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 bolding 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. 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. Ifavailable 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- --Available Wa,;te 'storage Catmeiry Source Name Swine Feeder-Finish Lagoon Li uid Design Storage Ca acity(Days) Start Date 9/1 180 Plan Year Month Available Storage Capacity(Days) 1 1 69 1 2 54 1 3 67 1 4 67 1 5 97 1 6 128 1 7 158 1 8 157 1 9 157 1 10 139 1 11 122 1 12 98 *Available Storage Capacity is calculated as of the end of each month. -- ------------------------------------------ - - - --------------------------------- 21284 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 09-09-2015 Capacity e I of 1 The Irrigation Application Factors for each field in this plan are shown in the following table.

These estimates are based on average nitrogen concentrations for each source,the number ofanimals in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application rates shown in the second column. Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatmentand 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 betaken 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.

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. Z. 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, MRCS 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). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------_.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 321284 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed:9/9/2015 Specification Pane 1 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. S. 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.

Signature of farm Owner/ManagerY Date imhLx 2- b-:-lq Signature of Technical Specialist Date System Calibration Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operation conditions with relatively new equipment. 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 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 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 CerOxation Training for Operations ofAmmai Waste Management Systems Manual 1 OPERATION $MAINTENANCE PLAN Proper lagoon 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 rs dormant(such as wintertime for bermudagrass)or when there are extended rainy spells such as a thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means that at the first sign of plant growth in the later winter/ early spring, irrigation according to a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the land in dry enough to receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet periods. In the late summer 1 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 irrigated does not leave room for suing 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 fertilized 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 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 z Lagoon surface —took 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 or vegetation or as a result of wave action b. rodent damage Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalis, 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 potentiaily 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 of 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 rainfali that hits the lagoon directly. You should inspect your diversion system for the following. 1. adequate vegetation 2. diversion capacity 3. ridge berm height 3 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 overflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the lagoon from the surrounding land. Lagoon Operation Startup: I. 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 occur 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 time at the rate of 9 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. 4 * Practice water conservation --- minimize building water usage and spillage from leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through proper maintenance and water conservation. a 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 level. (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 1 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. Don not pump the lagoon liquid level lower than 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 lagoon 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 o minimizing feed wastage and spillage. Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will: • have more nutrients, • have more odor, and o 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 dragiine 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 phosphors, 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- 6 f The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site- Extra precaution should be used to observe the Mind 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 stricture safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures include: o 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. e 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 darn_ Once this damage starts, it can quickly cause a large discharge of wastewater and possible dam failure.

You should make every effort to ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be posted in an accessible location for all employees at the facility. The following are some action items you should tape. 1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation,this may or may not be possible. Suggested responses to some possible problems are listed below. A. Lagoon overflow-possible solutions are: a) Add soil to berm to increase elevation of darn. b) Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate. c) Stop all flow to the lagoon immediately. d) Call a pumping contractor. e) Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon. B_ Runoff from waste application field-actions include: a) Immediately stop waste application. b) Create a temporary diversion to contain waste. c) Incorporate waste to reduce runoff. d) Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s)that cause the runoff. e) Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred. C. Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinklers-action include: a) Stop recycle pump. b) Stop irrigation pump. c) Close valves to eliminate further discharge. d) Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps. D. Leakage from flush systems, houses,solid separators-action include: a) Stop recycle pump. b) Stop irrigation pump. c) Make sure siphon occurs. d) Stop all flow in the house,flush systems,or solid separators. E. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. often this is seepage as opposed to flowing leaks - possibie action: ible a) Dig a small sump or ditch from the embankment to catch all seepage, put in a subrne s pump,and pump back to lagoon. b) If holes are caused by burrowing animals,trap or remove animals and fill holes and compact with a clay type soil.

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. Ifavailable 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.

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 betaken 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.

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 disldng 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). --------------------- - --- -------------------------------------- --.-------------------------- ------ -- - 321284 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed:9f9/2015 Specification Pa-ge 1 7.

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.

