conditions and limitations.
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
1. Any discharge of waste that reaches surface waters or wetlands is prohibited except as otherwise
provided in this General Permit and associated statutory and regulatory provisions. Waste shall
not reach surface waters or wetlands by runoff, drift, manmade conveyance, direct application,
direct discharge or through ditches, terraces, or grassed waterways not otherwise classified as
state waters.
The waste collection, treatment, storage and application system operated under this General
Permit shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non-discharge system to prevent the
discharge of pollutants to surface waters or wetlands. Application of waste to terraces and
grassed waterways is acceptable as long as it is applied in accordance with Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) Standards and does not result in a discharge of waste to surface
waters or wetlands.
Facilities must be designed, constructed, operated, and maintained to contain all waste plus the
runoff from a 25-year, 24-hour rainfall event for the location of the facility. A facility that has a
discharge of waste that results because of a storm event more severe than the 25-year, 24-hour
storm will not be considered to be in violation of this General Permit if the facility is otherwise in
compliance with its Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) and this General
Permit.
Any discharge or application of waste to a ditch that drains to surface waters or wetlands is
prohibited except as follows: (a) discharges from the ditches are controlled by best management
practices (BMPs) designed in accordance with NRCS standards; (b) the BMPs have been
submitted to and approved by the Division of Water Resources (Division); (c) the BMPs were
implemented as designed to prevent a discharge to surface waters or wetlands; (d) the waste was
removed immediately from the ditch upon discovery; and (e) the event was documented and
reported in accordance with Condition III.13. of this General Permit. Nothing in this exception
shall excuse a discharge to surface waters or wetlands except as may result because of rainfall

V. GENERAL CONDITIONS
1. The issuance of a COC to operate under this General Permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the
responsibility for compliance with all applicable surface water, wetlands, groundwater and air
quality standards or for damages to surface waters,wetlands or groundwaters resulting from the
animal operation.
2. The maximum waste level in lagoons/storage ponds shall not exceed that specified in the
facility's CAVR P. At a minimum, maximum waste level for lagoons/storage ponds must not
exceed the level that provides adequate storage to contain the 25-year, 24-hour storm event plus
an additional one (1) foot of structural freeboard except that there shall be no violation of this
condition if (a) there is a storm event more severe than a 25-year, 24-hour event, (b) the
Permittee is in compliance with its CAWMP, and (c) there is at least one (1) foot of structural
freeboard.
In addition to the above requirements,for new and expanding farms with lagoon and storage pond
designs completed after September 1, 1996, storage must also be provided for the heavy rainfall
factor for the lagoons/storage pond. In case of lagoons/storage ponds in series that are gravity
fed,the 25-year, 24-hour storm event and/or the heavy rainfall factor storage requirement for the
system may be designed into the lowest lagoon/storage pond in the system. However, adequate
freeboard must be designed into the upper lagoons/storage ponds to allow sufficient storage to
prevent the waste level from rising into the structural freeboard while the storm water is draining
into the lowest structure in the system.
3. Any containment basin, such as a lagoon or a storage pond, used for waste management shall
continue to be subject to the conditions and requirements of this General Permit until properly _
closed. When the containment basin is properly closed in accordance with the NRCS NC
Conservation Practice Standard No. 360 "Closure of Waste Impoundments," February 2008 or
any subsequent amendment,the containment basin shall not be subject to the requirements of this
General Permit. The Permittee must submit a letter to the Division to request rescission of the
COC by providing documentation of closure of all containment basins.
Closure shall also include a minimum of 24 hours pre-notification of the Division and submittal
of the Animal Waste Storage Pond and Lagoon Closure Report Form to the address identified on
the form within fifteen(15)days of completion of closure.
4. This General Permit allows for the distribution of up to four(4)cubic yards of manure per visit to
individuals for personal use.. The maximum distribution of manure per individual for personal
use is ten(10)cubic yards per year. The Permittee must provide the recipient(s)with information
on the nutrient content of the manure. Distribution of greater quantities must be to individuals or
businesses permitted to distribute the waste, or to be land applied to sites identified in the
Permittee's CAWMP.
The Permittee must inform the recipient(s) of his/her responsibilities to properly manage the land
application of manure. Record keeping for the distribution of manure up to four(4) cubic yards
per visit or ten(10)cubic yards per year to individuals for personal use is not required.
5. The annual permit fee shall be paid by the Permittee within thirty (30) days after being billed by
the Division. Failure to pay the fee accordingly constitutes grounds for revocation of its COC to
operate under this General Permit.
6. Failure of the Permittee to maintain, in full force and effect, lessee and landowner agreements,
which are required in the CAWMP, shall constitute grounds for revocation of its COC to operate
under this General Permit.

