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
Q Q 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 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.
a a 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).
Q Q 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 NCDABCS 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.

SWINE WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
Producer: Lervern Si kes-Home Farm
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 continued 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:
Fescue is being established on these areas. Beginning is 2011 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 or 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

SWINE WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
C. erosion and rodent damage
4. Transfer Pump
B. Olzeration
Your animal waste management facility was designed for a total of 2886 animals
feeder to finish . 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. Begin pump-
out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches elevation 38.3 as marked by permanent
markers. Stop pump-out when the fluid level reaches elevation 35.7.
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.
If this is a new lagoon, it is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre-
charged to '/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.
If this is an existing operation that is being brought up to modern day standards and
specifications, usually the lagoon will not have adequate storage for sludge
accumulation. It is recommended that the lagoon is agitated and sludge land
applied in an environmentally safe manner every 2=3 years.
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.

Insect Control Checklist for Animal Operations

Liquid Systems
Flush Gutters • Accumulation of Solids 2r Flush system is designed and operated sufficiently to
remove accumulated solids from gutters as designed;
7 Remove bridging of accumulated solids at discharge
Lagoons and Pits # Crusted Solids ® Maintain lagoons,settling basins and pits where pest
breeding is apparent to minimize the crusting of
solids to a depth of no more than 6-8 inches over
more than 30%of surface.
Excessive Vegetative • Decaying vegetation Maintain vegetative control along banks of lagoons
Growth and other impoundments to prevent accumulation of
decaying vegetative matter along water's edge on
impoundment's perimeter.
Feeders • Feed Spillage O Design,operate and maintain feed systems(e.g.,
bunkers and troughs)to minimize the accumulation
of decaying wastage.
O Clean up spillage on a routine basis(e.g.,7-10 day
interval during summer; 15-30 day interval during
winter).
Feed Storage • Accumulation of feed residues O Reduce moisture accumulation within and around
immediate perimeter of feed storage areas by
insuring drainage away from site and/or providing
adequate containment(e.g.,covered bin for brewer's
grain and similar high moisture grain products).
O Inspect for and remove or break up accumulated
solids in filter strips around feed storage as needed.
Animal Holding Areas Accumulations of animal wastes O Eliminate low areas that trap moisture along fences
and feed wastage and other locations where waste accumulates and
disturbance by animals is minimal.
O Maintain fence rows and filter strips around animal
holding areas to minimize accumulations of wastes
(i.e.inspect for and remove or break up
accumulated solids as needed.

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.

The Irrigation Application Factors for each field in this plan are shown in the following table. Infiltration rate varies
with soils. If applying waste nutrients through an irrigation system, you must apply at a rate that will not result in
runoff. This table provides the maximum application rate per hour that may be applied to each field selected to
receive wastewater. It also lists the maximum application amount that each field may receive in any one application
event.

The Nutrient Management Recommendations table shown below provides an annual summary of the nutrient
management plan developed for this operation. This table provides a nutrient balance for the listed fields and crops
for each year of the plan. Required nutrients are based on the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient
requirements and soil test results. The quantity of nutrient supplied by each source is also identified.
The total quantity of nitrogen applied to each crop should not exceed the required amount. However, the quantity
of other nutrients applied may exceed their required amounts. This most commonly occurs when manure or other
byproducts are utilized to meet the nitrogen needs of the crop. 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. In such situations,additional nitrogen applications from nonorganic sources
may be required to supply the recommended amounts of nitrogen.

The Required Soil Test Values shown in the following table provide a summary of recommended actions that should be taken if soil tests indicate
excessive levels of copper or zinc. Fields that receive manure must have an annual soil analysis for these elements. High levels of zinc and copper
can adversely affect plant growth. Alternative crop sites must be used when the concentration of these metals approach excessive levels. Site life can
be estimated by dividing the amount of copper and zinc to be applied in lbs/acre by 0.036 and 0.071,respectively and multiplying the result by 0.85.
By adding this quantity to the current soil index for copper or zinc, we can predict life of the site for waste disposal.
In addition to copper and zinc indices,this table also provides a summary of lime recommendations for each crop based on the most recent soil sample.
Application of lime at recommended rates is necessary to maintain soil pH in the optimum range for crop production .

