CUE ,, VIEW FARM CAW ,UVISION N..2
AUGUST 2002
CERTIFIED ANIMAL WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN
FOR THE CLEAR VIEW FARM
REVISION No. 2
NOTES ABOUT THIS PROJECT:
Important: This document (Revision No. 2) is a modification of the Certified Animal Waste
Management Plan (CAWMP) developed and submitted for this farm by Environmental
Engineering Services (EES) on May 30, 2002. Since the May 30, 2002 CAWMP submittal, the
farm owners have decided to change the mix of animals to be housed at this farm. The current
plans are to grow only finishing hogs or "top hogs" at this farm, leaving the nursery pigs off
completely. The permitted Steady State Live Weight (SSLW) will not be increased by this
change in animal mix, and will in fact be slightly decreased by this action. The infrastructure
specified in the May 30, 2002 CAWMP will not be altered due to the animal mix change;
including such items as the lagoons, proposed spray irrigation system design, cropping
patterns, field sizes, etc. A few CAWMP details will need to be altered to reflect the new
animal mix. The engineer and owners felt it best to reproduce the entire package so references
to the animal waste management details would match the animal mix and be all inclusive
within the same package. Most of the information in this package will be duplicated from the
May 30, 2002 submittal. Only references to the new animal mix will be made below. The May
30, 2002 report is being completely replaced by this Revision No. 2 document.
The Clear View Farm site is an existing swine operation. Within the last year all animals were removed
from the farm before it was sold to North Moore Management, LLC. North Moore Management
(NMM) wishes to continue the farming operation, keeping the same (or close to the same) permitted
Steady State Live Weight (SSLW). NMM plans to change the mix of animals, clear some new spray
fields that are closer to the farm, and install some new irrigation piping in order to modernize the waste
management system. Since the SSLW is not increasing, NMM wishes to revise the existing Certified
Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) rather than apply for a new permit. For continuity, this
revision will try to follow the old plan as much as possible, but many particulars will be reviewed and
updated. Hopefully the plan revisions outlined below will guide the farmer (or the reader) to a more
comprehensive understanding of everyday animal waste management and planning. The reader should
note that the farmer has the ultimate authority to manage his or her waste to best suite his or her
cropping patterns and weather conditions. This plan is only a guide, and should be modified (within
reason) to fit those needs from year to year. Maximums and minimums being discussed should not be
violated and precautions about off -site run-off of animal waste should be strictly observed.
The development of a CAWMP is a dynamic process. This means that one design decision will affect
the next decision, and that decision will affect the next, etc. Also, on -site situations will occasionally
require plan alterations or at least make them differ from those parameters presented in the written
document. Therefore, the reader should use this plan for guidance and for general standards more than

CIE,: VIEWFARMCAV ,REVISIONNo.2
AUGUST 2002
for exact "to the inch" measurements. The farmer/manager however should not grossly exceed the
minimurn or maximum recommendations so as not to violate the intent of the recommendations.
The engineer has tried to weigh all factors in accordance with importance and include as much
background as possible about decisions. For brevity, every decision will not be openly debated within
this report. Eachintensive animal operation and facility operates differently and must be evaluated on
its own merit and the owner/operator's willingness to maintain best management practices or BMA's. It
will be completely up to the farmer and/or system(s) operator to operate the system in accordance with
these plans, to protect the surface water and groundwater of the State of North Carolina, and to adhere
to all rules and regulations related to animal waste utilization.
All specifications within this document are acceptable for use to satisfy the animal waste management
rules found in the publication titled NCDENR, Division of Environmental Water Quality, Title
15A:02H, Section .0200. The reader should refer to this State publication for regulatory details.
The information contained in this document have been shown to be effective if performed in a
responsible manner by knowledgeable persons. It is impossible however to predict all future
operational, environmental, and bureaucratic situations which could cause these plans to need
modification or be revised at a later date. When possible, this document follows the U.S. Natural
Resources Conversation Service (MRCS) design criteria and is not meant to contradict standard NRCS
guidelines or the design criteria of other organizations. Much of the information in this document (plus
Exhibits) was obtained courtesy of the N.C. Cooperative Extension Service.

existsjust down slope from the lower lagoon dike, but this area is not likely to significantly flood due to
its elevation above nearby streams.
Little Mountain Creek is a little over a mile away from the farm lagoons in a straight line. The down -
slope hydraulic path from the farm to the creek is greater. No towns are know to get their water from
Little Mountain Creek immediately down stream from the farm site.
As mentioned earlier, there are several drainage-way/creek areas between proposed irrigation fields.
One of these drainage-way/creeks does not appear on the USGS topo map and one appears as a solid
blue line stream. Exhibits 2, 3, and 14 show these waterways.
The discharge of animal waste to the surface waters of N.C. is prohibited. Therefore no effluent should
be allowed to make its way into the nearby streams and rivers. While no animal farming operation is
completely safe from wastewater spillage accidents, adhering to the safety guidelines within this
document and careful management should greatly minimize any such accidents. A sudden dam breach
causing a significant release of effluent is very unlikely. EES did not do a stability analysis on the
earthen lagoon dikes and did not witness their construction. Therefore dike stability is not being
certified by the engineer. Lagoon and earthen dike construction was reportedly supervised by the
Richmond County NRCS. In the event of an effluent discharge, the effluent would be subject to
dilution prior to it reaching any public water supply intake. While the effects of any such an occurrence
is serious, the engineer believes any major threat to a drinking water supply is minimal and would not
have dramatic and prolonged effects on the availability of the drinking water supply. Stream aquatic life
would be in jeopardy associated with any sudden or prolonged release of animal waste. The extent of
such an accident would depend on the quantity and quality of the effluent spilled.
Animal Waste Related Set -Backs or Buffers
There are numerous regulations related to set -backs and buffers from intensive livestock operations.
Most of the more stringent set -backs relate to swine production and swine waste. Unfortunately set-
back values are subject to rapid change due to legislation, making them hard to always follow. The
engineer has made an attempt to list the appropriate set -backs below according to the .0200 regulations,
General Statue 106 (Senate Bill 1080), Senate Bill 1217, House Bill 515, etc. as of this report date.
Tables 1 and 2 show various buffers or set -backs that apply to swine and dairy operations. Table 1
shows set -backs from new or expanding facilities and Table 2 shows minimum distances from waste
application areas. The reader should note that the set -backs shown are dependent on the time the farm
was sited. Be it noted that the Clear View Farm is not a new farm, but some of the proposed
sprayfields are new. Therefore the engineer is recommending the most recent set -backs shown in Table
2 be used for irrigation design. Wind conditions, neighbor activities, crop growth, temperatures, etc.
may require that buffers be increased. The irrigation operator should be particularly careful to avoid
spray drift if irrigating on windy days. Always protect surface waters near application sites, even if it
means increasing set -back distances.

1- This setback has not been confirmed, but it is considered a good recommendation.
Facilities would include the confinement houses, feed bins, lagoon, lagoon dam, etc. Access roads,
stormwater control devices (i.e. grass water ways), irrigation fields, piping, etc. are not part er the
facilities under the above set -back limitations according to the engineer's understanding. However the
grower should refer to legal counsel and/or regulatory agencies to confirm these opinions since there is
much regulatory confusion about such matters.
Clear View Farm is not new or expanding SSLW. The building renovations proposed will take place in
the same building sites as the old confinement houses. Based on its age, not exceeding the same
permitted SSLW, and from conversation with DWQ the engineer believes that Clear View Farm meets
the facility set -backs mentioned in Table 1.

+= Typical right-of-ways; from secondary roads in NC is 30 feet from the center line of the road. This means to
stay 25 feet away from the right of way or a total of 55 feet from the center line of the road. The engineer would
suggest a buffer of at least 75 feet from public road right-of-ways if using big gun irrigation to avoid unpleasant
accidents, especially in windy conditions. 50 feet from center line is recommended if using a "honey wagon" to
broadcast near public road fight -of -ways.
++ = A light application of effluent over grass water ways to maintain a good grass cover is acceptable. This is
different from deep groundwater lowering ditches or very steep water ways. Use good judgment and plan this
type of activity away from rain events. Do not irrigate in wet lands. Do not heavily apply waste in valleys which
are subject to high rainfall out off or in wet weather drainage ways. 100 feet buffers from perennial water (i.e.
blue line streams) are recommended by the engineer for all fields that are steep or difficult.
In the opinion of the engineer, the new spray fields proposed for Clear View Farm must and do meet
the most recent buffer requirements stated in Table 2. As a word of caution, it is the owner's
responsibility to verify any set -backs that are close or questionable and to make sure animal waste
applications adhere to the required set -backs each time irrigation occurs.

iscellaneous Site Details
,ere are no dwellings, structures, roads, or bridges between any of the lagoons and the nearest creek
branch. Little Mountain Creek crosses State Road # 1314 about 1.75 hydraulic miles down stream
un the Clear View Farm but no evaluation of this road or its stream conveyance capacity was made
tce sudden and complete dam breaches on lagoons are very rare.
.evailing winds are typically from the southwest and blow toward the northeast. There are no high
msity residential developments, hospitals, schools, or parks immediately northeast of the Clear View
arm parcel but some individual dwellings do exist in the nearby community. The land application of
aste should not be inhibited by these nearby dwellings as long as all precautions and safeguards are
,lowed.
here is a small cemetery (3 to 5 graves) located east of the confinement houses within field F3. The
emetery is old and overgrown with vines and brush. The cemetery appears abandoned and has had no
bservable maintenance in many years. North Moore Management should be able to use the field
round the cemetery without doing damage to the graves.
)ther than the cemetery, the engineer did not observe any unusual natural or archeological features at
he farm. No endangered or threatened wildlife species were noted. Much of the land proposed for
Ipplication has been in agricultural production for many years. Other portions of the new sprayfield sites
nave historically been woodland, until recently cut -over by the previous landowner. Recently cut -over
and will need to be cleared of stumps and woody debris prior to planting crops. A few acres of
aroposed sprayfields will need to be cleared of standing young pine trees.
There are wetlands near the creeks between proposed spray irrigation areas. These wetlands are
typically within 75 feet of the creek run, therefore the new sprayfields should not impact the wetlands.
Animal Populations and Related Information
Swine waste will be removed from the houses by water and either flushed or drained into the lagoon
system. Clear View Farm will land apply a liquid swine effluent on a routine basis as a means of waste
management. There will be sludge to land apply sometime in the future. Without a detailed sludge
analysis, the engineer has chosen to wait and address sludge applications when the need arises. All
swine waste will be irrigated onto growing crops as a means of utilization.
NMM wishes to keep or slightly lower the Steady State Live Weight (SSLW) for Clear View Farm, but
plans are to change the animal composition as mentioned earlier in this plan. At this time, predicted
nitrogen availability, based on "book values", will be the limiting factor for animal numbers. This means
in the first few years of operation, there may be less SSLW than the permit specifies. The reader will
note that once the farm is up and running at full capacity, the lagoons have had time to stabilize, and a
history of waste analyses is achieved, the farm "may" be able to increase the number of animals at the
farm to closer match the currently permitted SSLW. This is an option the farm would like to keep open
to them. However, since this a regulatory matter, EES will discuss the number of hogs allowed
according to the nitrogen limits and discuss the SSLW at those values. More will be said about animal
numbers later in this document. Table 3 shows a summary of the proposed animal populations at the
Clear View Farm.

