Please review the attached plan and specifications carefully. Retain
this plan for your use and records. It is strongly recommended that you,
your contractor, and Soil Conservation Service personnel are in agreement
as to how the waste lagoon is to be constructed. The Soi I Conservation
Service personnel wi I I meet with al I concerned parties and walk over the
site to explain all flags and markings. It is important that everyone
understand what is expected so that final construction meets plans and
specification and the job can be certified for payment (if cost-sharing
is involved).
The pad dimensions and grades are the best estimate. The BUILDER or
CONTRACTOR is RESPONSIBLE for final layout and design of the pads. The
. Soil Conservation Service personnel wi I I assist in a I imi ted capacity,
as its major concern is the proper design and construction of the waste
treatment lagoon.
•
The actual amount of material req uired for pads and ' dam may vary from the
estimates. The design wi I I attempt to balance cuts and fi I Is as close as
possible. If additional material is required after construction is co~plete
on the lagoon, the contractor and owner wil I negotiate on the price and
location of borrow area.
NOTE: Design Requirement: 574194 cu.ft. = 22031 cu.yds.

• When tile drains are encountered, the tile will be removed to a minimum
of 10 feet beyond the outside toe of slope of the dike. The tile
trench shall be backfilled and compacted with good material such as
SC, CL, or CH.
•
•
SHEET 2 OF 2
Soil liner material shall come from an approved borrow area. The
minimum water content of the liner material shall be optimum moisture
content which relates to that moisture content when the soil is kneaded
in the hand it will form a ball which does not readily separate. Water
shall be added to borrow as necessary to insure proper moisture content
during placement of the liner. The moisture content of the liner
material shall not be less than optimum water content during placement.
The maximum water content relates to the soil material being too wet
for efficient use of hauling equipment and proper compaction. Proper
compaction of the liner includes placement in 9 inch lifts and
compacted to at least 90 percent of the maximum ASTM D698 Dry unit
Weight of the liner material. When smooth or hard, the previous lift
shall be scarified and moistened as needed before placement of the next
lift.
•

The single most important factor affecting the overall compacted perme­

ability of a clay liner, other than the type of clay used for the

liner, is the efficient construction processing of the compacted liner.

The sequence of equipment use and the routing of equipment in an estab­

lished pattern helps assure uniformity in the whole placement and

compaction process. For most clay soils, a tamping or sheepsfoot

roller is the preferable type of compaction equipment.

The soil liner shall be protected from the discharge of waste outlet
pipes. This can be done by using some type of energy dissipator(rocks)
or using flexible outlets on waste pipes.
Alternatives to soil liners are synthetic liners and bentonite sealant.
When these are specified, additional construction specifications are
included with this Construction Specification.
CUTOFF TRENCH:
A cutoff trench shall be constructed under the embankment area when
shown on a typical cross section in the plans. The final depth of the
cutoff trench shall be determined by observation of the foundation
materials.
VEGETATION:
All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded
to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construc­
tion according to the seeding specifications. Topsoil should be placed
on areas of the dike and pad to be seeded. Temporary seeding or mulch
shall be used if the recommended permanent vegetation is out of season
dates for seeding. Permanent vegetation should be established as soon
as possible during the next period of approved seeding dates.
REMOVAL OF EXISTING TILE DRAINS
----------------------------------------------------------
SHEET 1 OF 2

• SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS
FOUNDATION PREPARATION:
The foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be
cleared of trees, logs, stumps, roots, brush, boulders,sod and ~ubbish.
Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The topsoll from
the lagoon and pad area should be stripped and stockpiled for use on
the dike and pad areas. After stripping, the foundation area of the
lagoon embankment and building pad shall be thoroughly loosened prior
to placing the first lift of fill material to get a good bond.
EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT:
The completed excavation and earthfill shall conform to the lines,
grades, and elevations shown on the plans. Earthfill material shall
be free of material such as sod, roots, frozen soil, stones over
6 inches in diameter, and other objectionable material. To the extent
they are suitable, excavated materials can be used as fill. The fill
shall be brought up in approximately horizontal layers not to exceed 9
inches in thickness when loose and prior to compaction. Each layer
will be compacted by complete coverage with the hauling and spreading
equipment or standard tamping roller or other equivalent method.
compaction will be considered adequate when fill material is observed
to consolidate to the point that settlement is not readily detectible.
NOTE THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PLACEMENT OF LINERS IN THE LINER
SECTION OF THIS SPECIFICATION. The embankment of the lagoon shall be
installed using the more impervious materials from the required
excavations. Construction of fill heights shall include 5 percent for
settlement. Dikes over 15 feet in height and with an impoundment
capacity of 10 acre-feet or more fall under the jurisdiction of the NC
Dam Safety Law. The height is defined as the difference in elevation
from the constructed height to the downstream toe of the dike.
Precautions shall be taken during construction to prevent excessive
erosion and sedimentation.
LINER: THE MINIMUM REQUIRED THICKNESS SHALL BE 1.5 ft.
NOTE: LINERS (PARTIAL OR FULL) ARE REQUIRED WHEN THE ATTACHED SOILS
INVESTIGATION REPORT SO INDICATES OR WHEN UNSUITABLE MATERIAL IS
ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRUCTION. A TYPICAL CROSS SECTION OF THE LINER
IS INCLUDED IN THE DESIGN WHEN LINERS ARE REQUIRED BY THE SOILS REPORT.
When areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will be over­
excavated below finish grade to the specified depth as measured
perpendicular to the finish grade. The foundation shall be backfilled
as specified to grade with a SCS approved material (ie -CL,SC,CH).
REFER TO THE SOILS INVESTIGATION INFORMATION IN THE PLANS FOR SPECIAL
CONSIDERATIONS.

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
DD 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 be at least one foot above the seasonal
high water table. Attach burial location map and plan.

A composting system approved and permitted by the NC Department of Agriculture & Con­000 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 .
DD In 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).
DD Any method which, in the professional opinion of 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).
D Mass 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.

Operation and Maintenance of CAFO
Production Facilities

Presented by
Water Resources Engineers of the
DNR Agricultural Runoff Program

CAFO Workshops
February 2015
1
Introduction
•CAFO operators are required by NR 243.17to operate
and maintain facilities according to their operation and
maintenance plan.
•Operation and Maintenance plan requirements are
described in the appropriate NRCS Standard.
•Facilities and systems are to be operated and
maintained so as to not create a surface water discharge
or exceed groundwater quality standards.
•Inadequate maintenance could lead to an evaluation
being required and possible subsequent reconstruction.

Types of Facilities Covered
•Waste Storage
•Feed Storage and Runoff Collection
•Vegetated Treatment Areas
•Waste Conveyance
Concrete Liners
•May exist for a lagoon, tank, manure stacking pad,
processing building, feed storage or animal lot.
–Cracks? Repair with caulking or sawcutting and grouting
depending on severity.
–Slabs out of alignment? May need removal and
replacement.
–Surface spalled (deteriorated)? May need repair or
replacement.

2
Concrete Liner Crack
Core through a concrete crack
Clay/In-Place Earth Liners
•Scour protection?
–Embankments may be scoured out at pipe outfalls.
Replenish liner material and place concrete splash pad.
–If sand bedding is used, scraping or scooping equipment
may have removed liner material. May need to line with
concrete and/or replenish liner material.
–Clay/earth may be lost due to agitation. May need
concrete liner or replace liner material.
–Steep inside embankment walls are a common sign that
liner material has been lost from the lower portion.
–On the inside of the embankment, above the manure
level, can you see clay? If not, that’s a problem.