Permit Number AWG100000
7. A COC to operate under this General Permit is not transferable. In the event there is a desire for
the facility to change ownership, or there is a name change of the Permittee, a Notification of
Change of Ownership form must be submitted to the Division, including documentation from the
parties involved and other supporting materials as may be appropriate. This request shall be
submitted within sixty (60) days of change of ownership. The request will be considered on its
merits and may or may not be approved.
8. A COC to operate under this General Permit is effective only with respect to the nature and
volume of wastes described in the application and other supporting data. The Permittee shall
notify the Division immediately of any applicable information not provided in the permit
application.
Any proposed modification to an animal waste management system including the installation of
lagoon covers shall require approval from the Division prior to construction.
9. If the Permittee wishes to continue an activity regulated by this General Permit after the
expiration date of this General Permit, the Permittee must apply for and obtain a new COC.
Renewal applications must be filed at least 180 calendar days prior to the expiration of the
General Permit.
10. The issuance of a COC to operate under this General Permit does not prohibit the Division from
reopening and modifying the General Permit or COC, revoking and reissuing the General Permit
or COC, or terminating the General Permit or COC as allowed by the appropriate laws,rules, and
regulations.
11. The Director may require any person, otherwise eligible for coverage under this General Permit,
to apply for an individual permit by notifying that person that an application is required.
12. The Groundwater Compliance Boundary is established by 15A NCAC 2L .0102 and 15A NCAC
2T .0103. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at or beyond the Compliance
Boundary is subject to the requirements of 15A NCAC 2L and the Division in addition to the
penalty provisions applicable under the North Carolina General Statutes.
13. Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit
documentation to the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to
restocking of the facility.
VI. PENALTIES
1. Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this General Permit; the facility's
COC; the facility's CAWMP; and/or applicable state law; may subject the Permittee to an
enforcement action by the Division including but not limited to the modification of the animal
waste management system,civil penalties,criminal penalties and injunctive relief.
2. The Permittee must comply with all conditions of this General Permit. Any permit
noncompliance constitutes a violation of state law and is grounds for enforcement action; for
permit coverage termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification; or denial of a permit
coverage renewal application.
3. It shall not be a defense for a Permittee in an enforcement action to claim that it would have been
necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the
conditions of this General Permit.

VH. DEFINITIONS
25-year, 24-hour rainfall or storm event means the maximum 24-hour precipitation event with a
probable recurrence interval of once in 25 years,as defined by the National Weather Service in Technical
Paper Number 40, "Rainfall Frequency Atlas of the United States," May 1961, and subsequent
amendments,or equivalent regional or state rainfall probability information developed therefrom.
Agronomic rates means the amount of animal waste and/or other nutrient sources to be applied to lands
as outlined in NRCS NC Conservation Practice Standards No. 590 "Nutrient Management" or as
recommended by the NCDA&CS and the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service at the time of
certification of the Animal Waste Management Plan by the appropriate certified technical specialist.
Amendment to the CAWMP means a change and/or addition to a part(s)of the plan,and requires that the
change and/or addition adhere to current applicable standards. The following are examples of
amendments to the CAWMP:
• In an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or cropping pattern that utilizes 25% or less of the N
generated is considered a plan amendment.Additional acreage needed to facilitate the change in crops
and/or cropping pattern is permissible and considered part of the amendment.
• The addition of winter crops and/or interseeded perennial crops are considered amendments to an
existing CAWMP when the operation does not require additional acreage and/or crops for N
utilization,and does not exceed the 25%criteria stated above.
• When a CAWMP cannot meet N utilization requirements due to land lost to irrigation inefficiency
(useable versus total acres), then the CAWMP may be amended to increase available acreage and/or
change the crop for N utilization.This is the only exception to the 25%N criteria for plan revision.
• Inclusions of emergency action plans, and insect, odor and mortality checklists are considered
CAWMP amendments.
• Including additional acreage for land application beyond what is required in the existing CAWMP is
considered a plan amendment.
Animal feeding operation means a lot or facility(other than an aquatic animal production facility)where
the following conditions are met: (i) animals (other than aquatic animals) have been, are, or will be
stabled or confined and fed or maintained for a total of forty five (45) days or more in any twelve (12)
month period, and (ii) crops, vegetation, forage growth, or post-harvest residues are not sustained in the
normal growing season over any portion of the lot or facility. Two or more animal feeding operations
under common ownership are considered to be a single animal feeding operation if they adjoin each other,
or if they use a common area or system for the disposal of wastes.
Certification means technical specialist certification of the CAWMP in accordance with the requirements
of 15A NCAC 02T .1304. It is unrelated to terms "Annual Certification" as used in Condition III.14 of
this General Permit, and the "No Discharge Certification Option' allowed by the November 2008 EPA
CAFO Rule.
Ditch means any man made channel for the purpose of moving water off a site to the surface waters.
Excessive Ponding means any area of the application field where visible liquid waste is ponded on the
surface of the land application site more than four(4)hours following the application of waste. Excessive
ponding also means any areas where the ponding of waste has resulted in crop failure.
Groundwaters means any subsurface waters,as defined in 15A NCAC 2L .0102.