BRIEF REVIEW OF THE CLEAR VIEW FARM LAGOONS
General
The Clear View Farm site has been in operation for over 20 years. Clear View Farm has 2 single stage
lagoons at the farm, an upper and a lower lagoon. Both lagoons are reported to have been designed by
the NRCS, and they most likely witnessed lagoon construction. EES did not evaluate earthen dike
construction, stability, or compaction.
Both lagoons at Clear View Farm are single stage lagoons and do not share water sources. There is no
cross -over pipes between the two lagoons. The lower lagoon is made so it its high water level is more
or less at the outside toe of the upper lagoon dike.
Lagoon Shape and Flows
Both lagoons at this farm are somewhat rectangle in surface area and trapezoidal in cross section. The
interiors of the lagoons are assumed to be lined with clay but liner materials could not be viewed
because of existing effluent. Both lagoons have high water level markers installed, but these high water
level markers were not checked by the engineer.
There will be two finishing floors located just south of the upper lagoon. Waste from these upper
buildings will flow into the upper lagoon only. Two additional finishing floors are located south-west of
the lagoon area at a lower elevation than the previously mentioned housing. Wastewater from the lower
houses will flow into the lower lagoon only. All waste will be drained into the respective lagoon by
gravity.
Both lagoons at this farm have some outside surface drainage that flows into them when it rains. Some
of this drainage can not be altered. The engineer has assumed that Clear View Farm will perform some
minor earth moving work to repair drainage ways and earthen diversions to minimize the influence of
surface water drainage. Drainage areas will be shown in another section of this report.
The inside slopes of the Clear View Farm upper lagoon are all assumed to be about 2.5:1. The inside
slopes of the lower lagoon tend to vary. The dike of the lower lagoon is assumed to have an inside
slope dike slope of about 2.5:1. The other inside side slopes are not as steep as the dike. Both lagoons
are assumed to have relatively flat bottoms. The lower lagoon bottom has a gentle slope toward the
north end of the lagoon.
Exhibits 4 and 5 show graphs of the volume vs. depth of each lagoon. Detailed drawings of each
lagoon are beyond the scope of this evaluation.

Lagoon Capacity Evaluation and Review Methodology
The main purpose of this lagoon evaluation is to make a reasonable estimate as to the total liquid
holding capacity of each lagoon as compared to the standard design for a given number of animals.
The engineer took a limited number of internal lagoon measurements and made reasonable assumptions
on unseen parameters like interior floor shapes, sludge blanket thickness, etc. Based on the on -site
measurements and assumptions, the engineer will develop volumetric estimates for each structure and
compare these volumes to the standard design. Regardless of the adequacy of the volumes deterrmned,
the engineer must assume the farmer will manage his water levels and sludge levels as regulations
dictate.
Exhibits 4 and 5 show graphs of the volume vs. depth of each lagoon. Detailed drawings of each
lagoon are beyond the scope of this evaluation.
Sludge Holding Capacity
Unless raw manure solids screening is used at a hog farm, significant quantities of sludge can build up
on the anaerobic lagoon floor. This sludge is typically removed either via an irrigation program or a
pump and haul routine. Ether way it must be occasionally managed. Design protocol suggests
removing anaerobic lagoon sludge at hog farms every 5 years. There is currently a small amount of
sludge in the Clear View Farm lagoons left from the old farming operation.
The engineer has estimated existing sludge volume in the Clear View Farm lagoons based on personal
measurements and reasonable assumptions. He has also made the assumption that Clear View Farm will
remove this existing sludge along with any new sludge in about 5 years. If not removed the sludge will
eventually take up required liquid volume space. Table 4 shows the estimated existing sludge volume.
The predicted 5 year sludge accumulation volume was derived from a formula developed at the NCSU
Agricultural Engineering Department by L.M. Salley and agrees with NRCS design criteria. Removal
of solids more often will reduce the necessary sludge storage volume, however NRCS standards now
require a 5 year minimum for design. A typical value for sludge accumulation from a finishing operation
is 0.25 cu. ft./lb. of animal weight.

is stored. Evaporation factors associated with the lagoon surface have already been accounted for in the average monthly

Using the NCSU standard values for six month storage needs for a swine lagoon without exterior run-in
does not allow the engineer to assess the true evaporation and rainfall accumulations on the pond
surface during the various months of the year. Using the standard values for six month storage makes
each month equal in terms of swine waste production and rainfall accumulation on the lagoon surface.
Thus it is impossible to "accurately" predict a six month maximum six month storage period. However,
from the values presented in Table 7, the engineer will select the maximum six month water storage
needs and ignore the inaccuracy of the method. Those predicted maximum storage period from Table 7
is from May to October. Values appear in Table 8.

24 Year - 24 Hour Storm Storage
At any time in North Carolina there can occur a severe rain producing storm which can deposit
considerable amounts of water quickly. This fact should be considered when designing a lagoon system
and allowances made to accommodate this extra water.
The standard storm surge allowed in a lagoon system design (i.efor single or final stage lagoons, waste
storage ponds, etc.) is the 25 year - 24 hour rainfall event. This storm event is historically different
between the Mountains, Piedmont, and Coastal plain and can even vary between neighboring cities.
Climatic data from the U.S. Weather Bureau was available to give the designer reasonably accurate
information about such rainfall events. The 25 year - 24 hour storm for the Ellerbe area is around 6.5
inches.
For this storm value, the design engineer is considering the rainfall falling within the interior of the
lagoon and that entering into the lagoon due to stormwater run-off. Table 9 shows the anticipated
storm values.

Normal Freeboard (Second Storm Allowance)
The most recent design criteria established by the NRCS suggests that a second 25 year - 24 hour storm
allowance be made inside the lagoon system before an overflow would occur. The reader should
understand that this second storm allowance is a voluntary allowance for existing lagoons not being
expanded or being modified. The second storm allowance acts as an additional safety net against
effluent overflow in emergency situations or in extremely wet weather. While the engineer does not
disagree with added safety, he also understands that when water levels are allowed to get within a foot
or less of overflow there needs to be a close look at wastewater management rather than added lagoon
volumes. The engineer is recommending Clear View Farm add the second 25 year - 24 hour storm
allowance into their program for safety. Table 1 o shows the second storm allowance values.

;mergency Freeboard
:mergency freeboard is the extra depth added to a lagoon (or holding structure) for safety against a
indoor embankment overflow or over -topping). This extra depth is a safety measure and prevents
later from spilling over the dam, resulting in dam erosion and complete or partial failure. Emergency
reeboard is measured 'From the design overflow to the top of the dam. This zone can not contain water
✓ithout an overflow. The as -built emergency overflows at this farm are as follows:
Measured Emergency Freeboard For The Upper Lagoon : I foot or more (not uniform)
Measured Emergency Freeboard For The Lower Lagoon : No emergency overflow installed
,mergency Spillway Or Overflows
fhe discharge or overflow of swine effluent to the surface waters of N.C. is prohibited. in the
engineer's opinion, if the water level inside a lagoon should exceed the maximum high water level it
should have a predetermined path of overflow in order to safeguard the dam regardless of surface water
nflow or the lack there -of This emergency spillway should be located on undisturbed, firm soil not
rosily eroded or on a very solid surface like bedrock, away from the lagoon data if possible, or in a
)osition where minimal dam height is found. Either overflow pipes or earthen overflows may be used,
wt earthen structures are preferred.
The amount of water to be safely passed by an emergency overflow will depend on several factors and
the degree of safety the designer requires. The emergency spillway should pass the overflow water
without over -topping the embankments or dam. The upper lagoon at Clear View Farm has an
emergency overflow, but it is poorly constructed. The lower lagoon has no constructed overflow.
Below the engineer will list the dimensions of a properly designed emergency overflow.
The engineer recommends that an intense short duration storm is the appropriate approach to spillway
design. Therefore the engineer decided to use a 100 year - 1 hour storm for emergency spillway design.
Weather data for the Ellerbe NC area suggests rainfall during this storm event at 3.6 inches. Table 11
shows the emergency overflow design capacities, including a 50% storm flow increase for unusual
situations.

Lagoon Water Level Markers
A permanent type water level marker shall be installed inside each lagoon or waste storage pond to
mark important liquid levels. The farmer may use some type of pole inside each lagoon so the operator
can tell at a glance the current water level. This measuring device should be well marked and be of a
design which best serves the operator's purpose. An example would be a 2 or 3 inch white PVC pipe
with tees positioned at important water levels. As an alternative the farmer may set a pressure treated
post in the lagoon and install wooden or galvanized markers at important lagoon levels. Each important
marker point should be distinct to easily identify the various levels. If possible the upper end of the
pole should be marked in 6 inch increments. The top of the pole should be level with the top or invert
of the emergency overflow. It should also clearly show the pump -on level and the pump -off level as a
minimum. The pole shall be anchored in a fixed position and not vary with water level. Exhibits 4 and 5
show graphs of the lagoon water levels and depths along with important water levels.

overflow even if there need be only one 25 year - 24 hour stone storage required for this lagoon. Please
remember, the emergency overflow is NOT the top of the data.
• There is not a constructed emergency overflow on the lower lagoon. This value is measured from the emergency
overflow as it will most likely be installed. See Exhibit 5 for a graph.
Effluent Storage Capacity Conclusions
The following conclusions can be made about the existing lagoons:
A. Upper Lagoon —
• The total volume in the upper lagoon is adequate for more than 1,623 finishing hogs. Theoretical
values suggest a little over 9 months of storage should be available on average for excess
wastewater accumulation. All storage estimates are based on the lagoon water being at minimal
levels when the storage period begins.
• The upper lagoon has some sludge content now. The existing sludge blanket and the accumulating
sludge should not inhibit the use of this lagoon for the next 5 years, but it should be addressed at or
before that time.
• Volumetrically speaking, the upper lagoon at Clear View Farm meets or exceeds the NRCS design
standards for when it was built. The farmer must begin pumping effluent before it gets higher than
18 inches below the emergency overflow. This leaves room for two 25 year - 24 hour storms. The
lagoon water level can not be lowered more than 7.0 feet below the overflow level.

