The table shown below provides a summary of the crops or rotations included in the plan for each field. Realistic Yield estimates
and Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) recommendations are also provided for each crop as well as the crop's P205 Removal
Rate. The Leaching Index (LI) and the Phosphorous Loss Assessment Tool (PLAT) Rating are also provided for each field,
where available.
If a fieed's PLAT Rating is High, any planned manure application is limited to the phosphorous removal rate of the harvested
plant biomass for'the crop rotation or multiple years in the crop sequence. Fields with a Very High PLAT Rating should receive
no additional applications of manure. Regardless of the PLAT rating starter fertilizers may be recommended in accordance with
North Carolina State University guidelines or recommendations. The quantity of P205 applied to each crop is shown in the
following table if the field's PLAT rating is High or Very High.

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.

Required Soil Test Values
Thomas Family Farm - Allensville
The Required Soil Test Values shown in the following table provide a summary of recommended actions that
should be taken based off information provided at time of soil tests. Fields that receive manure must have a soil
analysis conducted at least once every three years. 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 Ibs/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 first crop listed 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. If the first crop or rotation changes,
these recommendations may need to be reevaluated to ensure optimal ranges ofr crop production are
maintained

Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization
Thomas Family Farm - Allensville
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.

Q

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
i. 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, storical 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.
MAR 2 6 2019

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.
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.
Zo. 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 than 25 feet to perennial waters.
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100feet

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, drainage ways, 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 wash down 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.
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.

NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT PLAN
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
N.C. Practice Job Sheet: NC-590
Prepared for: I f '0rV5 f 6 1S 6, k
By: 91 Arl W&J5
Farm: Tract(s): 111, 390D
WHAT IS NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT?
Nutrient Management is applying nutrients
from all sources with the right placement, in
the right amount, at the right time, and from
the right source to minimize nutrient losses to
surface and groundwater. This practice is
accomplished through development and
implementation of a Nutrient Management
Plan, which can be part of a broader
Conservation Plan or CNMP that addresses
multiple resource concerns.
PURPOSE OF NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT
A nutrient management plan is intended to
accomplish one or more of the following
objectives:
To budget, supply, and conserve nutrients for
plant production.
® To minimize agricultural nonpoint source
pollution of surface and groundwater
resources.
® To properly utilize manure or organic by-
products as a plant nutrient source.
® To protect air quality by reducing odors,
nitrogen emissions (ammonia, oxides of
nitrogen), and the formation of atmospheric
particulates.
® To maintain or improve the physical, chemical,
and biological condition of soil.
CONTENTS OF THE NUTRIENT
MANAGEMENT PLAN
The following components are included in
nutrient management plan specifications
typical of more 'traditional'
Date:
fertilizer and manure application methods.
When precision ag/variable rate application
technology is utilized, see the next section of
this Job Sheet for additional guidance on plan
requirements.
® aerial site photograph(s)/imagery or site
map(s), and a soil survey map of the site,
• Sufficient soils information —such as dominant
soil map until for each planned field —needed
to apply nutrients at RYE and Soil Test Report
determined rates as appropriate; and to not
exceed rates determined by nutrient risk
assessment planning criteria.
® location of designated sensitive areas and the
associated nutrient application restrictions and
setbacks,
® results of approved risk assessment tools for
any necessary evaluations for nitrogen,
phosphorus, and erosion losses.
• current and/or planned plant production
sequence or rotation,
a soil, water, compost, manure, organic by-
product, and plant tissue sample analyses
applicable to the plan. Where non-NCDA soil
testing labs are used, nutrient
recommendations must be made using NCDA-
similar guidelines and methodologies. Note:
high levels of soil copper and zinc may be toxic
to production crops. Land application of these
nutrients must be accordance with
NCSU/NCDA crop toxicity guidelines.
® Realistic yield goals for the crops planned for
nutrient application,
NC-590 Job Sheet May 2015 page 1

