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 concem. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a concern.

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.

Review the Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to select a high yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Plant 1-2" deep. Plant populations should be determined by the hybrid being planted. Increase the seeding rate by 10% when planting no -till. Phosphorus and potassium recommended by a soil test can be broadcast or banded at planting. When planting early in cool, wet soil, banded phosphorus will be more available to the young plants. An accepted practice is to apply 20-30 lbs/acre N and 20-30 lbs/acre phosphorus banded as a starter and one-half the remaining N behind the planter. The rest of the N should be applied about 30-40 days after emergence. The total amount of N is dependent on soil type. When including a starter in the fertilizer program, the recommended potassium and any additional phosphorus is normally broadcast at planting. Plant samples can be analyzed during the growing season to monitor the overall nutrient status of the corn. Timely management of weeds and insects are essential for corn production. The following crop note applies to field(s): 1-1, 2-1, 3-1, 4-1 Fescue: Coastal Plain, Organic Soils. Adaptation: Well -adapted. In the Coastal Plain tidewater region, tall fescue can be planted Sept. 1 to Oct. 15 (best) and Feb. 15 to Mar. 20. For pure -stand broadcast seedings use 20 to 30 lb/ac., for drilled use 15 to 20 lb/ac. seed. Use certified seed to avoid introducing weeds or annual ryegrass. Plant seed 0.25" to 0.5" deep for pure stands, 0.25" in mixture with clovers. Tall fescue will tolerate soil wetness but not flooding or prolonged saturation; use ladino clover for mixtures on these soils. Soil test for preplant and maintenance lime, phosphorus, and potassium recommendations. Apply 40 to 60 lb/ac nitrogen at planting for pure stands only. Do not apply N for mixtures with clovers but use proper legume inoculation techniques. Apply 150 to 200 lb/ac. N to pure -stand fescue for hay production; reduce N rates by 25% for grazing.

You should NOT wait until wastes reach surface waters or leave your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be available to all employees at the facility, as accidents, leaks, and breaks could happen at any time. Your Emergency Action -Plan is as follows: 1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may not be possible. Suggested responses to problems are listed below: a. Lagoon overflow - possible solutions are: > Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam > Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate > Stop all additional flow to the lagoon (waterers) > Call a pumping contractor > Make sure no surface water is entering the lagoon NOTE: These activities should be started when your lagoon level has exceeded the temporary storage level. b. Runoff from waste application field - actions include: > Immediately stop waste application > Create a temporary diversion or berm to contain the waste on the field > Incorporate waste to reduce further runoff c. Leakage from the waste distribution system: > Pipes and sprinklers -actions include: -stop recycle (flushing system) pump -stop irrigation pump -close valves to eliminate further discharge -separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow > Flush system,. houses, solids separators -actions include: -stop recycle (flushing system) pump -stop irrigation pump -make sure no siphon effect has been created -separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow Emergency Action Plan Page -2- d. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often these are seepage as opposed to flowing leaks -possible action*: > Dig a small well or ditch to catch all seepage, put in a submersible pump, and pump back into lagoon. > If holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill holes and compact with a clay type soil > Other holes may be likewise temporarily plugged with clay soil *Lagoon problems require the consultation of an individual experienced in the design and installation of lagoons for permanent repair measures. 2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages. a. Did the waste reach any surface waters? b. Approximately how much was released and for what duration? c. Any damage noted, such as employee injury, fish kills, or property damage? 3. Contact appropriate agencies. The numbers are listed below: a. During normal business hours, call your DWQ (formerly DEM) regional office (910) 395 -3900, Emergency number: (919) 733-3942. Your phone call should include: your name, facility, telephone number, the details of the incident from item 2 above, the exact location of the facility, and the location or direction of movement of the spill, weather and wind conditions, what corrective measures have been under taken, and the seriousness of the situation. b. If spill leaves property or enters surface waters, call local EMS (910) 259-1210 or 911. c. Instruct EMS to contact local Health Department (910) 259-1233. `- d. Contact CES (910) 259-1235, and local SWCD and NRCS office (9:1-0).259- 4305 for advice/technical assistance. e. Contact your swine .company 4. Implement procedures as advised by DEM and technical assistance agencies to rectify the damage, repair the system, and reassess the waste management plan to keep problems with release of wastes from happening again.

The time required for the planned fluid level to be reached may vary due to soil conditions,flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal. Methods of applicationinclude solid set, center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be taken when applying waste to prevent runoff from the field or damage to crops. The following items are to be carried out: 1. 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. 2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see Attachment B) before land application. 3. Begin pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches eleva- tion 48.6 as marked by permanent markers. Stop pump -out when the fluid level reaches elevation 46.6 or before fluid depth is less than 6 feet deep (this prevents the loss of favorable bacteria) . 4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.4 inch per hour. 5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain a vigorous stand. 6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and establish in vegetation. 7. All surface runoff is'to be diverted from the lagoon to stable outlets. 8. 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 Environ- mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law.
