Mortality Management Methods
Indicate which method(s) will be implemented.
When selecting multiple methods indicate a primary versus secondary option.
Methods other than those listed must be approved by the State Veterinarian.
Primary Secondary Routine Mortality
QBurial three feet beneath the surface of the ground within 24 hours of knowledge of animal
El 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.
D El
Landfill at municipal solid waste facility permitted by NC DEQ under GS 15A NCAC
13B .0200.
ElEl Rendering at a rendering plant licensed under G.S. 106-168.7.
ElEl 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.
EJ
In the case of dead poultry only, placing in a disposal pit of a size and design approved by the
El NC Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services (G.S. 106-549.70).
El Any method which, in the professional opinion of the State Veterinarian, would make possible
the salvage of part of a dead animal's value without endangering human or animal health.
(Written approval by the State Veterinarian must be attached).
QMass 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.

SWINE WASTE IVINAGENENT SYSTEM
OPERATION AM RIAMTERANCE PLAg
B. Operation
Your animal waste management facility was designed for a total
of _3800 sows/animals (71bs. to _301bs._
contains both permanent and temporary). The lagoon
storage is not to be storage. The permanent
pumped in order to ensure that anaerobic
action will occur. The design includes permanent storage of one
cubic foot per pound of steady state live weight.
The temporary storage portion of the lagoon includes capacity
for the volume of waste produced over 180 days, the amount of
rainfall in a 25 year 24 hour storm event, and rainfall in
excess of evaporation. Your facility is designed for 180 days
of temporary storage; therefore, it will need to be pumped
every six months. Begin pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level
reaches elevation _55.2 as marked by permanent markers. Stop
pump -out when the fluid level reaches elevation _52.4
The attached waste management plan should be followed. This
plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see Attachment B)
before land application. The waste material should be analyzed
before each application cycle to determine its nutrient content.
A soil test of the area of application should be made annually
to insure the waste is applied as reasonably and practically
possible to recommended rates.
It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre -
charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during
start-up. pre -charging reduces the concentration of the initial
waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should
be covered with effluent at all times.
The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of
pollutants into waters of the United States. The Department of
Environment, Health, and NaturalResources, Division of
Environmental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing
this law.

CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS
Producer: _Murray Farms
Clearing: All trees and brush shall be removed from the impoundment
area before construction is started. The foundation of the lagoon
shall be cleared of all trees, stumps, roots, brush, sod, organic
soil, and debris. All stumps and all roots exceeding 1 inch in
diameter shall be removed to a minimum depth of 1 foot.
Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. After clearing
is completed the foundation area shall be loosened thoroughly and
roughly leveled, with suitable equipment, before placement of any
embankment material.
cutoff Trench: A cutoff trench shall be excavated to a minimum
depth of 36inches under the embankment. The exact depth shall be
determined on site by SCS. The trench side slopes shall be 1:1 or
flatter and the width will be a minimum of 6 feet, but will depend
on the equipment being used. The cutoff trench shall be backfilled
with _SC material. The trench shall be backfilled in 9 inch
layers and compacted with a sheepsfoot roller with a minimum of 4
passes per unit width of fill lift. If sheepsfoot roller is not
used, the trench shall be backfilled in 4 inch layers and compaction
shall be equivalent to or better than the routing of the hauling and
spreading equipment over the fill 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. All standing water
shall be removed from the trench before backfilling is started.
Rwi5ting Tile Drains: When tile drains are encountered, the tile
will be dug up and removed. The tile trench shall be backfilled
with a compacted layer of CL or CH material.
Ravation: Topsoil shall be stocked piled separately for later
use. The bottom of the lagoon shall be excavated as shown on the
plans. Where pervious material (SP, quartz veins, etc.) is exposed
during excavation, it shall be undercut and backfilled with a
compacted layer of highly plastic (CL, CH) material approximately
one foot in thickness. Scarify and compact the bottom and, where
practicable, the side slopes of the lagoon to decrease the
permeability of the soil in the lagoon.
Enbankment conk. ct on: The material placed in the embankment
shall be free of sod,roots, stones over six (6) inches in diameter,
and other objectionable materials. SC and CL materials shall
be used in the embankment. Pervious material shall not be used in
the embankment. Construction of the embankment shall be made in
layers not to exceed 4 inches in thickness. Compaction shall be
equivalent to or better than the routing of the hauling and
spreading equipment over the fill 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. If pans are not
used, construction of the embankment shall be made in layers not to

