Mortality Management Methods
Indicate which method(s) will be implemented.
When selecting multiple methods indicate a primary versus secondary option.
Methods other than those listed must be approved by the State Veterinarian.
Primary Secondary Routine Mortality
Burial three feet beneath the surface of the ground within 24 hours of knowledge of animal
death. The burial must be at least 300 feet from any flowing stream or public body of water
(G.S.106-403). The bottom of the burial pit should beat least one foot above the seasonal
high water table. Attach burial location map and plan.
Landfill at municipal solid waste facility permitted by NC DEQ under GS 15A NCAC
1313.0200.
Rendering at a rendering plant licensed under G.S. 106-168.7.
Complete incineration according to 02 NCAC 52C .0102.
A composting system approved and permitted by the NC Department of Agriculture
sumer Services Veterinary Division (attach copy of permit). If compost is distributed & Con -
additional requirements must be met and a permit is required from NC DEQ. off -farm,
In the case of dead poultry only, placing in a disposal pit of a size and design approved by the
NC Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services (G.S. 106-549.70).
Any method which, in the professional opinion of the State Veterinarian, would make possible
the salvage of part of a dead animal's value without endangering human or animal health.
(Written approval by the State Veterinarian must be attached).
71 Mass Mortality Plan
Mass mortality plans are required for farms covered by an NPDES permit. These plans are
also recommended for all animal operations. This plan outlines farm -specific mortality man-
agement methods to be used for mass mortality. The NCDA&CS Veterinary Division sup-
ports a variety of emergency mortality disposal options; contact the Division for guidance.
A catastrophic mortality disposal plan is part of the facility's CAWMP and is activated
when numbers of dead animals exceed normal mortality rates as specified by the State
Veterinarian.
Burial must be done in accordance with NC General Statutes and NCDA&CS Veterinary
Division regulations and guidance.
• Mass burial sites are subject to additional permit conditions (refer to facility's animal
waste management system permit).
• In the event of imminent threat of a disease emergency, the State Veterinarian may enact
additional temporary procedures or measures for disposal according to G.S. 106-399.4.

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

The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres ofcropland needed to use
the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements, and proper timing ofapplications to
maximize nutrient uptake.
This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or other by-products,
commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each field in order to supply the indicated quantity
of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is included in the table to ensure that the plan adequatelyprovides
for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation.

applying waste nutrients through an irrigation system, you must apply at a rate that will not result in runoff. This table provides the
maximum application rate per hour that may be applied to each field selected to receive wastewater. It also lists the maximum
application amount that each field may receive in any one application event.

NOTE: Symbol * means user entered data,
The Nutrient Management Recommendations table shown below provides an annual summary of the nutrient management plan
developed for this operation. This table provides a nutrient balance for the listed fields and crops for each year of the plan.
Required nutrients are based on the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements and soil test results, The
quantity of nutrient supplied by each source is also identified.
The total quantity of nitrogen applied to each crop should not exceed the required amount. However, the quantity of other
nutrients applied may exceed their required amounts. This most commonly occurs when manure or other byproducts are utilized
to meet the nitrogen needs of the crop. Nutrient management plans may require that the application of animal waste be limited so
as to prevent over application of phosphorous when excessive levels of this nutrient are detected in a field. In such situations,
additional nitrogen applications from nonorganic sources may be required to supply the recommended amounts of nitrogen.

The Required Soil Test Values shown in the following table provide a summary of recommended actions that should be taken if Soil tests indicate excessive levels of
copper or zinc. Fields that receive manure must have an annual soil analysis for these elements. High levels of zinc and copper can adversely affect plant growth.
Alternative crop sites must be used when the concentration of these metals approach excessive levels. Site life can be estimated by dividing the amount ofcopper and
zinc to be applied in lbs/acre by 0.036 and 0.071, respectively and multiplying the result by 0.85. By adding this quantity to the current soil index for copper or zinc, we
can predict life of the site for waste disposal.
In addition to copper and zinc indices, this table also provides a summary of lime recommendations for each crop based on the most recent soil sample. Application of
lime at recommended rates is necessary to maintain soil pH in the optimum range for crop production .

