Narrative
This WUP is written using wettable acres footprint. The plan is written using a two year rotation. The
wheat shown in the table may be used following either corn or summer annual.
** If summer annual is plented then 100 lbs N/AC should be used in the IRR-2 Forms for Computation of
waste application records. Pumping on summer Annual may be done from 4/1-7/31 application rates and
amounts will remain the same for all soils as listed in the Irrigation Application Factors Table.
*** The fescue in feild 4 may be either grazed or cut for hay using the 200 lbs N/Ac rate.

The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of cropland needed to use the
nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown,their nutrient requirements,and proper timing of applications to maximize nutri
uptake.
This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or other by-products,
commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each field in order to supply the indicated quantity of
nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for thi
utilization of the manure generated by the operation.

The Irrigation Application Factors for each field in this plan are shown in the following table. Infiltration rate varies with soils. If
applying waste nutrients through an irrigation system,you must apply at a rate that will not result in runoff. This table provides the
maximum application rate per hour that may be applied to each field selected to receive wastewater. It also lists the maximum
application amount that each field may receive in any one application event.

The following Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization table provides an estimate of the 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 of the 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.

The Available Waste Storage Capacity table provides an estimate of the number of days of storage capacity available at
the end of each month of the plan. 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 of
the facility. If the 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.

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).
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.
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 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.
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.
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.

Double-Crop Soybeans, Coastal Plain: Mineral soil,medium leachable
Double-crop soybeans should be planted as early in June as possible with planting completed by July 4th.
When no-tilling soybeans in small grain straw, it is essential to manage the straw to achieve adequate plant
populations. 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. Plant 2-4
seed/row foot for 7-8 drills; 4-6 seed/row foot for 15" rows; 6-8 seed/row foot for 30" rows and 8-10
seed/row foot for 36" rows. Increase the seeding rate by at least 10%for no-till planting. Seeding depth
should be 1-1 1/2" and adequate depth control is essential. Phosphorus and potash recommended for the
soybeans can be applied to the wheat in the Fall. Soybeans produce their own nitrogen and are normally
grown without additions of nitrogen. However, applications of 20-30 lbs/acre N are sometimes made at
planting to promote early growth and vigor. Tissue samples can be analyzed during the growing season to
monitor the overall nutrient status of the soybeans. Timely management of weeds and insects is essential
for profitable double crop soybean production.

Fescue: Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil,Moderately Well Drained
Adaptation: Marginal.
In the Coastal Plain, tall fescue can be planted Sept. 1 to Oct. 15 (best)and Feb. 15 to Mar. 20. For
pure-stand broadcast seedings use 20 to 30 lb/ac., for drilled use 15 to 20 lb/ac. seed. Use certified seed to
avoid introducing weeds or annual ryegrass. Plant seed 0.25"to 0.5"deep for pure stands, 0.25"in mixture
with clovers. Tall fescue requires adequate soil moisture for persistence and production. Soil test for
preplant and maintenance lime, phosphorus, and potassium recommendations. Apply 40 to 60 lb/ac
nitrogen at planting for pure stands only. Do not apply N for mixtures with clovers but use proper legume
inoculation techniques. Apply 150 to 200 lb/ac.N to pure-stand fescue for hay production; reduce N rates
by 25%for grazing. Apply N Feb. 1 to Mar. 20 and Aug. 20 to Sept. 30, with equal amounts in each

Corn: CP,Mineral Soil,medium leaching
In the Coastal Plain,corn is normally planted when soil temperatures reach 52 to 55 degrees fahrenheit.
Review the Official Variety"green book" and information from private companies to select a high yielding
variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Plant 1-2" deep. Plant populations
should be determined by the hybrid being planted. Increase the seeding rate by 10%when planting no-till.
Phosphorus and potassium recommended by a soil test can be broadcast or banded at planting.When
planting early in cool,wet soil,banded phosphorus will be more available to the young plants. An accepted
practice is to apply 20-30 lbs/acre N and 20-30 Ibs/acre phosphorus banded as a starter and one-half the
remaining N behind the planter. The rest of the N should be applied about 3040 days after emergence. The
total amount of N is dependent on soil type.When including a starter in the fertilizer program,the
recommended potassium and any additional phosphorus is normally broadcast at planting. Plant samples
can be analyzed during the growing season to monitor the overall nutrient status of the corn. Timely
management of weeds and insects are essential for corn production.