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 betaken 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 should be 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 a change in the
operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application,
receiving crop type, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs
for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical
data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are
regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre
per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per
acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter
strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field
Office Technical Guide Standard 393 -Filter Strips).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste
application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift
from the land application field.
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).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
765301 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 8/6/2014 Specification Page 1

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.
S. 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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
765301 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 8/6/2014 Specification Page 2

15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways,
or wetlands by a discharge or by over-spraying. Animal waste may be
applied to prior converted cropland provided the fields have been
approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal
waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly
into water courses, and on other grassed waterways,waste shall be
applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift
from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets,
sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management
system.
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all
disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas
shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as
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.
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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
765301 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 8/6/2014 Specification Page 3

22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested
at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen
shall be the rate-determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require
waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower
application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the
soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when
these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and
maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis
records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste
application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years.
Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five
(5)years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina
regulations.

v.Additional analyses performed upon request: DM,Mo, Cd,Ni,Pb
III. INTERPRETATION OF ANALYTICAL RESULTS
A. Results are usually either on a percent(%) of total weight or a parts per million(ppm or mg/L)basis.
B.Results may be reported on a dry-weight basis(db) or on an AS-IS or wet-weight(wb) basis.
C. Results expressed as dry-basis should be converted to wet-basis before calculating land application
rates by multiplying reported values by% dry matter(%expressed as decimal). If a dry matter analysis is
not performed, average dry matter values may be obtained from appropriate tables of average
characteristics.
D.If ammonia-nitrogen tests are not performed,refer also to appropriate tables for average percentages of
the total nitrogen as ammonia.
E.Phosphorus and potassium results can be reported as elemental P and K or in fertilizer forms of P205
and K20. Recommended fertilization rates of various crops are usually reported as P205 and K20.

B. Minimum Land Area Calculations
i.Example 1: Liquid manure slurry from 100-cow dairy farm broadcast and disked into corn silage
land.
a. Total animal live weight = 100 cows x 1400 #/cow = 140,000 #
b. Total manure = 140000# x 21.2 gals/1400#/day x 365 day/yr
= 775,000 gallons/year
c. Acres of land
1. N: 775, 000 gals/yr / 14,749 gals/ac/yr = 53 acres
2. P205: 775,000 gals/yr / 4,770 gals/ac/yr = 162 acres
ii.Example 2: Lagoon liquid from 200-sow farrow-to-finish swine unit irrigated onto control-grazed
bermudagrass pasture.
a. Total animal live weight = 200 sows x 1417 #/sow = 283,400 #
b. Total liquid = 283400 # X 2.7 gals/135#/day x 365 days/yr
= 2,100, 000 gals/year / 27, 154 gals/ac-in
- 77 acre-inches/year
c. Acres of land
1. N: 77 ac-in/yr / 4.41 ac-in/ac/yr = 18 acres
2. P205: 77 ac-in/yr / 1.89 ac-in/ac/yr = 41 acres
iii.Example 3: Litter from a 20,000-bird capacity broiler house broadcast onto fescue pasture.
a. Total bird live weight = 20000 birds x 2 #/bird 40,000 #
b. Total litter = 40,000 # x 0.038 #/2#/day x 307 days/yr
/2000 lbs/ton = 117 tons/year
c. Acres of land
1. N: 117 tons/yr / 6.0 tons/ac/yr = 20 acres
2. P205: 117 tons/yr / 0.85 ton/ac/yr = 138 acres
VII. SPREADER CALIBRATION
A. Irrigation (stationary sprinkler):
i. Example 2a: How many hours are needed to apply 0.5 inch with a 17.2-gpm
sprinkler on an 80 ft by 80 ft spacing?
ii. Depth (in) = flow rate (gpm) x applic period (hrs) x 96.3