Nitrogen
Nitrogen is a fundamental part of all life on earth. It is used in relatively large amounts by most living
things. Nitrogen is the most abundant element in the atmosphere (in a gas form) but is relatively rare in
rocks, minerals, and soils. Atmospheric nitrogen is very stable and not readily plant available.
Organisms tend to use up nitrogen quickly in a natural setting, thus making it relatively scarce. Under
natural conditions nitrogen is often the limiting factor in plant production. Most plants respond more to
nitrogen applications than to other types of nutrients. Plants must have nitrogen in the inorganic form
(i.e. nitrate and ammonia ions) for assimilation. However we often find nitrogen in a gas form (i.e.
atmospheric N) or in organic form (i.e. like in animal waste), neither form being readily available to
plants. Organic nitrogen found in animal waste must first be converted to an inorganic form. Organic
nitrogen is most often converted to inorganic forms by microbial action. Nitrogen that is available in a
form plants can use is called Plant Available Nitrogen or P.A.N.
Nitrogen is essential in chlorophyll production and in the formation of amino acids and proteins. For
crop production, nitrogen can come from commercial fertilizer, nitrogen fixing bacteria (legumes), or
from organic matter like animal waste. Plant Available Nitrogen or P.A.N. in animal waste is usually
estimated by an equation. Many laboratories like NCDA provide P.A.N. estimations for the client when
they perform a waste analysis. P.A.N. can vary from waste sample to waste sample and is thus most
reliably estimated by using an average of actual test results. When using actual test data the engineer
uses the averaging procedure described in the NC Cooperative Extension Publication AG-439-42.
When actual test data is not available, the designer can use standard design numbers (i.e. book values)
such as those issued by the N.C. Cooperative Extension Service, NRCS publications, etc. Book values
are often used if there are not at least 3 consecutive years of NCDA waste analyses to average.
As a word of caution, NCDA waste testing is only as reliable as the care with which the sample is
retrieved. Therefore the farmer should take extreme care to collect representative waste samples.
The same would be true for soil sampling. The reader can see Exhibit 9 for waste sampling instructions
and Exhibit 8 for soil sampling instructions.
The old wastewater test data for Clear View Farm would be that collected when James Wall owned the
operation. This data would not be reliable or representative of the new operation so the engineer will
ignore any old test data. There are two ways of estimating P.A.N. for farms without existing data. One
is based on average nitrogen production per head and the other is estimating average nitrogen
production per 1,000 gallons of waste. Since both the upper and lower lagoons at Clear View Farm
have some outside stormwater run-in which could dilute the stored wastewater, the engineer thinks it is
best to estimate nitrogen production on a per head basis. Table 15 shows estimates of future P.A.N.
production using book values.

Copper And Zinc
Copper and zinc are trace metals (heavy metals) often found in animal type waste in small amounts.
Plants must have a limited amount of these metals in order to thrive. Copper is involved in plant
enzyme systems,*protein synthesis, seed formation, chlorophyll production, etc. Zinc is involved in
starch formation, protein synthesis, root development, etc. If applied to soil in high quantities year after
year, copper and zinc can accumulate and may eventually reach high enough levels to become toxic to
plants (phytotoxic). Different plants have different tolerances for these metals. Harmful metal
accumulation levels will also depend on the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of the soil. Tables 16 and
17 show these two metals and relative harmful levels. The land owner or operator should always try to
keep the heavy metal levels as low as possible. NRCS, DWQ, etc. recommends that no more than 1/20
of the lifetime metals allowance be applied in any one year, especially if the application is an on -going
event. Soil test data will show existing metal levels and the CEC of the soil. Soil tests for copper and
zinc must be taken at least annually. See Exhibits 10 and 11 for more details about copper and zinc.

Phosphorus and Potassium
Phosphorus is found in various concentrations in all types of animal waste. Phosphorous is a key
element to ensure good crop health. Its effect on crop growth is not as dramatic as nitrogen or
potassium, but the lack of it can cause plant stunting, poor seed formation, and reduced crop yields.
Phosphorous levels in animal type waste will vary depending on many factors so testing will always be
required. Often the operator will land apply phosphorus in amounts beyond what can be taken up by
plants. High phosphorus levels are (typically) more of a problem for surface transport to streams than it
is a problem for plants. This is because the phosphorous strongly attaches itself to soil particles.
Therefore the operator must be very cautious about surface run-off and soil erosion from fields into
streams or creeks. Good buffer strips and erosion controls will help keep phosphorus from getting into
streams.
The reader should also note that recent studies have shown that phosphorous can be forced into the
groundwater (or washed to surface waters) if it is repeatedly applied to phosphorous saturated land. In
the near future the MRCS, DWQ and others will likely adopt more strict guidelines on phosphorous
loading. For now it is best to try and manage phosphorous loadings and minimize its off -site transport.
See Exhibits 10 and I for more details about phosphorus.
Potassium is also found in animal manure and is a very important element for plant growth. Plants use
potassium in quantities similar to their use of nitrogen. The lack of potassium can cause plant stress,
defoliation, or death. Potassium is less mobile in soil than nitrogen but more mobile than potassium.
Sandy soils tend to loose potassium more readily than clay soils. Maintaining good soil pH and organic
matter will help keep potassium from moving below the plant root zone. Potassium is not thought to be
as environmentally damaging as phosphorous. Good buffer strips and erosion controls will help keep
phosphorus from getting into streams from run-off. See Exhibits 10 and 11 for more details about
potassium.
Sodium
Sodium is a naturally occurring element in many soils. Adding sodium to soils through wastewater can
also cause excessive sodium buildups over time. High sodium additions to clay soils tend to disperse
the clay particles which in turn fill the soil voids. Clay particle dispersion will cause the soil surface to
become hard and will severely restrict air and water infiltration, not to mention the stress (or death) it
affords plant life. Adding high amounts of sodium can be done safely if it is balanced with calcium or
magnesium or potassium. Such additions tend to keep the soil pores open and allows water and air
movement.
Sodium can cause problems with foliage bum, but this is more of a temporary problem unless the plants
are completely killed. Foliage damage can be minimized by applying high sodium water early or late in
the day, or when temperatures are below 80 degrees F, or on cool cloudy days. Also, fresh water
irrigation soon after sodium wastewater applications can assist with foliage protection. Clay dispersion
problems in sod are the more long term problem. High sodium content wastes, if regularly land applied,
can cause sodium to accumulate in the soil profile and cause the problems mentioned above. Drought
stress on plants is also a concern in addition to the permeability problem. Fresh water due to rain or
irrigation tends to wash the sodium (and chlorides) out of the root zone and thus relieve any adverse
effects over time. However, if balanced with lime or gypsum, sodium problems due to particle
dispersion can be avoided.
23

CLEAR VIEW FARM CAW ,REVISION No.2
AUGUST 2002
Scientists use several equations to evaluate the potential effect of sodium on a soil. One of these tools
is called the Sodium Adsorption Ratio or S.A.R. This ratio looks at a balance between sodium,
calcium and magnesium to see if the ratios are out of balance. The higher the S.A.R. the more out -of -
balance the ratio of sodium is to the calcium and magnesium. Calcium and magnesium tend to negate
the effects of sodium on clay particle dispersion. A wastewater or residual with a S.A.R. of 10 or less is
usually safe to apply on clay soils. S.A.R.'s of between 10 and 15 may cause problems. S.A.R.'s over
15 offer significant risk to clay soils. Sandy soils do not have as much of a problem with clay
dispersion as do clay type soils thus high S.A.R. values are not as critical. However, sodium can cause
drought conditions for plants growing in sandy soils regardless of clay dispersion. The equation for
S.A.R. is:
0.5
S.A.R = (Na milli -equivalent) / [(0.5 x (Ca milli -equivalent + Mg milli -equivalent)]
There is no reliable sodium test data for the Clear View Farm thus it is impossible to predict sodium
levels or derive an S.A.R. However, most types of animal waste from confined livestock operations do
not have high S.A.R. values.
Other Elements In The Waste
Without analytical test data it is impossible to know at what levels other nutrients will occur in the Clear
View Farm waste. However, the engineer believes the effluent should be more or less typical swine
effluent. Exhibit 11 contains the typical nutrients found in swine effluent. Future test results should
always be viewed for elevations in heavy metals, sodium, etc.
SOE S AND NUTRIENT
Estimating Nutrient Application Rates
There is no more important task in the utilization of animal waste than to properly apply it on a '!
particular crop at rates which the plants can utilize. Over application can cause nutrients to be washed
off to surface water or leached into ground water, and under application can result in a poor crop
growth. Proper application amounts are known as "agronomic rates". The proper agronomic rates can
vary from season to season, by crop types, by soil types, by topography, by short term weather'I
conditions, by crop combinations, etc. These values are not to be confused with potential hydraulic
loadings. Hydraulic loadings will be discussed in another section. The key factor to remember is to not
apply nutrients to crops in excess of their ability to utilize these nutrients or in excess of the soil's water
(hydraulic) acceptance rates.
A soil survey map is attached as Exhibit 6, showing the outline of Clear View Farm. This map shows 9
soil types found around the proposed land application fields. Different soil types will have different i
crop yields and different water acceptance rates as already discussed above. �f
The proper application of animal manure onto crops must be a well thought out and planned event.
Planning for the waste application must be done in advance of the need for the nutrients. In order to do
the job right the farmer must collect waste samples for analysis and soil samples for analysis in advance'pl,''
of irrigation and/or broadcasting. If sludge or slurry is scheduled for removal it too should be sampled
and its nutrient values factored into the land application program. See Exhibits 8 and 9 for soil and
24

CIE VFW FARM CAWW, REVISION Na.2
AUGUST 2002
waste sampling instructions. Make sure you collect representative samples. If you are going to apply
slurry, make sure your sample is taken as a slurry.
If long term waste analyses are available the farmer should take 3 to 5 years of data and use these
numbers for averaging P.A.N. See the NC Cooperative Extension Service Publication titled "Use of
On -Farm Records'for Modifying a Certified Animal Waste Management Plan", pub. # AG-439-42 for
additional instructions for this averaging. Also, if farm water use records are available, these should
likewise be averaged. Since test data was not available for Clear View Farm, the engineer used book
values to estimate P.A.N., water volumes, etc.
Soil Testing Considerations
The proposed land application sites at Clear View Farm are new. Until now they have been used for a
mix of crop production, for growing plantation pines, and for natural forests. When all clearing of these
fields is complete, it will be important to collect representative soil samples from these fields. At this
time there is no soils data from which to draw conclusions. In the future the farmer should keep all
records according to the field numbers within this document. It is a wise idea to separate soil samples by
field number when possible, especially if the soils are different or you grow different crops between
fields.
Below are some comments on NCDA soil analyses in general.
l . As a reminder, any NCDA soil report is only one "snap -shot' of the soil conditions. Remember to
collect soil samples annually.
2. Many times soil tests show that soils need lime due to low soil pH. For most crops the soil pH
should be kept around 6 for mineral soils, around 5.5 for mineral -organic soils, and around 5.0 for
organic soils. Lime quantities are shown on each report segregated by soil test. The soil type(s) at
Clear View Farm are most likely mineral type soils and will need some lime.
3. Land applied nutrients from animal waste are not 100 percent available to a crop in the first year.
Some of the nutrients applied this year will become available next year for next years crops.
Detailed discussions about nutrient mineralization and residuals are beyond the scope of this report.
Collect soil samples early enough to study the results before planting crops.
4. The nitrogen requirements shown on these reports are based on agronomic book values and are not
true test results. This means the farmer must go back to nitrogen records to look at possible
nitrogen applications for the upcoming growing season and compare the records to the
recommendations within the latest CAWMP.
5. The phosphorous index (P-I) and the potassium index (K-1) are measurements of the amount of
these minerals in the soil as compared to what plants typically need. In other words, the crops
would not respond with increase health, yield, or growth by adding more of these elements. All farm
soils should be guarded from erosion to prevent surface water impacts, especially if they have high
phosphorous or potassium indexes. When the P-I or K-1 indexes greatly exceed 100 it is a good
idea to minimize phosphorous and potassium in these fields when possible. If P-I values in a
particular field continue to be greater than 300, this field and its waste application practices should
be evaluated by a crop or soil specialist.
6. The copper index (Cu-I) and the zinc index (Zn-I) are measurements of the amount of these metals
in the soil as compared to what plants typically need. Copper and zinc indexes are discussed above.
While some crops are more sensitive to metals than are others, the farmer should try to keep the
25

