NRCS, NC January, 1998 NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION SERVICE CONSERVATION PRACTICE STANDARD WASTE TREATMENT LAGOON (Number) Code 359 DEFINITION An impoundment made by excavation or earthfill for biological treatment of animal or other agricultural waste. PURPOSE To biologically treat organic waste, reduce pollution, and protect the environment. CONDITIONS WHERE PRACTICE APPLIES This practice applies where: (1) an overall waste management system has been planned; (2) waste generated by agricultural production or processing needs treatment; (3) soils are suitable for retaining the waste or can be sealed; and (4) where livestock are concentrated. This standard establishes the minimum acceptable requirements for design, construction, and operation of waste treatment lagoons. Embankments are limited to hazard 359-1 class (a). This standard does not apply to waste storage ponds or to waste storage structures. CRITERIA Location. The lagoon should be located near the source of waste and as far from neighboring dwellings as practical. If possible, locate the lagoon where prevailing winds will carry odors away from residences and public areas. Runoff from outside drainage areas should not enter the lagoon. The lagoon shall not be located in a flood plain unless it is protected from inundation or damage by a flood event that occurs once every 25 years. LAGOONS FOR SWINE SHALL NOT BE LOCATED IN THE 100- YEAR FLOODPLAIN. Minimum distance from wells and other water sources must be in compliance with state and local ordinances. It is the responsibility of the designer to ensure that current state and local distance requirements are met. The following table shows minimum distances. Conservation practice standards are reviewed "periodically, and updated if needed.

NRCS, NC JANUARY, 1998 Rev. 4 1' The Minimum Distance for Swine Operations is Dictated by General Statute 106 - 801 thru 805 as amended by HB-515 (Applies to swine operations sited on or after 8/27/97). Swine House or Lagoon 359-3. > 1,500 feet from any occupied residence 2,500 feet from any school, hospital, church outdoor recreational facility, national park, historic property, or child care center. 500 feet from any property boundary. 500 feet from any well supplying water to a public water system. 500 feet from any well that supplies water for human consumption on property not owned or controlled by the swine producer. Land Application Site 75 feet from any residential property boundary (Any property with a residence on it) 75 feet from any perennial stream or river other than irrigation ditch or canal. (Note: Waste Treatment Lagoons and Waste Storage Ponds are the same in respect to SB-1080.) Odor Control As a minimum the following will be used to reduce odor on all lagoons: • New or emptied lagoons shall be precharged with a volume of water equal to one-half of the treatment volume before wastes are introduced, so that solids discharged into the lagoon are submerged. • Pipes discharging wastes into the lagoon shall be extended beneath the surface of the lagoon to avoid releasing gases from agitated wastes. • Intake pipes for effluent removal shall be placed in the aerobic layer of liquid approximately 18 inches below the surface. A floating intake may be used. When practicable a dense stand of trees and shrubs strategically placed around lagoons, production facilities, and fields can reduce or redirect winds helping to contain or disperse odors. Emergency Action Plan An Emergency Action Plan shall be prepared for each lagoon. The plan will outline steps to be followed in case of an emergency with the lagoon such as overflow, breaching, leakage, need for emergency land application, etc. As a minimum it will contain the following items for the owner/operator to carry out in the event of an emergency: • Ca11 the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) to report the problem. Include name and phone number of the appropriate regional office. If outside normal business hours, call the N. C. Emergency Management NRCS, NC JANIJARY, 1998 Rev. 4 the swine farm; the county or counties in which the farm is located; and the local health department or departments having jurisdiction over the farm site of that person's intent to construct the swine farm. This notice shall be by certified mail sent to the address on record at the property tax office in the county in which the land is located. Notice to a local health department shall be sent to the local health director. The written notice shall include all of the following: 1. The name and address of the person intending to construct a swine farm. 2. The type of swine farm and the design capacity of the animal waste management system. 