The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface 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 important 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. 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. Soil types are
important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange
capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land
eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be
applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per year. 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 DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be
considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for
crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a
growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the
waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
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. Attached you will find information on proper sampling
techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
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.
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 Odom 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 application. No pending 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.
Page 5

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
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 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 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.
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
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 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 courses 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.

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
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 be
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 animal waste
during the crop season.
21 Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and 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 years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3)
years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years.

Required Documentation
The following details of design and materials must accompany all irrigation designs:
1. A scale drawing of the proposed irrigation system which includes hydrant locations, pipelines, thrust block locations and buffer areas where applicable.
2. Assumptions and mmpulabons for determining total dynamic head and horsepower requirements.
8. Computations used M determine all mainline and lateral pipe saes.
4. Sources and/or calculations used for determining application rates.
5. Computations used to determine Me sae of Mms[ blocks and illustrations of all thrust block configurations required in the system
6. Manufacturers specifications for Me irrigation pump, traveler and sprinkler(s).
7. Manufacturers specifications for the irrigation pipe and/or USDA RCS standard for IRRIGATION WATER CONVEYANCE_
8. The information required by this form are Me minimum requirements. It is Me responsibility of Me designer to consider all relevant factors at a particular site and
address them as appropriate.
9. Irrigation pipes should not be installed in lagoon or storage pond embankments without the approval of Me designer.
NOTE: A buffer strip of 25' or wider must be maintained between Me limits of Me Irrigation system and all
perennial streams and surface waters per NC Statutes.

Sheet6
Narrative of Irrigation System Operation
This design is based on a new and expanded system, as the land being added has not previously
been included in the CAWMP for this farm. Producer must adhere to SB515 setback requirements
when utilizing this field, as shown on the working drawing. The field shown will be used primarily for
aenvay applications, however, producer may utilize above ground aluminum piping, and a hardhose
traveller to irrigate this field.

ODOR BEST MANAGEMENT PLAN
Triad Farms #1&2
August 23, 2001
As required by NCAC Title 15A, Chapter 2, Subchapter 2D .1800, the following was prepared as
outlined by NCAC 2D .1803 to serve as a Best Management Plan for the Triad Sow Farm.

Triad #1&2 is owned and operated by Triad Farms, and is located at 470 Rogers Mill Rd,
Magnolia,NC. This farm has a capacity of 7200 sows and their offspring to weaning, 2000 head of
finishing, and 800 head of nursery space. There are 12 flush type buildings served by two anaerobic
lagoons totalling approximately 11 acres in size. The waste generated from this facility is land applied to
approximately 150 acres of surrounding mop land, as outlined in the certified animal waste management
plan for this facility. This farm was originally certified and stocked in 1994. All applicable setback
requirements in place at the time of construction were followed.
Potential odor sources for this facility include, but are not limited to, buildings, manure flushing
systems, anaerobic lagoon, land application of waste, feed storage areas, and mortality disposal. To
address this potential, this farm follows an odor control checklist as required by its General Permit issued
by DENR's Division of Water Quality. This plan outlines how each of these areas are to be managed, and is
attached for reference,
Attached to this plan is a map of the facility and surrounding land. These buildings are natural
vent type structures, therefore, there are no forced air directions shown. Residences, etc... are marked to the
best of our ability.
The owner/ manager of this farm has implemented the Odor Control Checklist and additional
measures described above. The requirements of this checklist are used it as a reference tool for odor issues.

SPECIFICATION FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A SOIL LINER
FOR WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS
---------------------------------------
SECTION 1: CLEARING
All trees and brush shall be removed from the construction area before any
excavation or fill is started. Stumps will be removed within the area of the
foundation of the embankment, all 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 below final grade. Satisfactory disposition
will be made of all debris.
The foundation area shall be loosened thoroughly before placement of
the embankment material.
The lagoon site is to be stripped of topsoil (minimum of 3") and stockpiled for
for use on dike and pad slopes (finished depth of 2-311).
SECTION 2: LINER PLACEMENT
Construction Of excavated and earthfill areas shall be performed to the neat
lines and grades as shown on the drawings. Deviations from this will require prior
approval of Quarter M Farms and/or the SCS. Earthfill shall be placed in a maximum
of 6" lifts and shall riot be placed in standing water. Compaction shall be performed
by the construction equipment or by a sheeps—foot roller, or other equivalent
methods approved by the Engineer. Compaction shall be considered adequate
when fill material is consolidated to the point that settlement is not readily
detectable.
The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed using the approved SCS
materials (is — CL,SC,CH). The materials will be from the designated borrow
area(s). The distribution and gradation of materials shall be such that there will
be no lenses, pockets, streaks, or layers of material differing substantially in
texture or gradation from the surrounding material. Precautions should be taken
during construction to prevent excessive erosion and sedimentation.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN
�roPer lagoon liquid management should be a year-round priority, It is especially
Important to manage levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and
wet periods.
Maximum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the
receivin crop is dormant (such as wintertime for bermudagriss) or when there are
extendefrainy spells such as the thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means
that at the first signs Of plant growth in the later winter/early spring, irrigation according to
a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the land is dry enough to
receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet
periods. In the late summer/early fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the low
marker (see Figure 2-1) to Cow 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
irrigate 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 fertilizer a�plied shZd be
based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not practical to obtain
a soils test each year, the la oon embankment and surrounding areas
should be fertilized with 8M pounds per acre of 10- 10. 10, or
equivalent.
Brush arid 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
hwYy vegetative growth,
NOTF: 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!
I . undesirable vegetative growth
2. floating or lodged debris
Embankment --- look for:
I . settlement, cracking, of "jug" holes
2. side slope stabitiry--slumps or bulges
3. wet or damp areas on the back slope
4, erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result of wave action
5. rodent damage
Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to 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 i�to 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 --- cheek for proper operation of.
I Fe�ycling 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
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 spaxe
parts or pumps.
Surface water diversion features we designed to carry all surface
drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter Outlets,
and parking lot rumoff) 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:
I . 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 technicaJ 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 purnpin
?). This will
give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rain all amount
(YOU must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in
�Ianning irrigation applications and storage, If your lagoon rises excessively, you may
ave an inflow 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
I uid volume. This seeding should occour at least two weeks prior to the
'2
a dition 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.u. 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 Umes 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--mirdmize building water usage and
spillage from leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through
proper maintenance and water conservation.
Minimize feed wastage and spillage b� keeping feeders adjusted, This
will reduce the a -mount of solids entering the lagoon
Managamenti
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 lever (Figure 2-1).
Start irrigating at the earliest ssible date in the spring based on
nutrient requirements and soirloisture 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 I foot to the lowest
point of the dam or embankment.
Do not pump the lagoon liquid level lower that the permanent storage
level unless you are removing sludge,
Locate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid
surface and as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible.
Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-stemmed forage or vegetation,
molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon.
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 rills 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 = be reduced by:

proper lagoon sizing,
mechanical solids separation of flushed waste,
gra�itY 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 slud e and lagoon liquid with a chopper -agitator impeller
pump througg 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; ump into liquid sludge applicator; haul
and spread onto cropland or forage?and; 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, T�e application of the sludge to fields will be
limited by these nutrients as well as any revious 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 lag n liner remains
intact. If You See sin . oo
I 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.

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 mpture 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.
