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 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 beatleast one foot above the seasonal
high water table. Attach burial location map and plan.
II El 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.-
Complete incineration according to 02 NCAC.52C .0102.
El CI 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.
CI El 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).
El El Any method which, in the professional opinion of 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.

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.
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.

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 shouldbe 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
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 achange 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.
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).
210403 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 05-10-2002 Specification Page 1 of 4

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.
210403 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 05-10-2002 Specification Page 2 of 4

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.
210403 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 05-10-2002 Specification Page 3 of 4

21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom
elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste
treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level
between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum
storage volume for waste storage ponds.
22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested
at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen
shall be the rate -determining 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.

V. GENERAL CONDITIONS
1. The issuance of a COC to operate under this General Permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the
responsibility for compliance with all applicable surface water, wetlands, groundwater and air
quality standards or for damages to surface waters, wetlands or groundwaters resulting from the
animal operation.
2. The maximum waste level .in lagoons/storage ponds shall not exceed that specified in the
facility's CAWMP. At a minimum, maximum waste level for lagoons/storage ponds must not
J exceed the level that provides adequate storage to contain the 25-year, 24-hour storm event plus
an additional one (1) foot of structural freeboard except that there shall be no violation of this
l °{ condition if: (a) there isa storm event more severe than a 25-year, 24-hour event, (b) the
Permittee is in compliance with its CAWMP, and (c) there is at least one (1) foot of structural
freeboard.
In addition to the above requirements, for new and expanding farms with lagoon and storage pond
designs completed after September 1, 1996, storage must also be provided for the heavy rainfall
factor for the lagoons/storage pond. In case of lagoons/storage ponds in series that are gravity
fed, the 25-year, 24-hour storm event and/or the heavy rainfall factor storage requirement for the
system may be designed into the lowest lagoon/storage pond in the system. However, adequate
freeboard must be designed into the upper lagoons/storage ponds to allow sufficient storage to
prevent the waste level from rising into the structural freeboard while the storm water is draining
into the lowest structure in the system.
3. Any containment basin, such as a lagoon or a storage pond, used for waste management shall
continue to be subject to the conditions and requirements of this General Permit until properly
closed. When the containment basin is properly closed in accordance with the NRCS NC
Conservation Practice Standard No. 360 "Closure of Waste Impoundments," February 2008 or
any subsequent amendment, the containment basin shall not be subject to the requirements of this
General Permit. The Permittee must submit a letter to the Division to request rescission of the
COC by providing documentation of closure of all containment basins.

of the Animal Waste Storage Pond and Lagoon Closure Report Form to the address identified on
the form within fifteen (15) days of completion of closure.
4. This General Permit allows for the distribution of up to four (4) cubic yards of manure per visit to
individuals for personal use., The maximum distribution of manure per individual for personal
use is ten (10) cubic yards per year. The Permittee must provide the recipient(s) with information
on the nutrient content of the manure. Distribution of greater quantities must be to individuals or
businesses permitted to distribute the waste, or to be land applied to sites identified in the
Permittee's CAWMP.
The Permittee must inform the recipient(s) of his/her responsibilities to properly manage the land
application of manure. Record keeping for the distribution of manure up to four (4) cubic yards
per visit or ten (10) cubic yards per year to individuals for personal use is not required.
5. The annual permit fee shall be paid by the Permittee within thirty (30) days after being billed by
the Division. Failure to pay the fee accordingly constitutes grounds for revocation of its COC to
operate under this General Permit.
6. Failure of the Permittee to maintain, in full force and effect, lessee and landowner agreements,
which are required in the CAWMP, shall constitute grounds for revocation of its COC to operate
under this General Permit.

7. A COC to operate under this General Permit is not transferable. In the event there is a desire for
the facility to change ownership, or there is a name change of the Permittee, a Notification of
Change of Ownership form must be submitted to the Division, including documentation from the
parties involved and other supporting materials as may be appropriate. This request shall be
submitted within sixty (60) days of change of ownership. The request will be considered on its
merits and may or may not be approved.
8. A COC to operate under this General Permit is effective only with respect to the nature and
volume of wastes described in the application and other supporting data. The Permittee shall
notify the Division immediately of any applicable information not provided in the permit
application.
Any proposed modification to an animal waste management system including the installation of
lagoon covers shall require approval from the Division prior to construction.
9. If the Permittee wishes to continue an activity regulated by this General Permit after the
expiration date of this General Permit, the Permittee must apply for and obtain a new COC.
Renewal applications must be filed at least 180 calendar days prior to the expiration of the
General Permit.
10. The issuance of a COC to operate under this General Permit does not prohibit the Division from
reopening and modifying the General Permit or COC, revoking and reissuing the General Permit
or COC, or terminating the General Permit or COC as allowed by the appropriate laws, rules, and
regulations.
11. The Director may require any person, otherwise eligible for coverage under this General Permit
to apply for an individual permit by notifying that person that an application is required.
12. The Groundwater Compliance Boundary is established by 15A NCAC 2L .0102 and 15A NCAC
2T .0103. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at or beyond the Compliance
Boundary is subject to the requirements of 15A NCAC 2L and the Division in addition to the
penalty provisions applicable under the North Carolina General Statutes.
13. Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit
documentation to the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to
restocking of the facility.
VI. PENALTIES
1. Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this General Permit; the facility'.s.
COC; the facility's CAWMP; and/or applicable state law; may subject the Permittee to an
enforcement action by the Division including but not limited to the modification of the animal
waste management system, civil penalties, criminal penalties and injunctive relief.
2. The Permittee must comply with all conditions of this General Permit. Any permit
noncompliance constitutes a violation of state law and is grounds for enforcement action;, for
permit coverage termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification; or denial of a permit
coverage renewal application.
3. It shall not be a defense for a Permittee in an enforcement action to claim that it would have been
necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the.
conditions of this General Permit.
13 March 7, 2014

