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

The following Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization table provides an estimate of the nlunber 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 hatter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent. At
clean out, this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases, the
priority nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting.
Since nutrient levels are generally very high, application of sludge must be carefully applied.
Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray fields should not
be used for sludge application. If this is not possible, care should be taken not to load effluent application fields
with high amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface
water moving to streams and lakes, phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels
may also be a concern.

Available Waste Storage Capacity
Name Swine Feeder -Finish Lagoon Liquid
Start Date 11/1
Plat Year
The Available Waste Storage Capacity table provides an estimate of the number of days of storage
capacity available at the end of each month of the plan. Available storage capacity is calculated as the
design storage capacity in days minus the number of days of net storage volume accumulated. The
start date is a value entered by the user and is defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first
crop in the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or holding pond is equal to zero.
Available storage capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the design
storage capacity of the facility. If the available storage capacity is greater than the design storage
capacity, this indicates that the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated.
If available storage capacity is negative, the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the
design storage volume of the structure. Either of these situations indicates that the planned application
interval in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the structure's temporary storage capacity.

C rro . Notes
The following crop note applies to field(s): 1, 2, 3, 8, 9
Corn: CP, Mineral Soil, medium leaching
In the Coastal Plain, corn is normally planted when soil temperatures reach 52 to 55 degrees fahrenheit.
Review the Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to select a high yielding
variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Plant 1-2" deep. Plant populations
should be determined by the hybrid being planted. Increase the seeding rate by 10% when planting no -till.
Phosphorus and potassium recommended by a soil test can be broadcast or banded at planting. When
planting early in cool, wet soil, banded phosphorus will be more available to the young plants. An accepted
practice is to apply 20-30 lbs/acre N and 20-30 lbs/acre phosphorus banded as a starter and one-half the
remaining N behind the planter. The rest of the N should be applied about 30-40 days after emergence. The
total amount of N is dependent on soil type. When including a starter in the fertilizer program, the
recommended potassium and any additional phosphorus is normally broadcast at planting. Plant samples
can be analyzed during the growing season to monitor the overall nutrient status of the corn. Timely
management of weeds and insects are essential for corn production.
The following crop note applies to field(s): 1, 2, 3, 8, 9
Wheat: Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, medium leachable
In the Coastal Plain, wheat should be planted from October 20-November 25. Plant 22 seed/drill row foot
at 1-1 1/2" deep and increase the seeding rate by 5% for each week seeding is delayed beyond the optimum
time. See the seeding rates table for applicable seeding rate modifications in the current NCSU "Small
Grain Production Guide". Also, increase the initial seeding rate by at least 10% when planting no -till.
Adequate depth control when planting the wheat is essential. Review the NCSU Official Variety "green
book" and information from private companies to select a high yielding variety with the characteristics
needed for your area and conditions. Apply no more than 30 lbs/acre N at planting. Phosphorus and potash
recommended by a soil test report can also be applied at this time. The remaining N should be applied
during the months of February -March. The total N is dependent on the soil type. Plant samples can be
analyzed during the growing season to monitor the nutrient status of the wheat. Timely management of
diseases, insects and weeds are essential for profitable wheat production.
The following crop note applies to field(s): 1, 2, 3, 8, 9
786065 Database Version 1.0 Date Printed: 10-11-2001 Crop Note Page 1

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

The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of
cropland needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient
requirements, and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake.
This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure
or other by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on
each field in order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included.
A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of
the manure generated by the operation. Animal operations that generate liquid waste and utilize waste storage facilities (lagoons or holding ponds) may apply
more or less waste in any given year than is annually generated by the facility. In order to determine whether the plan adequately utilizes the waste produced
by the facility, the storage capacity table included in this plan should be reviewed to ensure that the design capacity of the storage facility is not exceeded
during the planning period.
Depending on the requirements of the crop and the nutrient content of the waste, some nutrients will likely be over or under applied if animal waste is being
utilized. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle and annual soil tests are required if animal waste is being applied. Soil tests should be used
to balance the nutrient application amounts with the realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Nutrient management plans may require that the application of
animal waste be limited so as to prevent over application of phosphorous when excessive levels of this nutrient are detected in a field.

