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 less 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 DWQ regulations. Page: 1 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 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 . This plan is based on the waste application method shown above . If 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. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional 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 pH 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. AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, f t3, tons, etc. ) 3520 hogs x 1. 9 tons waste/hogs/year = 6688 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 3520 hogs x 2 .3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 8096 lbs. PAN/year Applying the .above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner. The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

In interplanted fields (i .e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermudagrass) , 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 small grain to 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 of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay.or silage just before heading as is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on time small grain is planted in the fall . The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting.

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. 2 . There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an 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 a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. 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 yield& based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients . 4 . Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strip) 5 . Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is 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" 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 cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies . r 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 covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. Page: 9 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 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 or forages breaking dormancy. 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 perennial waters . (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips) . 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 pp c 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 cropland provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist" . Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharges directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates 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 embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc. ) . Areas 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 areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. Page: 10 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 18 . If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "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 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 . pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five 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 North Carolina regulations.

The time? required for the planned fluid level to be reached (permanent + temporary storage) may vary due to flushing operations and the amour-it of fresh water to be added to t:he system. The designed 6 moriths temporary storage is an estimated volur(►E.� based on 1) waste from animals- ; 2) excess rainfall after- evaporation; and 3) the largest `lt hour~ (one day) rainfall t:h a' occurs on the average of once every '5 years. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year. Th i s estimate is based on 7 inches of excess rainfall which is equal to or exceeds the highest 6 months excess in a year. The average annual excess rainfall is approximately 8 inches. Therefore, an average of 8 inches of excess rainfall will need to be pumped each year. The 2.5 year rainfall will riot be a factor to consider in an anrri_tril pumping cycle, but this storage volume must always be available. A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin pumping and this is Usually the Outlet invert of pipe (s) from building (s) . If the Outlet pipe is not installed on the elevation to begin p�_�mping, a permanent marker must be installed on this elevation to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established to stop pumping to maintain minimum. treatment depth (h feet ) . Pumping can be started or stopped any time between these two elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit (weather, soils, crop, and equipment to apply waste without runoff or- leaching) . Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set, center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be taken when applying waste to prevent runoff from the field or damage to crops. The following items are to be carried out : 1. It is strongly recommended tha the treatment lagoon be pre- charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during start--up. pre--charging reduces the concentration of the initial waste entering the* lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be covered with effluent at all times. When pre-- charging is completed, fli_tsh buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not be used for flushing after �.An it ial filling. 2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see Attachment B) before land application. Bey ill p1_tmp--out of the lagoon wh7can fluid level re{Ar.Jles t ion 51. 40 as marked by permanent mar-kegs. Stop pump-out whien the fluid level reaches elevation 49. 10 or- before fluid depth is less than 6 feet deep (this prevents the loss of favor<:�?�lt= bacteria) . The design temporary storage, less ff ea`tr stor-m is 1733 22�: cLcbic feet or, 1296456 gallons. As stated before, this voluine will, vary considerably from year-% to year. 4. -rr-,E rEcommeride d maximum amour-t to apply per irrigEtt- ic�ii is one ( 1 ) inch and the recommended max i.mum application rate is 0. 4 inches per*, hour. 5. Keep vegetation on embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon snowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to mairitain a vigo.rous stand. . 6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and establish in vegetation. 7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable outlets. 3. Keep a minimUm of 100 feet cropland buffer or 25 feet of grass . vegetated buffer around waste utilization fields, particularly adjacent to ponds, lakes, streams, open ditches, etc. Do not pump within 300 feet of a residence or, within 100 feet of a well. 9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States. The Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resoltrces, Division of Environ- mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law.