The following Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization table provides an estimate of the number of acres needed for sludge
utilization for the indicated accumulation period, These estimates are based on average nitrogen concentrations for each source,
the number of animals in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application rates shown in the second column.
Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent. At clean out, this
material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases, the priority nutrient is nitrogen but
other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since nutrient levels are generally very high,
application of sludge must be carefully applied.
Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray fields should not be used for
sludge application. If this is not possible, care should be taken not to load effluent application fields with high amounts of
copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water moving to streams and lakes,
phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a concern.

The Available Waste Storage Capacity table provides an estimate of the number of days of storage capacity available
at the end of each month of the plan. Available storage capacity is calculated as the design storage capacity in days
minus the number of days of net storage volume accumulated. The start date is a value entered by the user and is
defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or
holding pond is equal to zero.
Available storage capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the design storage
capacity of the facility. If the available storage capacity is greater than the design storage capacity, this indicates that
the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated. If available storage capacity is negative,
the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design storage volume of the structure. Either of these
situations indicates that the planned application interval in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the
structure's temporary storage capacity.

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
I. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift,
manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation
or land application. Any discharge of waste that reaches surface water is
prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns
or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the
waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the
waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is
within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste
application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to
secure an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the
operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving
crop type, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for
realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data,
climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that
restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year.
Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but
less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where
runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard
393 - Filter Strips).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste application.
Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land
application field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is applied to
conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the
application does not occur during a season prone to flooding (see "Weather and
Climate in North Carolina" for guidance).
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such
that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does
not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order
to control odor and flies.

8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or
when the soil surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that
the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The
potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered.
10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted
crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient loading rates on
these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted
to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior
to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the
following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from
a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any
residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste
from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995, shall not be applied closer that 25
feet to perennial waters.
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than
those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public
right-of-ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or
wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to
prior converted cropland provided the fields have been approved as a land
application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on
grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other
grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that
causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks,
etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system.
208321 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 8/29/2008 Spe-cification Page 2-
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed
areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as
necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other
woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon
areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be
inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge.
18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate
the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, and erosion.
19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a
regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance
checklist should he kept on site.
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops
for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for
direct human consumption, it should only be applied pre -plant with no further
applications of animal waste during the crop season.

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

WHAT IS NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT?
The conservation practice, Nutrient
Management, is managing the amount,
source, placement, form and timing of the
application of nutrients and soil amendments
to achieve realistic production goals, while
minimizing nutrient movement to surface or
ground waters. The practice, Waste
Utilization, is using agricultural waste such as
manure or wastewater in an environmentally
sound manner. These practices are jointly
accomplished through the development of a
Nutrient Management/Waste Utilization Plan,
which is normally part of a broader
Conservation Plan that addresses multiple
natural resource concerns on the land.
PURPOSE OF NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT
and WASTE UTILIZATION PRACTICES
Your nutrient management/waste utilization
plan is intended to accomplish one or more of
the following objectives:
• To budget nutrients for plant production.
• To properly utilize manure or organic by-
products as a plant nutrient source.
• To minimize the delivery of agricultural
nutrients to surface and ground water
resources.
To maintain or improve the physical,
chemical, and biological condition of the
soil.
To utilize agricultural wastes for
livestock feed or as an energy source.
CONTENTS OF THE NUTRIENT
MANAGEMENT / WASTE UTILIZATION
PLAN
The information provided in this Job
Sheet and the attachments meet the
minimum requirements for a Nutrient
Management Plan for USDA-NRCS
purposes. This Nutrient Management
Plan includes:
1 A plan map and soils map for the area
planned (these may be part of the
overall Conservation Plan).
2. Location of designated sensitive areas
or resources (streams, wells,
sinkholes, etc.) and any associated
nutrient application setbacks, etc.
3. Your planned crop rotation.
4. Results of soil, plant, water tests.
5. Results from Phosphorus Loss
Assessment Too[ (PLAT) or Leaching
Index (LI) as required.
6. Realistic yield expectations for the
crops in the rotation, and their source
if other than default values approved
for N.C.
7. Recommended nutrient application
rates for nitrogen, phosphorus, and
potassium, as well as timing, form,