3. The name and address of the technical specialist preparing the waste management plan. 4. The address of the local Soil and Water Conservation District Office. S. Information informing the adjoining property owners and the property owners who own property located across a public road, street, or highway from the swine farm that they may submit written comments to the Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Hazard Classification The area downstream of the embankment must be evaluated carefully to determine the impact from a sudden breach of the proposed embankment on both structural and environmental features. This evaluation must consider all existing improvements and those improvements that may reasonably be expected to be made during the useful life of the structure. The results of this examination provide for the proper hazard class of the embankment. Only 359-5 hazard class (a) embankments are to be designed under this standard. See Engineering Notekeeping, Field Office Technical Guide Practice Standard 378 or National Engineering Manual 520.21 for guidance concerning documentation of hazard class determination. Soil and foundation Locate the lagoon on soils of slow to moderate permeability or on soils that can seal through sedimentation and biological action. Avoid gravelly soils and shallow soils over fractured or cavernous rock. A detailed soils investigation with special attention to the water table and seepage potential must be a part of each plan and design. The soils investigation must extend at least two feet below the planned bottom. In the vicinity of the embankment, but not under it, the soils investigation will extend to a depth equal to the height of the embankment or until rock is encountered. When poor foundation conditions are anticipated, the investigation shall extend to the depth determined by the designer. When an embankment is involved samples of the proposed fill material should be obtained and tested. Tests required are'at the discretion of the designer. The test results shall be used to determine the design requirements for the embankment. A minimum of five test pits or 1 per 10,000 ft2 of lagoon bottom is recommended. Liners If rapid self sealing is not probable, special considerations such as mechanical treatment, lining, or other techniques must be considered. A liner, or equivalent sealant, is required in SP, SW, GP, and GW, or other problem soils as NRCS, NC JANUARY, 199E Rev. 4 359-4 Office in Raleigh and ask them to contact DWQ. Give the name of the facility, location and DWQ registration/certification number. • Call 911 or the Sheriff's Department if there is danger to downstream property (residences, road, etc.). Include phone number. • Contact the contractor of owner's choice to begin repair of problem to minimize off -site damage. Include names and phone number(s). • Contact the technical specialist who certified the lagoon (NRCS, Consulting Engineer, etc.). Include phone number. If this specialist is no longer working, contact one who has design approval. A copy of this plan with telephone numbers filled in must be available at each site. It should be posted in a readily accessible location. Site Investigation A detailed site investigation shall be made for each lagoon prior to design. This investigation should include, but not be limited to evaluation of, distance from residences, proximity to the 100-year floodplain, blue line streams, zoning jurisdiction of municipalities, utilities in the construction area, wetlands, available land for disposal, soils, and other environmental factors. Form NC-CPA-17 may be used. When requested by the technical specialist, the owner shall furnish the distance from nearest residences or other private or public use facilities. At the discretion of the technical specialist, a survey by a registered land surveyor may be required to establish the distances. During the site investigation, it must be verified that no subsurface tile lines are present. On sites that are located on cropland or land that has been cropped in the past and is land with soil types that respond to subsurface drainage, an observation trench along the entire length of the embankment shall be constructed to a minimum of five feet in depth. The observation trench may be excavated during the soils investigation phase or during construction. The trench shall have a bottom width adequate to accommodate the equipment used for excavation, backfill, and compaction operations and the side slopes shall be 1:1 or flatter. If any tile lines are present in the area of the embankment, they must be removed for a minimum distance of 15 feet beyond the downstream embankment toe. If a tile line exists above the embankment it shall be rerouted around the lagoon. If wetlands may be involved, contact the Corps of Engineers and/or NRCS for a wetland determination/delineation. If wetlands are involved, a 401 water quality certification and a 404 permit may be needed. Written notice of swine farms Any person who intends to construct a swine fare: whose animal waste management system is subject to a permit shall, after completing a site evaluation and before the farm site is modified, notify all adjoining property owners; all property owners who own property located across a public road, street, or highway from NRCS, NC JANUARY, I99S Rev. 4 359-6 classified according to the Unified Soil Classification System. A liner is also required for most SM soils. A determination as to whether a liner is needed for other soils will be made during the on -site soils investigation prior to the design. If a liner is required and a clay liner is the sealant of choice it will be designed and installed in accordance with NRCS South National Technical. Center (SNTC) Technical Note 716 (Revised September 1993). A qualified construction inspector designated by the designer must be on site during construction as necessary to verify proper liner construction in accordance with Technical Note 716. In the absence of supervision of construction by a qualified inspector, the liner must be tested to verify a maximum hydraulic conductivity of 1.25 x 10-6 cm/sec. (.003 ft/day) Since soils are not always consistent, during construction small areas not evident during the investigation may be found. These areas should be over excavated