This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking,
overflowing, or running off site. 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 posted in an accessible location for all employees at
the facility. The following are some action items you should take.
1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be possible.
Suggested responses to some possible problems are listed below.
a. Lagoon overflow -possible solutions are:
1) Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam.
2) Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate.
3) Stop all flows to the lagoon immediately.
4) Call a pumping contractor.
5) Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon.
b. Runoff from waste application field -actions include:
1) Immediately stop waste application.
2) Create a temporary diversion to contain waste.
3) Incorporate waste to reduce runoff.
4) Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s) that caused the runoff.
5) Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred.
c. Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinklers -action include:
1) Stop recycle pump.
2) Stop irrigation pump.
3) Close valves to eliminate further discharge.
4) Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.

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
L1 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.
11 Rendering at a rendering plant licensed under G.S. 106-168.7.
oComplete incineration according to 02 NCAC 52C .0102.
A composting system approved and permitted by the NC Department of Agriculture & Con-
F-1 El 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).
21 Mass Mortality Plan
Mass mortality plans are required for farms covered by an NPDES permit. These plans are
ations This plan outlines farm -specific mortality man -
also recommended for all animal opere NCDA&CS Veterinary Division sup
agement methods to be used for mass mortality. Th
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).

Narrative
Field #2 and 3 will be land applied with honey wagon. All other fields will utilize a soild set irrigation
system to apply the waste to coastal bermuda fields.
Small grain overseed crop should be removed by May 1 st to prevent it from shading out the bermuda. If a
chemical burndown is used prior to April 7th then the application rate will be reduced to 30 pounds for
the overseed crop.
An amamal wasteland application setback sheet has been inserted. These setbacks should be followed
when applying waste with honeywagon

The table shown below provides a summary of the crops or rotations included in this plan for each field. Realistic Yield estimates are
Iso provided for each crop, as well as the crop's P205 Removal Rate. The Leaching index (Li) and the Phosphorous Loss Assessment
Fool (PLAT) Rating are also provided for each field, where available.
If a field'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.

OPERATION & ONCE PLAN
Proper lagoon liquid 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 the thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means
that at the first signs of plant growth in the later winter/early spring, irrigation according to
a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the land is 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
rtsaintain 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
irrigate does not Ieave 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 fertilizer 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 Wet 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: a or Mug," holes
1. settlement, cracking, s or bulges
2. side slope stability --slump g
3. wet or damp areas on the back slope
4. erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result of wave action
5. rodent damage
Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to ��y Weition caused e lagoon darn•
winds. These wages can erode the lagoon sidewalls, caused b wave action_ If
A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damageY
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 <in appropnate technical expert.
Transfer Pumps —check; for proper operation of:
1. recycling pumps
2. irrigation pumps
or
Check for leaks, amount of vibrationand ,tmay indicate thaterall pump thethe pump is in nneeunusually
d or repair epagrinding
noise, or a a
repkacement
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 tune
to think about swilching, 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
corning 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 syste�-n
during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to
det=m=e 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 amotmt
(you must also be recording your rainiail for this to work). Knowing this should help in
planning iaxigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may
have an inflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the
lagoon from the surrounding land.
Lagoon Operation
Startup:
1. InImediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil
suxfaces 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. Dniinpipes 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 or 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-).
j. It :is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy
worldng swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full.lagoon
liquid volume. This seedina should occour at least two weeks prior to the
addition of wastewater.
6. l�iaintain 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 iiaaU
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 our 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 waierers, broken pipes and washdown through
proper maintenance and water conservation.
Njuurnize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feelers 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
m.:tumum liquid level and the maximum liquid.leve-v (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 lane summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon
swine for the winter.
The lagoon liquid level should never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest
point of the dam or embankment.
Do not pump the lagoon liquid level lower that 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_
Fret3uently 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 ai mal production is to be terminated, the owneris responsible for
obtaining and implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility of a
pollutant discharge.
Sludge Removal:
Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by:

proper lagoon sizing
mechanical solids separation of flushed waste,
gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or
rrfininuzsng feed wastage and spillage.
Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will:
have more nutrients,
have more odor, and
mquire more land to properly use the nutrients.
Removal techniques:
Flare a custom applicator.
Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper-agimtor impeller
pump through large -bore spriaUc er irrigation system onto nearby cropland;
and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
farageland; mix remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator; haul
and spread onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper pan of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
foiageland; dredge sludge from lagoon with dragiine or sludge barge; berm
an area beside lagoon to receive the sludge so that liquids can drains bark
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. Then
e sludge will contain differt
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 Inner remains
intact.. If you sr:: 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 Brier 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 phosphores, 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.
