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 waste
is to be applied. -
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 i mportant in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize
the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner:
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. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials,
cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less 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 of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed
under DWQ regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor
problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential
Z
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 &onserVe nutrients and reduce odor problems.

methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels.for different application
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. 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 crop type. Lime must
be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above.
The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements
In the future, regulations may require farrbers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen.
In interplanted fields ( i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermuda), forage must be removed
through grazing, hay, and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they
reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a
height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care
should be exercised not to let small grain reach matudty, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definately interfere
with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen
being utilized. Rather than cuffing small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is
the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to
consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is
recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of
about two inches before drilling for best results.

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 2643.84 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year will accumulate in the lagoon
sludge based on the rates of accumulation listed above.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 13219.2 pounds of plant
available nitrogen to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermuda grass hayland at the
rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 44 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge
td corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 105.7536 acres of land. Please note that these
are only estimates of the PAN produced and the land required to utilize that PAN. Actual values
may only be determined by sampling the sludge for plant available nitrogen content prior to application
Actual utilization rates will vary with soil type, crop, and realistic yield expectations for the specific
application fields designated for sludge application at time of removal.
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 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
prodtide'r and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly
irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. 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 limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions.
Your facility is designed for >1 80 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of the
waste 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 waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment
is operated properly to apply'the correct rates to the acres 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 receive the waste analysis report for assistance in
determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste.

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 which 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 waste, he/she shall provide a copy 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 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 for 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 tilled cropland. When 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 �pplication. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies.
8 Animal waste shall noi be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.

Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximurn storage capacity before starting to:irrigated does
not leave room for -storing excess water-duririg extended wet periods. Overflow -from thelagoon for
any reason except a 25-year, 24�h6ur storm is a Violation of -state law And subject to pe -aity

The. routine Maintenance.of a lagoon involves the follow nw
Maintenance.of a vegetative cover for the dam. Fescue or common bermuda
grass
are the mostcornmon vegetative covers. Thevegetation should be fertilized each
year, if needed, to maintain a vigorous stand. e
The amount of fertili.z d 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 area . s should . be
fertilized.with, 800 pounds Per acre of 40-10-10., or equivalent.
Brush and trees on the embanki-nefit must be controlled. This may be done by
mowing, spraying, grazing, chopping, or a combination Of -these practices. This

Maintenance inspections of the entire' lagoon should be rhade during the initial filling -of the -lagoon
and at least monthly and after major rain -fall and storm events. Items to be 'checked shodd

have an overflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into
the lagoon from the surrounding land.
Lagoon O.peration

Immediately after construction establish a c
ornplete sod cover on bare -soil
suffaces-to-a-void erosion.
2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume. at least half full of water before waste
loading begins, taking care n.Qt 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 Iini . ng.
4. When possible, begi n loading ne.w lagoons in the spring to maximize bacterial
establishment (due to- warmer weather).
5. It i's recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge� from. a healthy
working swine. lagoon in the arhG'Unt 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 checkon the lagoon. liquid pH.. If the pHfalls.below7.0, add
agricultural time at the rate of 1 poUnd per 10.00 cubic.feet of lagoon liquid volume
until the pH rises'above 7.0. Optimum lagoon tiqUid pH is between 7.5 and &0,

The More frequently and regular I ly 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 build'

Frequently remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or
wherever they are installed.
Vaintain strict vegetation, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges.

limited by these nutrients as well as any previous w ste application . s to that. -field and
a
Crop requirement. Waste application rates Will be discussed in detail . in Chapter 3.
When removing Sludge, y u 'u'
o m st also pay attention to. the liner to prevent 1damage.
Close attention by the pumper or drag4ine operator will ensure that the Jagoon liner
remains in -tact. If you see.soi Imater . ial or the synthetic liner material -being disturbed, y . ou.

The application of -sludge will increase the amour t- of odor at the waste appfication site.
Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions
which could increase the. concern of neighbors.
Post;iblle Causes of Lagoon Failure
Lagoon failures result in the unp - fanned discharge of wastewater from' the structure..
Types of fall'ures -include leakage ithrough the bottorn or! a . ides, overtopping., and breach
of the dam. Assuming propw desig n- and con - struction, the owner has the responsibility
,for ensuring structure safety. Items which: may.lead. to lag . con failures include:
Modification.of the lagoon structure — an example Is -the pla' miant of a pipe in the
ce
dam Wthout proper design and construction. (Consult an expert' in 'lagoon design
before placing any pipes. in dams.)
Lagppn:liqu - Idlevels highlevels are. a safety risk.
Failure to inspect and maintain the dam.
Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon.
Uner integrity m- protect from inlet pipe scouring, damage during sludge removal, or
rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater table.
NOTE: If lagoon water is all -owed to overtopr the dam, the moving water will soon cause
gullies to. form i n t he dam. Once this damage starts, it can quibkly cause ai large
discharge of wastewater and possible -dam failure.

For the above reason, you shoul&calibrate your equipment On a regular �basis to ensure
proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration -at least once every three years is

NOTE: SEE ATTACHED WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
------------------------------
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment with minimum odor
control. The time required for the planned fluid level to be
reached may vary due to soil conditions, flushing operations, and
the amount of fresh water adde'd to the system.
Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable
method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set,
center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be
taken when applying waste to prevent runoff from the field or damage
to crops.
The following items are to be carried out:
1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre —
charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during
start—up. Pre —charging reduces the concentration of the initial
waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be
covered with effluent at all times.
2. The attach-ed waste utilization plan shall be followed. This
plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see Attachment B)
before land application.
3. Begin pump—oult of +he lagoon when fluid level reaches eleva—
tion 52.0 as marked by permanent markers. Stop pump —out when
the fluid level reaches elevation 50.0 or before fluid depth is
less than 6 feet deep (this prevents the loss of favorable
bacteria) .
4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is
one (1) '_ inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.4
inch per hour.
5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the
lagoon,mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed
to maintai n a vigorous stand.
6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and
establish in vegetation.
7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable
outlets.
8. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of
pollutants into waters of the United States. The Department of
Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ—
mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law.
SEEDING RECOMMENDATIONS

SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS
C I ear i ng:
All trees and brush shall be removed from the construction area
before any excavating or fill is started. Stumps will be removed
within the area of the foundation of the embankment and fill areas
and all excavated areas. All stumps and roots exceeding one (1)
inch in diameter shall be removed -to a minimum depth of one (1>
foot. Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The
foundation area shall be loosened thoroughly before placement of
embankment material.
Cut—off Trench:
---------------
A cut—off trench (when specified) shall be installed as shown in
the plans.
Construction:
-------------
Construction of excavated and earthfill areas shall be performed to
the neat lines and grades as planned. Deviations from this will
require prior approval of the SCS. Earthfill shall not be placed
in standing water and reasonable compaction of the fills shall be
performed by the construction equipment or sheeps—foot roller during
placement. The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed using
the more impervious materials. Construction of fill heights shall
includelten (10) percent for settlement. To protect against seepage,
when areas of unsuitable material are encountered, -they will need to
be excavated a minimum of one (1) foot below grade and backfilled and
compac�_-__��:d` with a suitable material (ie—CL,SC,CH) . Refer -to the soils
invest�igation information in the plans for special considerations.
Precautions should be taken during construction to prevent excessive
erosion and sedimentation.
Vegetation:
-----------
All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be
seeded to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after
construction.