Stumps will be removed within the area of the foundation of the embankment and fill areas and all excavated areas. All stumps and roots exceeding one (1) inch in diameter shall be removed to a minimum depth of one (1) foot. Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The foundation area shall be loosened thoroughly before placement of embankment material. Lagoon site (and pad site if needed) to be stripped of topsoil (311) and stockpiled for use on dike and pad slopes (2-311) . The topsoiling quantity is in excess of amounts specified on page one Cut-off Trench: --------------- A cut-off trench (when specified) `shall be installed as shown in the plans. Construction: ------------- Construction of excavated and earthfill areas shall be performed to the neat lines and grades as planned. Deviations from this will require prior approval of the SCS. Earthfill shall be placed in max. of 6" lifts and not placed in standing water. Compaction shall be performed by the construction equipment or sheeps-foot roller during placement. The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed using the more impervious materials. Construction of fill heights shall include ten (10) percent for settlement. To protect against seepage, when areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will need to be excavated a minimum of o1 of below grade and backfilled and compacted with SCS approved ma erial (ie-CL,SC,CH) . Refer to the soil in formation nformation in the lans for special considerations. Precautions should be taken durin construction to prevent excessive erosion and sedimentation. Vegetation: All exposed, embankment and .other bare constructed areas shall be seeded to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construction according to seeding specifications sheet. , y t -Ty � tctAt_ cross s -rlOt<f V1Eu1 D � COL Qo'tTDm O F 5uA irLt,'-u o b v r "To'TAL DSZ1 Q-1� c c,A r- m is vA ri T B Lb ig, AETYLt: TOP oP DIKE Fig►.5Iab FIDOk r--l9V, Top DR PAD E11�v, S�' 3�D ; I 53 � l3 •• INU�fZ'C 0 F DU'1�� (IS,S, ,3,0 '.

Since most of the soils in this county have inclusions of wetlands, it is necessary that a soil scientist visit the area you want to clear to determine the presence or absence of these wet inclusions. Generally, I can get a soil scientist within 2 weeks so depending on the number of requests ahead of yours, I will try to have a determination for you within 4 weeks and possibly sooner. In order to avoid delays, there are a few things that you need to do to prepare for the soil scientist's visit. 1. If the area is wooded or overgrown with weeds and brush, cut some trails throughout the area so that the soil scientist can walk through the area in several places and set flags of wetland area. If the trails are not cut the soil scientist may not be able to see the area completely thus either resulting in too much area being classified as wetlands or a delay in the determination until the trails are cut. Trails should not be pushed with tracked equipment since this may require a permit from the US Army Corp of Engineers. Manual labor or mowing is recommended. Trails should be 3 - 4 feet wide and spaced approximately every 100 - 150 feet apart throughout the area to be cleared. 2. Clearly mark the area where you want the determination. Corners should be easily identifiable on the ground,.` f,. ` 3. Contact this office when you have completed these prerequisites so that a field visit can be scheduled. Thank you for your cooperation in getting this determination completed. Your efforts will help to speed up the process for you and.others. Sincerely, Michael E. Sugg District Conservationist .Y f The Sod Consorvation Service is an agency of the Oepartmont of Agricutture soil P. O.

The area in question is approximately o acres. I have scheduled / -� 4 P-9 to visit this area and perform the evaluation. I will beat .5'=at approximately f v: �n�, The review should not take more than 30 minutes. You may be able to provide helpful information if it is possible for you to be there. Please be sure that the area is accessible. Trails should be cut every 150 feet throughout the area to be evaluated. These trails should be 2 to 3 feet wide and cut using either a mower or hand labor. It is.not recommended that heavy-equipment be used since operating heavy equipment in wetlands is a violation unless proper permits are acquir P vyqed. Even if the area is cutover woodland trails- re still needed if significant regrowth has m occured. Since I a making several appoint ents that day to look at different tracts for other people,:upon arrival, if the area is not . ccessible. I will have to re-schedule for a later time.