information), that provides the following:
General requirements of this practice,
as well as additional requirements to
meet the natural resource protection
purposes listed above.
Additional considerations specific to
this plan.
Operation and maintenance
information associated with this
practice.
Because this Nutrient Management Plan
includes agricultural organic sources,
additional items are required in the plan to
ensure proper waste utilization:
• Waste Utilization Agreement (if
applicable)
• Waste Utilization Third Party
Agreement (if applicable)
• Additional engineering design and
operating information for waste storage
structures, transport, and application
system, as applicable. These designs,
and the instructions for operating these
structures, is an integral component of
your overall Nutrient Management/
Waste Utilization Plan.
• Emergency Action Plan to prevent
overtopping or other discharges from
storage structures or facilities, as
applicable.
This plan was developed based on the current
NRCS 590 and 633 standards and Federal,
state, or local regulations or policies.
Changes in laws or regulations may
necessitate a revision of the plan.
BASIC REQUIREMENTS FOR WASTE
UTILIZATION
General
All manure and organic residues must be
applied according to a nutrient management
plan (see the following section, "BASIC
REQUIREMENTS FOR NUTRIENT
MANAGEMENT")
You are required to acquire and comply
with all federal, state, or local permit
requirements related to the handling and
application of manure or organic
materials.
The nutrient management/waste
utilization plan must address all organic
waste generated at or brought to the
facility. A Waste Utilization Third Party
Agreement must exist to address all
organic waste not handled by the nutrient
management/waste utilization plan.
Manure or organic wastes will not be
applied to the following areas:
• surface waters,
• wetlands, unless constructed as a
component in a waste treatment
system,
• soils subject to frequent flooding
during the period when flooding is
expected,
• frozen, snow-covered, or saturated
soils,
• within 200 feet of a dwelling other
than those owned by the producer,
• within 100 feet of a well,
• within 25 feet of surface waters, or
• within any other setbacks as identified
by federal, state, or local laws or
regulations (e.g. NC General Statute
prevents swine lagoon effluent from
being applied within 75 feet of a
residential property boundary or
perennial stream or river if the facility
was sited on or after October 1995.)
Manure or organic wastes will be applied
in a manner not to reach surface waters,
wetlands (unless constructed as a
component in a waste treatment system),
property owned by others, or public right-
of-way.
Sludge that accumulates in waste storage
structures must be analyzed prior to land
NC Practice Job Sheet: NC-590 (August, 2003) Page 2
application. Adequate provisions (available
land and/or third party manure agreements)
must exist to ensure sludge is applied in
adherence to all nutrient application
requirements. All federal and state guidance
regarding the proper testing, handling,
planning, and application of sludge must be
followed for regulated operations.
Since compliance with all applicable North
Carolina laws is the responsibility of the
producer, you should consult the most current
version of the Guidance Memo for
Implementing the Environmental Management
Commission's Regulations for Animal Waste
Management for questions.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR
PROVIDING LIVESTOCK FEED
If applicable, all agricultural wastes or other
organic residues used for feedstock must be
handled in a manner to minimize
contamination and preserve its feed value,
Chicken litter stored for this purpose must be
covered. A qualified animal nutritionist shall
develop rations that utilize animal wastes.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR
PROVIDING A SOURCE OF ENERGY
If your facility is to be used for energy
production, all energy producing components
of the system are included in the Nutrient
Management/Waste Utilization Plan and
provisions for the utilization of residues of
energy production identified. Your Nutrient
Management Plan includes the use of these
residues, if applicable.
BASIC REQUIREMENTS FOR NUTRIENT
MANAGEMENT
General
Application of nutrients must comply with all
applicable Federal, state, and local laws and
regulations.
The realistic yield expectations (RYEs) in
this plan are based on one or more of the
following:
Default values approved by the N.C.
Interagency Nutrient Management
Committee that incorporate soil
productivity information, yield data,
and research with North Carolina
soils, and cropping systems.
Additional information on the default
values may be found at:
www.soil.ncsu.edulnmpincnmkqlindex.h
Documented actual yield data from
the site, determined by the average of
the highest three yields of the last five
consecutive specific crop harvests.
(For forage crops, determine the
average of the highest three years of
the last five years.)
A fertilization rate recommended by
North Carolina State University may
be used in cases where no yield data
or approved RYE values exist for a
crop.
An RYE inferred from a similar crop
on a soil with similar physical and
chemical features may be used for
new crops or in the absence of other
RYE data. This inferred RYE may
ONLY be specified by a certified
Nutrient Management planner.
Erosion, runoff, and water management
controls have been planned, as needed,
on fields that receive nutrients.
Soil Testing
This nutrient management plan has been
developed based on current soil test
results (no older than three years).
Soil samples must be collected and
prepared in accordance with North
Carolina State University or the North
Carolina Department of Agriculture and
Consumer Services (NCDA&CS)
Agronomic Division standards or
recommendations,
NC Practice Job Sheet: NC-590 (August, 2003) Page 3
Soil test analyses can be performed by any
laboratory or program that is certified by the
North Carolina Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (NCDENR), Division of
Water Quality, Laboratory Section,
NCDA&CS Agronomic Division uses the
Mehlich-3 extractant process for soil testing.
Growers who utilize other laboratories must
request the use of the Mehlich-3 methodology
to ensure the test results are compatible with
North Carolina's nutrient management
planning and assessment tools. For statewide
consistency, all laboratories used must
provide fertilization recommendations using
guidelines and methodologies as referenced
at the NCDA&CS website:
www.ncaqr.comla.gronamilabook.htm
Growers are encouraged to use a laboratory
that is supported by field research within the
state.
Soil testing shall include analysis for all
nutrients for which specific information is
needed to develop the nutrient plan.
Plant Tissue Testing
Tissue sampling and testing, when used, shall
be done in accordance with North Carolina
State University or NCDA&CS standards or
recommendations.
Manure Testing
Nutrient values of manure and organic by-
products shall be established for planning
purposes based on laboratory analysis,
acceptable default values, or historic records
for the operation.
When determining actual application rates, a
laboratory analysis is required. State
regulations -require that waste be tested within
60 days of utilization for some operations. In
the case of daily spreading, the waste must be
sampled and analyzed at least once a year.
Acceptable laboratories include the
NCDA&CS Agronomic Division, or others
certified by the NCDENR.
Field Risk Assessment
A field -specific assessment of the
potential for phosphorus transport from
each field (or groups of similar fields)
have been conducted, using the North
Carolina Phosphorus Loss Assessment
Tool (PLAT)
PLAT assesses the potential for
phosphorus (P) to be transported from the
site to surface water through each of the
four primary loss pathways:
• sediment -bound P transported
through erosion,
• soluble P transported through
surface runoff,
• soluble P leached through the soil
profile, and
non -incorporated source P
transported through surface
runoff.
Based on the assessment of each loss
pathway, PLAT produces a single rating
for each field. As shown below, this
rating will identify whether nitrogen or
phosphorus shall be the rate -determining
element in developing the planned
application rate for manure.