finish to wean to feeder), retrofit of a lagoon, installation of a new irrigation system, and similar type
changes. Recertification is only required for major changes to the CAWMP. Major changes to a facility
must first be approved by the Division. The new CAWMP and the certification shall be submitted with a
request that the COC be amended to reflect the changes. The facility may not make the changes until a
new or amended COC has been issued.
Revision to the CAWMP means a change to an entire CAWMP to meet current applicable standards. A
CAWMP must be revised if the operation cannot utilize all N nitrogen generated by the animal production
in accordance with the existing CAWMP, except for the specific conditions noted in the CAWMP
amendment criteria as previously defined. For an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or cropping
pattern that utilizes more than 25%of the N generated by the operation is considered a plan revision.Any
change to an existing CAWMP,whether an amendment or revision, must be signed and dated by both the
producer and a technical specialist for the new CAWMP to be valid. A revision of the CAWMP does not
require recertification.
State Waters means all surface waters,wetlands, groundwaters and waters of the United States located in
the State.
Surface Waters means any stream, river, brook, swamp, lake, sound,tidal estuary, bay, creek, reservoir,
waterway, or other surface body or surface accumulation of water,whether public or private, or natural or
artificial, that is contained in, flows through, or borders upon any portion of the State of North Carolina,
including any portion of the Atlantic Ocean over which the State has jurisdiction as well as any additional
Waters of the United States which are located in the State.
Waste means manure, animal waste, process wastewater and/or sludge generated at an animal feeding
operation.
Wetlands means areas that are inundated or saturated by an accumulation of surface or groundwater at a

This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking,
overflowing, or running of site. You should not wait until wastes reach surface waters or Ieave
Your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to ensure that
this does not happen_ 1his plani ce [e 1 ca i n tor-alleml2loye-es at the
faciliN. The following are some action items you should take.
I. 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 waste to fields at an acceptable rate.
c, Stop all flows to the Iagoon 'i=ediately.
d. Call a pumping contractor.
e. Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon.
B. Runoff from waste application field-actions include:
a. 1rmediately stop wastc application.
b. Create a temporary diversion to contain waste.
c. Incorporate waste to reduce runoff.
d_ Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s) that caused the rurnoE
e. Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runo-fir occurred.
C. Leak age from the waste pipes and sprinklers-action include:
a. Stop recycle pump.
b. Stop irrigation pump.

