Proper lagoon management should be a year-round priority.It is especially important to manage
levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and wet periods.
Maximum storage capacity should be available inthe lagoon for periods when the receiving crop is
dormant (such as wintertime for bermudagrass)or when there are extended rainy spells such as a
thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means that at the first sign of plant growth in the
later winter / early spring, irrigation according to a farm waste management plan should be done
whenever the land in dry enough to receive lagoon liquid.This will make storage space available in
the lagoon for future wet periods.In the late summer / early fall the lagoon should be pumped down
to the low marker (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage.Every effort should be made to
maintain the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as long as the weather and waste utilization
plan will allow it.
Waiting until the lagoon has reached itsmaximum storage capacity before starting to irrigateddoes
not leave roomfor storing excess water during extended wet periods.Overflow from the lagoon for
any reason except a 25-year,24-hour storm is a violationof state lawand subject to penalty action.
The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following:
•Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam.Fescue or common bermudagrass
are the most common vegetative covers.The vegetation should be fertilized each
year, if needed,to maintain a vigorous stand.The amount of fertilized applied
should be based on a soils test,but in the event that it is not practical to obtain a
soils test each year,the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas should be
fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10,or equivalent.
• Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may be done by
mowing,spraying,grazing,chopping,or a combination of these practices.This
should be done at least once a year and possibly twice in years that weather
conditions are favorable for heavy vegetative growth.
NOTE:If vegetation is controlled by spraying,the herbicide must not be allowed to enter the lagoon
water.Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating the waste.
Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of the lagoon
and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events.Items to be checked should include,
as a minimum,the following:
Waste Inlet Pipes,Recycling Pipes,and Overflow Pipes -look for:
1.separation of joints
2.cracks or breaks
3.accumulation of salts or minerals
4.overall condition of pipes
Lagoon surface -look for:
1.undesirable vegetative growth
2.floating or lodged debris
Embankment —look for:
1.settlement,cracking,or "jug"holes
2.side slope stability -slumps or bulges
3. wet or damp areas on the back slope
4.erosion due to lack or vegetation or as a result of wave action
5.rodent damage
Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong
winds.These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls,thereby weakening the lagoon dam.
Agood stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action.If
wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffles in the lagoon may be
used to reduce the wave impacts.
Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam. Ifyour lagoon
has any of these features,you should call an appropriate expert familiar with design and
construction of waste lagoons.You may need to provide a temporary fix if there is a
threat of a waste discharge.However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the
technical expert.Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious
undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless
recommended by an appropriate technical expert.
Transfer Pumps -check for proper operation of:
1.recycling pumps
2.irrigation pumps
Check for leaks,loose fittings, and overall pump operation.An unusually loud or grinding
noise, or a large amount of vibration, may indicate that the pump is in need of repair or
replacement.
NOTE:Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that
you are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure.You should perform your
pumping system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This will
allow some safety time should major repairs be required.Having a nearly full lagoon is
not the time to think about switching,repairing,or borrowing pumps.Probably,ifyour
lagoon is full,your neighbor's lagoon is full also.You should consider maintaining an
inventory of spare parts or pumps.
• Surfacewater diversion features are designed to carry all surface drainage
waters (such as rainfall runoff,roof drainage,gutter outlets,and parking lot
runoff)away from your lagoon and other waste treatment or storage
structures. The only water that should be coming from your lagoon is that
which comes from your flushing (washing)system pipes and the rainfall that
hits the lagoon directly.You should inspect your diversion system for the
following:
1.adequate vegetation
2. diversion capacity
3. ridge berm height
Identified problems should be corrected promptly.It is advisable to inspect your system
during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to
determine proper solutions,consult with appropriate experts.
You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted,and then
record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping).This will
give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount
(you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work).Knowing this should help in
planning irrigation applications and storage.If your lagoon rises excessively, you may
have an overflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into
the lagoon from the surrounding land.
Lagoon Operation
Startup:
1.Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil
surfaces to avoid erosion.
2.Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before waste
loading begins,taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes.
3.Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender on the end of the
pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial filling or another
means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of the lining.
4.When possible,begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize bacterial
establishment (due to warmer weather).
5. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy
working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full lagoon liquid
volume.This seeding should occur at least two weeks prior to the addition of
wastewater.
6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below 7.0, add
agricultural limeat the rate of 1 pound per 1000 cubic feet of lagoon liquid volume
untilthe pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquidpH is between 7.5 and 8.0.