Potassium Application — Planned
potassium application rates should
match the soil test recommended rates
as closely as possible. (This is
particularly critical in situations where a
potentially harmful nutrient imbalance
in crops or forages may occur, such as
grass tetany). When using manure or
other organic sources, the addition of
potassium from non -organic sources
may be required.
Other Plant Nutrients - The planned
rates of application of other nutrients if
applicable are consistent with North
Carolina State University or the
NCDA&CS guidelines or
recommendations.
Nutrient Application Timing
Timing of nutrient application shall
correspond as closely as possible with
plant nutrient uptake characteristics, while
considering cropping system limitations,
weather and climatic conditions, and field
accessibility. Nutrients shall not be
applied to frozen, snow-covered, or
saturated soil.
Manure or organic by-products shall not
be applied more than 30 days prior to
planting of the crop or forages breaking
dormancy.
For nutrients applied through irrigation
systems, application equipment should be
properly calibrated to ensure uniform
distribution of material at planned rates
Plan Review and Revision Period
A thorough review and revision (if
needed) of the nutrient management plan
shall be conducted on a regular cycle, not
to exceed five years.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR
MINIMIZING DELIVERY OF NUTRIENTS TO
SURFACE AND GROUND WATER
In areas that have been identified as impaired
with agricultural nutrients being a likely
source, an assessment shall be completed of
the potential for nitrogen or phosphorus
transport from the site. (The streams/water
bodies in this category are listed in the USDA-
NRCS Field Office Technical Guide, Section
1.)
NO
This nutrient management plan IS NOT in
an area where surface waters are
impaired, with agricultural nutrients
identified as a likely source. The Leaching
Index (LI) is not required.
YES
This nutrient management plan IS 'in an
area where surface waters are impaired
with agricultural nutrients identified as a
likely source. The Leaching Index (LI)
is included in this plan.
While the results of the LI does not affect
your planned nutrient application rates,
some additional conservation practices
may be specified in the plan to reduce the
risk of nutrient movement from the field, if
applicable.
IMPORTANCE OF MANAGING
NUTRIENTS
Nitrogen and phosphorus are water
soluble elements and either or both may
be components of organic and inorganic
fertilizers. In soluble forms, both can
move with water as leachate down
through the soil, or over the soil surface
as runoff after rainfall. While nitrogen and
phosphorus exist in different forms and
may move through different transport
processes on the same site, they both
can have detrimental effects on both
surface and shallow ground water quality.
As an example, excess nutrients can
result in accelerated eutrophication with
severe algal blooms and fish kills.
Because of the topography, hydrology,
and other factors in the state, the
environmental problems from excess
nutrients reaching surface water may not
be exhibited near the contributing source,
but rather create water quality problems
far downstream. Consequently, the
Neuse River Basin, Tar-Parnlico Basin,
the Chowan River, the watershed of the
B. Everett Jordan Reservoir, and the
watershed of the New River in Onslow
County are listed as Nutrient Sensitive
waters in North Carolina.
Nitrogen: Nitrogen applied as fertilizer or
organic material is transformed into
nitrate and can move with the water
moving downward into the shallow ground
water and eventually to surface waters.
(Relatively small amounts of nitrogen
reach our surface waters through rainfall
runoff. ) The Leaching Index (LI) is a
NC Practice Job Sheet: NC-590 (August, 2003) Page 7
required part of the nutrient management plan
in some areas of the state with surface water
impairments. The LI uses soils information
and local climate data to assess the potential
hazard from leaching of nutrients, The results
of the Ll analysis and recommended actions
are included in your nutrient management
plan, if applicable.
Phosphorus: Research in recent decades
