Box 856 Warsaw, NC 28398 The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to -prevent pollution of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer .required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to .be .applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safemanner: 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. O. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential forpollution, the waste should be applied to agrowing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. 1 of 8 tie This plan is based on the waste application method sham above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed -to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. In sans cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be a€i. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accon changing waste analysis content and crop type. -Lime must be applied to maintain pH in D* eptknum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plateff calked out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2HH .0217 adopted by the Envliarmarital Management Commission. AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCEDPER.

APPLICATION OF WASTE SY IRRIGATION: The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intakes rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the avaitabte -water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation -nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. if surface in luetiun is the method of -larrd application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and am:mints of i db ogee r -shown in the tables may make this plan -invalid. *This Is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied, in many situations, the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions. Your facility is designed for >180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed mate average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm. It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment Is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN SHIil. i 1 OF 2 `''this iagoen is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) and i-80 days of temporary -storage. The time required for the planned 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 18e clays storage fer; (1) waste from animals and (2) excess rainfall after evaporation. Also included is storage for the 25 year - 24 hour store 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 ;: s+e a factor to .consider in an annual pumping cycle, -but this storage Volume must always be available. maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin pumping and this is usually the outlet bilding(s). If the outlet pipe is not begin pumping, a permanent marker must to indicate whets pumping should begin. to. stop pumping tomaintain 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 invert of pipe(s) from installed at the elevation to be installed at this elevation An elevation must be established 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. following items are to be carried out: It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre-- rged 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 shneld be covered with effluent at all time. 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. 3. Begin temporary storage pump --curt of the lagoon when fluid level reaches the elevation 101.0 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump - out when the fluid level r-eaches -elevation 988.9 .

M00202040238 SHEET 1 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, lags, stumps, roots, brush, boulders,sod -and rubbish. Satisfactory Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The topsoil from the lagoon and pad area should be stripped and stockpiled for use an 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. eq_u-iprexnt -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 THELINER 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 jurisdiction of the NC Dam Safety Law. The height is defined as the difference in elevation 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 1.5 ft. NOT LINERS (PARTIAL OR FULL) ARE REQUIRED WHEN THE ATTACHED SOILS INVESTIGATION REPORT SO INDICATES OR WHEN UNSUITABLE MATERI-AL IS ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRUCTION. A TYPICAL CROSS SECTION O-F THE LINER I5 INCLUDED IN THE DESIGN WHEN LINERS ARE REQUIRED BY THE SOILS REPORT. When 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 lie -- CL,SC,CH). REFER TO THE SOILS INVESTIGATION INFORMATION IN THE PLANS FOR SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS. MO020204O239 SHEET 2 OF 2 Soil liner material shall come f•rom.an approved borrow area. The mini -mum 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 dur.n placement of the liner. The moisture content of the liner material shall not be less than optimum water content during placement. 5`he' maximum water content •relates to the soil material being too wet -f efficient use of hauling equipment and proper compaction. Proper ompaction of the liner includes placement in 9 inch lifts and c Mpacted to at least 90 percent of the maximum ASTM D698 Dry Unit Weight of the liner material. When smooth or hard, the previous lift ...shall be scarified and moistened as needed before placement of the 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 seq :cence of equipment t's-e and the roasting 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 dissipata•rfrocks) 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„ 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 seedingspecifications. 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 D AIN'S W hen ti3.e drains are encounter-ed, 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 backfiiled and compacted with good material such as S C, CL H or CM. -MOO202O4O240 SEEDING SPECIFICATIONS AREA TO BE SEEDED: 2.5 ACRES USE THE SEED MIXTURE INDICATED AS FOLLOWS: 150.0 LBS.