PROCEDURE TO USE IN CASE OF
WATER DEPRIVATION
Water deprivation will result in salt toxicity in pigs, if they are provided access
to feed during the time period that water is not available. This toxicity occurs
due to the animals inability to excrete salt in the urine. Salt is involved in
controlling water balance in the body. If the pigs are reintroduced to water
rapidly, they will re-hydrate themselves at an accelerated rate. This can result in
swelling of the brain leading to death. Symptoms include pigs that circle
backwards, walk into walls, appear to have stiffened necks, and other
neurological symptoms. You should be aware of the possibility for symptoms of
toxicity if pigs have been without water for approximately 24 hours and were
given access to feed during that time.
When water deprivation is discovered, the pigs should be offered only limited
access to water over a period of 2-3 hours so that they will replenish the water in
1 their body slowly. This will allow them to return to a state of normal water
balance. In order to accomplish this, the pigs should be sprayed with water via a
water,hose or sprinkler system for short periods of time. Be sure that all the pigs
get something to drink; observe that dominate individuals are not allowed to
over consume during this time. Water should be made available this way (i.e.,
sprinkler or hose) for a period of 5-10 minutes every half hour for approximately
3 hours, or until you notice that the pigs are no longer extremely thirsty or
fighting for the available water. After this time period the water system can be
turned back on, observe carefully to see that there is not a great deal of
competition or fighting for the nipple. If this occurs, the pigs probably have not
been sufficiently re-hydrated to avoid over consumption and the symptoms of
toxicity. The dominate pigs are more susceptible because of their ability to fight
for the nipple and, therefore, to over consume water. Pigs that are observed to
have neurological symptoms prior to turning on water should be given small
amounts of water by using a syringe to accomplish the re-hydration. If you
discover a group that has been without water and feed, DO NOT offer feed until
the pigs have been re-hydrated.
If you discover pigs displaying symptoms of toxicity there may be some benefit
from injecting the pig with 1 cc per 20 pounds of dexamenthazone. The logic is
that dexamenthazone will relieve some swelling in the brain and prevent death.
There is no need to inject all animals with dexamenthazone. This treatment
should only be for those exhibiting toxicity symptoms.
In summary, the most important thing to do in case of water deprivation is to
carefully manage the re-hydration process. If pigs are returned to water slowly
j you will be able to avoid toxicity and death.

A. CURTAINS -- Make sure curtains are up. If down check for:
1. Broken cables or strings
2. Check rotem computer program
B. HEATERS -- Young pigs need to be warm at all times. If a power loss
occurs, start generator immediately. If pigs get chilly or cold they will get sick
(sours/pneumonia).
C. VENTILATION -- Ventilation is important to all pigs especially any with
curtains 100% closed. Make ventilation available to pigs. Check your
breakers for a blown fuse in the stir fan controls and/or rotem computer. If
cannot get stir fans going, lower curtains as needed.
D. WATER-- Do not let pigs go without water for more than four hours. Check
remaining building(s).
E. Check remaining building(s) for the above.
F. Feed is important too, but the above is the most important. Pigs can go
without feed for several hours. PLEASE MAKE SURE THE ABOVE IS
DONE FIRST.

GUIDELINES FOR WEATHER ALERT
WARM OT WEATHER
4 Check Older Pigs First For:
A. VENTILATION -- They need ventilation at all times because they use up the
oxygen in the building fast.
"NOTE: Ventilation is as important as water and feed!!!
B. TEMPERATURES -- Temperatures can rise quickly in the building; check
your environmental controls. If controls cannot be repaired immediately, lower
curtains by hand cranks.
C. WATER -- Pigs dehydrate quickly. If not a power loss, check breakers and
water pumps. If it is a power loss...start generator immediately!!!
D. Check remaining building(s) for the above
E. Feed is important too, but the above is the most important. Pigs can go
without feed for several hours. PLEASE MAKE SURE THE ABOVE IS

EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN
Using this outline as guidance, you should develop a specific emergency action plan for
your waste handling system. This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from
your operation are leaking, overflowing, or running off the 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 available to all employees at the facility, as accidents, leaks, and breaks could
happen at any time. Your plan should follow this format:
1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or
may not be possible. Suggested responses to problems are listed below:
a. Lagoon overflow—possible solutions are:
add soil to berm to temporarily increase elevation of dam--any
permanent alteration of the dam should be approved by a
qualified technical specialist
pump wastes to field at an acceptable rate
stop all additional flow to the lagoon (waterers)—hold waste in
house if possible
call a pumping contractor
make sure no surface water is entering lagoon
NOTE: These activities should be started when your lagoon level has exceeded the
temporary storage level.
b. Runoff from waste application field—actions include:
immediately stop waste application
create a temporary diversion or berm to contain the waste on
the field
incorporate waste to reduce further runoff
C. Leakage from the waste distribution system:
pipes and sprinklers—actions include:
— stop recycle (flushing system) pump
— stop irrigation pump
— close valves to eliminate further discharge
— separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow
flush system, houses, solids separators—actions include:
— stop recycle (flushing system) pump
— stop irrigation pump
— make sure no siphon effect has been created
— separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow
d. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often these are seepage as
opposed to flowing leaks—possible action*:
dig a small well or ditch to catch all seepage, put in a
submersible pump, and pump back into lagoon
if holes are caused by burrowing animals,trap or remove
animals and fill holes and compact with a clay type soil
other holes may be likewise temporarily plugged with clay soil
*Lagoon problems require the consultation of an individual
experienced in the design and installation of lagoons for permanent
repair measures.

2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages.
a. Did the waste reach any surface waters?
b. Approximately how much was released and for what duration?
C. Any damage notes, such as employee injury,fish kills, or property
damage?
3. Contact appropriate agencies.
a. During normal business hours, call your DEM regional office, at
910-395-3900, after hours, emergency number: 919-733-3942.
Your phone call should include: your name, facility, telephone
number, the details of incident from item 2 above, the exact
location of the facility, and the location or
direction of movement of the spill, weather and wind
conditions, what corrective measures have been under taken,
and the seriousness of the situation.
b. If spill leaves, or is likely to leave, property or enters surface
waters, call local emergency management services (EMS) at 910-296-
2160.
C. Instruct EMS to contact local Health Department.
d. Contact local Soil and Water Conservation District
Natural Resources Conservation Service office at 910-296-2121,
and Cooperative Extension Service at 910-296-2143for
advice/technical assistance.
e. If you are a contract swine grower associated with a swine company
integrator, contact the company representative.
4. Implement procedures as advised by DEM and technical assistance
`-� agencies to rectify the damage, repair the system, and reassess the
waste management plan to keep problems with release of wastes from
happening again.

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 any reason except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of
state law and subject to penalty action.
The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following:
Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam.
Fescue or common bermudagrass are the most common vegetative
covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year, if needed, to
maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fertilizer applied should be
based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not practical to obtain
a soils test each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas
should be fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or-
equivalent.
Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may be
done by mo,,ving, spraying, grazing, chopping, or a combination of
these practices. This should be dune 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 allo,.yed to enter
the lagoon water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that arc treating
the waste.
Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of
the lagoon and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. Items to be
checked should include, as a minimum, the following:
Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes---look for:
1. separation of joints
2. cracks or breaks
3. accumulation of salts or minerals
4. overall condition of pipes

Lagoon surface---look for:
1. undesirable vegetative growth
2. floating or lodged 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 dam.
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. You 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 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 from 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 healthv
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
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 never be closer than 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 13 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 lagoon dam or embank-mor,t.
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:

l proper lagoon sizing,
mechanical solids separation of flushed waste,
gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or
minimizing feed wastage and spillage.
Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will:
have more nutrients,
have more odor, and
require more land to properly use the nutrients.
Removal techniques:
Hire a custom applicator.
Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper-agitator impeller
pump through large-bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland;
and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; mix remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator; haul
and spread onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; dredge sludge from lagoon with dragline or sludge barge; berm
an area beside lagoon to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back
into lagoon; allow sludge to dewater; haul and spread with manure spreader
onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste
constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different
nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields will be
limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field and crop
requirement. Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3.
When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage. Close
attention by the pumper or drag-line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner remains
intact. If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, 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 phosphor-Is, 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.
l 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
s �eaeesn owner has
the responsibility for
ensurigstruct safety. items 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 below 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.