Mortality Management Methods
Indicate which method(s) will be implemented.
When selecting multiple methods indicate a primary versus secondary option.
Methods other than those listed must be approved by the State Veterinarian.
Primary Secondary Routine Mortality
El El Burial three feet beneath the surface of the ground within 24 hours of knowledge of animal
death. The burial must be at least 300 feet from any flowing stream or public body of water
(G.S.106-403). The bottom of the burial pit should be at least one foot above the seasonal
high water table. Attach burial location map and plan.
® Landfill at municipal solid waste facility permitted by NC DEQ under GS 15A NCAC
13B .0200.
Rendering at a rendering plant licensed under G.S. 106-168.7.
OElComplete incineration according to 02 NCAC 52C .0102.
El El A composting system approved and permitted by the NC Department of Agriculture & Con-
sumer Services Veterinary Division (attach copy of permit). If compost is distributed off -farm,
additional requirements must be met and a permit is required from NC DEQ.
na
on
In the case of dead poultry only, placing in a disposal pit of a size and design approved by the
NC Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services (G.S. 106-549.70).
Any method which, in the professional opinioneof the State Veterinarian, would make possible
the salvage of part of a dead animal's value without endangering human or animal health.
(Written approval by the State Veterinarian must be attached).
Mass Mortality Plan
Mass mortality plans are required for farms covered by an NPDES permit. These plans are
also recommended for all animal operations. This plan outlines farm -specific mortality man-
agement methods to be used for mass mortality. The NCDA&CS Veterinary Division sup-
ports a variety of emergency mortality disposal options; contact the Division for guidance.
• A catastrophic mortality disposal plan is part of the facility's CAWMP and is activated
when numbers of dead animals exceed normal mortality rates as specified by the State
Veterinarian.
• Burial must be,.done in accordance with NC General Statutes and NCDA&CS Veterinary
Division regulations and guidance.
• Mass burial sites are subject to additional permit conditions (refer to facility's animal
waste management system permit).
• In the event of imminent threat of a disease emergency, the State Veterinarian may enact
additional temporary procedures or measures for disposal according to G.S. 106-399.4.

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 scafe 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.

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 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

Lagoon surface —look for:
1. undesirable vegetative growth
2. floating or lodged debris
Embankment —look for:
1. settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes
2. side slope stability —slumps or bulges
3. wet or damp areas on the back slope
4. erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result of wave action
5. rodent damage
Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong
winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon dam.
A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action. If
wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffles in the lagoon may be
used to reduce the wave impacts.
Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam. If your lagoon has
any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with design and
construction of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary fix if there is a threat
of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the
technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious
undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless
recommended by an appropriate technical expert.
Transfer Pumps ---check for proper operation of:
1. recycling pumps
2. irrigation pumps
Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or grinding
noise, or a large amount of vibration, may indicate that the pump is in need or repair or
replacement.
NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that you
are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform your pumping
system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This will allow some
safety time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly full lagoon is not the time
to think about switching, repairing , or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is full,
your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an inventory of spare
parts or pumps.
Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface
drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets,
and parking lot runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste
treatment or storage structures. The only water that should be
coming from your lagoon is that which comes from your flushing
(washing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon directly.
You should inspect your diversion system for the following:
1. adequate vegetation
2. diversion capacity
3. ridge berm height

Identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system
during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to
determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts.
You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then
record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This will
give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount
(you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in
planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may
have an inflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the
lagoon from the surrounding land.
Lagoon Operation
Startup:
1. Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil
surfaces to avoid erosion.
2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before
waste loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes.
3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender on the
end of the pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial
filling or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of
the lining.
4. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize
bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather).
5. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a 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 line at the rate of 1 pound per :300 cubic feet of
lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid
pH is between 7.5 and 8.0.
7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate
biological activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is recommended
if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm
season.
Loading:
The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the better the
lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily are
optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained
and recharged each day, also work well.

Practice water conservation —minimize building water usage and
spillage from leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through
proper maintenance and water conservation.
Minimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This
will reduce the amount of solids entering the lagoon
Management:
Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and
the full temporary storage level.
Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the
minimum liquid level and the maximum liquid lever (Figure 2-1).
Start irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring based on
nutrient requirements and soil moisture so that temporary storage
will be maximized for the summer thunderstorm season. Similarly,
irrigate in the late summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon
storage for the winter.
The lagoon liquid level Should never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest
point of the dam or embankment.
Do not pump the lagoon liquid level lower that the permanent storage
level unless you are removing sludge.
Locate float pump intakes approximately 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
minimizing feed wastage and spillage.
Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will:
have more nutrients,
have more odor, and
require more land to properly use the nutrients.
Removal techniques:
Hire a custom applicator.
• Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper -agitator impeller
pump through large -bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland;
and soil incorporate.
▪ Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; mix remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator; haul
and spread onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; dredge sludge from lagoon with dragline or sludge barge; berm
an area beside lagoon to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back
into lagoon; allow sludge to dewater; haul and spread with manure spreader
onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste
constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different
nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields will be
limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field and crop
requirement. Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3.
When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage. Close
attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner remains
intact. If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should
stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can be
removed without liner injury. If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as
possible.
Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and heavy metal content
than liquid. Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus
and metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of
erosion. Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil -test phosphores, it
should be applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other
wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value.
The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site.
Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which
could increase the concern of neighbors.

Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure
Lagoon failures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure. Types
of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of the
dam. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for
ensuring structure safety. Items which.may lead to lagoon failures include:
Modification of the lagoon structure —an example is the placement of a pipe
in the dam without proper design and construction. (Consult an expert in
lagoon design before placing any pipes in dams.)
Lagoon liquid levels —high levels are a safety risk.
Failure to inspect and maintain the dam.
Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon.
Liner integrity --protect from inlet pipe scouring, damage during sludge
removal, or rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level 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.

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

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