch discharge, above ground pipe
to irrigation fields, a transportable reel, and a traveling irrigation gun with a two-inch nozzle.
Slurry animal waste is transported to remote fields by the use of a PULL BEHIND TANKER where
it is sprayed on various crops. Follow manufacturer's recommendations for maintenance and
repairs on the tanker to reduce the risk of accidental spillage of waste.
OPERATION
Irrigation and haul operations should be initiated prior to the liquid level reaching the full
storage level marker in the structure. When the liquids level in the SLURRY WASTE STORAGE
POND reaches the maximum fill level marker, liquids must be removed by pumping from the
structure, either into the irrigation system or into a spreader tank for land application. Do not
irrigate in such a manner as to cause runoff or erosion. Do not irrigate on frozen or saturated
soils. Irrigate only until soil is near the saturation point.
MAINTENANCE
Soil test the land application fields every three years. Vegetation in the irrigation fields should
be inspected periodically and reseeded as needed to insure a vigorous stand. Fields may also
need to be limed. Fields may also need to be limed and fertilized annually. It is essential that
neither vehicles nor livestock be allowed to create travel lanes within the irrigation fields. Grass
and legume irrigation fields should be mowed at least annually to prevent woody growth and
may be control grazed or mowed for hay. Grazing and mowing operations must take place only
when the soils are dry, and vegetation should not be grazed or mowed to a height of less than
four (4) inches. See CRITICAL AREA PLANTING for further maintenance requirements.
5

4. CONCRETE CURBING
OVERVIEW
The CONCRETE CURBING constructed on the lot will prevent contaminated liquids from
entering the stream in any storm less severe than the twenty-five (25) year,twenty-four (24)
hour storm. The opening in the concrete curbing adjacent to the upperpush-off ramp must
be permanently plugged using concrete and remain plugged completely.
MAINTENANCE
The concrete should be inspected periodically for major cracks.
S. VEGETATED DIVERSION
OVERVIEW
The existing VEGETATED DIVERSION is located above the free stall barns and lots and will
convey waste-free runoff around the operation to the drainage ditch on the South end of the
site.
MAINTENANCE
The vegetation in the diversion should be inspected periodically and reseeded as needed to
insure a vigorous stand. It is essential that neither vehicles nor livestock be allowed to create
travel lanes within the diversion. The diversion should be mowed at least annually to prevent
woody growth, and may be control grazed or mowed for hay. Grazing and mowing operations
must take place only when the soil is dry, and vegetation should not be grazed or mowed to a
height of less than four (4) inches. If sedimentation has reduced the capacity of the channel,
contact the Buncombe Soil and Water Conservation District for technical assistance in
correcting this problem. See CRITICAL AREA PLANTING for further maintenance requirements.
6. ROOF GUTTERING
OVERVIEW
The free stall barns and other roofed structures have existing guttering systems. No roof runoff
now enters the SLURRY WASTE STORAGE POND.
6