indicates that, with high soil phosphorus
levels, phosphorus has more potential to be
transported off -site than recognized in the
past. Phosphorus can be transported in
several ways: (1) attached to soil particles
leaving the field through erosion, (2) in soluble
form leaving the field in surface runoff, and (3)
in soluble form leaching downward through
the soil profile, and eventually into surface
water. Unlike nitrogen, the most likely
transport pathway for phosphorus varies by
site, and depends upon such factors as soil
erosion rate, soil phosphorus levels, texture of
soils, existence of buffers, and other factors.
In N.C., PLAT is the tool used to assess
potential excessive phosphorus losses. The
results of the PLAT analysis and
recommended actions are included in your
nutrient management plan, if applicable.
If a site receives a PLAT rating of Low or
Medium, then applying manure at rates based
on the nitrogen needs of the crop is allowed.
It is important to realize that this may result in
phosphorus being applied at rates that
significantly exceed the crop's phosphorus
removal rate. In these cases, the planned
nutrient application rate is not sustainable,
and eventually a PLAT rating of High may be
reached.
OPERATION & MAINTENANCE
You are responsible for safe operation and
maintenance of this practice, including all
equipment. The following Operation &
Maintenance should be conducted:
1 Review the plan annually to determine if
adjustments or modifications to the plan
are needed. (The S.B. 1217
interagency group guidelines
accepted by the N.C. Division of
Water Quality for .0200 operations
specify a plan revision when there are
changes in crops or cropping patterns
that utilize more than 25 percent of
the nitrogen generated by the
operation.) As a minimum, nutrient
management plans shall be
thoroughly reviewed every five years
and revised if necessary. The next
review will be performed in
/d - � — _� 0 13.
2. Protect fertilizer and organic by-
product storage facilities from weather
and accidental leakage or spillage.
3. Ensure proper calibration of
application equipment to ensure
uniform distribution of material at
planned rates.
4. Inspect and maintain the equipment
and facilities used to implement the
Nutrient Management/Waste
Utilization, Plan regularly. Any needed
repairs should be made in a timely
manner.
5. Review the Emergency Action Plan, if
applicable, annually.
6. Records should be maintained for five
years, or for a period as required by
other Federal, state, or local
ordinances, or program or contract
requirements. To ensure adequate
information exists to support sound
nutrient management, NRCS
recommends the following records be
included:
0 Soil test results and
recommendations for nutrient
application,
Quantities, analyses and sources
of nutrients applied (When the
actual rates used exceed the
recommended and planned rates
on inorganic fertilizer plans,
NC Practice Job Sheet: NC-590 (August, 2003) Page 8
records should indicate the reasons for
the differences, e.g. inability to acquire
custom blended fertilizer.)
Dates and method of nutrient
applications,
Crops planted, planting and harvest
dates, yields, and crop residues
removed,
Results of water, plant, and organic by-
product analyses, and
Dates of review and person performing
the review, and recommendations that
resulted from the review.
NOTE: State laws or regulations may
define record -keeping requirements for
some operations.
Ensure that workers are protected from
and avoid unnecessary contact with
inorganic fertilizers and organic by-
products. Protection should include the
use of protective clothing when working
with plant nutrients. Extra caution must be
taken when handling ammonia sources of
nutrients, or when dealing with organic
wastes stored in poorly ventilated
enclosures.
8. Properly dispose of material generated by
the cleaning of nutrient application
equipment. Excess material should be
collected and stored or field applied in an
appropriate manner. Excess material
should not be applied on areas of high
potential risk for runoff or leaching.
9. Properly dispose of or recycle nutrient
containers according to state and local
guidelines or regulations.

