Antarnii Moto The following Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization table provides an estimate ofthe number of acres needed for sludge utilization for the indicated accumulation period. These estimates are based on average nitrogen concentrations for each source, the number of animals in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application rates shown in the second column. Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application ofthe effluent. At clean out, this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases, the priority nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since nutrient levels are generally very high, application of sludge must be carefully applied. Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray fields should not be used for sludge application. If this is not possible, care should be taken not to load effluent application fields with high amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water moving to streams and lakes, phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a concern.

Available storage capacity is calculated as the design storage capacity in days minus the number of days of net storage volume accumulated. The start date is a value entered by the user and is defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or holding pond is equal to zero. Available storage capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the design storage capacity ofthe facility. Ifthe available storage capacity is greater than the design storage capacity, this indicates that the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated. If available storage capacity is negative, the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design storage volume of the structure. Either of these situations indicates that the planned application interval in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the structure's temporary storage capacity. rtvamluiv Source Name « w 1,71M10.14# IJM ILV Swine Nursery Lagoon Liquid Design Storage Capacity (Days) Start Date 9/1 180 Plan Year Month Available Storage Capacity (Days) * 1 1 180 1 2 180 1 3 180 1 4 180 1 5 180 1 6 180 1 7 180 1 8 180 1 9 180 1 10 180 1 11 180 1 12 .180 * Available Storage Capacity is calculated as of the end of each month. 784458 Database Version 4.1 Date Printed: 07-25-2017 Capacity Page 1 of 1 Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management 1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste that 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 the waste, he/she shall provide evidence 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 waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving crop type, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications 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 eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips). • 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste application: Waste should not be applied when there.is danger of drift from the land application field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is 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). 784458 Database Version 4.1 Date Printed: 7/25/2017 Specification Page 1 f 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 and flies. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the soil 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. 10. Nutrients from waste 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 canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1,1995, shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters. 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 784458 Database Version 4.1 Date Printed: 7/25/2017 Specification Page 2 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 the fields have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge 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 frees, 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. 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 pre -plant 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. 784458 Database Version 4.1 Date Printed: 7/25/2017 Specification Page 3 r erLN 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 nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. 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 and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three 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. 784458 Database Version 4.1 Date Printed: 7/25/2017 Specification Page 4 fork Crop Notes The following crop note applies to field(s): 1, 2 Bermudagrass Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, Moderately Well Drained. - Adaptation: Well -adapted. In the Coastal Plain, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. 1 to Mar. 31. Cover sprigs 1" to 3" deep (1.5" optimal). Sprigs should be planted quickly after digging and not allowed to dry in sun and wind. For Coastal and Tifton 78 plant at least 10 bu/ac in 3' rows, spaced 2' to 3' in the row. Generally a rate of 30 bu/ac is satisfactory to produce full groundcover in one or two years under good growing conditions. Tifton 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bu/ac in 1.5' to 2' rows spaced 1' to 1.5' in row. For broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus, potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 100 lb/ac N in the establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply 180 to 240 lb/ac N annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts. Reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for more information or consult your regional agronomist or extension agent for assistance. The following crop note applies to field(s): 1, 2 Small Grain: CP, Mineral Soil, medium leachable In the Coastal Plain, oats and barley should be planted from October 15-October 30; and rye from October 15-November 20. For barley, plant 22 seed/drill row foot and increase the seeding rate by 5% for each week seeding is delayed beyond the optimum time. See the seeding rates table for applicable seeding rate modifications in the current NCSU "Small Grain Production Guide". Also, increase the initial seeding rate by at least 10% when planting no -till. Oats should be planted at 2 bushels/acre and rye at 1-1 1/2 bushels/acre. Plant all these small grains at 1-1 1/2" deep. Adequate depth control is essential. Review the NCSU Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to select a high yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions.

The time required for the planned fluid level to be reached may vary due to soil conditions,flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. 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 that 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. 2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see Attachment B) before land application. 3. Begin pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches eleva- tion 49.7 as marked by permanent markers. Stop pump -out when the fluid level reaches elevation 46.6 or before fluid depth is less than 6 feet deep (this prevents the loss of favorable bacteria) . 4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.4 inch per hour. 5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain a vigorous 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. 6. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States. The Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ- mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law. ex\ r r SEEDING RECOMMENDATIONS AREA TO BE SEEDED: 3.0 ACRES USE THE SEED MIXTURE INDICATED: O LBS.