Signature of Farm Owner/Manage Date CL6 � - 3-Z 6-:_0 Signature of Technical Specialist Date t OPERATION &MAINTENANCE PLAN Proper lagoon 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 a thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means that at the fist sign of plant growth in the later winter/early spring, irrigation according to a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the land in dry enough to receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet periods. In the late summer 1 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 irrigated 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 fertilized 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 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--took for: 1. separation of joints 2. cracks or breaks 3. accumulation of salts or minerals 4. overall condition of pipes 2 System Calibration Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operation conditions with relatively new equipment. 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 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 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 34 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 1 • 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 dannage- 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 phosphors, 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- 6 O Practice water conservation -- minimize building water usage and spillage from leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through proper maintenance and water conservation. o 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 level. (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. a The lagoon liquid level should never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest point of the dam or embankment. s Don not pump the lagoon liquid level lower than 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. m 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 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: 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 overflow 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 healthy working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full lagoon liquid volume. This seeding should occur 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 time 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. 4 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 or 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 of 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 aff 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 3 SVWNE FARM WASTE MANAGEMENTODOR CONTROL CHECKLIST Source Cause BMP's to Minknize Odor site specific Practices Farmstead Swine production bf Vegetative or wooded buffers: (`Recommended best management practices; (Good judgment and common sense Animal body Dirty manure ry floors -- - - — surfaces covered animals Floor surfaces Wet manure-covered Slotted floors; floors ( Waterers located over slotted floors; Feeders at high end of solid floors; ( ' crape manure buildup from floors; ( Underfloor ventilation for drying Manure collection Urine KiFrequent manure removal by flush,pit pits recharge or scrape Partial microbial (Underfloor ventilation decomposition 1 Fan maintenance; Ventilation Volotile gases } exhaust fans Dust (Efficient air movement Indoor surfaces Dust f�)Washdown between groups of animals t )Feed additives; ( )Feeder covers; ()Feed delivery downspout extenders to feeder covers Flush Tanks Agitation of recycled( )Flush tank covers - - — lagoon fiquid while tanks (Extend fill fines to near bottom of tanks are filling with anti-siphon vents Flush alleys Agitation during waste NUnderfioor flush with underfloor wager conveyanm ventilation Pit recharge Agitation of recycled()Extend recharge lines to near bottom of points lagoon liquid while pits pits with anti siphon vents are filling Lift stations Agitation during sump ( )Sump tank covers tank flli'mg and drawdown Outside drain Agitation during waste ( )Box.Covers collection or water conveyance junction boxes End of drain Agitation during waste ( )Extend discharge point of pipes pipes at lagoon water underneath lagoon liquid level lagoon surfaces Volatile gas emissions fiC;Proper lagoon liquid capacity Biological mixing (.jConect lagoon startup procedures Agitation ()Minimum surface areaFto-volume ratio rinimum agitation when pumping ))Mechanical aeration ( )Proven biological additives irrigation sprin& Nigh pressure agitation (tUlrrigate on dry days with litfla or no wind nozzles Wind draft KNlinimum recommended operation pressure Pump intake near lagoon liquid surface { )Pump from second-stage lagoon AMOC-November 11,19g6 -- — - I2 J Storage tank or Partial microbial ( )Bottom or midlevel loading basin surface decomposition Mixing while ( )Tank covers filling Agitation when emptying( )Basin surface mats of solids ( )Proven biological additives or oxidants Settling basin Partial microbial decom- ( )Extend drainpipe outlets underneath liquid surface position Mixing while filling level Agitation.when emptying ( )Remove settled solids regularly Manure,slung or Agitation when spreading ( )Soil injection of slurry/sludges sludge spreader Volatile gas emissions ( )Wash residual manure from spreader after use outlets ( )Proven biological additives or oxidants Dead animals Carcass decomposition (Proper disposition of carcasses Dead animal Carcass decomposition ( )Complete covering of carcasses in burial pits disposal pits ( )Proper location!construction of disposal pits Incinerators Incomplete combustion ( )Secondary stack burners Standing water improper drainage lx)Farm access road maintenance around facilities Microbial decomposition of away from facilities organic matter Manure tracked Poorly maintained access XiFarm access road maintenance onto public roads roads from farm access Additional Information: Available From: Swine Manure Management 0200 Rule!BMP Packet NCSU County Extension Center Swine Production Farm Potential Odor Sources and Remedies,EBAE Fact Sheet NCSU-BAE Swine Production Facility Manure ManagementPit Recharge—Lagoon TreatmentEBAE128-88NCSU-BAE Swine Production Facility Manure ManagementUnderfloor Fluse-Lagoon Treatment 129-88NCSU-BAE Lagoon Design and Managementfor Livestock Manure Treatment and Storage; EBAE103-83NGSU-BAE Calibration of Manure and Wastewater Application Equipment EBAE Fact Sheet NCSU-BAE Controlling Odors from Swine Buildings;PIH-33 NCSU-Swine Extension Environmental Assurance Program: NPPC Manual NC Pork Producers Assoc Options for Managing Odor,a report from the Swine Odor Task Force NCSU Agri Communication Nuisance Concerns in Animal Manure Management Odors and Flies;PR0101, Florida Cooperative Extension 1995 Conference Proceedings The issues checked ( ) pertain-to this operation.