CLEAR VIEW FARM CAWMP, REVISION N., 2
AUGUST 2W2
zinc and copper (Zn-I, and Cu-I) indexes below 700 (rule of thumb). See Table 17 for a listing of
soil index precautions related to copper and zinc.
7. Past soil test results should be kept by the operator and compared to new test results. Look for
trends or increasing levels of metals. When collecting soil samples, closely follow the soil sample
instructions found in Exhibit 8. Never use galvanized or metal buckets or galvanized tools when
collecting soil samples since these can cause the zinc levels to show artificially high.
Soils To Receive Waste
The soils information presented within this document was obtained from soil survey maps. Exhibits 6
and 7 show USDA/NRCS soils information for Clear View Farm (Richmond County). The soil survey
map shows a single predominate soil type within the new spray fields. According to these sources the

slopes or cool weather applications will require less intensive irrigation.
CROP PLANTING AND AGRONOMIC PLANS
General Cropping Descriptions
Discussions between Clear View Farm management and the engineer were held to determine the
farmer's desire for future crop selection. In general Clear View Farm will be growing bermudagrass in
the warm seasons of the year and small grain in the cool seasons of the year. The reader should
understand that the exact mixture of crops to be grown on any field will depend on the farmer's opinion.
In other words, the farmer may decide to plant one or two fields in small grain in the winter without
planting every field. The engineer will not attempt to give all possible combinations of crop patterns but
will discuss the most likely combinations. A discussion on the cropping patterns will appear below
The majority of the liquid animal waste will be surface applied via a spray irrigation system. The farmer
may eventually use a broadcast wagon to fertilize field fringes, but he prefers to avoid this added
expense unless it becomes necessary. See Exhibit 3 for aerial photograph of the farm prior to
26

Cr AR VIEW FARM CAW ,REVISION N,2
AUGUST 2002
improvements and Exhibit 14 for proposed irrigation field identifications. Crops must be planted within
30 days or be actively growing (i.e. greening) within 30 days of a waste application event.
Table 18 summarizes the various fields to receive animal waste as part of the Clear View Farm
CAWMP. These are new fields that will need to undergo clearing and shaping before crops can be
planted. This melons the field sizes shown in Table 18 are the best estimate the engineer can give until
the final clearing is complete. The field sizes shown were estimated from aerial photographs and from
on -site measurements. Slight changes to field borders should not significantly change effective design
acres.
The crops shown in Table 18 are proposed. The farmer has flexibility in changing the crop
combinations if needed, but records must be kept to show what was grown on each field, how much
yield was obtained, and how much waste applied. Changing a crop combination does not mean
changing crop types beyond those listed in Table 18. A revision to this CAWMP will be needed if the
crop types are altered.
Hybrid Coastal Bermudagrass will be grown in warm weather on every field. Small grain, like rye or
winter wheat, will be planted over the bermudagrass as a cool season crop. Clear View Farm can only
take P.A.N. removal credits for crops harvested and removed from the fields. Burring hay bales or
other crops is not allowed.

Hybrid Coastal Bermudagrass (for hay)
Coastal bermudagrass will be the primary nitrogen removal crop at Clear View Farm. Typically, hybrid
coastal bermudagrass will yield more tonnage than common bermudagrass. Hybrid coastal
bermudagrass produces no seeds but spreads by rhizomes and stolons. Bermudagrass is a warm season
crop and its nutrient uptake is typically greatest in the months from May to August, however it may
actively grow from April to October, depending on temperatures. Climatic and nutrient conditions will
alter growth rates for bermudagrass. About 3 cuttings per year can be expected on most bermudagrass
fields. Rainfall and fresh water irrigation will also play an important role in bermudagrass yield and the
required cuttings.
Hybrid coastal bermudagrass tolerates acid soils reasonably well (pH 5 to 5.5). However it does
respond to liming. A soil pH of 6.0 or higher is recommended for improved growing conditions.
Commercial fertilizer should be applied in split applications, i.e. not all at one time. When using animal

type waste as a fertilizer source applications will occur regularly over the growing season. Nitrogen
uptake predictions will be discussed below.
When establishing, sprig hybrid coastal bermudagrass at 5 to 15 bushels per acre in rows about 3 to 4
feet apart with sprigs-2 to 3 feet apart within the row. If sprigs are plentiful, the farmer can establish by
broadcasting 70 to 100 bushels per acre in late winter and disking in. One bushel will contain about
1,200 sprigs. Best planting dates in the Piedmont and Coastal Plain are between March 1 and March
31. Planting may also be possible between February 15 to May I if weather conditions are favorable.
If irrigated, some planting may spill over into July but this is not highly recommended. Sprig mortality is
lessened when ample soil moisture is present.
The typical yield for non -irrigated hybrid bermudagrass (as a sole crop) is from 3 to 6 tons per acre,
again depending on many factors, not the least of which is soil type and slope. For an Ailey loamy
,and soil, with slopes between 0 to 8 percent, non -eroding, the R.Y.E. for non -irrigated coastal
bermuda hay as the only crop is between 4.7 and 5 tons per acre. When overseeding, reduce
. values were obtained from the NCSU document called "Realistic
these values by 20%. These R.Y.E
Yield Expectations for Soils of North Carolina". If bermudagrass is irrigated with fresh water its yield
can be higher. If the coastal bermudagrass at this farm will be grazed by cattle, its RY.E. must be
reduced by 75% (per NRCS guidelines). The normal nitrogen uptake for hybrid coastal
bermudagrass is between 40 and 50 pounds of N per dry ton of dry hay. If nitrogen is readily
available (as it is with most animal waste application sites) the nitrogen uptake will be closer to
50 pounds of N per ton of dry hay.
If bermudagrass is overseeded with a cool season crop and the overseeded crop is not cut properly in
the spring, it can shade the greening bermudagrass and reduce the subsequent yields. Therefore
s it is
important to harvest the overseeded crop in time to encourage bermudagrass greening.
between April 7 and April 30 in most North Carolina coastal and piedmont counties. Harvesting dates
will depend on the type of overseeded crop being grown. Bermudagrass as a single crop will yield more
tonnage than if it is overseeded with a winter cover crop. However, the total yearly tonnage from the
two crops is usually greater than the bermudagrass by itself (see Table 20).
If the bermudagrass is not being grazed, cut regularly and harvest the residual hay. This is important
when calculating crop nitrogen removal capabilities. Bermudagrass should be cut when it is 12 to 15
inches tall. Regular cutting every four to six weeks during the growing season can be expected
provided growing conditions are suitable. More or less frequent cutting may be necessary. If the
operator is not overseeding, bermudagrass should go into the winter season with 3 to 4 inches of
ass back to 3

this can damage the root system.
Cereal Rye, Annual Rye Grass, or Similar Small Grains
Planting a rye crop (or any small grain) over bermudagrass affords extra flexibility to a waste
management program in terms of spray irrigation opportunities. This endeavor will also enhance
nitrogen uptake on an annual basis, provided the crop is harvested. Planting a crop like rye on top of
bermudagrass is called "overseeding". It is important to remember that overseeded crops must be
managed correctly or they can have a negative impact on a warm season hay crop like bermudagrass
and be counter -productive to the grower. Cereal rye is a winter annual small grain that looks similar to
wheat, barley, and oats. Annual rye grass is an annual grass that looks much like tall fescue. These two

Both cereal rye and annual rye grass should be planted between August 20 and October 31 in the
Piedmont and betweep September 1 and November 15 in the coastal plain region. Planting by October
15 is recommended to provide the best opportunity to get winter growth. These crops have their most
vigorous growth in the spring, and moderate growth in the fall. If winter conditions are not too severe,
some plant growth will likewise occur during December and January. Nitrogen uptake is greatest in the
spring. The fall nitrogen uptake for cereal rye is a little greater than annual rye grass. Be careful not to
plant rye too early in the season if planting over bermudagrass since the bermudagrass may tend to keep
growing and shade the emerging rye.
The most consistent rye stands are obtained from drilling seed into the soil. If overseeding into
bermudagrass sod, make the bermudagrass short (less than 3 inches tall) prior to planting. If drilling is
not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a
disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate for broadcast planting should be 1.5 times the rate for
drilled seeds. Typical planting of rye is 100 pounds of seed per acre if drilling and 130 to 150 pounds
per acre if broadcasting.
If an overseeding onto bermudagrass will take place, the last application of animal type waste should be
applied to the bermudagrass prior to August 31. In general terms, when the small grain (overseeded on
bermuda) is to be harvested, an application of 50 lbs./acre of Plant Available Nitrogen (P.A.N.) may be
applied between September 15 and November 30, not to exceed 30 pounds in November. An additional
50 lbs./acre of P.A.N. may be applied from February to March, but do not exceed 25 pounds in early
February. If necessary a small amount of nitrogen (10 to 15 lbs./acre/month) can be applied in
December and January if called for in the agronomic portion of the waste utilization plan, however it is
best to avoid winter applications unless the winter weather is mild. Do not exceed the 50 poundslacre
of P.A.N. for the fall applications, even if you apply some of this P.A.N. in December and January.
Winter applied nitrogen must be subtracted from fall and spring application totals to avoid the over
application of nitrogen. Total P.A.N. applications onto an overseeded rye crop should be limited
to no more than 100 pounds per growing season.
If rye is overseeded on bermudagrass and will be grazed by cattle, the P.A.N. applications must
be reduced by 25 %, or a maximum application of 75 pounds P.A.N. per year. Cereal rye and
annual rye grass harvests are required prior to heading or April 7, which ever comes first. Harvesting
annual rye grass too late in the Spring can shade out bermudagrass, thus reducing the yield and nitrogen
uptake of the bermudagrass. However, in some Piedmont locations overseeded rye can usually be
harvested by April 15 without damage to bermudagrass. If grazing, allow cattle access to the rye before
bermudagrass emerges. If rye growth is harvested on time it should not significantly shade the bermuda
and reduce bermudagrass yields. If the bermuda is not overseeded it will continue to grow until cool
weather. Usually bermudagrass growth will slow and stop around the end of September.
If the rye will be planted on cultivated soil (i.e. not overseeded on bermudagrass), and will be grazed,
and the stubble reincorporated into the soil before planting of row crops, the total P.A.N. is
recommended not to exceed 60 pounds per year, but this will depend on the frequency of grazing. If
the rye is serving as a cover crop only, not to be harvested, the farmer can land apply waste on the crop
but no nitrogen removal credits can be taken. Without harvesting the farmer must only take credits for
the primary crop, not the rye crop.

