(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 amounx 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 util»ation 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 acre 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 ra mize 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.

1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by ruriofly 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 of $10,000 per day by the
Diarision of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues.
2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either
owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste.
If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall
provide NRCS with a copy of a written 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. Annul 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.
4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management Syste•m (RMS)
or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS).. If an 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 runoffleaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to 'Buffers"
required by DEM. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390
(Interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers.]
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when the wind is blowing.
6. Whe animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil
into orated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled
crop 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 Gha11 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 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 no
more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered.
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. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop
on bare soil.
11 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance
maybe reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter
strips are present. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips)
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Aniival waste cha11 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. waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands by
a dis harge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted

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.

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.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN
Proper lagoon liquid management should be a year-round priority. It is especially
important to manage levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy
wet periods, alny and
Maximum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for
receiving crop is dormant (such as wintertime for bermudagrass) periods there are
extended rainy sells such as the thunderstorm season in
that at the first signs of plant growth in the later winter/early spring, �irrigationl according s
a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the land is dry enough to to
receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the Iagoon for future we
periods. In the late summer/early fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the low t
marker (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage, Every effort should be made to
maintain the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as long as the weather and waste
utilization plan will allow it.
Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before startin
irrigate does not leave room for storing excess water during extended wet periodg to
ps.
Overflow from the lagoon for any reason except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a�violation of
state law and subject to penalty action.
The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following:
• Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam.
Fescue or common bermudagrass are the most common vegetative
covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year, if needed, to
maintain a vigorous stand, The amount of fertilizer applied should be
based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not practical to obtain
a soils test each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas
should be fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or
equivalent.
Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled, This may be
done by mowing, spraying, grazing, chopping, or a combination of
these practices, This should be done at least once a year and
possibly twice in years that weather conditions are favorable for
heavy vegetative growth,
NOTE: If vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to enter
the lagoon water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating
the waste.
Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of
the lagoon and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. Items to be
checked should include, as a minimum, the following;
Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow pipes ---look for:
1. separation of joints
2. cracks or breaks
3, accumulation of salts or minerals
4, overall condition of pipes

• Lagoon surface ---look for:
1. undesirable vegetative growth
2. floating or lodged debns
Embankment —look for:
1. settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes
2. side slope stability ---slumps or bulges
3. wet or damp areas on the back slope
4. erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result of wave action
5. rodent damage
Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong
winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon darn.
A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action. If
wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffles in the lagoon may be
used to reduce the wave impacts. y
Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam. If your lagoon has
any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with design and
construction of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary
of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed bthere is a threat
technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon darn with heavy
ment is a
undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should notlbe conducted unls
recommended by an appropriate technical expert, ess
Transfer Pumps ---check for proper operation of:
1. recycling pumps
2. irrigation pumps
Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or grinding
noise, or a large amount of vibration, may indicate that the pump is in need or repair or
replacement. p
NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that,you
are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure, You should
perfrmsystem maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level, This willoallow spme
safety time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly full lagoon is not the time
to think about switching, repairing , or borrowing
your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should onsider maintaining anif y inventory of spare
parts or pumps,
Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface
drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets,
and parking lot runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste
treatment or storage structures, The only water that should be
coming from your lagoon is that which comes from your flushing
(washing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon directly,
You should inspect your diversion system for the following:
1, adequate vegetation
2, diversion capacity
3. ridge berm height

Identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system
during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to
determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts.
You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then
record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping), This will
give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount
(you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in
planning irrigation applications and storage, If your lagoon rises excessive)
y, you may
have an inflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be see a e into t
lagoon from the surrounding land. P 8 the
Lagoon Operation
Startup:
1. Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil
surfaces to avoid erosion.
2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before
waste loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes.
3, Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender on the
end of the pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial
filling or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of
the lining.
4. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize
bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather),
5. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy
working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full lagoon
Liquid volume. This seeding should occour at least two weeks prior to the
addition of wastewater.
6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below
7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of 1 pound per 1000 cubic feet of
lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon Liquid
pH is between 7.5 and 8,0,
7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate
biological activity, Consultation with a technical specialist
if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especialduring the warm
season.
Loading:
The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the better the
lagoon will function, Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily are
optimum for treatment, Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained
and recharged each day, also work well,

Management:
•
Practice water conservation ---minimize building water usage and
spillage from leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through
proper maintenance and water conservation,
Minimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted, This
will reduce the amount of solids entering the lagoon
Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage IeveI and
the full temporary storage level.
Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the
minimum liquid Ievel and the maximum liquid lever (Figure 2-1).
Start irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring based on
nutrient requirements and soil moisture so that temporary
will be maximized for the summer thunderstorm seso. Similarly,
irrigate in the late summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon
storage for the winter.
• The lagoon liquid level should never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest
point of the darn or embankment,
Do not pump the lagoon liquid level lower that the permanent storage
level unless you are removing sludge,
.Locate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the Iiquid
surface and as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible.
Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-stemmed forage or vegetation,
molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon,
• Frequently remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or
wherever they are installed,
Maintain strict vegetation, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges.
Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon darn or embankment,
▪ Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is
full or before it fills 50 percent of the permanent storage volume.
If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for
obtaining and implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility of a
pollutant discharge.
Sludge Removal:
Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by:

▪ proper lagoon sizing,
• mechanical solids separation of flushed waste,
• gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or
• minimizing feed wastage and spillage.
Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will;
• have more nutrients,
• have more odor, and
• require more land to properly use the nutrients.
Removal techniques:
• Hire a custom applicator.
Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper -agitator impeller
pump through large -bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland;
and soil incorporate,
• Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; mix remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator; haul
and spread onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; dredge sludge from lagoon with dragline or sludge barge; berm
an area beside lagoon to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back
into lagoon; allow sludge to dewater; haul and spread with manure spreader
onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste
constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different
nutrient and metal values from the liquid, The application of the sludge to fields will be
limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field and crop
requirement, Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3,
When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage. Close
attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner remains
intact. If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed,
stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge you beould
removed without liner injury. If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as
possible.
Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and heavy metal content
than liquid. Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus
and metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of
erosion. Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil -test phosphores, it
should be applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other
wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value.
The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site.
Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which
could increase the concern of neighbors.

Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure
Lagoon failures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the
of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping,an d tructure. Types
dam, Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has te responsibilityd breach of the
ensuring structure safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures include: for
Modification of the lagoon structure ---an example is the placement of aipe
in the dam without proper design and construction. (Consult an expert in
lagoon design before placing any pipes in dams.) n
• Lagoon liquid levels ---high levels are a safety risk.
Failure to inspect and maintain the dam.
Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon.
Liner integrity —protect from inlet pipe scouring, damage u
removal, or rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level belowgrounldwa e
ter
table.
NOTE: If lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving water
gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly cause a will soon large discharge
cause
of wastewater and possible darn failure.
