Irrigation
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. 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 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.
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 be applied to land eroding at Tess than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but
less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established.
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 not allowed
under DWR regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor
problems,
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential
for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than
30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems,
1 of 11

This plan based waste application method above. you choose to change
methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application
methods are not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content
for this type of facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could
allow addiVonal waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to
be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must
be applied to maintain pi-; in the optimum range for specific crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

In interpiantod fields ; Le. small grain, etc. interseeded in bermuda), forage must be removed
through grazing, hay, and/or silage. Where grazing. plants should be grazed when they
reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a
height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care
should be exercised not to let srnal grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May), Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definitely interfere
with stand cf bermudagrass. This loss of stand v,•ill result in reduced yields and less nitrogen
being utilized. Rather than cutting spiel grain for hay or silage just before heading as Is
the normal situation, you are encouraged tc cut the small grain earlier, You may want to
consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the
•
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is
recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of
about two inches before drilling for -esults.

Your facility is designed for >180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the everege of once every 6 months. In no instanos should the volume of the
waste stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of

This plan will implemented in event that wastes from your operation are leaking,
overflowing or running off site. not wait until wastes reach surface waters or
leave your property to consider that you nave a problem. You should make every effort
to ensure that this does not nappen. 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. this may or may not be possible. Suggested
responses to some possible
A. Lagoon overflow - possible solutions are:
Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam.
Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate.
Stop all flow to the lagoon immediately.
;all a pumping contractor.
Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon.
B. Runoff from waste application field -actions include:
Immediately stop waste application.
Create a temporary diversion to contain waste.
Incorporate waste to reduce runoff.
Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s) that cause the runoff.
Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred.
C. Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinklers - action include:
Stop recycle pump.
Stop irrigation pump.
Close valves to eliminate further discharge.
Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
D. Leakage from flush systems, houses, solid separators - action include:
Stop recycle pump.
Stop irrigation pump.
Make sure siphon occurs.
Stop all flow in the house, flush systems, or solid separators.
E. Leakage from base or sidewaII of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed to flowing leaks -
possible action:
a) Dig a small sump or ditch 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 the lagoon bottom as
soon as possible.

Mortality Management Methods 3 1 -- /93
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.S. 106-168.7.
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 and 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 opinionof the State Veterinarian, wouldmake 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).
• 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
'.U,00~ :. management should be a year-round priority. It is especially
.b ereort nt ec eeFlizee levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and
wet ' eeiods.
M ximur sto age p,,apacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the
reCiving crop i dormant (such as wintertime for bermudagrass) or when there are
eeronded rainy e: :iis such as the thunderstorm season in the summertime, This means
epee at the o:;g[es of plant growth in the later winter/early spring, irrigation according to
a f .rn waste ;management plan should be done whenever the land is dry enough to
receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet
peelede. In the at , summer/early fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the low
meter (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage, Every effort should be made to
maintain the la.Feon close to the minimum liquid level as long as the weather and waste
utilization plan will allow it.
Waiting until t y lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before starting to
irrigate does nc, ; ve room for storing excess water during extended wet periods.
Overflow from °`r,e lagoon for any reason except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of
state law ands ,I jet to penalty action,
The routine ma:l x:lance of a lagoon involves the following:
',..Viaintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam,
:escue 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
e soils test each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas
should be fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or
trivalent.
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
.eossibly twice in years that weather conditions are favorable for
Leavy vegetative growth,
NOTE: If vegc::ation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to enter
me 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

•ssssocn surface ---look for:

.=.�:.;.bank.ment---look for:

1 Esystems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that you
a e xnc completely "surprised" by equipment failure, You should perform your pumping
system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This will allow some
safety time sho-nd major repairs be required. Having a nearly full lagoon is not the time
to think about switching, repairing , or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is full,
your neighbor's lagoon is full also, You should consider maintaining an inventory of spare
parts or pumps.
Sudface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface
s.rainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets,
a}d parking lot runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste
treatment or storage structures. The only water that should be
corning 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:
l , adequate vegetation
2, diversion capacity
3, ridge berm height

should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system
following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to