CLEAR VIEW FARM CAW W, REVISION No.2
AUGUST 2002
If rye is not grazed, cut rye as needed and remove from the site. Usually this will only occur one time
for cereal rye but can occur multiple times for annual rye grass. Do not cut the rye closer than about 3
or 4 inches from the ground in order to not damage the emerging bermudagrass shoots or root system.
Short rye stubble should be left standing after cutting.

applied more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or from crop emergence (i.e. greening). This table was taken
from data developed by NCSU, NRCS, and the NC Cooperative Extension Service and tempered with the
engineer's experience. Waste with high organic content may require fertilization in advance of Table 19 dates.
Likewise when, applying animal waste as preplant fertilizer it may be necessary to apply a High dose since it can
not be applied after crop emergence. See written explanations about each crop and the associated animal waste

estimates.
General Crop Management Reminders
In order to maximize yield and provide high quality crops, soil samples and waste samples shall be
collected and the analysis incorporated into the desired nutrient application plan. Soil samples shall be
collected no less than one time per year. Waste samples should be collected at least every other month
if the farmer plans to land apply waste through out the year. Lime according to the NCDA soil reports.
Annually the farmer shall compare crop removal rates with nutrient application rates and adjust nutrient
applications accordingly. Do not over -apply nutrients to crops since that can result in crop damage,
environmental problems, and animal health problems when the crop is consumed. Consult seed
companies for exact planting and harvesting suggestions or your local Cooperative Extension Service.
Exhibit 8 includes some information about plant tissue sampling. The farmer is encouraged to collect
plant tissue samples in advance of the need to fertilize and have them tested for nutrients. This is
especially useful if you think you have not applied enough nitrogen to a crop and it looks yellow or
stunted. Plant tissue sampling will help you better tune your waste application for the most productive
crop without over -applying nitrogen. Contact your local Cooperative Extension Service for more
details about plant tissue sampling.
It is suggested that the farm minimize the cutting of grasses and/or other crops in the buffer areas and
field borders. Taller grass allows for better sediment control and animal habitat in the borders
surrounding the fields This is especially important in or near drainage ways or ditches and in areas
where two hillsides converge. The farmer may elect to plant some other type of vegetation in this area
which requires minimal maintenance. Cut buffer zones as needed and minimize the use of commercial
fertilizers in these areas. See earlier comments about riparian buffers next to perennial streams.

Sometimes weeds will try to take over a field of grasses, especially if the grasses have been weakened
by drought or disease. Always control weed growth and strive for a mono -culture crop for a particular
growing season.
NUTRIENT.IND ANIMAL WASTE APPLICATIONS
Waste Application Scheduling
Understanding the more technical points of irrigating or broadcasting animal waste is very important to
its proper utilization. Knowing soil/water relationships and plant/water relationships helps the farmer
decide when irrigation or broadcasting is appropriate. However, it would be much beyond the scope of
this waste utilization plan to dwell on highly technical aspects of land application. The key point to
remember is that the soil must accept and plants must be able to utilize the applied water/waste in order
to avoid surface run-off or gravity drainage. Full plant utilization of the water held within the root zone
is needed to avoid draining nutrients below the root zone. Careful observations of soil/plant and
climatic relationships will help assure a successful irrigation program. To learn more about irrigation
scheduling the reader can obtain a copy of the NC Cooperative Extension Publication Number AG-607,
"Irrigation Scheduling To Achieve Proper Applications Of Wastewater" from their local Cooperative
Extension office. Exhibit 16 shows several irrigation examples that will help explain the general decision
making process.

Table 21 is a very general guide for fresh water irrigation, but may be helpful for wastewater irrigation
as well. On -site measurements and experience must be used to accurately schedule irrigation events.
Sandy soils may require less dry days between irrigation events. Small amounts of irrigation may be
possible without waiting for all the dry days shown. Plant available moisture and other soil/water
relationships will dictate actual times between irrigation events. If crops are not actively growing it is
better not to irrigate.
The operator must use good judgment when applying waste onto crops, His or her judgment, tempered
with crop growth, crop health, rainfall, and other factors will be needed to make a workable application

schedule. The farmer must also adhere to lagoon and storage pond designs and suggested maximum
and minimum volumes. Always know your lagoon or pond level and available storage volume.
Due to the concerns over possible groundwater contamination occurrences, the owner is encouraged to
dings in one place at one time
"spread out' the waste application volumes so as to not concentrate loadings
Heavy effluent loadings can cause nitrogen to quickly leach below the plant root zone.- Several light
applications per month is often better than one heavy application. Monitor soil moisture so that gravity
drainage below the plant root zone is more or less zero.

To facilitate record keeping it is best to keep irrigation records by pull lanes within any given field.
Grassy areas outside of the wetted zones can also be used for waste provided they do not infringe on
set -backs and are listed in the farmer's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If any
crop land receives waste via broadcast, it must be recorded and documented. The details within this
CAWMP revision only deal with irrigated areas.
Table 24 shows the total estimated CAWMP Effective Design Acres for each field by pull lane. This
table is a summary of the effective design acre determination calculations showing each portion of the

such settings were changed the actual effective design acres will also change. The effective design acre
determination was performed using the procedures outlined in the publication titled "Irrigated Acreage
Determination Procedures for Wastewater Application Equipment, Hard Hose Traveler Irrigation
System", published by the NC Cooperative Extension Service, NC State University, publication number
AG-553-7. The reader should note that the engineer took 90 percent of the manufacturer's published
wetted diameter as the actual wetted diameter and used about 70 percent of the adjusted wetted
diameter for deciding on pull lane spacings.

CLEAR VIEW FARM CAW W, REVISION No.2
AUGUST 2002
Animal waste can only be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. The Clear View
Farm land should qualify given the proper crop covers are established and maintained. Erosion could
easily become a problem at this farm in the irrigated fields if crop covers are not maintained. It is
vitally important that the farmer pay close attention to irrigation schedules at this farm. Strong
slopes will encourage surface run off to occur, especially during rainfall events. Creeks
immediately down -slope from the irrigated fields could be impacted by the over application of
effluent'or by a sudden rain storm shortly after irrigation.
Field by Field Land Application Details
Below the reader will see Tables 25 through 28. Each table represents a different set of predicted
values related to animal waste application at Clear View Farm. These tables are of particular
importance since they give approximated waste application values specific to this farm. This animal
waste utilization plan has been revised to show reasonable waste application methodology and nitrogen
management, but it should be clearly understood that it is made to be changed as crop data and waste
test results change. This does not allow the farmer to change crop types beyond those shown in this
plan, but it does allow for the mixing of the listed crops. The farmer should use this plan as a guideline
for animal waste management and not get hung -up on the exact values presented below. Changes in
crop. varieties beyond what is shown in this plan will require a revision to this plan prior to planting.
Tables 25 through 28 were developed with the following assumptions:
I. The farmer will accurately record crop type, waste application amount and type, waste test data,
and crop yield for each field receiving animal waste. Animal waste applications will be adjusted
according to crops being grown, types of waste applied, recent crop yields, and recent waste test
results.
2. The farmer will be able to take the actual crop yields by field number, the quantity of waste
applied, and use the P.A.N. uptake values given in this plan to calculate an annual P.A.N. removal for a
given field. This will be especially important since the waste analysis for a given waste type can change
from season to season.
3. The farmer will be allowed to decide where to apply all animal waste sources. A combination of
animal waste sources (e.g. liquid and slurry) may be used on any field as long as nutrients are not
applied greater than agronomic rates. The farmer can not double count waste applications to any field
even if using different waste sources, (i.e. part dry waste and part liquid waste). Nitrogen applications
are cumulative. Only harvested crops are counted towards P.A.N. removal. Records for the application
of commercial fertilizer on waste receiving fields should be kept.
4. The annual P.A.N. available at this farm has been estimated in Table 15. Future NCDA test
results will cause these values to change. The farmer shall adjust P.A.N. applications according to the
latest NCDA test results. Table 15 values are only useful for developing a new CAWNT.
Explanation of Waste Application Tables --
TABLE 25 - Crop Yields and Nitrogen Uptake
Table 25 shows expected crop yields and their related nitrogen uptake specifically for Clear View Farm.
Option 1 considers bermudagrass as the only crop being grown in all fields. Option 2 considers
bermudagrass as the primary warm season crop and rye as the overseeded cool season crop. This
36

CLEAR VIEW FARM CAW W, REVISION No. 2
AUGUST 2002
particular option assumes this bermudagrass/rye combination is grown in all fields under irrigation. The
reader will remember that the farmer may alter the acres of crops being grown. For example, the farmer
may grow a bermudagrass/rye combination in Fields 1 and 2 and bermudagrass only in Field 3. Or the
farmer may grow bermudagrass only in Field 1 and plant rye in one or more of the other fields. Or the
farmer may use any other combination of listed crops provided the intent of the nutrient utilization plan
is met and the nitrogen -to -harvested crop balance is maintained. Such diversity is allowed but will
require some increased record keeping and on -farm management. The engineer would recommend
keeping'the actual crop scheme as simple as possible to facilitate record keeping and estimating P.A.N.
removal. At least keep the same crop combination over an entire field to help simplify record keeping.
If some fields use Option I and some use Option 2, the farmer must adjust R.Y.E. for the bermudagrass
since its expected yield is different if there is no overseeded crop planted.
The reader will note that the Realistic Yield Expectations or R.Y.E. for the bermudagrass was taken
from the NCSU document called "Realistic Yield Expectations for Soils of North Carolina" and
adjusted for field slope and erosion. The R.Y.E. for the rye was taken from conversations with NCSU
Crop Science Cooperative Extension personnel and from recent published articles about this issue. The
RY.E. for bermudagrass in Option 2 is 20 percent lower than Option 1. This is because the engineer
expects a bermudagrass yield reduction in any field that is overseeded with a rye crop. The reader will
remember that the rye crop may have up to 100 pounds per acre of P.A.N. applied per growing season.
All of the crops are being grown on Ailey soils.
The amount of nitrogen uptake for bermudagrass estimated in Table 25 (i.e. 50 pounds of P.A.N. per
ton of harvested hay) is within the published range for this type of hay crop. The reader will note that
nitrogen uptake is often greater if a crop has an abundant amount of this element present in the soil.
This is called luxury uptake. Using 50 pounds of P.A.N. uptake per ton is a judgment call by the
engineer based on conversations with Crop Science Cooperative Extension personnel.
In practice, if crop yields are reduced, either due to a lack of nitrogen or crop failure, this should be
recorded and the plan adjusted accordingly. If crop yields are increased, the farmer should not apply
more P.A.N. per acre than that shown in Table 26. However, be careful not to apply too much P.A.N.
since drought or disease could come late in the growing season and reduce crop yield considerably. The
values presented in Table 25 are suitable to use until 3 or more years of crop and waste data are
gathered and can be reliably averaged. The engineer does not suggest applying supplemental fertilizer to
the crops unless this is a significant income maker for the farm or if the crops are performing poorly
from the lack of nutrients. All of these crops are to be removed as hay.
Table 25 shows each field and pull lane. This should help the farmer with record keeping and
corresponds to the irrigation layout on Exhibit 14. Keep records for each pull lane on separate data
sheets.