Permit Number AWG100000
VII. DEFINITIONS
25-year, 24-holm rainfall or storm event means the maximum 24-hour precipitation event with a
probable recurrence interval of once in 25 years, as defined by the National Weather Service in Technical
Paper Number 40, "Rainfall Frequency Atlas of the United States," May 1961, and subsequent
amendments, or equivalent regional or state rainfall probability information developed therefrom.
Agronomic rates means the amount of animal waste and/or other nutrient sources to be applied to lands
as outlined in NRCS NC Conservation Practice Standards No. 590 "Nutrient Management" or as
recommended by the NCDA&CS and the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service at the time of
certification of the Animal Waste Management Plan by the appropriate certified technical specialist.
Amendment to the CAWMP means a change and/or addition to a part(s) of the plan, and requires that the
change and/or addition adhere to current applicable standards. The following are examples of
amendments to the CAWMP:
o In an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or cropping pattern that utilizes 25% or less of the N
generated is considered a plan amendment. Additional acreage needed to facilitate the change in crops
and/or cropping pattern is permissible and considered part of the amendment.
o The addition of winter crops and/or interseeded perennial crops are considered amendments to an
existing CAWMP when the operation does not require additional acreage and/or crops for N
utilization, and does not exceed the 25% criteria stated above.
• When a CAWMP cannot meet N utilization requirements due to land lost to irrigation inefficiency
(useable versus total acres), then the CAWMP may be amended to increase available acreage and/or
change the crop for N utilization. This is the only exception to the 25% N criteria for plan revision.
O Inclusions of emergency action plans, and insect, odor and mortality checklists are considered
CAWMP amendments.
® Including additional acreage for land application beyond what is required in the existing CAWMP is
considered a plan amendment.
Animal feeding operation means a lot or facility (other than an aquatic animal production facility) where
the following conditions are met: (i) animals (other than aquatic animals) have been, are, or will be
stabled or confined and fed or maintained for a total of forty five (45) days or more in any twelve (12)
month period, and (ii) crops, vegetation, forage growth, or post -harvest residues are not sustained in the
normal growing season over any portion of the lot or facility. Two or more animal feeding operations
under common ownership are considered to be a single animal feeding operation if they adjoin each other,
or if they use a common area or system for the disposal of wastes.
Certification means technical specialist certification of the CAWMP in accordance with the requirements
of 15A NCAC 02T .1304. It is unrelated to terms "Annual Certification" as used in Condition III.14 of
this General Permit, and the "No Discharge Certification Option" allowed by the November 2008 EPA
CAFO Rule.
Ditch means any man made channel for the purpose of moving water off a site to the surface waters.
Excessive Ponding means any area of the application field where visible liquid waste is ponded on the
surface of the land application site more than four (4) hours following the application of waste. Excessive
ponding also means any areas where the ponding of waste has resulted in crop failure.
Groundwaters means any subsurface waters, as defined in 15A NCAC 2L .0102.
14 March 7, 2014