System Calibration
Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operation
conditions with relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application rates change
over time as equipment gets older and components wear. In particular, pump wear tends
to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use, nozzle wear results in an
increase in the nozzle opening which will increase the discharge rate while decreasing the
wetted diameter.
You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the design will
alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently the application
uniformity. For example, operating the system with excessive pressure results in smaller
droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the sprinkler nozzle. Clogging
of nozzles can result in pressure increase. Plugged intakes or crystallization of mainlines
will reduce operating pressure. Operating below design pressure greatly reduces the
coverage diameter and application uniformity.
For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to ensure
proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every three years is
recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at several locations in
the application area. Any number of containers can be used to collect flow and
determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because they already have a
graduated scale from which to read the application amount without having to perform
additional calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets, jars, or anything with a uniform
opening and cross-section can be used provided the liquid collected can be easily
transferred to a scaled container for measuring.
For stationary sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly throughout the
application area at several distances from sprinklers. For traveling guns, sprinklers
should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direction of pull. Set out
collection containers 25 feet apart along the transect on both sides of the gun cart. You
should compute the average application rate for all nonuniformity of the application. On a
windless day, variation between containers of more than 30 percent is cause for concern.
You should contact your irrigation dealer or technical specialist for assistance.
*Reprinted for Certification Training for Operations of Animal Waste Management Systems Manual
OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN
Proper lagoon management should be a year-round priority. It is especially important to manage
levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and wet periods.
Maximum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the receiving crop is
dormant (such as wintertime for bermudagrass) or when there are extended rainy spells such as a
thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means that at the first sign of plant growth in the
later winter / early spring, irrigation according to a farm waste management plan should be done
whenever the land in dry enough to receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in
the lagoon for future wet periods. In the late summer / early fall the lagoon should be pumped down
to the low marker (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage. Every effort should be made to
maintain the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as long as the weather and waste utilization
plan will allow it.
Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before starting to irrigated does
not leave room for storing excess water during extended wet periods. Overflow from the lagoon for
any reason except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of state law and subject to penalty action.
The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following:
Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam. Fescue or common bermudagrass
are the most common vegetative covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each
year, if needed, to maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fertilized applied
should be based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not practical to obtain a
soils test each year. the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas should be
fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or equivalent.
Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may be done by
mowing, spraying. grazing, chopping, or a combination of these practices. This
should be done at least once a year and possibly twice in years that weather
conditions are favorable for heavy vegetative growth.
NOTE: If vegetation is controlled by spraying. the herbicide must not be allowed to enter the lagoon
water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating the waste.
Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of the lagoon
and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. Items to be checked should include,
as a minimum, the following:
Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes -- look for:
1. separation of joints
2. cracks or breaks
3. accumulation of salts or minerals
4. overall condition of pipes
Lagoon surface -- look for:
1. undesirable vegetative growth
2. floating or lodged debris
Embankment -- look for:
1 . settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes
2. side slope stability -- slumps or bulges
3. wet or damp areas on the back slope
4. erosion due to lack or vegetation or as a result of wave action
5. rodent damage
Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong
winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon dam.
A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action. If
wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffles in the lagoon may be
used to reduce the wave impacts.
Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam. If your lagoon
has any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with design and
construction of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary fix if there is a
threat of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the
technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious
undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless
recommended by an appropriate technical expert.
Transfer Pumps -- check for proper operation of:
1. recycling pumps
2. irrigation pumps
Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or grinding
noise, or a large amount of vibration, may indicate that the pump is in need of repair or
replacement.
NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that
you are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform your
pumping system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This will
allow some safety time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly full lagoon is
not the time to think about switching, repairing, or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your
lagoon is full, your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an
inventory of spare parts or pumps.
Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface drainage
waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets, and parking lot
runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste treatment or storage
structures. The only water that should be coming from your lagoon is that
which comes from your flushing (washing) system pipes and the rainfall that
hits the lagoon directly. You should inspect your diversion system for the
following:
1. adequate vegetation
