F] 1-1 Complete incineration according to 02 NCAC 52C G1 02.
A composting system approved and permitted by the NC Department of Agriculture & Con-
F] [71 sumer Services Veterinary Division (attach copy of permit). If compost is distributed off -farm,
additional requirements must be met and a permit is required from NC DEQ.
In the case. of dead poultry only, placing in a disposal pit of a size and design approved by the
171 [71 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
F-1 D the salvage of part of a dead animal's value without endangering human or animal health.
(Written approval by the State Veterinarian must be attached).
Mass Mortality Plan
Mass mortality plans are required for farms covered by an NPIDES 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 waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste
should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the
fields where the waMe is to be applied.
I This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed
before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant
nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in the implementing your w;jste utilization plan in order to
maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally
safe roanner.
1. Always , apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.'
2. Sol[ types are importantas they'have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials,
cation exchange papaci .. ties, and. avzfilabI6 water holding capacltles�.
3. Normally waste shall not be applied to land orod ' ing at more than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but
less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are
established.
4. Do'not apply waste on saturated 'soils , when it is raining, or when the surface is
frozen. Either pf.these conditions may in runoff to the surface waters which is not
allowed -Ijhder DWQ regulations.
5. Wind condifions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems.
G. To maximize the value of the hutrionte for cropa production and to reduce the potential for
pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days
prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will
conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods
in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different applications methods are
not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for
this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the Waste analysis report from
your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which

could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving
waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and the crop type.
Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This
waste utilization plan, if carded out, meets the requirements forcompliance with 1 6A NCAC
2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

ditches, add areas unable to be irrigated, and Perimeter areas not receiving full application rates due to
equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the field listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres
shown in the tables.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates.
The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients
or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 1588 lbs. of plant available
nitrogen per year in the sludge.
If you remove sludge every 5 years you will have approximately 7938 lbs. of PAN to utilize. Assuming
you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 lbs/acre you will need 26
acres of land. If you apply the sludge to earn at the rate of 125 lbs. of nitrogen per 2cre you will need 64
acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estmates of the PAN and the land needed. Actual
requirements could vary by 25% depending on the sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and
application methods,
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that
runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by ' initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water
droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity

Hollingsworth Livestock
Page 4
of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of
the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and
irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrrlgate the acres shown in tables.
Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan
invalid.

This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed for the
crop is not over applied. In many situations the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the
nitrogen limitations. The maximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions.
Your facility Is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the
average of once every 6 months. In no instances should the volume of the waste be stored in your structure
be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour
storm.
It Is the responsibility of the producer and the waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated
properly to apply the correct rates shown in the tables. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of
nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you have receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the
amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to appling the waste.

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 facility to
secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change In the operation,
increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs fbr realistic crop
yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level
of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application 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 that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per
year providing grass filter strips are Installed where runoff leaves the field. (See. FOTG
standard 393 - Filter Strip�.
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated
on conventionally filled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland,
the waste may be broadc - ast 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 that runoff
does not occur oftite or to the 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 or flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
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. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a
high potentual 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 plantrig 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 residenrial property boundary
and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal
waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be
applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips).

12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
Page 7
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned
by he landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach otherproperty and public right-of-ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by
discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands
provided they have been approved as a land application site by a,"technical specialisf'.
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.
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegtation 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 evidences 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 illigal discharge, pollution and erosion.
19. Waste handling structures, piping pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular
basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be
kept an site.
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetation and other crops for direct
human consumption, However, If animal waste is used on crops for direct human
consumption it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications of animal waste
during the crop season.
21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and the bottom elevations of the
temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be
managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to
mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds.
22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually
at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining
element. Zinc and copper levels In the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites
shall be used when these metal approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for
optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept
for five (5) years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3)
years. Waste application records for all other waste shaH be maintained for five (5) years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

OPERATiON & MAINI ENANCE PLAN
Proper lagoon liquid management, should be a year-round priority. it 15 especially
important to m2nage levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and
wet periods,
MaX'Mum storage capacity should be avai
lable in the lagoon for periods when the
receiving crop is dormant. (such as wintertime for bermudagrass) or when there are
extended rainy spel'Is such as the thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means
that at the first signs of plant growth in the later winter/early spring, irrigation according to
a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the land is dry enough to
receive lagoon liquid. This wif) 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 olan will allow it.
Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before starting to
irrigate does not leave room for storing -excess water during extended wet periods,
OverflOW from the lagoon for any reason exc�ept 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- yea--, if needed, to
maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fertilizer a'pplied 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_'410_1 o, or
equivalent.
Brush and trees on the em.bankment must be controlled. This may be
done by mowing, spraying, gra�ing, 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 insp,6�tions of the entire lagoon should 160 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 minimurn, 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