b. Stop irrigation pump.
c. Make sure no siphon occurs.
d. Stop all flows in the house, flush systems, or solid separators.
e. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
E. Leakage from base or sidewali of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed to flowing
leaks-possible action: g
a. Dig a small well or ditch to catch all seepage,
back to lagoon, put in a submersible pump, and pump
b. If holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill holes and
compact with a clay type soil.
c. Have a professional evaluate the condition of the side walls and lagoon bottom as soon
as possible.
2. Assess the.extent of the spill and note any obvious damages.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN SHEET 1 OF 2
------------------------------
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) and
180 days of temporary storage. The time required
fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to bereachedh may lvaryd
due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount
of fresh water added to the system.
The designed temporary storage consists of storage for:
(1) waste from animals and (2) excess rainfallz80 afteryevaporation. Also
included is storage for the 25 year - 24 hour storm for the location.
The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will,be
fairly constant throughout the year and from
rainfall will vary from ear to year to year, but excess
Y year. The 25 year rainfall will not
be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage
volume must always be available.
A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin
Pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of Pipe (s) from
buildings) . If the outlet pipe is not installed at the elevation to
begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed at this elevation
to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established
to stop pumping to maintain lagoon treatment depth.
Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two
weather,
elevations far operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as
soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without
runoff or leaching.
Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable
method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set,
center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be
taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops.
The following items are to be carried out:
I. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre-
charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during
start-up. Pre-charging reduces the concentration of the initial
waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be
covered with effluent at all times. When precharging is
flush buildings with recyc complete,
led lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not
be used for flushing after initial filling.
2 . The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This
Plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment)
before land application.
3 . Begin temporary storage pump-out of the lagoon when
reaches the elevation fluid level
48 .4 as marked by permanent marker. sto
out when the fluid level reaches elevation 45. 3 p pip
storage, less 25 yr- 24 hr storm, contains 301783 Cubic�feetmorrary
2257337 gallons.

SHEET 2 OF 2
4 . The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is
one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.3
inch per hour. Refer to the waste utilization plan for further details.
5 . Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the .
lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed
to maintain a vigorous stand.
6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and
establish in vegetation.
7 . All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable
outlets.
8 . Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around
waste utilization fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will
not be applied in open ditches. Do not pump within 200 feet of a
residence or within 100 feet of a well. Waste shall be applied in a
manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways.
9 . The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of
pollutants into waters of the United States. The Department of
Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ-
mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law.

SHEET I OF 2
SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS
----------------------------------------------------------
FOUNDATION PREPARATION:
-----------------------
The foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be
cleared of trees, logs, stumps, roots, brush, boulders,sod and rubbish.
Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The topsoil from
the lagoon and pad area should be stripped and stockpiled for use on
the dike and pad areas. After stripping, the foundation area of the
lagoon embankment and building pad shall be thoroughly loosened prior
to placing the first lift of fill material to get a good bond.
EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT:
-----------------------------------
The completed excavation and earthfill shall conform to the lines,
grades, and elevations shown on the plans. Earthfill material shall
be free of material such as sod, roots, frozen soil, stones over
6 inches in diameter, and other objectionable material. To the extent
they are suitable, excavated materials can be used as fill. The fill
shall be brought up in approximately horizontal layers not to exceed 9
inches in thickness when loose and prior to compaction. Each layer
will be compacted by complete coverage with the hauling and spreading
equipment or standard tamping roller or other equivalent method.
Compaction will be considered adequate when fill material is observed
to consolidate to the point that settlement is not readily detectible.
NOTE THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PLACEMENT OF LINERS IN THE LINER
SECTION OF THIS SPECIFICATION. The embankment of the lagoon shall be
installed using the more impervious materials from the required
excavations. Construction of fill heights shall include 5 percent for
settlement. Dikes over 15 feet in height and with an impoundment
capacity of 10 acre-feet or more fall under the
of the
Dam Safety Law. The height is defined as the difference tinnelevationC
from the constructed height to the downstream toe of the dike.
Precautions shall be taken during construction to prevent excessive
erosion and sedimentation.
LINER: THE MINIMUM REQUIRED THICKNESS SHALL BE 1. 6 ft.
NOTE: LINERS (PARTIAL OR FULL) ARE REQUIRED WHEN THE ATTACHED SOILS
INVESTIGATION REPORT SO INDICATES OR WHEN UNSUITABLE MATERIAL IS
ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRUCTION. A TYPICAL CROSS SECTION OF THE LINER
IS INCLUDED IN THE DESIGN WHEN LINERS ARE REQUIRED BY THE SOILS REPORT.
When areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will be over-
excavated below finish grade to the specified depth as measured
perpendicular to the finish grade. The foundation shall be backfilled
as specified to grade with a SCS approved material (ie - CL,SC,CH) .
REFER TO THE SOILS INVESTIGATION INFORMATION IN THE PLANS FOR SPECIAL
CONSIDERATIONS.