TABLE 26 - Overseeding And Not Overseeding, Two Options
Table 26 shows the effective design acres in each pull lane in each field. This table also summarizes
potential nitrogen removal by crop (and option). At the bottom of Table 26 is a summary of the total
estimated P. A,N. removal potential for all effective design acres is shown assuming the farmer plants all
of these acres in either Option I or Option 2. A summary of the calculated P.A.N. production at Clear
View Farm (in the liquid lagoon waste) is also given at the end of this table so a comparison can be
made. "Ehe reader should note that there are 2 lagoons at this farm and the P.A.N. values for the
effluent will likely be different between them. The engineer has used an average value for P.AN, based
on reported book values.
First considering Option 1; please note that given all of the assumptions for R.Y.E., waste analyses
averages, wastewater generation, etc. the effective design acres under irrigation in this option (24.72
acres) are sufficient to utilize only about 82% of the P.A.N. generated. At the R.Y.F. assumptions
made, growing bermudagrass only on these fields will not supply the nitrogen removal needed based on
the estimates made. If effluent P.A.N. values are lower than that assumed, growing bermudagrass only
might be sufficient. Applying animal waste outside of the irrigated zones is an option to the farmer if
this does not become too time consuming and expensive.
Secondly considering Option 2, please note that given all of the assumptions for R.Y.E., waste analyses
averages, wastewater generation, etc. the effective design acres under irrigation in this option (24.72
acres) are more or less adequate to utilize the estimated P.A.N. production. This option uses 100% of
the P.A.N. estimated to be produced. Option 2 will require more management than Option 1 and will be
slightly more expensive to maintain (i.e. higher seeding and maintenance costs). The farmer may wish
to consider a crop like rescue grass instead of rye if he ever needs to remove more crop tonnage to
counter P.A.N. applications.
This waste utilization document does not specifically address nitrogen application on germinating or
very young crops. Thus the farmer must use good judgment when planting and applying waste to
young crops. Young crops can not remove large quantities of nitrogen thus possibly requiring split
applications. Remember, do not apply animal waste directly to crops scheduled for human
consumption.
Some residual nitrogen carry-over from the organic fraction in animal waste and crop residue will be left
on the irrigated land from year to year. This is called mineralization. This carry-over of nitrogen may
or may not need to be considered as the years progress. Estimating carry-over nitrogen or
mineralization rates is typically not done for animal waste plans. In sandy soils, nitrogen carry-over this
tends to be less of a factor. Be aware of this aspect and do not over apply nitrogen.
As one final point about Table 26, if Option 2 were used in every field and the P.A.N. amounts in the
animal waste were to be lower than estimated, there may be a slight nitrogen shortage that would
decrease yields. While most farmers do not worry about a lack of nitrogen in animal waste, it could
reduce the R-Y.E. shown in this plan. Should nitrogen analyses of the wastewater be consistently less
than book values, the Farmer might increase the number of animals while keeping the total SSLW within
the permitted values. This is why it is prudent to maintain the current SSLW ceiling even if the farmer
typically operates below this ceiling by virtue of animal numbers. Good record keeping of crop yields,
waste analysis, and irrigation volume tracking will be the only way to accurately examine year to year
balances.

TABLE 28 -- Option 2Irrigation Windows
Table 28 shows possible irrigation windows for Fields I through 3 under Option 2 only. It shows some
irrigation every month is possible if crop and weather conditions are favorable (see foot notes at the end
of this table). Irrigating every month of the year would depend on the many factors already mentioned
in this document. There must be a planted and/or growing cool and warm season crop in order to
irrigate in every month of the year. December and January irrigation is discouraged unless Fall
applications of nitrogen have been small. The reader should carefully read all the precautions about year
round nitrogen applications.
The monthly nitrogen applications shown in Table 28 are presented to demonstrate the nitrogen removal
potential of the growing crop. This table also shows expected liquid amounts to land apply in a
gallons -per -acre column and in an inches -per -acre column. The reader will note that the largest one
month application of water for Option 2 is 1.58 inches (an estimated value only). This largest irrigation
month is shown to occur in June. 1.58 inches of water would need to be land applied in split
applications over the month of June. Table 28 suggests Option 2 would result in a nitrogen balance -
more or less. This means the crops are predicted to remove about the same amount of nitrogen that is
applied via irrigation. The reader should disregard very small imbalances in this table since everything
here is based on estimates.
The reader must realize that monthly application rates will vary according to many factors. Also, the
engineer has assumed that liquid effluent will be available to deliver these nitrogen quantities. If the
animal waste effluent is greatly lacking the needed nutrients, or lacking sufficient liquid quantities the
operator "could" occasionally need to supplement nutrients. However, use caution when applying
commercial fertilizers. Consider using slurry or lagoon sludge instead of commercial fertilizer as it
becomes available. Also remember that a few more animals can be housed to add more nitrogen to the
system. The permitted SSLW can not be exceeded.
Option 2 predicts yields of the warm season and cool season crops. These are only predictions and
could easily vary from year to year. The fanner should not apply too much nitrogen early in the
development of a crop just in case the crop fails and yields do not match nitrogen applications.
Because the ultimate outcome of a given crop year is interrelated to the specific activities of that year, it
is extremely important that the farmer closely observe his/her farming details and input values. Good
records are extremely important and a good farmer will make adjustments as needed.
Annually look at nutrients like phosphorous and metals to make sure you are not over applying this or
other nutrients. Crop yields must be figured back into the nitrogen removal equation. Always record
fields removed from all acreage. Also record fresh water irrigation events and the addition of
commercial fertilizer. The reader should be less concerned about "theoretical values" and more
concerned with keeping good records to see what is actually happening at their farm. The reader will
find examples later in this report that help explain the use of the farmer's recorded data.

Belmv the reader will find some examples using tables 25 through 28. These are examples only but
should help illustrate the usefulness of these tables.
EXAMPLE 1 The farmer wants to land apply animal waste to all 3 fields from February to May and
needs to know how much waste to apply each month. He is growing Option 2, or bermudagrass
overseeded with rye. Assume the stands are well established. The upper lagoon is the most full and he
plans to irrigate out of it during this time. The following is a "process" the farmer would use to
estimate the amount of P.A.N. to land apply. The numbers are for illustration only.
1. From Table 28 (i. e. Option 2) he sees the amounts of P.A.N. recommended for February, March,
April, and May and agrees these nitrogen application rates are reasonable for planning (i.e. 21
pounds of P.A.N. in February, 25 pounds of P.A.N. in March, 25 pounds of P.A.N. in April, and 45
pounds of P.A.N. in May, for a total of 116 pounds in these 4 months). These values can be
changed if the farmer thinks it best for his or her situation.
oon
comes
2 h Assume
P A.N. iste January a 1.22 pounds peril 000 gallons.. How does he figuA waste analysis of the upper re the amounttof water tbackplywing
3. For February he needs to apply about 21 pounds of P.A.N. per acre, just as the fall planted rye is
starting its spring growth.
(21 pounds/acre) / (1.22 pounds N / 1,000 gallons) = 17,213 gallons per acre
or
17,213 gallonstacre / 27,154 gallons/ac-in = 0.63 inches
Note: This amount of liquid may need to be put out in split applications. The amount of liquid to
irrigate will depend on weather conditions as well as other judgment factors. The farmer might split
the application to 0.30 inches in early February and 0.33 inches in late February. This becomes
his/her best judgment, but remember that February is not usually warm and dry.
A new waste sample shall be collected within 60 days of an irrigation event. Therefore he/she
collects another sample of the upper lagoon in late March. The result of this sample is 1.32 pounds
P.A.N. per 1,000 gallons of effluent. Below are the calculations showing each month after
February.
March: (25 pounds/acre) / (1.22 pounds / 1,000 gallons) = 20,492 gallons per acre or
20,492 gallons / 27,154 gallons per acre -inch = 0.75 inches per acre.
Apply waste in split applications.
Apt: (25 pounds/acre) / (1.32 pounds / 1,000 gallons) = 18,939 gallons per acre or
18,939 gallons / 27,154 gallons per acre -inch= 0.70 inches per acre.
Apply waste in one or two applications.
May: (45 pounds/acre) / (1.32 pounds / 1,000 gallons) = 34,091 gallons per acre or
34,091 gallons / 27,154 gallons per acre -inch = 1.26 inches per acre.
Apply waste in at least 2 different applications.

The reader will note that May could be a transition month between the cool season crop and the warm
season crop. This needs to be taken into consideration when applying waste. Some or all of May's
waste application may need to be split between April and June. The farmer will be the judge of what is
prudent and appropriate.
EXAMPLE 2: It is very important that the farmer keep track of total nitrogen applied verses the
amount of nitrogen removed. Here is an example of how this might work. Assume the farmer is
totaling up the amount of P.A.N. applied last year and comparing this to the tons of crops harvested.
Table 29 shows an example of how things might look. These numbers are for illustration only.

Table 29 (example) shows that Field 1 had a very close balance of P.A.N. for the crop yields. Less
nitrogen was applied to Field 2 than was taken off by the crops, but a 46 pound deficit is close enough
on this 8.2 acre parcel. Field 3 showed a little too much nitrogen was applied for the total crop yield.
The irrigation operator should cut back on the P.A.N. application on the rye crop in Field 3 to no more
than 100 pounds per acre per year next year. Table 29 demonstrates a reasonably good overall balance
with all fields counted. Seldom will a field remove the exact pounds of P.A.N. applied, but from a
regulatory standpoint and environmental standpoint, it is best to apply too little nitrogen than too much.
Gun Cart Pressure Estimates For Irrigation
The pressure at the nozzle of an irrigation gun can vary somewhat as the cart is moved up and down
hills. The operator can change operating pressures at the nozzle by changing the rpm of the PTO drive
or by several other means. However it is important to look at the maximum pressure requirements to
make sure the nozzle can be operated at the pressures specified. If the nozzle will operate at the correct
design pressure at the maximum total dynamic head, then it can be operated at this pressure along pulls
that require less head. The engineer will list the pump capabilities at the maximum pressure heads as
estimated for the Clear View Farm irrigation system in Table 30.

From Table 30 the highest estimated total dynamic head is about 348 feet or 155 psi. At this pressure
the Kifco-Caprari PTO driven pump Model D3/65 will deliver a maximum of about 275 gpm; which is
more than enough to supply the 117 gpm demand. Kifco pump curves and traveler information can be
obtained from www.kifco.com.
Water Balances
The engineer likes to develop a water balance with the irrigation options to show that there is sufficient
volume within the lagoon to store excess waste between irrigation events. However at Clear View
Farm there are two different lagoons, and the farmer can irrigate out of either one at any given time.
There could be many possible irrigation schedules used to manage lagoon wastewater, so the engineer is
not presenting any graphs or tables showing water balances.
The farmer must adhere to lagoon designs as well as maximum and minimum storage volumes to keep
the water from exceeding high water levels. Always know your storage pond liquid level and available
storage volume (remember we do get hurricanes in NC). Lower water levels in storage systems before
the on -set of long wet seasons. A key item to remember is to keep water levels inside the pond low
enough to store at least two 25 year 24 hour storm before overflow.
There are always monthly variations in excess wastewater accumulation (due to rainfall, ET, and animal
waste) so lagoon water levels will rise and fall monthly with irrigation cycles. The farmer is required to
read the high water levels in each lagoon weekly and record these variations. Earlier tables in this
report assumed a equal monthly excess wastewater accumulation based on the SSLW being produced,
but this is not highly accurate. However, from irrigation estimates using Option 2 (Table 28) the
engineer believes all lagoon water levels can be safely managed.
OPERATIONAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
General
The right animal waste application equipment is extremely important in terms of the farmer's ability to
accurately measure and control the application of animal waste. However, when it comes to properly
operating irrigation equipment (or broadcast equipment) the farmer must be familiar with his/her
equipment and have a good understanding of pump curves, pumping rates, basic math, and possess the
willingness to keep good records. This revised agronomic plan is not intended to be a comprehensive
irrigation teaching manual. The engineer must assume the farmer can take the presented information
and apply it to his or her farm.