and lined with clay or other suitable sealant material as specified by the designer. Other sealant or lining techniques should be planned according to industry accepted design, installation, operating procedures appropriate for the selected technique. Waste production Waste treatment lagoons are designed on the basis of 5-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) or volatile solids (VS) loading. Design loading shall be based on the maximum steady state live weight of animals using the iagoon and on the waste produced. Information on waste production is provided in Chapter 4 of the Agricultural Waste Management Field Handbook (AWMFH). The values for waste production and the characteristics of fresh livestock manure given in Table 1 are from the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service and should be used except for specific situations which deviate from normal. It should be noted that the amount of nutrients available for crops is different from the amount produced. See Waste Utilization (633) and Nutrient Management (590) for plant available nutrients and nutrient uptake values by various crops. Site specific data, when available may be used in lieu of the information given in the table. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. NRCS, NC JANUARY, 1998 Rev. 4 359-7 Table 1.

One 1400 Ib. dairy cow requires 2000 ft' of surface area while one finishing hog requires 365 ft2. NRCS, NC JANUARY, 1998 Rev. 4 J ) Mechanically aerated lagoons using floating surface aerator technology for odor control are designed to satisfy 50% of the waste COD based on an oxygen transfer rate of 3 lbs per horsepower -hour and require 1000 ft2. of surface area maximum per horsepower of aeration. Refer to the design procedures provided in the Agricultural Waste Management Field Handbook or to Cooperative Extension Service Research Data. Alternate aeration waste treatment technologies should be planned, installed, and operated according to proper design and operating procedures. Sludge Any anaerobic lagoon will accumulate significant amounts of sludge regardless of the bacterial digestion efficiency. This accumulation of sludge in time will diminish the treatment capacity of the lagoon unless the lagoon is designed with enough storage capacity to avoid having to remove the bottom sludge throughout the life of the lagoon. Table 2 shows the re ulume for slud a acc ulatior. n anaerobic lagoons. The volume of sludge storage required in Table 2 is equal to approximateIY3 years accumulation. Sludge storage is required in the lagoon design. The amount of sludge accumulation shall be calculated and included in the producer's Waste Utilization Plan. The plan will include a statement that sludge should be tested before land application. The Waste Utilization Plan will include the number of acres required for land application of sludge in the future based on current agronomic rates. Waste Storage Volume. The maximum operating level shall be set to provide the designed loading (treatment volume)plus a volume sufficient to store the following: 359-9 1. Manure and waste water' 2. Excess wash water 3. Normal precipitation Iess evaporation on lagoon surface' 4. Solids accumulation2 I Accumulated between periods of drawdown 2For the period between solids or sludge removal Mechanically aerated lagoons are designed on the basis of BOD5 or ultimate BOD loading and on the basis of the equipment manufacturer's performance data for oxygen transfer and mixing. If used for odor control, aeration equipment shall provide a minimum of 0.5 kg (1 lb) of oxygen for each half kilogram (pound) of BOD5 contributed daily. For complete treatment, refer to the design procedures provided in the Agricultural Waste Management Field Handbook. The maximum operating level shall be sufficient distance below any automatic outflow device, pipe or emergency spillway to provide storage for the 25-year, 24-hour precipitation on the lagoon surface plus a heavy rainfall equal to or greater than an additional 25-year, 24-hour storm. The maximum operating level shall be marked with a highly visible marker set in the lagoon. The minimum operating level after drawdown should normally be that level needed for the design loading (treatment volume plus sludge) except when the lagoon is in drawdown to permit sludge removal or addition of dilution water. This level shall be marked with a highly visible marker. Temporary Storage Volume In addition to the required treatment volume, waste treatment lagoons shall be provided with temporary storage. The volume of temporary NRCS, NC JANUARY, 1998 Rev. 4 359-10 storage provided shall be consistent with the planned pumping interval incorporated into the waste utilization plan. In soils with high water tables all temporary storage shall be above the seasonal high water table. A minimum of at least six months temporary storage is recommended except when special management practices or techniques permit otherwise. The minimum volume of temporary storage is the total of the following: With Outside Drainage Area 1. Manure and excess water' 2. Normal precipitation that falls on lagoon surface less evaporation on lagoon surface for time of year which results in greatest storage requirementl. 3. Undiverted runoff from drainage area for normal rainfall during storage period. 4. 25-year, 24-hour precipitation on lagoon surface. 5. Undiverted runoff from 25-year, 24-hour storm from drainage area. Without Outside Drainage Area 1. Manure and excess waterl. 2.