• Planned nitrogen application rates based on
NC Realistic Yield Expectations (RYES) or
sufficiently documented yield records,
• The Nitrogen Leaching Index for planned
fields,
• Planned P & K application rates based on soil
test results (see next section where P & K
applied through variable rate technology).
• listing and quantification of all nutrient sources
and form, including starter fertilizer
applications and legume -based cover crop
mixes.
• in accordance with the nitrogen and
phosphorus risk assessment tool(s), specify
the recommended nutrient application source,
timing, amount (except for precision/variable
rate applications specify method used to
determine rate), and placement of plant
nutrients for each field or management unit,
and
• guidance for implementation, operation and
maintenance, and recordkeeping as specified
by the CLAMP or applicable NC DWQ or
NDPES permit.
Where g recision/variable rate nutrient
application applications are planned and
made, some required planning components of
the preceding section may be provided by the
overall conservation plan. In addition, the
following components are required in nutrient
management planning.
• The geo-referenced field boundary and data
collected that was processed and analyzed as
a GIS layer or layers to generate nutrient or
soil amendment recommendations.
• Planned nitrogen application rates based on
NC RYEs or sufficiently documented yield
records
• The Nitrogen Leaching Index for planned
fields.
• The nutrient recommendation guidance and
recommendation equations used to convert the
GIS base data layer or layers to a nutrient
source material recommendation GIS layer or
layers.
• Soil testing documentation that crop
Phosphorus (P205) and Potassium (K20)
nutrient or soil amendment application will be
made per soil test results similar to NCDA
guidelines. Where P & K will not be applied
via variable rate application technology, but by
basic GPS guidance, recommended P & K
NC-590 Job Sheet May 2015
rates must be provided as specifications prior
to application.
• Note —where Diammonium phosphate (18-46-
0) is the primary variable rate P fertilizer
source applied on legume crops, additional N
will likely be needed to achieve RYEs.
The plan was developed based on the current
NRCS 590 standard and Federal, state, or
local regulations or policies. Changes in laws
or regulations may require a plan modification.
This Job Sheet is a required supplement to
the Nutrient Management Plan.
NC Permitted Animal 0 erations: For NC
DENR-DWR or NPDES permitted animal
operations, the waste utilization portion of the
Certified Animal Waste Management Plan
(CAWMP) must meet requirements specified by
the Permit. The NC 1217 Interagency Group
provides guidance on the required minimum
elements of a CAWMP. This guidance is found in
Sec 1.1 of the latest 1217 Guidance Document,
located at:
http://www.ncaar. ov/SWC/tech/ �uidancedocumen

Nitro en Leaching Index Values
Nitr en Leaching Index values obtained through
use of current Soil H drologic Group (SHG)-based
LI index maps in Sec II of the NC FOTG or RUSLE
2 field -specific soil loss calculations. are included
in the Nutrient Management Plan. SHGs per soil
map unit are available through selection of the Soil
Data Explorer and Soil Properties and Qualities
(then select "Soil Qualities and Features") tabs
once an Area of Interest has been defined in
NRCS Web Soil Survey.
If the Nitrogen Leaching Index > 10 for planned
fields, appropriate conservation practices must be
included in a conservation plan to prevent nitrogen
from leaving the field via surface or subsurface
runoff.
Below are conservation crop management
techniques and practices recommended for
mitigation of nitrate losses (practices also
documented in conservation plan):

NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT PLAN
DEVELOPMENT
The nutrient management plan has been
developed to meet nutrient application rate criteria
for all sources of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium
as specified by NRCS 590 Nutrient Management
standard criteria.
In addition to NCDA Agronomic Division soil test
recommendations, or soil test recommendations
made through similar guidelines, the plan is based
on NC INMC approved values for realistic yield
goals, nitrogen factors, phosphorus removal rates,
default nutrient values for animal waste, plant
availability coefficients for N, P, and K, and animal
waste generation volumes where applicable
Approved values are found at:
htt. o..I.In.utrients. soil. Inicsu. eduAndex. him
Where manure is applied, farm records may also
be used through a procedure provided in SB 1217
Interagency Group guidance, available at:
h -0www nca r.aov/SWCAtech/1217committee.ht
m/
For NC permitted animal operations, planning
requirements for Plan "Amendments" (minor
modifications) and "Revisions" (Major
Modifications) are clarified by SB 1217 Interagency
Group Guidance.