SHEET 2 OF 2
Soil liner material shall come from an approved borrow area. The
minimum water content of the liner material shall be optimum moisture
content which relates to that moisture content when the soil is kneaded
in the hand it will form a ball which does not readily separate. Water
shall be added to borrow as necessary to insure proper moisture content
during placement of the liner. The moisture content of the liner
material shall not be less than optimum water content during placement.
The maximum water content relates to the soil material being too wet
for efficient use of hauling equipment and proper compaction. Proper
compaction of the liner includes placement in 9 inch lifts and
compacted to at least 90 percent of the maximum ASTM D698 Dry Unit
Weight of the liner material. When smooth or hard, the
shall be scarified and moistened as needed before placement vofuthelft next
lift.
The single most important factor affecting the overall compacted perme-
ability of a clay liner, other than the type of clay used for the
liner, is the efficient construction processing of the compacted liner.
The sequence of equipment use and the routing of equipment in an estab-
lished pattern helps assure uniformity in the whole placement and
compaction process. For most clay soils, a tamping or sheepsfoot
roller is the preferable type of compaction equipment.
The soil liner shall be protected from the discharge of waste outlet
Pipes. This can be done by using some type of energy dissipator(rocks)
or using flexible outlets on waste pipes.
Alternatives to soil liners are synthetic liners and bentonite sealant.
When these are specified, additional construction specifications are
included with this Construction Specification.
CUTOFF TRENCH: 5
--------------
A cutoff trench shall be constructed under the embankment area when
shown on a typical cross section in the plans. The final depth of the
cutoff trench shall be determined by observation of the foundation
materials.
VEGETATION:
All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded
to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construc-
tion according to the seeding specifications. Topsoil should be placed
on areas of the dike and pad to be seeded. Temporary seeding or mulch
shall be used if the recommended permanent vegetation is out of season
dates for seeding. Permanent vegetation should be established as soon
as possible during the next period of approved seeding dates.
REMOVAL OF EXISTING TILE DRAINS

-------------------------------
When the drains are encountered, the tile will be removed to a minimum
of 10 feet beyond the outside toe of slope of the dike. The tile
trench shall be backfilled and compacted with good material such as
SC, CL, or CH.

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 mowing, spraying, grazing, chopping, or a combination of
these practices. This should be done at Ieast 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

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
S. 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
recommender) 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 Igoon 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 healthy
working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full lagoon
liquid volume. This seeding should occour at least two weeks prior to the
addition of wastewater.
6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below
7.0, add agricultural 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.

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 Iower that the permanent storage
�.� level unless you are removing sludge.
Locate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid
surface and as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible.
Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-stemmed forage or vegetation,
molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon.
Frequently remove solids from batch 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 54 percent of the permanent storage volume.
If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for
obtaining and implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility of a
pollutant discharge.
Sludge Removal:
Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by:

Proper lagoon sizing,
mechanical solids separation of flushed waste,
gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or
minimizing feed wastage and spillage.
Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will:
have more nutrients,
have more odor, and
require more land to properly use the nutrients.
Removal techniques:
Hire a custom applicator.
Mix the sludge and Iagoon 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 Iagoon; 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 Iiner remains intact. If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should
stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can be
removed without liner injury. If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as
possible.
Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and heavy metal content
than liquid. Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus
and metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of
erosion. Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil-test phosphores, it
should be applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other
wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value.
The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site.
,- Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which
could increase the concern of neighbors.

Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure
Lagoon failures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure. Types
of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of the
dam. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for
ensuring structure safety. Items which may lead to Iagoon 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 lo
table. wering lagoon Iiquid level below groundwater
NOTE: If lagoon water is allowed to overtop the darn, 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.
n

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
w
three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flo 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.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
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 which reaches surface water is prohibited.
2 There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an
agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer
does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of
an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the
use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to
secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation,
increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land.
3 Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop
yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level
of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other
nutrients.
4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste
may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per
year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG
Standard 393- Filter Strip).
5 Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field.
6 When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated
on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland,
the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season
prone to flooding. (See"Weather and Climate in North Carolina"for guidance.)
7 Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff
does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift
from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies.
8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
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 Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a
high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a
minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste
shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking
dormancy.
11 Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following:
The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a
component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary
and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal
waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be
applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those
owned by the landowner.
14 Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways.
15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by
discharge or by over-spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands
provided they 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 courses 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.