Livestock Waste Sampling,( Aysis, and Calculation of Land Applir 'on Rates EBA... Page 11 of 12
---------------------------------
irrigated area (ft2)
iii. Period (hrs) = applic depth (in) x irrigated area (ft2)
----------------------------------
flow rate (gpm) x 96.3
0.5 in x (80 ft x 80 ft) = 1.9 hours
--------------------------
17.2 gpm x 96.3
B. Irrigation (hard-hose or cable-tow travelling sprinkler):
i. Example 2b: What travel speed is needed to apply 1 inch with a 500-gpm
gun on a 300-ft lane spacing?
ii. Depth (in) = flow rate (gpm) x 1. 605
-----------------------------------
lane spacing (ft) x travel speed (ft/min)
iii. Travel speed (ft/min) = flow rate (gpm) x 1. 605
---------------------------------
lane spacing (ft) x applic depth (in)
500 gpm x 1. 605 = 2.7 ft/min
-----------------
300 ft x 1.0 in
C. Semi-Solid, Liquid Slurry, or Dry Litter Spreader:
i.For semi-solid and dry litter spreaders,weigh one typical load.
ii.As long as the same spreader is loaded with similar quality and quantity of manure or litter, one
weighing will be adequate.
M.Liquid tank spreaders are rated in gallons of capacity.
iv. Through a field trial and operating the spreader in a typical spreading or unloading mode,
determine:
a.effective spreading width
b. time required to unload a typical load
Y.Example 3: What forward speed would be needed to apply 6.0 tons litter per acre from a spreader
with a 6-ton capacity a 5-min spreading time, and a 25-ft spreading width?
a. Rate (tons/ac) = spreader capacity (tons/load) x 495
--------------------------------
time (mins) x width (ft) x forward speed (mph)
b. Forward speed (mph) = spreader capacity (tons/load) x 495
-----------------------------------------
time (mins) x width (ft) x rate (tons/ac)
6 tons x 495 = 4 mph
----------------------------
5 mins x 25 ft x 6.0 tons/ac

CC: Vernon Parker, Tom Crockett Irrigation, Inc.
I have reviewed the information submitted to me on the proposed waste water land
application system for Levern Sykes as fiarnished by Tom Crockett Irrigation, Inc.
You have verified the system has been flagged in the field and all applicable buffers
are in place. The operator should,be encouraged to maintain permanent markers
for the location of the gun cart at the beginning of each pull.
The design will meet NRCS standards and specifications once the waste utilization
plan is revised to show 18.37 acres of effective wetable acreage under the proposed
traverler system. The operator, as well as yourself, needs to sign the nutrient
management plan and the operator needs to acquire a waste-utilization agreement
with the adjacent landowner. I understand a honey wagon will be used to irrigate
acres not covered effectively by the irrigation system.
Once the system is installed, a letter of certification is needed from the irrigation
installer confirming the system has been pressure tested and has been installed
according to NRCS standards and specifications. You are encouraged to visit the
site during installation and testing of the system.

Narrative of irrigation System Operation
Describe.'th.e operation of the system in the space provided below or on a similar sheet most convinient to the designer/supplier.
Include procedures such as start-up, shut-down, winterization and regular maintenance of all equipment.
AT FIRST START UP FILL LINES SLOWLY UNTIL AIR IS PURGED FROM SYSTEM.
AS THE NOZZLE DISCHARGE IS FREE OF. AIR, SLOWLY INCREASE PUMP PSI TO
'P UIRED PRESSURE MAKE SURE NOT TO RUN THE SPRINKLER LONGER THAN THE
qpEcTpEJED TIME TO AVOID OVER APPLICATION. IF A TRAVELER IS USED MAKE SURE
TRAVEL SPEED IS CORRECT TO ALSO AVOID OVER APPLICATION. IN FREEZING WEATHER
BE SURE TO DRAIN PUMP TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE VOLUTE, ALSO IF A TURBIN TO
AVOID DAMAGE. CONSULT YOUR PUMP & TRAVELER MANTELS FOR SCHDULED MAINTAINCE.

guidance for all land application equipment. The rules apply to irrigation sys-
tems as well as all other types of liquid, slurry, or solid application equipment.
Information presented in manufacturers' charts are based on average op-
erating conditions for relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and applica-
tion rates change over time as equipment ages and components wear. As a
result, equipment should be field calibrated regularly to ensure that applica-
tion rates and uniformity are consistent with values used during the system
design and given in manufacturers' specifications. Field calibration involves
collection and measurement of the material being applied at several locations
in the application area. This publication contains step-by-step guidelines for

Calibration should be performed during periods

can be performed anytime when wind velocity is less
than 5 mph.