Discharge rates and application rates change over time as equipment gets older and components wear. In particularr, pump wear tends to reduce operating pressure and. flow. With continued user 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 calibrate 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 directiorr 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. 0n a windless day, variation between containers; of more than 30 percent -is cause for concern. You should contact your irrigatiorr dealer or technical specialist for assistance. 'Reprinted for Carriffcagon Training for Operations of Animal Waste Management Systems Manua! wed problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable- to inspect your system during or determine proper following a. heavy rain_ If technical, assistance is needed to proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts. You. should. record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and them record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no per. ThimwilL give you. an idea of how much yourlagoon level will rise with a. certain rainfall amount (youmustalso be recording yourrai nfall, for this to work).. Snowing this shouldhelgim planning irrigation applications and storage. If yourlagoon rises excessively, you. may' have&& inflow problem from a.surface waxer diversion or there may be seepageunto the lagoon from the surrounding land. Lagoon Operation Starinp- 1� Immediately afterconstruction establish &complete sod cover on barescat surfaces to avoid erosion_ 2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume atleast 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. f'exible pipe extenderon the end of the pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon d initial. filling or another means of siowin the incomingwater to avoid. during aof the lining. g 4% When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize - bacterial establishment (due to wanner weather). 5: It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from &.healthy. working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25'perrcent of the full.lagoom liquid volume. This seeding should occour at leasr two weeks priorto the addition of wastewater. 6- Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH- If the pS falls below 7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of 1 poundper1000 cubicfeetof lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above T.O. 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 warns season. The:more-freouentli and regularly thatwastewater-is. added. to a.lagoon; the betterthe: lagooir will function. Flush sy stems thatwash waste into the -lagoon- several tinzes•daily=are opumu' for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more- buildings are -drained: and.recbarged.each day, also work.well. 00. M • Practice water conservation --minimize building water usage and spillage from leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdowa through. proper maintenance and water conservation.. 14(mimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted.. This will reduce the amount of sohds entering the lagoon Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and the full temporary storage level_ Place visible markers orstakes on the lagoon bank to show the minimum liquid level and the maximum liquid lever (Figure2--1).. Start -irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring based. ow nutrient requirements and soil moisture so that'ternporary storage wilt 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 never be closer thair 1 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 theliquid: surface. and as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible.. Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-steemmed forage orvegetatio 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.varmintcontrol nearlagootredges_ Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon danr orembankmeat Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity iv. 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. thepossibility oft pollutant discharge. •L erudgeReamoval: Rama -lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced. by: • M egt ft‘ - proper lagoon sizing, mechanical solids separation of flushed waste, gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designedbasa,.or minimizing feed wastage and spillage. Lagoon. clttdge 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: Hirea 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 parr of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or forageland; mix remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicatorhaut 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; bernr 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 egar esis of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste: constijust as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different nutrtentand metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields wilt be limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field andcrop requirement. Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter3. When removing sludge, you mustalso pay attention to the liner to prevent damage: Close attentionby the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon linerremains. intact. If y 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 caa be removed without liner injury. If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as. possible: Sudgeremoved from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and.heavy metal content liquid- Because of this it should probably be applied to land. with low phosphorus: and.metailevels, as indicated bya soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chanceoff erosion~ Noce thata f the sludge is applied to fields with very high- soil -test phosphores;.it shoulcL 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 odorat the: waste application•site . tra.precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and. other conditions.whieh increase the concern of neighbors.

If - wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffles. irr thelagoorr maybe used to reduce the wave impacts. . Any of these features could Lead to erosion and. weakening of the dam:. If yourlagoozrhas 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 •fix if thereis, a .treat: 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--t heck for proper operation of: 1. recycling pumps 2. irrigation pumps Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud orgzinding: noise, or a large amount of vibration, may indicate that the pump is in need orrepairor replacement NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated.frequently enough- so thatyou_ are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure.