CtrA VIEW FARM CAWW, REVISION No.2
AUGUST 2002
Equipment Operation
Each time the traveling gun is set up it will need to be adjusted according to the desired delivery. It is
beyond the scope and purpose of this revision to the Clear View Farm CAWMP to predict all pumping
rates and traveler retrieval rate combinations to achieve the desired application but Exhibits 15 and 16
go into some detail about such matters. The engineer must however rely on the farmer's record keeping
ability to accurately track gallons pumped and nutrient amounts delivered. Adjustments can also be
made in engine speeds (i.e. rpms) to increase or lower irrigation rates but use caution since this will also
change application coverage. The farmer will find it most convenient to adjust gun cart retrieval speed
when changing application volumes. Cart speed will not change the effective coverage or nozzle gpm.
Please note that more water will be applied at the bottom of hills than at the tops. This will be mainly
due to the higher nozzle pressures at lower elevations. The .0200 rates say that the waste can not be
over -applied and there can not be run-off. Therefore the farmer may find it more convenient to set
applications to be correct at low points and thereby apply less on hill tops as the cart is being retrieved.
Otherwise he will need to adjust the delivery rate throughout the pull on hills. Averages can also be
used if over applications do not occur in low areas.
Critical elements of the irrigation process are listed on an example record keeping form attached as
Exhibit 13. The operator shall keep records on equipment repairs, maintenance, and irrigation
calibrations. Irrigation calibration shall be done at least twice per year but monthly calibration would be
better. Information on irrigation calibration can be seen as Exhibit 15. The farmer should consult with
his or her irrigation dealer to obtain more information on calibration or contact the engineer for some
on -site help.
For smooth irrigation, the operator will need to predetermined gun cart paths and travel lanes, especially
in recently cleared or uneven fields. This will be most important between hills and where hills would
tilt the gun cart to the side. A tilted gun cart is more easily turned over and will also alter the effective
coverage of the spray. If needed to smooth out cart paths, remove all stumps and large rocks, and place
soil in gullies and valleys.
Wastewater shall not be allowed to run off any field at any time. Application rates should be as
low as needed to avoid surface nm-off or water ponding. When using traveling guns the instantaneous
application rate is often above continuous application rates, however the duration is minimal so run-off
should not occur. Most soils at this site could accept a loading rate of about 0.40 in/hr or less. Always
use extreme caution if irrigating soon after rain events or in cool weather. Application volumes of 0.75
inches or less per irrigation event are recommended by the engineer. Strong slopes will cause irrigation
volumes to be less or require pull rates to be fast. If irrigation selections are causing run-off, the
operator should change nozzles, increase travel speed, reduce application or pump rates, etc. Changing
gun cart speed is probably the easiest adjustment, but it will not change the application rate. The farmer
should avoid irrigating low areas in the fields or spots which tend to stay wet. Keep good vegetative
buffers between irrigated fields and the creek. The engineer would recommend very limited irrigation or
no irrigation in grass water ways, stormwater channels, and near down -slope grass buffers.
The operator of an agricultural irrigation system for wastewater must be certified. Certification details
are not discussed within this document but more information on the irrigation operators certification
program can be obtained by calling the N.C. Division of Soil and Water Conservation at (919) 733-
2302.

CLEAR VIEW FARM CAWNW, REVISION No. 2

CONTROL PROGRAMS FOR CLEAR VIEW FARM
Odor Control And Liquid Waste Management (apply as needed)
Note: Much of this document's text and exhibits are directly or indirectly related to odor control.
Likewise, bommon sense plays a very important part of any odor control program. The below list of
items is not intended to be all inclusive. Please remember that there already exists an odor control
checklist and an insect control checklist for this farm under the existing permit. These checklists are
shown as Exhibits 17 and 18. The reader should refer to all information related to this farm, including
suggestions made in the attached exhibits.
1. Use common sense and constant observations to prevent pond upsets or overflows.
2. All waste types shall be tested to determine their nutrient content prior to land applications. This
shall be done within 60 days of the start of a waste application event, such as the start of spring
irrigation. Send effluent and sludge samples to the N. C. Department of Agriculture, Plant, Waste,
and Tissue Lab, 4300 Reedy Creek Road, Raleigh, N.C. 27607, phone [phone]. Plant or
crop tissue samples can also be sent for regular analysis. Contact the local Cooperative Extension
Service for additional details and phone numbers. Keep in mind that slurry or solids applications
may alter routine liquid application rates so do not confuse solids and slurry applications with liquid
effluent.
3. Keep grasses and vegetation out of the waste storage ponds and lagoons.. Animal health
consumables, rubber gloves, plastic bags, and trash tend to accumulate in lagoons and ponds and
should be cleaned out regularly. Keep it neat!
4. Stored water levels should be lowered before the on -set of wet weather seasons and in accordance
with on -Farm crop needs. Leave plenty of room for heavy rainfalls or long wet seasons. Review
freeboard requirements and keep enough freeboard for the appropriate storm surges.
5. Regularly inspect all earthen dams and embankments for settling or bulges, side slope stability,
rodent damage, jug holes or pock marks, erosion scars, wave action damage, weeping, etc. Weeds
should be mown at least one time per year and two times per year in heavy growth years so the
operator can see problems before they get serious. Do not allow bush or woody vegetation to grow
on earthen dikes.
6. Do not drive vehicles across emergency spillways. Keep the spillway clear of limbs, tall plant
growth, logs, floating debris, sedimentation, etc. Watch for erosion and settling.
7. Animal grazing on dams and embankments can cause problems and is not allowed.
8. Inspect all dams, earthen embankments, and emergency spillways at least two times per year or after
every significant storm event. The owner/operator shall keep a written record on all inspections,
maintenance and repairs done on the lagoon and or dam.
9. Always maintain freeboards in ponds and lagoons. Allow more freeboard if irrigation pumps are
not readily available for this pond.
10. Try to avoid large rapid liquid level reductions inside the pond. Always observe the inside dam
sides for possible liner sloughing during rapid liquid draw -downs. Repair damaged lagoon liners
immediately. Try to keep draw down no more than 12 inches in 24 hours.
11. Emergency spillways should be kept clear of trash and debris. A good grass cover should be
maintained at and down slope of emergency spillways.

Cl5AR VIEW FN CAwirB, RE•viSION Na 2
AUGUST 2002
12. Avoid unnecessary agitation of the pond when not irrigating. This will help control odors. Take
measures to allow water to flow into the pond in a gentle fashion instead of splashing or cascading.
Wet piping should be placed below water surface as long as the water inside the houses will drain
out fully. Extreme care should be used when filling the lagoon so as to avoid eroding a scar into the
side of the lago6n and exposing undesirable soils. Use temporary flexible drainage pipe if necessary
to transfer waste to the liquid surface. Flexible pipe can be left in lagoon.
13, The termidal end of inlet piping should extend just under the water surface. However, if manure is
scraped or is thick, the inflow pipe may be mounted above the water level. If the pipe outlets are
under water and the pipes are air tight the pipes should be equipped with vapor traps and vents to
prevent gasses from moving back toward the confinement houses. Clean out ports should also be
provided for each set of pipes. USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN INSTALLING PIPES
ACROSS FILL MATERIAL SUCH AS A DAM. CONSULT THE ENGINEER OR NRCS
BEFORE DIGGING.
14. Irrigation pump intakes should be no more than 18 inches below the liquid surfaces of lagoons or
ponds.
15. Take extreme care to select optimum conditions for spray irrigation of wastewater and sludge
removal events. Careful planing will help minimize odors. Irrigate wastewater in dry warm weather
if possible, preferably before 12 noon. Avoid weekend and holiday irrigation unless absolutely
necessary. Try to irrigate when wind is not blowing toward neighbors.
16. New products are being developed to help minimize odors from animal operations. The
ownerfoperator may utilize such products but these should only be done according to manufacture's
recommendations and with caution. Many of these products do not reduce odors and are a waste of
money. Rapid additions of enzymes or chemicals could cause microbial upsets.
17. Keep trash, dead animals, and spilled feed cleaned up and properly disposed. Regularly haul off
dead animal carcasses or seek other accepted carcass disposal methods.
18. In North Carolina prevailing winds blow from the southwest toward the northeast, however they
can blow from any direction at any time (see Table 31). Plant or maintain trees on the west and
southwest side of the farm to act as a wind break. Plant trees between irrigation fields and
neighbors or public highways. Avoid spraying on windy days or when the wind is blowing toward
nearby neighbors.
19. Keep at least 12 inches of air space between the bottom of concrete slats and under floor waste
accumulations.

12. Fly traps which lure flies to them with an attractant will help reduce fly populations if enough of

corners of pits or in hard to reach places. Hang such traps where they will not be damaged by the
animals or by machinery and where they can be maintained. Make sure all manure buildup is
disturbed every 7 days to break the fly breeding cycle. For dairies, check with health inspectors
about fly traps.
13. Clear View Farm will use a rendering company to pick up dead animals once they begin operation.
The company to be used is not known at this time. Dead animal storage will be in bins with lids,
stored away from neighbors, wells, and the highway. This will be their method of mortality
management. The farmer shall make sure all dead animals removed from the farm within 24 hours
of discovery.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Animal Waste Application Safety
A high/low pressure cut-off switch shall be installed and working on all irrigation power units at Clear
View Farm. Should a pipe break or a pipe blockage occur the power unit (and irrigation) will
automatically shut down. Pressure relief valves are low cost safety devices that are recommended on
every system. Most brands for said purpose would be acceptable. DO NOT LEAVE Il2RIGATION
SYSTEM OPERATING UNATTENDED.
Valves to control flow should be of a size and type that is consistent with the volume and material type
being pumped. Animal waste tends to be corrosive. Ball and butterfly type valves tend to be more
durable than gate valves but either is acceptable. Never shut off valves quickly or open them quickly
under full flow conditions. Always fill irrigation piping slowly until the fill with water.
Irrigation system drain ports are to be used to winterize the system and may drain out hundreds of
gallons of effluent if opened. Due to environmental concerns the farmer is required to contain this
effluent by either land application or putting it back into the liquid waste storage system. Effluent from
pipes can not be emptied onto the soil and allowed to drain off -site. Pipes can be purged with clean
water at the end of an irrigation cycle and then drained.
When in operation, an irrigation system is under high pressure and can be dangerous. A sudden release
of pressure in the face can easily blind or even kill an operator. Also if elbows, tees, valves, or other
parts suddenly break off, they will be projected through the air at high velocity. This can be a deadly
missile for the operator. Always use caution around irrigation systems, PTO shafts, tractors and power

never disconnect safety devices. Think before you avtl
When broadcasting liquid waste be careful not to drive into ditches or over stumps. Do not sit in one
place and discharge effluent since this can pond and run off site. Do not let children ride tractors when
operating farm equipment.
Manure spreaders have rotating chains and gears. Loose clothing can easily become entangled in these
moving parts. Also sharp metal edges of the spreader will likely be covered with animal manure and can
cause infection if a cut occurs. Beware of PTO shafts which run broadcast equipment or manure
spreaders.
Always observe sanitary principals around animal waste. Keep your dirty hands away from your mouth,
nose, and eyes when working with manure.