Land application means the application of wastewater and/or waste solids onto or incorporation into the
soil.
Major changes to the CAWMP means changes in the number of animals, type of operation (feeder to
finish to wean to feeder), retrofit of a lagoon, installation of a new irrigation system, and similar type
changes. Recertification is only required for major changes to the CAWMP. Major changes to a facility
must first be approved by the Division. The new CAWMP and the certification shall be submitted with a
request that the COC be amended to reflect the changes. The facility may not make the changes until a
new or amended COC has been issued.
Revision to the CAWMP means a change to an entire CAWMP to meet current applicable standards. A
CAWMP must be revised if the operation cannotutilize all N nitrogen generated by the animal production
in accordance with the existing CAWMP, except for the specific conditions noted in the CAWMP
amendment criteria as previously defined. For an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or cropping
pattern that utilizes more than 25% of the N generated by the operation is considered a plan revision. Any
change to an existing CAWMP, whether an amendment or revision, must be signed and dated by both the
producer and a technical specialist for the new CAWMP to be valid. A revision of the CAWMP doe. h6f
require recertification.
State Waters means all surface waters, wetlands, groundwaters and waters of the United States located in
the State.
Surface Waters means any stream, river, brook, swamp, lake, sound, tidal estuary, bay, creek, reservoir,
waterway, or other surface body or surface accumulation of water; whether public or private, or natural or..
artificial, that is contained in, flows through, or borders upon any portion of the State of North Carolina,.
including any portion of the Atlantic Ocean over which the State has jurisdiction as well as any additional
Waters of the United States which are located in the State.
Waste means manure, animal waste, process wastewater and/or sludge generated at an animal feeding
operation.
Wetlands means areas that are inundated or saturated by an accumulation of surface or groundwater at: as
frequency and duration sufficient to support, and under normal circumstances do support a prevalence' of

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN FOR SWINE WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Producer: CLAI-161-6- ))
The purpose of this plan is to provide guidelines for carrying out the
routine operation and maintenance work needed to keep this swine waste
management system functioning as planned. Routine maintenance is
considered to be normal good care of the system. Good maintenance adds
to beauty, usefulness, and permanence.
A. Maintenance
The routine maintenance of the lagoon involves the following:
1. Maintenance of a vegetative cover on the embankment top and side
slopes: ti' PM\ 9.AsS t=eSCuE is being
established on these areas. Beginning in.19g1 and each year
thereafter, the embankment should be fertilized with 800.pounds
of 10-10-10 per acre to maintain a vigorous stand.
2. Control of brush and trees on the embankment. This may be done
by mowing, spraying, or chopping, or a combination of all three.
This will need to be done at least once each year and possibly
twice in years favorable to heavy growth of vegetation.
Maintenance inspections of the lagoon should be made during the
initial filling of the lagoon and at least annually. Items to be
checked should include, as a minimum, the following:
1. Waste Inlet Pipes, Overflow Pipes
a. condition of pipes
(1) separation of joints
(2) cracks or breaks
2. Pool Area
a. undesirable vegetative growth
b. floating or lodged debris
3. Embankment
a. settlement, cracking or "jug" holes
b. side slope stability - slumps or bulges
c. erosion and rodent damage
4. Transfer Pump

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN FOR SWINE WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
B. Operation
Your animal waste management facility was designed for a total of
Obh sows (F-"ezbEte, to FiwiS'-/) . The lagoon contains both
permanent and temporary storage. The permanent storage is not to be
pumped in order to ensure that anaerobic action will occur. The
design includes permanent storage of one cubic foot per pound of
steady state live weight.
The temporary storage portion of the lagoon includes capacity for the
volume of waste produced over 180 days, the amount of rainfall in a
25 year 24 hour storm event, and rainfall in excess of evaporation.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage;
therefore, it will need to be pumped every six months. Begin pump -
out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches elevation 47,4 as marked
by 'permanent markers. Stop pump -out when the fluid level reaches
elevation
The attached waste management plan should be followed. This plan
recommends sampling and testing of waste (see Attachment B) before
land application. The waste material should be analyzed before each
application cycle to determine its nutrient content. A soil test of
the area of application should be made annually to insure the waste
is applied as reasonably and practically possible to recommended
rates.
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.
The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants
into waters of the United States. The Department of Environment,
Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environmental Management,
has the responsibility for enforcing this law.

Emergency Action Plan
This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operations 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 can happen at any
time.
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:
• add soil to the berm to increase the elevation of the dam
• pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate
• stop all additional flow to the lagoon (waterers)
• call a pumping contractor
• make sure no surface water is entering the lagoon
Note: These activities should be started when your lagoon level has exceeded the temporary storage level.
b) Runoff from waste application field:
• immediately stop waste application
• create a temporary diversion or berm to contain the waste on the field
• incorporate waste to reduce further runoff
c) Leaking from the waste distribution system:
• pipes and sprinklers:
O stop recycle (flushing system) pump
O stop irrigation pump
30 close valves to eliminate further discharge
• separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow
• flush system, houses, solids separators:
O stop recycle (flushing system) pump
O stop irrigation pump
O 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 the lagoon. Often these
leaks:
• dig a small well or ditch to catch all seepage, put in a
into the lagoon
are seepage
submersible
as opposed to flowing
pump, and pump back

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
Note: For permanent repair measures, lagoon problems require the
consultation of an individual experienced in their design and installation.
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 noted, such as employee injury, fish kills, or property damage?
3) Contact appropriate agencies.