Figure 1. General layout and orientation
of collection gauges for calibration of a hard hose and cable tow traveler irrigation systems.
CALIBRATION PROCEDURES
1. Determine the wetted diameter of the gun.
2. Determine the number of collection gauges and spacing between gauges. For a wetted diameter of 320
feet,the rain gauge spacing should not exceed 20 feet. (320 ft/ 16= 20 ft).
3. Label gauges outward from the gun cart as either left or right(1-1, L2, L3,etc; R1, R2, R3, etc.)
4. Set out gauges along a row as labeled and shown in Figure 1, equally spaced at the distance determined
in item 2 (20 feet). The row should be at least one wetted diameter from either end of the pull. The first
gauge on each side of the travel lane should be 1/2 the gauge spacing from the center of the lane. For a
gauge spacing of 20 feet, L1 and R1 should be 10 feet from the center of the lane.
5. Operate the system for the time required for the gun to completely pass all collection containers. Record
the"starting"time that wastewater begins to be applied along the row of gauges and the "ending"time
when wastewater no longer is being applied anywhere along the row. Also record the distance traveled in
feet for the time of operation.
6. Immediately record the amounts collected in each gauge. (Refer to Table 1 for an example.)
7. Identify those gauges that fall outside the effective lane spacing, Figure 2. This volume is the overlap
volume that would be collected when operating the system on the adjacent lane.
8. Superimpose (left to right and vice versa)the gauges just outside the effective width with the gauges just
inside the effective width.Add the volumes together.
For the layout shown in Figure 2,add the volume (depth) collected in gauge R8 (outside the effective
lane spacing)to volume (depth) collected in gauge L5 (inside the effective lane spacing). Similarly, R7 is
added to 1-6; L8 is added to R5;and 1-7 is added to R6. This is now the application volume (depth)within
the effective lane spacing adjusted for overlap.

9. Add the amounts collected in all gauges and divide by the number of gauges within the effective area.
This is the average application depth (inches) within the effective lane spacing.

Number of gauges within effective width
10.Calculate the deviation depth for each gauge.The deviation depth is the difference between each
individual gauge value and the average value of all gauges (0). Record the absolute.value of each
deviation depth.Absolute value means the sign of the number (negative sign) is dropped and all values
are treated as positive. The symbol for absolute value is a straight thin line. For example, 121
means treat the number 2 as an absolute value. It does not mean the number 121. Because this
symbol can lead to misunderstandings, it is not used with numbers in the worksheets
at the end of this publication. The symbol is used in formulas in the text.

13.Compute the average travel speed

Average travel speed = —
Time (minutes)
14.Determine the application uniformity. The application uniformity is often computed using the
mathematical formula referred to as the Christiansen Uniformity Coefficient.
It is computed as follows:
Average depth (#9) -Average deviation (#11)
U C _ - X 100
Average depth (#9)
15.Interpret the calibration results. The higher the index value, the more uniform the application. An index of
100 would mean that the uniformity is perfect the exact same amount was collected in every gauge.
For travelers with proper overlap and operated in light wind,an application uniformity greater than 85 is
common.
Application uniformity between 70 to 85 is in the "good" range and is acceptable for wastewater
application.
Generally, an application uniformity below 70 is considered unacceptable for wastewater irrigation using
travelers. If the computed Uc is less than 70, system adjustments are required. Contact your irrigation
dealer or Certified Technical Specialist for assistance.

Once you have determined the wetted diameter from field _
measurements,compare the field-measured wetted diameter
to the expected wetted diameter for the specific sprinkler and
nozzle using the charts provided by the manufacturer.The
field-measured wetted diameter must be within 15 percent of
the wetted diameter reported in the manufacturer's chart for
the operating pressure determined in"Measuring Operating