Signatt of Farm Owner Ma er Date 3 - D-1 - ka) Signature ofTechnlcal 5peciati r Date System Calibration information presented in manufacturer's ,charts are based on average •operation conditions with relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application rates change over time as equipment gets older and components wear. In particular, pump wear tends to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use, nozzle wear results in an increase in the nozzle opening which will increase the discharge rate while decreasing the wetted diameter. You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the design will alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently the application uniformity. For example, operating the system with excessive pressure results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the sprinkler nozzle. Clogging of nozzles can result in pressure increase. Plugged intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure. Operating below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application uniformity. For the above reason, you should calibrate your equiprrrent 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 theyalready 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 transact 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 -nonunifornaity of the application. On a windless day, variation between containers of more than 30 percent is cause for concern. You should contact your irrigation dealer or technical specialist for assistance. *Reprinted for Certification Training- for Operations .oMalmo! Waste Management Systems Manual t OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN Proper lagoon management should be a year-round priority. It is especially important to manage levels so that you do not .have problems during extended rainy and wet periods. Maximum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the receiving crop is dormant (such as wintertime for bermudagrass) or when there are extended rainy spells such as a thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means that at the first sign of plant growth in the later winter ./ early spring, irrigation according to a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the land in dry enough to receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet periods. In the late summer / early fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the low marker (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage. Every effort should be made to maintain the lagoon close to the .minimum liquid level as long as the weather and waste utilization plan will allow it. Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before starting to irrigated does not .leave room for storing excess water during extended wet periods. Overflow from the lagoon for any reason except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of state law and subject to penalty action. The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following: • Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam. Fescue or common bermudagrass are the most common vegetative covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year, if needed, to maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fertilized applied should be based on a soils test, but in the event that 11 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 2 Lagoon surface -- look for: 1. undesirable vegetative -growth 2. floating or -lodged debris Embankment — look for. 1. settlement, cracking, or "fug" holes 2. side slope stability — slumps or bulges 3. wet or damp areas on the back slope 4. erosion due to lack or vegetation or as a result of wave action 5. rodent damage Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon dam. A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action. if wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffles in the lagoon may be used to reduce the wave impacts. Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam. If your lagoon has any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with design and construction of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary fix if there is a threat of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless recommended by an appropriate technical expert. Transfer Pumps -- check for proper operation of: 1. recycling pumps 2. irrigation pumps Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or grinding noise, or a large amount of vibration, may indicate that the pump is in need of repair or replacement. NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that you are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform your pumping system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This will allow some safety time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly full lagoon is not the time to think about switching, repairing, or borrowing pumps. Probably, .if your lagoon is full, your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an inventory of spare parts or pumps. • Surface water diversion features are designed to carry 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 3 Identified problems should be corrected promptly. it is advisable to inspect your system during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts. You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This will give you an idea of how much your .lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount (you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in planning irrigation applications and storage. if your lagoon rises excessively, you may have an overflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the lagoon from the surrounding land. Lagoon Operation Startup: 1. immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil surfaces to avoid erosion. 2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before waste loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes. 3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender on the end of the pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial filling or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of the lining. 4. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather). 5. it is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full lagoon -liquid volume. This seeding should occur at least two weeks prior to the addition of wastewater. 6. Maintain .a .periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below 7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of 1 pound per 1000 cubic feet of lagoon liquid volume until the pH -rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid pH is between 7.5 and 8.0. 7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate biological activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is recommended if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm season. Loading: The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the better the lagoon will function. Hush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily are optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained and recharged each day, also work well. 4 • Practice water conservation --- minimize building water usage and spillage from leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through proper maintenance and water conservation. • Minimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This will reduce the amount of solids entering the lagoon. Management • Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and the full temporary storage level. • Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the minimum liquid level and the maximum liquid level. (Figure 2-1). • Start irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring based on nutrient requirements and soil moisture so that temporary storage will be maximized for the summer thunderstorm season. Similarly, irrigate .in the late summer / early fall to provide maximum lagoon storage for the winter. • The lagoon liquid level should never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest point of the dam or embankment. • Don not pump the lagoon liquid level lower than the permanent storage level unless you are removing sludge. • Locate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid surface and as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible. • Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-stemmed forage or vegetation, molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon. • Frequently remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement .houses or wherever they are installed. • Maintain strict vegetation, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges. • Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embankment. • Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is full or before it fills 50 percent of the permanent storage volume. • if animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility of a pollutant discharge. Sludge Removal: Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by: 5 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. 7 EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN PHONE NUMBERS DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY (DWQ) EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SERVICES (EMS) SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION 'DISTRICT (SWCD) NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION SERVICE (NRCS) COOPERATIVE EXTENSION SERVICE (CES) alb -19tr -IA iS - qtb_ 3.46- ata0 alto -- Qc1Ls- at1.0 ato-.2q(Q- a.ty3 This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking, overflowing or running off site. You should not wait until wastes reach surface waters or leave your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be posted in an accessible location for all employees at the facility. The following are some action items you should take. 1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be possible. Suggested responses to some possible problems are listed below. A. Lagoon overflow - possible solutions are: a) Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam. b) Rump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate. c) Stop all flow to the lagoon immediately. d) Call a pumping contractor. e) Make sure no surface water is entering .lagoon. S. Runoff from waste application field -actions include: a) immediately stop waste application. b) Create a temporary diversion to contain waste. c) lnupurate waste to reduce runoff. d) -Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s) that cause the runoff. e) Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred. C. Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinklers - actioninclude: a) Stop recycle pump. b) Stop irrigation pump. c) Close valves to eliminate further discharge. d) Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps. D. Leakage from flush systems, houses, solid separators - action include: a) Stop recycle pump. b) Stop irrigation pump. c) Make sure siphon occurs. d) Stop all flow in the house, flush systems, or solid separators. E. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed to flowing teaks - possible action: a) Dig a small sump or ditch from the embankment to catch all seepage, put in a submersible pump, and pump back to Lagoon. b) if holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and Ertl holes and compact with a day type soil. c) Have a.professional evaluate the condition of the side walls and the lagoon bottom as soon as possible. 8 2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages. a. Did the waste reach surface waters? b. Approximately bow much was released and for what duration? c. Any damage notes, such as employee injury, fish kills, or property damage? d. Did the spill leave the property? e. Does the spill have the potential to reach surface waters? f.