exceed 9 inches in thickness and compacted with a sheepsfoot roller
with a minimum of 4 passes per unit width of fill lift. At any time
the embankment surface becomes "slickened" such that the succeeding
layer will not bond to the previous layer, scarify the previous
layer sufficiently to assure bonding of the surfaces before
continuing with the fill operation. Construction of the fill shall
be undertaken only at such times that the moisture content of the
fill material will permit a reasonable degree of compaction.
Construction of the embankment shall allow an additional _5_% for
settlement. Stock piled topsoil shall be spread over top of
embankment and outside side slopes for the establishment of
vegetation.
Pollution Control During Construction: Stripping of embankment and
borrow areas shall be done as they are needed in a normal sequence
of construction. Use temporary mulch protection on all disturbed
areas that are subject to erosion and will not have substantial
additional work performed for 30 days.
Vegetation: Vegetation shall be established on the slopes,
embankment top and all other disturbed areas, except the area that
will be inundated, as specified in the plans as soon as possible
after construction. Necessary steps shall be taken to ensure that a
good stand of vegetation is established in a reasonable amount of
time.
Seeding rates are: 50 lb. Kentucky 31 Tall Fescue

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 be taken not to load effluent application fields with high amounts of
copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water moving to streams and lakes,
phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a concern.

The Available Waste Storage Capacity table provides an estimate of the number of days of storage capacity available
at the end of each month of the plan. Available storage capacity is calculated as the design storage capacity in days
minus the number of days of net storage volume accumulated. The start date is a value entered by the user and is
defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or
holding pond is equal to zero.
Available storage capacity 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).
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.
948882 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 9/26/2011 Specification Page 1

8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or
when the soil surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that
the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The
potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered.
10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted
crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient loading rates on
these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted
to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior
to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1,1995 shall comply with the
following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from
a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any
residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste
from facilities sited on or after October 1,1995, shall not be applied closer that 25
feet to perennial waters.
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than
those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public
right-of-ways.
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.
948882 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 9/26/2011 Specification Page 2

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

Crop Notes
The following crop note applies to field(s): 4, 6, 7
Bermudagrass Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, Moderately Well Drained.
Adaptation: Well -adapted.
In the Coastal Plain, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. 1 to Mar. 31. Cover sprigs 1" to 3"
deep (1.5" optimal). Sprigs should be planted quickly after digging and not allowed to dry in sun and
wind. For Coastal and Tifton 78 plant at least 10 bu/ac in 3' rows, spaced 2' to 3' in the row. Generally a
rate of 30 bu/ac is satisfactory to produce full groundcover in one or two years under good growing
conditions. Tifton 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bu/ac in 1.5' to 2' rows spaced 1' to 1.5' in row.
For broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus,
potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 100 lb/ac N in
the establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply 180 to 240
lb/ac N annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts.
Reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization
of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for more information or consult your regional agronomist or
extension agent for assistance.
The following crop note applies to field(s): 5
Bermudagrass: Piedmont
Adaptation: Moderate to Well -adapted.
In the Piedmont, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. 1 to Mar. 31. Cover sprigs 1" to 3"
deep (1.5" optimal). Sprigs should be planted quickly after digging and not allowed to dry in sun and
wind. For Coastal and Tifton 78 plant at least 10 bu/ac in 3' rows, spaced 2' to 3' in the row. Generally a
rate of 30 bu/ac is satisfactory to produce full groundcover in one or two years under good growing
conditions. Tifton 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bu/ac in 1.5' to 2' rows spaced 1' to 1.5' in row.
For broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus,
potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 1001b/ac N in
the establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply 180 to 240
lb/ac N annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts.
Winter -kill is a frequent problem in the Upper Piedmont; Coastal is not adapted there. Tifton 44 is the
most cold -hardy cultivar. Reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305
Production and Utilization of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for more information or consult
your regional agronomist or extension agent for assistance.