as needed.
54

CI£AR VEW FARM CAW W, REVISION N. 2
AUGUST 2002
Animal wastes can not impact the surface waters of North Carolina. Therefore the engineer wishes
to emphasize the importance of emergency action should there be a spill or similar discharge emergency.
In the event of an emergency or accidental discharge, Clear View Farm management or the irrigation
operator shall take the necessary measures to eliminate or at least minimize the impact of the discharge
and if possible keep it out of nearby creeks. An emergency may be effluent overflow from the farm
lagoons, a dam failure, severe run-off of soil and nutrients due to a storm, a broken effluent pipe, etc.
Clear View Farm management should review Exhibit 19 and other emergency action plans and
develop their own detailed Emergency Response Plan if this plan does not meet their needs. All
emergency action plans should be reviewed with all appropriate persons and employees.
Emergency contacts and phone numbers should be posted in visible locations, like inside the managers
shack or office and near every telephone, The irrigation operator should have a copy. This Emergency
Response Plan should have considerable well thought out detail on what to do in each type emergency.
The plan should address environmental, medical, fire, and storm related emergencies. Update this plan
annually and have regular employee refresher training sessions on emergency preparedness.
Discharge emergencies can happen very quickly and every minute counts. Discharges will probably
flow off -site rapidly giving the farm manager only a short time to react. Therefore making plans in
advance is a good investment and is much less expensive than lawyers or fines. The farmer should take
some time to walk around the site with farm employees and think about possible discharge emergencies.
Ask yourself. which way would a discharge flow?, is there a creek nearby?, is there a natural diversion
that could be diked to stop the flow?, is there any emergency spill containment equipment on site?, can
you drive to the nearby creek to stop a flow before it gets away?, what equipment would you use to
stop a small or large discharge?
Go over these things in your mind and with farm managers and plan out your actions. Perhaps have a
few emergency drills to see how well your people are prepared. Do not neglect this plan. It could save
you a great deal of money and trouble in the future, Discharges to nearby creeks are serious and could
cause you to loose your operating permit and/or your business.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND NOTICES
The farm operator may wish to contact the following people and/or agencies for detailed assistance with
crop selections, irrigation, soil analyses, etc.
• Moore County NRCS office
• Moore County Cooperative Extension Service
• N.C. Irrigation Society

Exhibit 20lists 23 items that each CAA'MP should address. Also the reader should thoroughly review
all the attached exhibits for helpful information and precautions.
Any person or company owning or controlling the property upon which an animal waste disposal system
is in operation shall be responsible for all aspects of the disposal system. The system must be
maintained at all times to prevent direct seepage and/or discharge of effluent to the surface of ponds,

CLEAR VIEW FARM CAW W, REVISION No. 2
AUGUST 2002
Clear View Farm is hereby notified that he/she/they must operate this system in accordance with state
and local laws and regulations. Problems should be reported to the N.C. Division of Water Quality
(DWQ) ASAP. DWQ phone numbers are listed under the emergency action plan section of this report.
Changes in animal steady state live weight, operations, ownership, and/or waste management must first
be discussed with DWQ before proceeding. This is not an option for the farmer but a requirement.
Significant changes in operations, or problems should be duly noted and documented by the farmer.
The project engineer can not take responsibility for the accuracy of all information or conclusions made
by others and referenced herein. Much of the information presented above is based on estimated
conditions, estimated operational capabilities, etc, that are subject to change. When dealing with so
many variables and natural elements it is impossible to predict in advance all operational conditions,
however the concepts and methodology presented above are reliable. The information above is
presented in a detailed fashion so that system operators can recalculate and adjust certain parameters
during the on -going project.
All vegetation receiving animal waste shall be kept in peak condition at all times. This means the proper
fertilization, mowing, cutting, and liming. Overly wet or overly dry conditions can cause vegetative
stress or death, therefore the operator shall be careful to monitor vegetative performance. Baled hay
can not be burned or left to rot next to spray fields. All harvested crops must be removed from the site.
The..engineer takes no responsibility for changes made to the above plan before, during, or after
construction without his knowledge. Nor does the engineer take any responsibility for human losses or
property damages which should occur due to poor workmanship, improper use of machinery, unknown
conditions above or below ground level, legal problems with boundary fines or easements, acts of
nature, "short-cuts" the owner may take in system construction, legislative rule changes during or after
plan development, or improper system operation. Information given to the engineer by the owner or
others and used in these specifications shall be taken as truth if it can not be verified otherwise.
DWQ officials and local health officials are authorized to inspect the system at any time.
It is of the utmost importance that all activities with regards to waste utilization and irrigation be
recorded and kept in a safe place on the farm. Exhibit 13 forms may be altered to include more
data if needed. Good records are essential to good waste utilization practices. Clear View Farm
must obtain and maintain crop yield records, weigh tickets, etc. to verify annual crop
production.
The farm owner must keep a copy of this certified report on the farm at all times. He or she
must adhere to these plans as much as is possible. Alterations in waste management practices
shall at no time violate the intent of this plan.
This document does not contain all specifications, rules, and laws associated with the land
application and management of animal waste. Copies of such guidelines and documentation can
be obtained at the local NRCS office, the regional office of DWQ, or from the Cooperative
Extension Service.

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.
November 23, 2016

d. Leakage from flush systems, houses, solid separators -action include:
1) Stop recycle pump.
2) Stop irrigation pump.
3) Make sure no siphon occurs.
4) Stop all flows in the house, flush systems, or solid separators.
5) Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
e. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed to flowing
leaks- possible action:
1) Dig a small sump or ditch away from the embankment to catch all seepage, put in
a submersible pump, and pump back to lagoon.
2) If holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill holes
and compact with a clay type soil.
3) Have a professional evaluate the condition of the side walls and lagoon bottom as
soon as possible.
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?
d. Did the spill leave the property?
e. Does the spill have the potential to reach surface waters?
f. Could a future rain event cause the spill to reach surface waters?
g. Are potable water wells in danger (either on or off of the property)?
h. How much reached surface waters?
3. Contact appropriate agencies.
a. During normal business hours, call your DWR regional office, phone number: '
/]After hours, emergency number: 1-800-858-0368. 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, the location or direction of movement of the
spill, weather and wind conditions. The corrective measures that have been under
taken, and the seriousness of the situation.
b. If spill leaves property or enters surface waters, call local EMS, phone number: 91l
. Instruct EMS to contact local Health Department.
c. Contact the following for advice/technical assistance:
1) Cooperative Extension, phone number: 9i0 ��7 r��

3) local NRCS office, phone number: -O
4. If none of the above works call 911 or the Sheriffs Department and explain your problem
to them and ask that person to contact the proper agencies for you.
5. Contact the contractor of your choice to begin repair of problem to minimize off -site
damage.

ANIMAL WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN
Richard Bennett
Richmond -County
INTRODUCTION
Mr. Bennett has requested assistance in the design and construction of
an animal waste treatment system. He is to begin with a 240 sow feeder pig
operation by June and plans to expand to a 480 sow operation in three
years. The farm is located approximately one mile west of the Ellerbe
city limites on SR 1314, NE of its intersection with SR 1315.
SITE CONDITIONS
The topography is quite sloping. The houses will be on the top of a
hill and should be naturally well ventelated. The soils on the site
are predominately a sandy clay. The nearest occupied dwelling is
approximately 700 feet to the S/SW.
PROPOSED PLAN
The system will consist of one large lagoon into which effluent and
solid waste from the hog houses will be flushed. The lagoon is designed
to handle the full-scale operation planned. Anaerobic activity will
take place in the lagoon which is designed for one full year's storage.
Water will be pumped out of the lagoon from a 12" pipe which will
extend into the lagoon vertically. A design of the pipe is shown
below. A well will be drilled in the pad area to serve as an immediate
and emergency water source. It is hoped that some rainwater can be
collected in the lagoon to help "prime" the system. The landowner
is responsible for obeying all local, state, and national laws and
securing necessary permits.
All disturbed areas are to be stabilized with permanent vegetation
eitherfescue and common or coastal bermudagrass. Lovegrass might be
seeded to provide immediate hot weather cover. The Rockingham field
office will provide recommendations on specific seeding rates and
seeded preparation and fertilization. Mulching will be part of the
recommended treatment.

The lagoon is designed for a year's storage, but a local truck farmer,.
Hill Carter, will use the effluent on his land when necessary and at least once a year. No problem is forseen in finding suitable-sitesfor
spreading effluent.. The dike on the E, N, and W sides will be cored the width of a bulldozer
blade to help prevent seepage until the pond can naturally seal itself.
A suitable sandy clay material does exists on the site, but there is
some quest ion _as_to where the large quantity of needed fill -dirt will
come from. Some fill is expected to be found in the construction of
both the emergency spillway and the diversion of the NW side of the
lagoon.
MAINTENANCE PLAN
1. Keep vegetation on embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed.
2. Repair eroded areas and vegetate.
3. Apply lime and fertilizer annually or as needed.

ANIMAL WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN (HOGS)
Richard Bennett
Richmond County
_. INTRODUCTION
Mr. Bennett has requested assistance in the design and construction of
an animal waste treatment system. He is expanding his existing system,
a feeder pig operation, to include a topping operation as well, His
present setup is a 120 sow feeder pig operation.
The addition planned will accommodate 1440 top hogs with 3 full cycles
per year. The lagoon for this new system is planned for construction this
summer below the existing lagoon.
Mr. Bennett has applied for FHA financing for this expansion.
The farm is located approximately one mile west of Ellerbe on SR 1314,
NE of its intersection with SR 1315.
SITE CONDITIONS
The topography is fairly steep and strongly sloping. The topping operation
will be located almost due south of the lagoon, on top of a ridge and should
be well ventelated. The soils on the site are predominately loamy sands
with sandy clay subsoil. The nearest occupied dwelling is approximately
1000 feet to the southwest.
PROPOSED PLAN
The system will consist of one large lagoon into which effluent and solid
waste from the hog houses will be flushed through a gravity -flow arrangement.
The lagoon, designed for a year's storage, has a volume capacity 10 percent
greater than the minimum required which should aid in the anaerobic
activity. Water to prime the lagoon will be supplied by the existing lagoon.
Flush water will be pumped from the lagoon through a 12" pipe which will
extend vertically into the lagoon. The landowner is responsible for obeying
all local, state, and national laws and securing necessary permits.
All disturbed areas, including the dike and dam, will be seeded to common
bermuda possibly in conjunction with a annual nurse crop. The Rockingham
field office will provide recommendations on specific seeding rates
and seeded preparation and fertilization. Mulching will be part of the
recommended treatment,

It is anticipated that a local truck farmer will use the effluent
on hisadjoining land when necessary and at least once a year.
MAINTENANCE PLAN
1. Keep vegetation on embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed.
2. Repair eroded areas and vegetate.
3. Apply lime and fertilizer annually or as needed.