phosphorus must be applied in accordance with
590 standard Manure Phosphorus Application
Rates.
In addition to the basic plan components, plan
information on PLAT categorical ratings, P
drawdown strategies, and conservation practices
to reduce P loss risk is required when increases
Soil Test P are ex ected on the Manned area.
Typically, this could occur when manure is
consistently applied at Nitrogen -based rates. High
levels of phosphorus in the surface soil layer have
been linked to increasing risk of P loss through
surface runoff and leaching.
❑ Increases in Soil Test P are expected
on the planned area (not typical if P
application made per soil test results).
NC-590 Job Sheet May 2015
PLAT Categorical Ratings Information
When soil test phosphorus continues to increase
on a long term basis, PLAT may produce results
that require P-based manure application planning
and planning for no additional manure P.
Conditions that will require P-based or no-P
planning will be based on site specific resource
conditions, which will facilitate data input into
PLAT. PLAT categorical ratings that will require
enhanced P application planning are:
HIGH: P-based manure application is required
(limited to P uptake in harvested crop biomass)
VERB No additional manure P or starter P
application to be specified in nutrient management
plan.
Phos horns Drawdown Strate
Information:`
Implementation of a phosphorus 'drawdown'
strategy may be a consequence of PLAT results,
or may be requested in order to lower soil test
phosphorus levels.
Should a reduction in soil test P be desired or
necessary, the only currently proven method of
substantial P 'drawdown' is to not apply manure -
based Pand to plant and harvest crops that utilize
P currently present in the soil surface.
Crop specific estimated annual P removal amounts
are available on the NCSU Nutrient Management
in NC website:
htt ://nutrients.soil.ncsu.edu/ fields/index. h❑
Conservation Practices and lanaclement
Techniques to Reduce P Loss Potential:
Conservation practices, especially those that
prevent soil particle detachment and trap sediment
at field edges are effective in preventing
phosphorus movement from the planned site.
Manure application techniques can also be applied
to reduce P loss risk. These practices must be
included in the conservation plan where
determined PLAT risk = HIGH for planned fields.
Consult the conservation plan developed in
conjunction with the nutrient management plan for
information on practices recommended to reduce
Phosphorus AND nitrogen loss risks. Application
management techniques to reduce nutrient loss
risk may be prescribed below:
page 3