MAINTENANCE
Gutters shall be inspected each fall or early winter for debris accumulation. Clean out all
accumulated debris. Inspect gutters and downspouts periodically for damage. Repair or
replace damaged components immediately. Inspect downspout outlets to insure free flow of
water to the correct location.
7. CRITICAL AREA PLANTING
OVERVIEW
Any areas of exposed soil not be covered by a structure shall be seeded to permanent
vegetation. CRITICAL ARE PLANTING applies to the VEGETATED DIVERSION and dam on the
SLURRY WSTE STORAGE POND.
MAINTENANCE
Soil samples should be taken prior to applying lime and fertilizer and test results should be used
to determine the proper application rates. Fertilizer and lime should be applied either during
September-October or February-March. Vegetation should be inspected periodically and
reseeded as needed to insure a vigorous stand. It is essential that neither vehicles nor livestock
be allowed to use any area that has been treated with CRITICAL AREA PLANTING as a travel
lane. All CRITICAL AREA PLANTING should be mowed at least annually to prevent woody
growth. Mowing operations must take place only when the soil is dry and vegetation should
not be mowed to a height of less than four (4) inches at any time. Do not mow cool season
grasses during periods when plants re showing signs of drought stress.
GENERAL COMMENTS
Extreme care should be exercised with the use of all herbicides so that desirable vegetation,
especially in the VEGETATION DIVERSION and on the dam is not adversely affected. It is a
violation of law to use any pesticide in a manner not permitted by its labeling. To protect
yourself, never apply any pesticide in a manner or for a purpose other than as instructed on the
label or in labeling accompanying the pesticide product that your purchase. Do not ignore the
instructions for use of protective clothing and devices and for storage and disposal of pesticide
wastes, including containers.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
System Components :
1. Slurry collection pond (existing) (app. 98 days storage)
2 . Irrigation system (traveling gun)
3 . Slurry spreader unit
The dairy has an existing slurry storage pond that was built in the
late 1980' s . The pond stores waste from the milkroom and milking
parlor; all the scraped manure; the runoff from the lots, grassed
areas, and the stock trail. With 300 confined cows, the pond will
store approximately 98 days in the winter months and more other times
of the year.
Below is a sketch of the existing system:
1

I .VOLUMES - SLURRY COLLECTION POND
These calculations have been done to estimate the amount of storage
(in terms of days) of the existing earthen pond below the facility.
I . SOLID WASTE TO BE COLLECTED
a. Scraped manure from lots and freestalls
b. Waste feed
C. Waste bedding
A. Manure
Average herd size = 300 cows
Average cow weight = 1, 400 lbs .
.From table 4-5, Agricultural Waste Management Field Handbook, the
daily waste production of a lactating cow is 80 lbs . 11, 000 lbs.
of animal weight . For a manure weight of 60 lbs. /cu. ft . this
would be 1 . 33 cu. ft . /cow/day for a 1, 000 lb. cow. At 1,400
lbs . /cow this would be 1 . 86 cu. ft ./day.
1 . 86 cu. ft . /cow/day x 300 cows = 528 cu. ft . /day
The cows are milked 3 times per day and spend the remainder of
the time on pastures adjacent to the facility. They are on the
lot approximately 3 hours at each milking. Therefore, it would
probably be safe to assume that 70% of the daily manure output is
.actually deposited on the lot . Therefore:
528 cu. ft. /day x . 70 = 370 cu. ft . /day
B. Waste bedding
The rzewellrs are currently bedding with sawdust. From Table 4 .4
(AWMFH) , the daily bedding requirement for dairy cattle in freestall
housing using shavings or sawdust is 3 . 1 lbs . /1, 000 lbs. of animal
weight per day. Therefore, it would' be 4 . 03 lbs . /cow/day for 1, 400
lb. animals .
4 . 03 lbs. /cow/day x 300 cows = 1, 209 lbs .
Sawdust averages 12 lbs . /cu. ft . , therefore :
1, 209 lbs. da
12 lbs. /cu. /ft . = I101 cu. ft . of waste bedding/da
y]

• 4
C. Waste feed:
Assume that the amount of waste feed is 0 . 5 lbs . /cow/day:
300 cows x 0 . 5 lbs . /cow/day = 150 lbs . /day
Assuming that silage weighs about the same as sawdust (12 lbs. cu.
ft . ) , therefore :
_ 150 lbs . = 15 .5 tuft . of waste feed/day
12 lbs . /cu. ft .

CAPACITY OF EXISTING WASTE HOLDING POND:
The top dimensions of the pond are 105 ft . x 107 ft . and the depth is
14 feet, with 2 : 1 side slopes on the inside of the pond. Allowing 1
foot of freeboard, the storage dimensions would be 101 ft . x 103 ft . x
13 . 0 feet deep. The capacity was calculated as follows :
Volume = De;-th ( (area of top) + (area of bottom) + (4 * area of
6 midsection) } = _ _ft .3
V = 13 . 0 x ( (10, 403) + (2, 499) + (4 x 5, 775) 1

V = 2 . 17 x (12, 902 + 23 , 100)
V = 2 . 17 x 36, 002