Box 277 Department of Conservation Kenansville, NC 28349 Agriculture Service Telephone 919-296-2121 Dear 1 ►, lt���la u. Enclosed is your copy of a wetland determination for tract A347 on which you indicated your intent to clear some land. The attached map has been delineated to show the area(s) in question. Each area to be cleared has been identified with a symbol to denote its classification. Below is an explanation of the various symbols that may pertain to your map. W - Wetland - Area is a wetland and should not be cleared for any reason if you wish to remain eligible for USDA programs, receive SCS technical assistance, or avoid violating US Army Corp of Engineers' and Division of Environmental Management (DEM) regulations. Any exceptions to this statement should be in-writing from the Soil Conservation Service prior to clearing land. ts Ic NW- Non wetland - Area is non wetland and can be cleared and utilized without violating Farm Bill. This determination of non wetland is only for Farm Bill purposes. You may still need US Army Corp of Engineers and Division of Environmental Management determinations before clearing. The Soil Conservation Service does not •r. have the authority to make wetland determinations for these other two agencies. NW- Non wetland--Area has hydriclsoils but for Farm Bill purposes only, area is non wetland due to hydrology modifications prior to 12/23/85. You still need to check with the US*Army Corp of Engineers or the NC DEM to determine if additional permits are necessary prior to clearing. CW ' - Converted Wetland after 11/28/90 - Area was cleared after 11/28/90 and is a converted wetland. Clearing constitutes a violation of the 1990 Farm Bill. In order to regain eligibility for USDA programs, area must be restored. Consult with the SCS about an approved restoration plan before beginning any restoration. If you need to clear the delineated wetlands for roads, buildings, hog lagoons or similar activities, you can request a converted wetland for non agricultural use (CWNA) exemption. If granted, this exemption would be for Farm Bill purposes only; therefore, you would still need to contact the Army Corp of Engineers and the Division of Environmental Management., To request a CWNA exemption, you should complete a request form at the SCS office. It will take approximately 40 days to get this exemption approved once you give this office the request. Dn not start any clearing of wetland prior to receiving written notification from this office that your CWNA request has been approved. Also you should not start clearing until you have received approval from the Army Corp and DEM. All three permits must be received and approved prior to clearing any wetlands. -'" I have tried to-make this determination as fairly as possible. However if you believe this determination is.incorrect, you have the right,to appeal. To appeal send me a brief Ietter explaining why you believe-this determination is incorrect. Send the letter to the.address on the letterhead. This. letter should be received-within 15 days of your receipt of this letter. •�,, � ��.- rt�-,.�f !�atiw /1si►��-��'���r �� Sincerely, The Soil Cona4vation Service is an agency of the C-A-4 PM 3 v Department of Agriculture Michael E. ugg District Conservationist �ii��l�l..�����I■■■ram■�������■ �m��lil■���lO�l�l�llsio!�!!.�!�I�I�I�I�I�I�II� E�l�i�l■�I'.�I�I iI�I�ImI�ISIliiJ9l�l�l■I�I�I�I� ���I�I� I�!�I��I�It�l�l�l■I�I�I�I�I�I�I�I�� WATERSHED AREA MEASUREMENTS CROPLAND-ACRES PASTURE-ACRES ; WOODLAND-ACRES TOTAL ACRES j POND CLASS SKE`MH OF PROPOSEWPOND SHOWING WHERE BORINGS WERE MADE (Appror-scale I','=-feet): Locate re(crence point.-in center line o(dam and Identifil on sketch. r-I_77111 ENO No MENFAMEN 00 010010141"Muffimmon OEM NONE, IF-030mmad INENIONEMENE BORING NUMBER AND PROFILE Make and Ust dam-site and safflumv bor(nus first-then ponded area and borrow pit 6-or(nos-separate with PeWcal rvd ftne.,.