IAccumulated during the period benveen times of excess effluent removal. 2The "Heavy Rain" Factor shall be equal to or greater than the 15-year, 24-hour storm. Note: Additional temporary storage may be provided to meet management goals or regulations. Depth The minimum depth of liquid shall be 6 feet for mechanically aerated and anaerobic lagoons, and 2 feet for aerobic lagoons. The maximum depth for mechanically aerated and anaerobic lagoons is dictated by the site and the equipment. The maximum operating depth for aerobic lagoons shall be 5 ft. Foundation Cutoff (Keyway, Cutoff, or Core Trench) A cutoff of relatively impervious material shall be provided under the embankment if necessary for seepage control. The cutoff shall be located at or upstream from the centerline of the dam. It shall extend up the abutments as required and be deep enough to extend into a relatively impervious layer or provide for a stable embankment when combined with seepage, control. The cutoff trench shall have a bottom width adequate to accommodate the equipment used for excavation, backfiIl, and compaction NRCS. NC JANUARY, 1998 Rev. 4 operations, and the side slopes shall be 1:1 or provision shall be made for protecting the flatter. emergency spillway, if any, from damage. All foundation cutoffs shall be dewatered before backfilling. Bottom and edges The bottom of all lagoons shall be approximately level. The side slopes of all lagoons shall be uniform from top to bottom and shall be stable for existing soil conditions. Scarify the bottom and cut slopes of the lagoon a minimum depth of six inches and compact to decrease the permeability of the soil. Compaction shall be with a sheepsfoot roller or tamping roller. In certain soils a liner will be required. Special consideration must be spelled out in the design. (See page 359-4, Liners) Earth embankment For this standard, the maximum effective height of the dam is 35 feet. The allowance for settlement shall be no less than 5 percent. The side slopes of the settled embankment shall not be less than 3 horizontal to 1 vertical. All slopes must be designed to be stable. The minimum elevation of the top of the settled embankment shall be one foot above the maximum design water surface in the lagoon. The minimum top width for embankments are shown in the following table. If the. embankment top is to be used as a public road, the minimum width shall be 16 feet for one-way traffic and 26 feet for two-way traffic. Guardrails or other safety measures shall be used where necessary and shall meet the requirements of the responsible road authority When the embankment top is used as a road, 359-11 Total height of Embankment (ft) Minimum Top Width (ft) up to 20 10 20 to 24 12 24 to 34 14 35 15 The design height of the embankment shall be increased by the amount needed to insure that the design top elevation will be maintained after all settlement has taken place. Compaction of the fill material shall be in accordance with the specified design requirements for compaction and moisture content. As a minimum compaction shall be equivalent to, or better than, the following: 1). layers of fill material shall not exceed 9 inches in thickness before compaction, 2). the routing of the hauling and spreading equipment over the fill must be in such a manner that every point on the surface of each layer of fill will be traversed by not less than one tread track of the loaded equipment traveling in a direction parallel to the main axis of the fill. 3). Clayey soils shall be compacted with a "sheepsfoot" or tamping roller.(See SNTC Technical Note 716 for guidance on compaction.) A qualified inspector as designated by the designer must be on site during construction as necessary to verify proper construction. Testing will be required as deemed necessary by the inspector and/or designer. When testing is required the owner will be responsible for furnishing test results and certification that the fill meets the design NRCS, NC JANUARY, 1998 Rev. 4 359-12 requirements. Any tests and certification should be performed by a certified laboratory. If needed to protect the face of the embankment, special measures, such as berms, rock riprap, sand -gravel, soil cement, or special vegetation shall be provided (TR-56 and TR- . /9 Inlet If freezing is not a problem, an open inlet, such as a concrete channel, may be used. If freezing is a problem, the inlet shall consist of a pipe having a minimum diameter of 6 inches and a minimum slope of 1 percent, except that a minimum diameter of 4 inches may be used for milking center waste. The inlet pipe shall terminate a sufficient distance from the shoreline to insure good distribution. It should be far enough below the surface to avoid freezing or be provided with other protective measures. Access should be provided to the pipe for rodding