2
No Scour Protection
In place earth liner with not enough fines.
Feed Storage and Runoff Collection
•Cracks in bunker walls and floor slabs allowing
uncollected leakage.
•Non-functioning conveyance to collection (poorly
sloped concrete gutters/curbs, blocked
perimeter tile, etc.)
•Piled feed or snowbanks blocking flow to
collection system.
•Malfunctioning pump systems (freezing, thawing,
programmable timers, manual switches, etc.).
•Clogged collection tank grates.

Feed Bunker Leakage
Vegetated Treatment Areas (VTA)
•Spreader bar malfunctioning (settling, clogging,
pros and cons of gravel spreaders vs. concrete
curb w/slots).
•VTA problems – Gullying, poorly vegetated,
burned out vegetation.
•Gravel spreaders – need for regrading and
cleaning.
VTA Concentrated Flow
Waste Conveyance
•Clogging of pipelines – cleaning out with pigs,
flushing etc. Do not exceed rated capacity of
pipe. Need for cleanouts.
•Monitor pressure while operating pressurized
pipelines. Do not exceed working pressure –
72% of pipeline rated capacity. Also monitor for
pressure drops – sign of leakage.
•Visually inspect visible joints for loosening/leaks.
•Severe service pipelines, recommend regular
pressure testing per NRCS Spec. 634.

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 .
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 be at 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.~1 06-168 .7.
Complete incineration according to 02 NCAC 52C .0102 .
A composting system approved and permitted by the NC Department of Agriculture & Con­

sumer Services Veterinary Division (attach copy of permit). If compost is distributed off-farm,

additional requirements must be met a.nd a permit is required from NC DEQ.

In 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).

Any method which, in the professional opinion'tOf 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).

Mass 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).

---\n 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.

EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN

PHONE NUMBERS
DWQ
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
SWCD
NRCS
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 mayor 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.
December 18, 1996
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. Ifholes 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.

Insect Control Checklist for Animal Operations
Source Cause BMPs to Control Insects Site Specific Practices
Liquid Systems
Flush gutters · Accumulation of solids r Flush system is designed and operated sufficiently
to remove accumulated solids from gutters as
designed
r Remove bridging of accumulated solids at
discharge
Lagoons and pits · Crusted solids r Maintain lagoons, settling basins and pits where
pest breeding is apparent to minimize the crusting
of solids to a depth of no more than 6 to 8 inches
over more than 30 percent of surface
Excessive vegetative
growth
· Decaying vegetation r Maintain vegetative control along banks of
lagoons and other impoundments to prevent
accumulation of decaying vegetative matter along
water’s edge on impoundment’s perimeter.
Dry Systems
Feeders · Feed spillage r Design, operate, and maintain feed systems
(e.g., bunkers and troughs) to minimize the
accumulation of decaying wastage
r Clean up spillage on a routine basis (e.g., 7- to 10-
day interval during summer; 15- to 30-day interval
during winter)

Insect Control Checklist for Animal Operations
Source Cause BMPs to Control Insects Site Specific Practices
Feed storage · Accumulations of feed
residues
r Reduce moisture accumulation within and around
immediate perimeter of feed storage areas by
ensuring drainage is away from site and/or providing
adequate containment (e.g., covered bin for
brewer’s grain and similar high moisture grain
products)
r Inspect for and remove or break up accumulated
solids in filter strips around feed storage as needed
Animal holding areas · Accumulations of animal
wastes and feed wastage
r Eliminate low areas that trap moisture along fences
and other locations where waste accumulates and
disturbance by animals is minimal
r Maintain fence rows and filter strips around animal
holding areas to minimize accumulations of wastes
(i.e., inspect for and remove or break up
accumulated solids as needed)
Dry manure handling
systems
· Accumulations of animal
wastes
r Remove spillage on a routine basis (e.g.,
7- to 10-day interval during summer; 15- to 30-day
interval during winter) where manure is loaded for
land application or disposal
r Provide for adequate drainage around manure
stockpiles
r Inspect for and remove or break up accumulated
wastes in filter strips around stockpiles and manure
handling areas as needed