Lag801`1 SUrface—look for.
I - . , undesirable vegetative growth
2. floating or lodged debris
Embinkment—lookfor:
iettlement, cracking, or "jug" holes
'side slope stability —slumps orbulges
3. 1 wet or damp areas on the back slope
-4. 1 6rosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result' of wave action
5. rodent damage
1
Larger lagoons may.be subject to finer damage due to wave action caused by strong
winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening th' agoon clam.
e I
A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential darnage caused by wave action. If
wave actibri causes serious damage to -a lagoon side\vall, baffles in'the I-agoon may be
US -ad to reduce the wave impacts.
Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakenirrg -of the dam. If your lagoon has
an� of t'hese features, you should call -an appropriate expert famiiiiar with design and
construction of waste lagoons. You may need to,provide a temporary fix if there is a threat
" Zte d isch arge on s
of a . However, a permanent soluti - hould be reviewed by the
technical expert, Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipme.-nt is a serious
undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not t)e conducted unless
recommended by an appropriate technical expert.
Transfer Pumps.<heck 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 or 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
�afety time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly ful! lagoon is not the time
to think about switching, repairin!,. or borrowing pumps. Probably, ifyour lagoon is full,
your neighbor's lagoon is full a so You should consider maintaining an inventory of spare
parts or pumps..
Surface water diversion features are designed to carry a// 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. div'er5lon capacity
3. ridge berm hei-ht

identified problems should be corrected promptly. it is advisable to inspect your system
during or immediately following a heavy rain. If te%-.hnica'l assistance is needed to
determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts.
You shovid record the level Of the 12$oon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then
rec6rd the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This VN111
give you an idea of how rnuch your l2goon 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 inflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be see -page into the
lagoon from the surrounding land,
Lagoon Operation
Startup;
I Immediately after construction establish a Completesod cover on bare soil
surfaces to avoid erosion.
2� Fill new lagoon design treatment volume atleast 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 discharoe near the bottom of the lagoon during initial
filling or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of
the lining. a
4. When possible, begin'loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize
bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather).
S. It is recommerided 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
Ifouid volume. This seeding should occour 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 I pound per ! 000 dubic 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 lagoop, the beirter the
lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon 5everil-times daily are
optirnurn for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained
and recharg�ed 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 wate'r' conservation.
Minimize f�ed wastage and spitlage by keeping feeders'adfuisteid', This
will reduce the amount of solids entering tne lagoon
Management:
N'taintain 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 iever (Figure 2-1).
Start irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring based on
nutrient requirement5 and soil moisture so that temporary storage
W,
, i be rnaxim,,zed for the summer thunderstorm season. Si'milarly,
inrigate, in the late summer/early fallto. provide maximum lagoon
storage for the winter.
T he lagoon liquid leveishould never be closer than 1 toot to the lowest
point of the dam or err.L-ankment. .
Do not pump the lagoon liquid level lower -that the permanent storage
level unless you are removing sludge.
Locate float pump ihtakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid
F
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.
Frecluen�ly- 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 b.ushes. to grow or, lagoon darn 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 fo be terminated, the owner is responsible for
obtaining and implementing a closure p,an to eliminate the possibility of a
pollutant discharge.
Sludge Removal: I
Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by:

proper lagoon sizing,
mechanical solids separation of flushed waste,
gravity settling of flushed'waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or
minimizing feed wastagi.and spillage.
Lagoon sludge that is removed annual'i rather than stored long term will:
Y
have more nutrients,
have more odor, and
require more land to properly u---.e the nutrients.
Removal techniques:
Hire a custom applicator.
Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a ch.opper-agitatlor impeller
Pump through large-!:�ore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland,
arid 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 drargline 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 soi I 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 sl dse to fields will be
limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applica. u
tions to that fie!d 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 darnaSe. Close
attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner remains
L
intacL Fyou see -soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should
stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that *,he sludSe can be
removed without liner injury. If the liner Is damaged it must be repaired as soon as
possible.
gludge 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 soii-test phosphores, it
should be applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other
wastes, always have your lag6on sludge analyzed for its nutrient value.
The application of sludge will increase tk� amount of odor at the waste application site.
Extra precaution should be used to obser�ve the wind direction and other condit'lons which
could increase the concern of neighbors.