in case of blockage. Inlet Pipes Pipes that convey waste from the houses to the lagoon shall be designed and installed in a manner that will prevent erosion of the lagoon side slope. This will be accomplished by extending the pipe beyond the slope of the lagoon, and discharging the waste below the surface. Other Pipes Pipes such as those that are used for recycling effluent to use as flush water and irrigation intakes shall be placed as far from the inlet pipes as possible in order to provide a cleaner effluent for flushing and to reduce odors when irrigating on land. When these pipes are to be placed through the embankment the location and method of installation shall be approved by the designer of the embankment or a technical specialist designated by the soil and water conservation commission to design and approve waste treatment lagoons. Installation shall be certified by the technical specialist. Emergency Spillways Lagoons with an outside drainage area having a maximum design liquid level of 3 feet or more above natural ground shall be provided with an emergency spillway. The crest of the emergency spillway shall be located at the same elevation as the top of the 25-year, 24-hour storm storage. The emergency spillway shall be placed in undisturbed soil when possible. When it must be placed in fill material, precautions shall be taken to insure the integrity of the structure. The emergency spillway shall pass a 25-year, 24-hour storm without over topping the embankment. There shall be a minimum of 1 foot of freeboard above the designed depth of flow in the emergency spillway. Where lagoons empty into waste storage ponds or secondary lagoons and the liquid level is positively controlled by an adequately sized overflow pipe, no emergency spillway is required for the primary lagoon. All lagoons with 1 million cubic feet of Waste Storage Volume (volume below maximum elevation for pump ON) shall have an emergency spillway. Lagoons without an outside drainage area and less than I million cubic ft. of Waste Storage Volume are not required to have an emergency spillway; however, the landowner shall be given the option to install an emergency spillway to prevent catastrophic occurrences. NRCS. NC 1ANLARY, 1998 Rev. 4 J Other Outlets Where excess effluent is not to be removed from the lagoon by pumping, an overflow pipe shall be installed to discharge into another lagoon or a waste storage pond. The overflow pipe shall have a minimum diameter of 6 inches and shall have sufficient capacity to prevent over topping of the lagoon during peak inflow periods. The overflow pipe shall be installed so that effluent is discharged from a minimum of 6 inches below the surface. An "elbow" or "tee" pipe fitting or similar device on the inlet end of the overflow pipe may be used for this purpose. When pumps and sumps are needed to lift waste from a lower elevation to a higher elevation, provisions must be made to prevent overflow of the sump in case of power or pump failure. The sump shall be covered or fenced for safety. Protection If the lagoon will create a safety hazard, it shall be fenced and warning signs posted to prevent children and others from using it for purposes other than intended. The lagoon shall be fenced, if necessary, to protect the vegetation and the embankment. Erosion and Sediment Control Measures Plans for waste treatment lagoons shall include temporary measures for the control of erosion and sedimentation during the construction period. Such measures shall be maintained for efficient operation. Permanent vegetation shall be established on all disturbed areas in compliance with Critical Area Treatment standards (342-II) of the Technical Guide. CONSIDERATIONS 359-13 If the embankment is over 15 feet high and impounds over 10-acre feet of effluent, a permit must be obtained as required by the North Carolina Dam Safety Law. Types Waste treatment lagoons are of three general types --anaerobic, naturally aerobic, and mechanically aerated. Anaerobic lagoons require less surface area than naturally aerobic lagoons but may give off odors. Naturally aerobic lagoons are relatively odor free. Mechanically aerated lagoons are comparable in size to anaerobic lagoons and are generally odor free, but they require energy for aeration. Anaerobic lagoons are most commonly used for livestock waste treatment. Since the anaerobic process is not dependent on maintaining free oxygen, lagoons can be deeper and require less surface area. Anaerobic decomposition of livestock waste can result in the production and emission of odorous gases; however, an anaerobic lagoon that is properly sized can be managed to keep odors to a minimum. Figure A is an example of a typical anaerobic lagoon. Naturally aerobic lagoons tend to be relatively odor free because bacterial digestion tends to be more