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

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

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

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff,
drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge
during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste that
reaches surface water is prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer
either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to
properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land
to properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an
agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity,
allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the
responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to secure
an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change
in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of
application, receiving crop type, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen
needs for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available
moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of
management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of
applications for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per
acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5
tons per acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided
grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see
USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter
Strips).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste
application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drif
from the land application field.

6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding,
waste will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland.
When waste is applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the
waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur
during a season prone to flooding (see "Weather and Climate in
North Carolina" for guidance).
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil
infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface
waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site
during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor
and flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall
events, or when the soil surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a
manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would
inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste
should also be considered.
10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring
planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching.
Waste/nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a
minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released
nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to
planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall
comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto
which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine
farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary
and canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited
on or after October 1, 1995, shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to
perennial waters.
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings .
other than those owned by the landowner.
635621 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 03-01-2002 Specification Page 2 of 4
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and
public right-of-ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters,
drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying.
Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided
the fields have been approved as a land application site by a
"technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed
waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other
grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a
manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers,
toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste
management system.
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on
all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.).
Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation.
Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are
limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should
be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be
inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge.
18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated,
the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure
plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge,
pollution, and erosion.
19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be
inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills.
A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site.
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and
other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal
waste is used on crops for direct human consumption, it should only
be applied pre -plant with no further applications of animal waste
during the crop season.
635621 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 03-01-2002 Specification Page 3 of 4
21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom
elevations of the temporary storage(pumping
treatment lagoons. Pumping shall band to dmaintain all waste
level between the markers. A marker will be required to ma k the liquid
maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds.
22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be
tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are
applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining nutrient, unless other
restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients,
resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc
and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop
sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH
shall be adjusted and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil
and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years.
Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a
minimum of three years. Waste application records for all other
waste shall be maintained for a minimum of five years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North
Carolina regulations.

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.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
SHEET 1 OF 2
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment
(permanent) and
180 days of temporary storage. The time required forotheeplanned
fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be reached may vary
due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount
of fresh water added to the system.
The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for:
(1) waste from animals and (2) excess rainfall after evaporation. 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 year to year, but excess
rainfall will vary from year to 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
building(s). 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
elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as
weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without
runoff or leaching.
Land application of
method of disposal.
center pivot, guns,
taken when applying
waste water is recognized as an acceptable
Methods of application include solid set,
and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be
waste to prevent damage to crops.
The following items are to be carried out:
1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre -
charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during
start-up. Pre -charging reduces the concentration of the initial
waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be
covered with effluent at all times. When precharging is complete,
flush buildings with recycled 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.