Nash County, North Carolina
Aap unit: GeB - Georgeville loam, 2 to 6 percent slopes
Text kind/Category: Nontechnical description/Cropland
In cultivated areas of this Georgeville soil, the major crops are tobacco, corn, soybeans, and small grain. The hazard of erosion is the main
limitation affecting cropland. Planting winter cover crops and managing crop residue help to control runoff and erosion and maintain tilth.
Conservation practices, such as no -till planting, striperopping, crop rotations, contour farming, field borders, grassed waterways, and terraces
and diversions, can also help to conserve water and control erosion.
Map unit: NoB - Norfolk loamy sand, 2 to 6 percent slopes
Text kindlCategory: Nontechnical description/Cropland
In cultivated areas of this Norfolk soil, the major crops are cotton, tobacco, peanuts, com, sweet potatoes, cucumbers, and soybeans. The
hazard of erosion and a water table that is perched during wet periods are the main limitations affecting cropland. Cultivation may be delayed
during wet periods. Planting winter cover crops and managing crop residue help to control runoff and erosion and maintain tilth.
Conservation practices, such as no -till planting, striperopping, crop rotations, contour farming, field borders, grassed waterways, and terraces
and diversions, can also help to conserve water and control erosion.
Map unit: NrB - Norfolk, Georgeville, and Faceville soils, 2 to 8 percent slopes
Text kind/Category: Nontechnical description/Cropland
in cultivated areas of these Norfolk, Georgeville, and Faceville soils, the major crops are cotton, tobacco, peanuts, com, and soybeans. The
hazard of erosion and a water table that is perched in the Norfolk soil during wet periods are the main limitations affecting cropland.
Cultivation may be delayed during wet periods. Planting winter cover crops and managing crop residue help to control runoff and erosion and
maintain filth. Conservation practices, such as no -till planting, striperopping, crop rotations, contour fanning, field borders, grassed
waterways, and terraces and diversions, can also help to conserve water and control erosion.
Map unit: Ra - Rains fine sandy loam
Text kind/Category: Nontechnical description/Cropland
In drained and cultivated areas of this Rains soil, the major crops are corn, soybeans, and small grain. The high water table is the main
limitation affecting cropland. Cultivation may be delayed during wet periods. Artificial drainage systems may be needed to remove excess
water, but a lack of suitable outlets can restrict the use of many drainage systems.

I. SAMPLE COLLECTION
A. Semi -Solid Lot Manure
i. Scraped directly from lot into spreader: From loaded spreader, collect about 21bs manure from
different locations using nonmetallic collectors.
ii. From storage: Collect about 2 lbs manure from under the surface crust avoiding bedding materials
using nonmetallic collectors.
B. Liquid Manure Slurry
i. Under -slotted -floor pit
a. Extend a 1/2" nonmetallic conduit open on both ends into manure to pit floor.
b. Seal upper end of conduit (e.g., by placing a thumb over end of conduit) trapping manure
that has entered lower end, remove and empty slurry into plastic bucket or nonmetallic
container.