complete. Aerobic lagoons are designed on the basis of surface area instead of volume. Aerobic lagoons may require up to 25 times as much land area as anaerobic lagoons and are usually not recommended for livestock and poultry waste treatment in North Carolina because of space requirements. Mechanically aerated lagoons combine the best features of aerobic and anaerobic; that is, good odor control with small surface area NRCS. NC JANUARY, 1998 Rev. 4 359-14 requirements. They may also be used for nitrogen removal where land area for disposal is limited. The major disadvantage of mechanically aerated lagoons is the high cost of electric energy for continuous operation of the aerators. Due consideration should be given to facility access, ease of loading and unloading wastes, the overall waste management plan, and health and safety factors. Non -polluted runoff shall be excluded from the lagoon if not included in the design capacity. The Waste Treatment Lagoon should be located so that prevailing winds, vegetative screening, and building arrangement minimize odor and visual resource problems. Solids removal To reduce sludge buildup, remove solids from waste of animals, such as dairy cattle, fed high roughage rations. A solids trap or a separator may be provided between the waste sources and the lagoon. This may be a concrete or earth structure that can be emptied periodically. The sizing of these structures will be such that a waste utilization plan can be developed. If earth structures are used, a minimum of two should be planned so that one can be dried and cleaned while the other is functioning. Organic nitrogen compounds and phosphorous compounds tend to accumulate in sludge. In addition to nitrogen levels up to 13 times higher than lagoon liquid and phosphorous Ievels up to 45 times higher than lagoon liquid concentrations, sludge may also contain significant levels of heavy metals, salts, and other trace elements. PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS Plans and specifications for installing waste treatment lagoons shall be in keeping with this standard and shall describe the requirements for applying the practice to achieve its intended purpose. Plans and specifications for a waste treatment lagoon will only be prepared when it is a part of a complete waste management system including a waste utilization plan. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE A written Operation and Maintenance (0 & AEI)_ PlarrshaIl be prepared for each lagoon. The 0 & M Phan shall be incorporated into the design prepared Tor the Waste Management System. A copy will be given to the landowner and discussed with him. As a minimum, the 0 & M Plan shall contain the following: l . A waste utilization plan that is in accordance with FOTG Practice Standards for Waste Utilization (633) and Nutrient Management (590). (Note: A more detailed plan may be required if controlling nutrient is other than N.) 2. Precharge with a volume of water equal to one-half of the treatment volume before wastes are introduced. 3.

Feeder to Finish Swine Number of Animals: 1256.00 hogs (Design Capacity) STORAGE STRUCTURE: Anaerobic Waste Treatment Lagoon APPLICATION METHOD: Irrigation 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 safe manner: 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. Page: 1 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing 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. This plan is based on the waste application method shown 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. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.) 1256 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 2386.4 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 1256 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 2888.8 lbs. PAN/year Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner. The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

Actual total acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. SLUDGE APPLICATION: The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 464.72 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 2323.6 pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 7.74533333333 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 18.5888 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application methods. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake 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 available 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 irrigation is the method of land 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 Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and Page: 7 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts. Tract Field Soil Type GeB GeB GeB GeB GeB GeB Crop CS WA CS FESG CS CS OGH WA WA WA Application Rate Applic.