7. A dark color,lack of bubbling,and excessive odor signals inadequate biological
activity.Consultation with a technical specialist is recommended if these
conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm season.
Loading:
The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon,the better the
lagoon will function.Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily
are optimum for treatment.Pit recharge systems,in which oneor more buildings are
drained and recharged each day, also work well.
• Practice water conservation --minimize building water usage and spillage from
leaking waterers,broken pipes and washdown through proper maintenance and water
conservation.
•Minimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted.This will reducethe
amount of solids entering the lagoon.
Management:
•Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and the full
temporary storage level.
•Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the minimum liquid level
and the maximum liquid level.(Figure 2-1).
• Start irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring based on nutrient
requirements and soil moisture so that temporary storage will be maximized for the
summer thunderstorm season.Similarly, irrigate in the late summer / early fall to
provide maximum lagoon storage for the winter.
• The lagoon liquid level should never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest point of the
dam or embankment.
• Don not pump the lagoon liquid level lower than the permanent storage level unless
you are removing sludge.
•Locate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid surface and
as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible.
•Prevent additions of bedding materials,long-stemmed forage or vegetation,molded
feed,plastic syringes,or other foreign materials into the lagoon.
•Frequently remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or
wherever they are installed.
• Maintain strict vegetation,rodent,and varmint control near lagoon edges.
• Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embankment.
•Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is full or
before it fills 50 percent ofthe permanent storage volume.
•If animal production is to be terminated,the owner is responsible for obtaining and
implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility of a pollutant discharge.
Sludge Removal:
Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by:
•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:
• Hire a custom applicator.
•Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid witha chopper - agitator impeller 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 applicator;haul 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
constituents just as you would your lagoon water.The sludge will contain different
nutrient and metal values from the liquid.The application of the sludge to fields will be
limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field and crop
requirement.Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3.
When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage.
Close attention by the pumper or drag-line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner
remains intact.If you see soil materialor the synthetic liner material being disturbed,you
shouldstop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can
be removed without liner injury.Ifthe liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as
possible.
Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higherphosphorus and heavy metalcontent
than liquid.Because ofthis it should probably be appliedto land with low phosphorus and
metal levels,as indicated by a soil test,and incorporated to reduce the chance of erosion.
Note that ifthe sludge is applied to fields with very high soil-test phosphors,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 nutrient value.
The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site.
Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which
could increase the concern of neighbors.
Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure
Lagoon failures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the sjxucture.
Types of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides,overtopping,and b»ach of
the dam.Assuming proper design and construction,the owner has the re?—J!Rm#»<~
ensuring structure safety.Items which may lead to lagoon failures include:
•Modification ofthe lagoon structure - an example isthe placement ofa pipe in thedam
Without proper design and COnStrUCtiO"frSniVM*an ovnort in bnnnn Hecinn hofnro
placing any pipes in dams.)
•Lagoon liquid levels —high levelsare a safety risk.
•Failure to inspect and maintain the dam.
•Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon.
•Liner integrity -- protect from inlet pipe scouring,damage during sludge removal,or
rupturefrom lowering lagoon liquid levelbelowgroundwater table.
NOTE:If lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the movingwater will soon cause
gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly cause a large
discharge of wastewater and possible dam failure.

System Calibration
Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operation
conditions with relatively new equipment.Discharge rates and application rates change
over time as equipment gets older and components wear.In particular,pump wear tends
to reduce operating pressure and flow.With continued use,nozzle wear results in an
increase in the nozzle opening which will increase the discharge rate while decreasing the
wetted diameter.
You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the design will
alter the application rate,diameter of coverage,and subsequently the application
uniformity.For example,operating the system with excessive pressure results in smaller
droplets,greater potential for drift,and accelerates wear of the sprinkler nozzle.Clogging
of nozzles can result in pressure increase.Plugged intakes or crystallization of mainlines
will reduce operating pressure.Operating below design pressure greatly reduces the
coverage diameter and application uniformity.
For the above reason,you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basisto ensure
proper application rates and uniformity.Calibration at least once every three years is
recommended.Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at several locations in
the application area.Any number of containers can be used to collect flow and
determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because 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 at several distances from sprinklers.For traveling guns,sprinklers
should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direction of pull.Set out
collection containers 25 feet apart along the transect on both sides of the gun cart. You
should compute the average application rate for all nonuniformity of the application.On a
windless day,variation between containers of more than 30 percent is cause for concern.
You should contact your irrigation dealer or technical specialist for assistance.