Discharge rates and application rates change over time as equipment gets older and components wear. In particular, pump wear tends to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use, nozzle wear results in an increase in the nozzle opening which will increase the discharge rate while decreasing the wetted diameter. You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the design will alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently the application uniformity. For example, operating the system with excessive pressure results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the sprinkler nozzle. Clogging of nozzles can result in pressure increase. Plugged intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure. Operating below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application uniformity. . For the above reason, you should calibfate your equipment on a regular basis to ensure ` proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at several locations in the application area. Any number of containers can be used to collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because they already have a graduated scale from which to read the application amount without having to perform additional calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets, jars, or anything with a uniform opening and cross-section can be used provided the liquid collected can be easily transferred to a scaled container for measuring. For stationary sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly throughout the application area at several distances from sprinklers. For traveling guns, sprinklers should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direction of pull. Set out collection containers 25 feet apart along the transect on both sides of the gun cart. You should compute the average application rate for all nonuniformity of the application. On a windless day, variation between containers of more than 30 percent is cause for concern. You should contact your irrigation dealer or technical specialist for assistance. *Reprinted for Certification Training for Operations of Animal Waste Management Systems Manual Y MORTALITY MANAGEMENT METHODS (check which method(s) are being implemented) ( ) Burial three feet beneath the surface of the ground within 24 hours after knowledge of the death.

C ( ) 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 of th'e State Veterinarian must be attached) 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 and wet periods. Maximum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the receiving crop is dormant (such as wintertime for bermudagrass) or when there are extended rainy spells such as the thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means that at the first signs of plant growth in the later winter/early spring, irrigation according to a farm 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 periods. In the late summer/early fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the low 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 starting to irrigate does not leave room for storing excess water during extended wet periods. Overflow from the lagoon for apy reason except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a violatiQ11 of state law and subject to penalty actioil. 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 oil 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 i Lagoon surface---look for: J- 1. undesirable vegetative growth 2. floating or lodged debris 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 da»>. 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. 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. YQu may need to provide a temporary fix if there is a threat of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the ` technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless recommended by an appropriate technical expert. 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. NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that you are not 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 should 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. 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 r P 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 excessively, you may have an inflow problem frorn a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the lagoon from the surrounding land. 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 is recommended if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during 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. Practice water conservation---minimize building water usage and r 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 Management: Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and the full temporary storage level. Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the minimum liquid level 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 storage will be maximized for the summer thunderstorm season. Similarly, irrigate in the late summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon storage for the winter. The lagoon liquid level should Stever be closer than I foot to the lowest point of the dam 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 liquid 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 Iagoon dam 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. newater 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 Iagoon 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 Iagoon 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, you should stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can be 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 structure. Types of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of the dam. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for ensuring structure safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures include: Modification of the lagoon structure---an example is the placement of a pipe in the dam without proper design and construction. (Consult an expert in lagoon design before placing any pipes in dams.) • 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 during sludge removal, or rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level betow groundwater table. NOTE: If lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving water will soon cause gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly cause a large discharge of wastewater and possible-dam failure.

( ) Clean up spillage on a routine basis (e.g. 7-10 day interval during summer; 15-30 day interval during winter). Feed Storage Accumulations of feed residues ( ) Reduce moisture accumulation within and around immediate perimeter of feed storage areas by insuring drainage away from site and/or providing adequate containment (e.g., covered bin for brewer's grain and similar high moisture grain products). ( ) Inspect for and remove or break up accumulated solids in filter strips around feed storage as needed. Animal Holding Areas Accumulations of animal wastes () Eliminate low area that trap moisture along fences and feed wastage and other locations where waste accumulates and and disturbance by animals is minimal. () 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). AMIC--November 11, 1996 Dry Manure Handling Accumulations of animal wastes (} Remove spillage on a routine basis (e.g. 7-1 O day Systems interval during summer; 15-30 days interval during winter) where manure is loaded for land application or disposal. { ) Provide for adequate drainage around manure stockpiles. O Inspect for and remove or break up accumulated wastes in filter stripes around stockpiles and manure handling areas as needed. The issues checked (/pertain to this operation. The landowner/integrator agrees to use sound judgment in applying insect control measures as practical. I certify the aforementioned insect control Best Management Practices have been reviewed with me.