Long Term Strategy for Reduction of Soil P
Levels:
As noted in the P drawdown strategy section, the
only currently proven method for reducing high
levels of soil P is not applying P, .paired with
producing crops on the planned site that use
existing soil P. Where soil P and PLAT
evaluations indicate an increasing risk to water
quality, substantially reducing soil P levels through
crop uptake can take many years of
implementation. When P is not applied, and
existing soil P is used by crops, eventually, soil will
become P deficient. Consult CES or NCDA
Regional Agronomy specialists for additional
information soil test P reduction timelines.
Manure P produced in excess of crop
requirements:
Consult the nutrient management plan for a
.quantification of manure generated by the animal
feeding operation that may exceed crop P
requirements.
"Manure Hauler" Information
All manure waste applied on land owned by or
controlled by the Animal Feeding Operation (AFO)
owner or operator must be included in the nutrient
management plan. The volume difference in total
manure waste generated by the AFO and waste
applied to land not owned or controlled by the
producer must be accounted for in a nutrient
management plan.
General information on manure waste generated
by an AFO to be applied to land not owned or
controlled by the AFO owner or operator may be
recorded as specified in the NC CNMP
Certification Sheet and Documentation Checklist or
other supplemental documentation to the nutrient
management plan. NRCS CNMP technical criteria
require documentation of manure exoorts off the
farm (this can be done below. The AFO
owner/operator should provide the third party
applicator with a current waste analysis in order to
facilitate agronomic crop application of the facility's
generated waste. Should land not owned or
controlled by the AFO owner or operator be
included in a nutrient management plan, the
complete plan must meet 590 criteria.
Type and Quantity of Animal Feeding Operation
(AFO) manure generated by the facility:
Quantity of AFO manure generated to be exported
off the farm for third party application:
RECORDKEEPING
Waste reports from the NCDA & CS Agronomic
Division, or equivalent, are acceptable sources of
information for determining applied manure nutrient
amounts for recordkeeping or crop budgeting
purposes.
Records must be maintained for at least 5 years, or
for time and manner required by Permit for animal
operations to document plan implementation and
maintenance. As applicable, records include:
® soil, plant tissue, water, manure, and
organic by-product analyses resulting in
recommendations for nutrient application,
• quantities, analyses and sources of
nutrients applied.
• dates, and method(s) of nutrient
applications, source of nutrients, and rates
of application,
• weather conditions and soil moisture at the
time of application; lapsed time to manure
incorporation; rainfall or irrigation event,
• crops planted, planting and harvest dates,
yields, nutrient analyses of harvested
biomass, and crop residues removed,
• dates of plan review, name of reviewer,
and recommended changes resulting from
the review, and
• all enhanced efficiency fertilizer products
used.
Additional records for precision/variable rate
sites must include:
• maps identifying the variable application
source, timing, amount, and placement of
all plant nutrients applied, and
• GPS-based yield maps for crops where
yields can be digitally collected.
• Documentation per field nitrogen
application rates do not exceed RYE -
based recommended rates
• Documentation that applied phosphorus
and potassium recommendations do not
exceed recommended rates specified by
soil tests.
• For non -variable rate application of P & K,
provide applied map with field boundaries
indicating source, timing, method, and rate
of all applications.
• Where 'chlorophyll reader' technology is
utilized, application records that nitrogen
rates match RYE -based N rates as closely
as possible.
NC-590 Job Sheet May 2015 page 4

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
The producer is responsible for safe operation and
maintenance of this practice, including all
equipment. Review the plan periodically to
determine if adjustments or modifications -to the
plan are needed. In NC, animal operations
permitting provisions may specify more frequent
review periods. Adhere to the following operation
and maintenance provisions:
® Protect fertilizer and organic by-product
storage facilities from weather and accidental
leakage or spillage.
® Properly calibrate application equipment to
ensure uniform distribution of material at
planned rates.
® Workers should be protected from and avoid
unnecessary contact with inorganic fertilizers
and organic by-products. Extra caution must
be taken when handling ammonia sources of
nutrients, or when dealing with organic wastes
stored in unventilated enclosures.
The disposal of material generated by the
cleaning of nutrient application equipment
should be accomplished properly. Excess
material should be collected and stored or field
applied in an appropriate manner. Excess
material should not be applied on areas of high
potential risk for runoff or leaching.
Disposal or recycling of nutrient containers
should be done according to state and local
guidelines or regulations.

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
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.
OF] Rendering at a rendering plant licensed under G.S. 106-168.7.
Complete incineration according to 02 NCAC 52C .0102. up io 80FOO.-J$
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.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN
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 in the 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 its maximum storage capacity before starting to irrigated does
not leave room for storing excess water during extended wet periods. Overflow from the lagoon for
any reason except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of state law and 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. A good 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. If your 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, if your
lagoon is full, your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an
inventory of spare parts or pumps.
• Surface water 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 lime at the rate of 1 pound per 1000 cubic feet of lagoon liquid volume
until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid pH 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 one or 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 reduce
the 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 of the 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:
E

• 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 with a 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 material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you
should stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge
can be removed without liner injury. If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon
as possible.
Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and heavy metal
content than liquid. Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low
phosphorus and metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the
chance of erosion. Note that if the 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 structure.
Types of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach
of the dam. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility
for ensuring structure safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures include:
• Modification of the lagoon structure -- an example is the placement of a pipe in the
dam without proper design and construction. (Consult an expert in lagoon design
before placing any pipes in dams.)
• Lagoon liquid levels -- high levels are 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
rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater table.
NOTE: If lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving water 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.