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 180.00 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6.00 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste be 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 Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Page: 8 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. NARRATIVE OF OPERATION The waste storage lagoons have been in operation since 1996. The design and construction were certified by Frank Evans, CET-NRCS. The waste irrigation system was designed by Llew Gilliam and reviewed/approved by H.R. Pate,Jr. CET- NRCS. This waste utilization plan is based on actual wettable acres which were computed by Frank Evans. Thia resulted in a revision of WUP 11/99 by D.Lewis, DC. Page: 9 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 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 which 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 waste, he/she shall provide a copy 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 facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application 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 that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strip) 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When 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 or flies. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the 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. Page: 10 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 10. Waste nutrients 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 from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 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. 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 they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharges 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. Page: 11 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 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 preplant 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. 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 element. 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 for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) 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. Page: 12 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN AGREEMENT Name of Farm:C.F. Blackwell Company Owner/Manager Agreement I (we) understand and will follow and implement the specifications and the operation and maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above. I (we) know that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste treatment and storage system or construction of new facilities will require a new certification to be submitted to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) before the new animals are stocked. I (we) also understand that there must be no discharge of animal waste from this system to surface waters of the state from a storm event less severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm. The approved plan will be filed on -site at the farm office and at the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation District and will be available for review by NCDWQ upon request.

DATE: • A 4" X 4" treated post, painted white or a 4" diameter schedule 40 PVC pipe with cap shall be placed at the maximum liquid level at elevation . At no time should the effluent level rise above the maximum liquid level, which is 2 . G. feet level below the settled top of dam. • A visual inspection of the waste storage pond will be performed at least twice a year. The inspector should check the condition of the dam and the emergency spillway. The inspector will need to look for signs of slope failure and seepage on the back slope and at the toe of the dam. Also, a very close look will need to be made to check for signs of damage due to varmint (ground hogs, muskrats, etc.) burrows. A visual inspection should also be made after heavy rainfall events to ensure that the structure is not experiencing erosion rills or gullies. Any problems found should be brought to the attention of the technical specialist for repair recommendations. • The waste storage pond will need to be mowed twice a year. All eroded areas shall be repaired and stabilized. Areas that do n'ot have an adequate ground cover 0h4 be reseeded to provide a vegetative cover sufficient restrain erosion. The dam and all constructed slopes will need to be fertilized annually with 500 pounds of 10-10-10 per acre or its equivalent. • Maintain all waste handling equipment —pumping, loading, hauling, spreading, etc. — in accordance with the manufacturers specifications. • All waste application shall be completed in accordance with the waste utilization plan. The waste storage pond will be emptied at the end of each design storage period ( 70 days or months) or as needed due to excess rainfall. See the attached NC Agricultural Extension Service Agri -Waste Management Publication by Dr. James C. Barker for information on sampling and testing of the effluent.

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 Burial three feet beneath the surface of the ground within 24 hours of knowledge of animal death. The burial must be at least 300 feet from any flowing stream or public body of water (G.S.106-403). The bottom of the burial pit should be at least one foot above the seasonal high water table. Attach burial location map and plan. Landfill at municipal solid waste facility permitted by NC DEQ under GS 15A NCAC 13B .0200. Rendering at a rendering plant licensed under G.S. 106-168.7. Complete incineration according to 02 NCAC 52C .0102. 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. In the case of dead poultry only, placing in a disposal pit of a size and design approved by the NC Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services (G.S. 106-549.70). Any method which, in the professional 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. 3 2- Signature of Farm Owner/Manager Date 4-4' (SCT) Signature of Technical Specialist F/2/ Date NC-ENG-16(JS) Revised 9/77 . t 2ar(/5 JA'6 U.