AMIC—November 11, 1996 it w EMERGENCY ACTOON PLAN PRONE NUMBERS DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY(DWQ) EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SERVICES (EMS) �1�------- SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT(SWCD) � 'a NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION SERVICE(NRCS) ?tD- to COOPERATIVE EXTENSION SERVICE (CES) This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking, overflowing or running off site, You should not wait until wastes reach surface waters or leave your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be posted in an accessible location for all employees at the facility_ The following are some action items you should take. 1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation,this may or may not be possible. Suggested responses to some possible problems are listed below. A. Lagoon overflow-possible solutions are: a) Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam. b) Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate. c) Stop all-flow to the lagoon immediately. d) Call a pumping contractor. e) Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon. 6_ Runoff from waste application field-actions include: a) Immediately stop waste application. b) Create a temporary diversion to contain waste. c) Incorporate waste to reduce runoff. d) Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s)that cause the runoff. e) Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred. C. Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinklers-action include: a) Stop recycle pump. b) Stop irrigation pump. c) Close valves to eliminate further discharge. d) Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps. D. Leakage from flush systems,houses,solid separators-action include: a) Stop recycle pump. b) Stop irrigation pump. c) Make sure siphon occurs. d) Stop all flow in the house,flush systems,or solid separators. E. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed to flowing leaks - possible action: Bible a) Dig a small sump or ditch from the embankment to catch all seepage, put in a subme� pump,and pump back to lagoon. b) If holes are caused by burrowing animals,trap or remove animals and fill holes and compact with a clay type soil. The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site. Extra precaution should be used to observe the Mind 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 darn. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for ensuring structure safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures include: O 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.) O Lagoon liquid levels—high levels are a safety risk. e Failure to inspect and maintain the dam. e Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon. 9 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. c) Have a professional evaluate the condition of the side walls and the lagoon bottom as ScOo as possible. 2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages. a. Did the waste reach surface waters? b. Approximately how much was released arid for what duration? c. Any damage notes,such as employee injury,fish kills,or property damage? d. Did the spill leave the property? e. Does the spill have the potential to reach surface waters? f. Could a future rain event cause the spill to reach surface waters? g. Are potable water wells in danger(either on or off the property)? h. How much reached surface waters? 3. Contact appropriate agencies. a. During normal business hours call your DWQ regional office; Phone #, After hours, emergency number: (919) 733-3942. Your phone call should include: your name,facility number, telephone number, the details of the incident from item 2 above, the exact location of the facility, the location or direction of the movement of the spill, weather and wind conditions. The corrective measures that have been under taken, and the seriousness of the situation. b. If the spill leaves property or enters surface waters, call local EMS phone number. c. Instruct EMS to contact local Health Department. d. Contact CE's phone number, local SWCD office phone number and the local NRCS office for advice/technical assistance phone number. 4. If none of.the above works call 911 or the Sheriffs Department and explain your problem to them and ask the person to contact the proper agencies for you. 5_ Contact the contractor of your choice to begin repair or problem to minimize offsite damage. a. Contractors Name: b. Contractors Address: a b LA Inn s W, t �' c. Contractors Phone: 6_ Contact the technical specialist who certified the lagoon (NRCS, Consulting Engineer,etc.) a. Name: i 1{ Ou 5 S 01 b. Phone: 7. implement procedures as advised by DWQ 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. 9