2. diversion capacity
3. ridge berm height
Identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system
during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to
determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts.
You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then
record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This will
give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount
(you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in
planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may
have an overflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into
the lagoon from the surrounding land.
Lagoon Operation
Startup:
1. Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil
surfaces to avoid erosion.
2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before waste
loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes.
3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender on the end of the
pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial filling or another
means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of the lining.
4. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize bacterial
establishment (due to warmer weather).
5. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy
working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full lagoon liquid
volume. This seeding should occur at least two weeks prior to the addition of
wastewater.
6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below 7.0, add
agricultural lime at the rate of 1 pound per 1000 cubic feet of lagoon liquid volume
until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid pH is between 7.5 and 8.0.
7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate biological
activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is recommended if these
conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm season.
Loading:
The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the better the
lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily
are optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are
drained and recharged each day, also work well.
• Practice water conservation --- minimize building water usage and spillage from
leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through proper maintenance and water
conservation.
• Minimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This will reduce the
amount of solids entering the lagoon.
Management:
Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and the full
temporary storage level.
Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the minimum liquid level
and the maximum liquid level. (Figure 2-1).
Start irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring based on nutrient
requirements and soil moisture so that temporary storage will be maximized for the
summer thunderstorm season. Similarly, irrigate in the late summer / early fall to
provide maximum lagoon storage for the winter.
The lagoon liquid level should never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest point of the
dam or embankment.
• Don not pump the lagoon liquid level lower than the permanent storage level unless
you are removing sludge.
• Locate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid surface and
as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible.
Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-stemmed forage or vegetation, molded
feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon.
• Frequently remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or
wherever they are installed.
• Maintain strict vegetation, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges.
• Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embankment.
• Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is full or
before it fills 50 percent of the permanent storage volume.
• If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and
implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility of a pollutant discharge.
Sludge Removal:
Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by:
5
• proper lagoon sizing,
• mechanical solids separation of flushed waste,
• gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or
• minimizing feed wastage and spillage.
Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will:
• have more nutrients,
• have more odor, and
• require more land to properly use the nutrients.
Removal techniques:
Hire a custom applicator.
Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper - agitator impeller pump through large -
bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland; and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or forageland; mix
remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator; haul and spread onto cropland or
forageland; and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or forageland;
dredge sludge from lagoon with dragline or sludge barge: berm an area beside lagoon
to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back into lagoon; allow sludge to
dewater; haul and spread with manure spreader onto cropland or forageland, and soil
incorporate.
Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste
constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different
nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields will be
limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field and crop
requirement. Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3.
When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage.
Close attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner
remains intact. If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you
should stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can
be removed without liner injury. If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as
possible.
Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and heavy metal content
than liquid. Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus and
metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of erosion.
Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil -test phosphors, it should be
applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other wastes,
always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value.
The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site.
Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which
could increase the concern of neighbors.
Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure
Lagoon failures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure.
Types of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of
the dam. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for
ensuring structure safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures include:
• Modification of the lagoon structure -- an example is the placement of a pipe in the dam
without proper design and construction. (Consult an expert in lagoon design before
placing any pipes in dams.)
• Lagoon liquid levels — high levels are a safety risk.
• Failure to inspect and maintain the dam.
• Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon.
Liner integrity -- protect from inlet pipe scouring, damage during sludge removal, or
rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater table.
NOTE: If lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving water will soon cause
gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly cause a large
discharge of wastewater and possible dam failure.