c. Take subsamples from 5 or more locations or at least 1 quart.
d. Mix and add about 3/4 pint to nonmetallic sample container.
ii. Exterior storage basin or tank
a. Make sure manure has been well mixed with a liquid manure chopper -agitator pump or
propeller agitator.
b. Take subsamples from about 5 pit locations, from agitator pump or from manure spreader
and place in a plastic bucket.
c. Mix and add 3/4 pint to a nonmetallic sample container.
C. Lagoon Liquid
i. Collect about 3/4 pint of recycled lagoon liquid from inflow pipe to flush tanks in a nonmetallic
sample container.
ii. From lagoon
a. Place a small bottle (1/2 pint or less) on end of 10-15' pole.
b. Extend bottle 10-15' away from bank edge.
c. Brush away floating scum or debris.
d. Submerge bottle within 1' of liquid surface.
e. Empty into a plastic bucket, repeat about 5 times around lagoon, mix, and add 3/4 pint to
nonmetallic sample container.
D. Broiler or Turkey Litter
i. House litter
a. Visually inspect litter for areas of varying quality, e.g., areas around feeders and waterers,
and estimate percent of floor surface in in each area.
b. Take about 5 litter subsamples at locations proportionate to item a. E.g., if 20% of litter of
similar visual quality is around feeders and waterers, take 1 subsample there and the other 4
subsamples from remainder of floor surface.
c. At each location, collect litter from a 6" by 6" area down to earth floor and place in a plastic
bucket.
d. After 5 subsamples have been added to the bucket, mix, and add about 2-3 lbs litter to a
nonmetallic sample container such as a 1-gallon freezer bag and seal.

Livestock Waste Samplin€ nalysis, and Calculation of Land App don Rates EBAE 1... Page 3 of 12
ii. From stockpile
a. Take subsamples from about 5 locations at least 18" into pile.
b. Mix, add 2-3 lbs to nonmetallic sample container and seal.
II. SAMPLE PREPARATION AND TRANSFER
A. Place sample into an expandable container that can be sealed. Rinse residues from container with clean
water but do not use disinfectants, soaps, or treat in any other way.
B. Pack sample in ice, refrigerate, freeze, or transfer to lab quickly.
C. Hand -delivery is most reliable way of sample transfer.
D. If mailed, protect sample container with packing material such as newspaper, box or package with
wrapping paper, and tape.

ii. Forward $4 along with the sample.
iii. Include the following identification information with sample:
a. Livestock species (dairy, swine, turkey, etc.)
b. Livestock usage (swine -nursery, fmishing; turkey -breeders, brooderhouse, grower, number
flocks grown on litter; etc.)
c. Waste type (dairy -lot scraped manure, liquid slurry; swine- pit slurry, lagoon liquid,

iv. Routine analyses performed on all samples: N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Na, S, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, B
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.
F. The following conversion factors apply:

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 #

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

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.
iii. 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
v. 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

Forced Air Composter Waste Application
3,800 Swine Wean — Feeder Farm
Estimated total compost produced: 6 herds X 2 primary bins (456 cu. ft. / bin) = 5472 cu. ft.
Reduction in volume: 5472.0 cu. ft. X 80% = 4377.6 cu. ft.
Assume % will be reused in a year's time, so net annual compost produced: 4377.6 cu. ft X 0.5 =
2188.8 cu. ft.
At approximately 40.0 lbs. / cu. ft. of compost this translates to 43.8 tons of compost / year
produced. (2188.8 cu. ft. X 40 lbs. / cu. ft.) / 2000 lbs. / ton = 43.8 tons of compost.
The average N value from swine compost is 15.5 lbs. N / Ton.
43.8 tons X 15.5 lbs. N / Ton = 678.9 lbs. N to be land applied.
The Swine Farm generates 1817 lbs. N / year to be applied. Adding the 678.9 lbs. N / year from
the composter is a total of 2495.9 lbs N / year. The fields dedicated to the swine farm can
handle a total of 2475 Ibs. N / year. The farm is short 20.9 Ibs. N / year on the Bermuda / Small
Grain over -seeded fields. The remaining part of field 7 is 2.5 acres which is in continuous
soybeans with an N application rate of 70.0 Ibs. N / ac. This will handle all the compost from
the farm.