(continued)
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 animal waste
during the crop season.
21 Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the
temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be
managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to
mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds.
22 Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually
at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate-determining
element. Zinc and copper levels in the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites
shall be used when these metal approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for
optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept
for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3)
years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5)years.

severe than the 25-year,24-hour storm. The approved plan will be filed on-site at the farm
office and at the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation District and will be
available for review by DEM upon request.

Narrative of Irrigation System Operation
This design is for the use of a center pivot irrigation sytems, replacing an existing hardhose traveller irrigation system
on T4288 fields B, and C on this farm.
Grower may not operate the center pivot, and remaining hardhose traveller system at the same time due to operating
pressure differences between the systems.
These pivots are not 360 degree pivots, therefore, it is critical that the machine stops installed be maintained appropriately
going forward.

dRANTY
The information presented in the attached Dealer Sprinkler Report, Setup Sprinkler Report, and Percent
Timer Report is based on variables which cannot be totally controlled by Valmont (including, but_ not
limiteca to; pivot pressure, inside pipeline surface, end gun throw, end gun arc setting, tire slippage.
tire pressure, field slopes, soil variations, sprinkler package installation, well capacity, center
drive motor voltage, center drive motor frequency, climatic, conditions and other elements an(1
circumstances beyond Valmont's reasonable control.) . Valmont makes no warranty for this sprinkler
package's uniformity and/or distribution of water or chemicals, accuracy or consistency of the
applicat4.on depth, and machine rotation time. Furtherrmoxe, Valntcr.t makes no repr.esentaLions or
recommendations as to percentage timer settings, water application rates, irrigation scheduling, and
other similar or dissimilar irrigation/farm management decisions.
LIABILITY
The responsibility and obligations lie with the end user to determine if the sprinkler package/report
received matches the machine configuration and field conditions (including but not limited to:
sprinkler type, sprinkler spacing, sprinkler height, pressure regulator type, crop, soil type, span
lengths, last regular drive unit tire type, last regular drive unit motor, and pipe diameters) .
VALMONT ASSUMES NO LIABILITY OF WHATSOEVER NAI`URE OR KIND FOR CROP LOSSES OR OTHER DAMAGES (INCTA;DING
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES) CAUSED BY THIS SPRINKLER PACKAGE.
SPRINKLER REPORT GENERAL INFORMATION
Sprinkler reports are created using information from the Sprinkler Order Transmittal received or as
given verk)ally to a Valmont Customer Service/Parts Representative and is considered by Valmont to be
accurate.
Pivot span Length begins at the center of the riser pipe inlet and ends at the center of a flex joint.
intermediate length span begins and ends at the center of a flex joint. Last span length begins at the
center of a flex joint and ends at the last pipe flange.
rot pressure begins at the first coupler on tl:e pipeline downstream of the pivot elbow. End pressure
.,,ated by Lhe report will be within a range of - 0 to +1.1 PSI )f the specified end pressure at the end
of the machine pipeline. Calculated pressure stated by the report will be within a range cf -0 to 11.1
PSI. of the minimum sprinkler pressure specified by Valmont or its sprinkler suppliers.
Pipeline rressure and drop length stated by the report for a bowstring span are adjusted for elevation
change due to crown height, tire size and drive unit profile.
Calculated sprinkler ground clearance extends from the ground surface up to the point: where the water
exits the sprinkler.
Highest elevation stated by the report is prorated oGrer the first 30% of machine length with the
remaining machine length at the highest elevation and is only used with sprinkler packages containing
pressure regulators.
Non-pressure regulated machines are considered to be on 1Pve1 ground. Pressure regulators will have a
minimum inlet pressure of 5 PSI plus their nominal pressure rating.
Auxiliaxy end gun will be specified by the sprinkler program oily when it is requested by the customer
and the primary end gun cannot meet the end gun required flow. End gun coverage area can be over
watering or under watering based upon end gun nozzle size and/or booster pump flow limi`.ations.
The Percentage Timer Data report is based upon typical operating conditions. Valmont recommends
monitoring the machirie for at least one revolution to r;btain -n accurate rotation time.
water application rates and rotation times riay vary with a c:nrner machine operating in chemigate ;node,
