The Wa,teUtilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the number ul acres of
cropland needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields ofthe 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 ofthe 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.

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.

jik The following Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization table provides an estimate ofthe 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 ofthe effluent. At
clean out, this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases, the
priority nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since
nutrient levels are generally very high, application of sludge must be carefully applied.
Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray fields should not be
used for sludge application. If this is not possible, care should 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 ofthe number of days of storage
capacity available at the end of each month ofthe 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 ofthe facility. Ifthe available storage capacity is greater than the design storage
capacity, this indicates that the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated.
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
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 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 drift
from the land application field.
b. 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).
374333 Database Version 4.1 Date Printed: 7/25/2017 Specification Page 1

riLN
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.
•
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and
public right-of-ways.
374333 Database Version 4.1 Date Printed: 7/25/2017 Specification Page 2

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
frees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where
considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and
accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for
evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge.
18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the
owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan"
which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, and
erosion.
19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected
on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular
maintenance checklist should be kept on site.
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other
crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on
crops for direct human consumption, it should only be applied pre -plant
with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom
elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste
treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level
between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum
storage volume for waste storage ponds.
374333 Database Version 4.1 Date Printed: 7/25/2017 Specification Page 3

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 five
(5) years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina
regulations.

Crop Notes
. The following crop note applies to field(s): u2
Bermudagrass Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, Poorly Drained to Somewhat Poorly Drained.
Adaptation: Effective artificial drainage MUST be in place to achieve Realistic Yield Expectations
provided for these soils.
In the Coastal Plain, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. 1 to Mar. 31. Cover sprigs 1" to 3"
deep (1.5" optimal). Sprigs should be planted quickly after digging and not allowed to dry in sun and
wind. For Coastal and Tifton 78 plant at least 10 bu/ac in 3' rows, spaced 2' to 3' in the row. Generally a
rate of 30 bu/ac is satisfactory to produce full groundcover in one or two years under good growing
conditions. Tifton 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bu/ac in 1.5' to 2' rows spaced 1' to 1.5' in row.
For broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus,
potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 100 lb/ac N in
the establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply 180 to 240
lb/ac N annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts.
Reduce N rates by 25%.for grazing. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization
of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for more information or consult your regional agronomist or
extension agent for assistance.
The following crop note applies to field(s): u2
Small Grain: CP, Mineral Soil, low -leachable
In the Coastal Plain, oats and barley should be planted from October 15-October 30; and rye from
October 15-November 20. For barley, plant 22 seed/drill row foot 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. Oats should be planted at 2 bushels/acre and
rye at 1-1 1/2 bushels/acre. Plant all these small grains at 1-1 1/2" deep. Adequate depth control 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 can also be applied at
this time. The remaining N should be applied during the months of February -March.

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 user
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 subsequent) the
application uniformity. For example, operating the system with excessive pressure
results in smaller droplets, greater potential for daft:, and accelerates wearofthe:
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. P
For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment -on a regular basis to.
ensure proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at- leasr once every
three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at
several Locations in the application area. Any number of containers can be used to.
collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best -because
they already have a graduated scale from which to read the application amount
without having to perform additional calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets,.
jars, or anything with a uniform opening and cross-section can be used provided the liquid collected can be easily transferred to a scaled container for measuring.
For stationary sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly
throughout -the application area arseveral distances from sprinklers.
For travelin
guns, ns, sprinklers should be located along a transect perpendicular to the d Corr
opull. 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. 0n 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
tmportant to manage levels so that you do not have problems during extended, rainyand
wet Periods-
Maximum/ storage receiving crop is capacity Csuch as should be available in the lagoon for periods when: the
wintertime for bermudagrass) or when thereare
extender: rainy spells such as the thunderstorm season in the summertime.. This mi
that at the first signs of plant growth in the later winter/early spring, irrigation
acconratgtav
a.farnt waste management plan should be done whenever the land is dry enough tor.
receivelagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in thelagoon- fortanewet
periods- In the late summerleady fall the lagoon should be pumped. dowrr to thelos
marlaer(see Figure 2-1) to allow forwinterstoiagm Every effort should bemadetor
mainraur the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as long as the weather and.wasie:
uttlii4 plan will allow it.
Waiting until
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 avioiadomof -
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 f� 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 near
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. yearand
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 waxer. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are Wig*
the. waste
Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial fillingof
the -lagoon and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. Items to -be
checked should include, as a minimum, the following:
WasteIn!et Pipes, f Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes--lookfor«

3. accumulation of salts or minerals
4. overall condition of pipes

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 yourlagoon and other waste~
treatment or storage structures. The only wawa- that should.be

3. ridge berm height-

Tdentifed problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your systems
dui or immediately following a. heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to
define proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts.
You. should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and them
record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the ram (assumes there is no pumping). This:wilt
giveyou. an idea of how much yourlagoon level will rise with a. certain rainfall amount

L. Immediately afterconstruction establish a. complete sod. cover on bare soar
surfaces to avoid erosion.
2:. Fill new lagoon design treatment volurne 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 extenderon the
end of the pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during iaitiaL
filling or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid. erosioa off
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.healthr
working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25percent of the•fulL]agoort
liquid volume. This seeding should occour at least two weeks priorto the
addition of wastewater.
6_ Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH- If the pff falls below
7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of 1 pound per 1000 cubic:feetof
lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above ?.0. Optimum lagoon liquid
pH is between 7.5 and.8.0.
7: A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessiveodor signals inadequate

if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm
season.

Rate:oflagoon sludge buildup can be reduced. by:

P"
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:
Sire a custom applicator.
Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a. chopper-agitatorimpeller
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 applicc azor taut
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:
constituenis just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different
nutz ienr and metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields wilibe~
limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to thatfieldandcrop•
requirement. Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter3.
When removing sludge, you mustalso pay attention to the Liner to prevent damage: (dose:
attention: by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon linerremains.
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 car be
removed without liner injury. If the liner is damaged it ;rust 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 shouldprobably be applied to Iand. with low phosphorus:
andraetaLlevels, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chanced'
erosion-_ Note thataf the sludge is applied to fields with very high- soil -test phosphorm.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 nutrienrvalue.
The application of sludge will increase the amount of odorat. the: waste application-sitm.
