S Please review theattached: plan and specifications carefully. Retain this plan for your use and records. It is strongly - recommended that you, your contractor and the Soil Conservation Service personnel .are in agreement as to .how the waste lagoon is to be constructed. SCS personnel will meet with all concerned parties and walk over the site to explain all flags and markings. It is important that everyone understands what is expected so that final construction meets plans ..and specifications. and the job can be certified for. payment (if ACP .cost —share is involved). The pad dimensions and grades are the best estimate. The. builder or - contractor is responsible for final layout and design of the pads. SCS personnel will assist in. a limited capacity, as its major concern is the proper design and construction ofthe waste treatment lagoon. The actual amount of material required for pads and dam may vary from ' the estimates. The design will attempt to balance cuts and fillsasclose as possible.. If additional material Is required after construction is complete on the lagoon, the contractor and owner will negotiate on the price and location ofthe borrow area. It should be noted that certification of the lagoon will depend upon all specifications beina met.

C Saul(„ �9rvlOOsal'✓� OPERATION AND--MAI-NTENANCE PLAN ------------------------------ This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) with minimum odor control. The time required for the plannedfluid: level to be reached (permanent + temporary storage) may vary due to flushing operations and the amount of fresh water to be added to the system. The .designed 6 months temporary storage is an estimated. volume based on.: 1) waste from animals; 2) excess rainfall after evaporation; and 3). the largest ,24 hour (one ,day)rainfall that occurs on the average of once every 2.5 years. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year. This estimate is based on 7 inches of excess rainfall which is equal to or exceeds the highest 6 months excess in ayear. The average annual excess rainfall is approximately 6 inches. Therefore,. an average a' 8 inches of excess rainfall will: need to be pumped each year. The 25 year rainfall will not be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage volume must always be available. A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin pumping and this is usually theoutlet. invert of pipe(s)from building(s). If the outlet pipe is not installed on the elevation to begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed on this elevation to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established to stop pumping to maintain minimum treatment depth (6 feet). Pumping can be started or stopped any. time between these two elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit (weather, aoils9 crop, and equipment to apply waste withoutrunoff or leaching). 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: It is strongly recommended the 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. When pre — charging is completed, flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not be used forflushingafter initial filling. 2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see Attachment. B) -before land application. 3. Begin pump —out of the lagoon when fluidlevel reaches eleva— tion 44.20'as marked by permanent markers. Stop pump —out when the fluid level reaches elevation 41.30 or before fluid depth is less than 6 feet .deep (this prevents the loss of favorable bacteria). The design temporary storage, less 25 year storm is 193162 cubic feet or 1444855 gallons. As stated before, this volume will vary considerably from year to year. 4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.4 inches per hour. 5. Keep vegetation on embankment'and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain avigorous stand. S. Reps ir 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. Keep a minimum of 100 feet cropland buffer or-25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around waste. utilization fields,particularly adjacent to ponds, lakes, streams, open ditches, etc. Do not pump within 300 feet of a residence or within 100 feet of -a well. 9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States. The Department of. Environment, Health, and Natural Pesources, Division of Environ— vnental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law. NOTES: 12.85 - - SULLCONSERVi1TION SERVICE _ SOIL.

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 amountsof 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 Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization Table Crop Maximum PA-N Rate....

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 met and is defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the fast 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 Beater than the design storage capacity, this indicates that the plan calls for the application ofnutriouts that have not yet accumulated. If available storage. capacity isnegative, 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.

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, be/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). --------------- - - 354769 Database Vasim 3-1 Date Printed: I I/1/Q5 ------ _-.--8-P eifimtion page 1 --- - 7.

ILanaowner cicnaturel ..r"Z .. OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN Proper 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 receiving crop is dormant (such as wintertime for bermudagrass) or when there are extended rainy 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 landis dry enough to receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet .period,. 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 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 vigorous stand. The amount of fertilizer 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 800pounds per acre of10-10-10, or equivalent. Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may be done by mowing, spraying, grazing, chopping, or combination of these practices. This should be done at least once a year and possibly twicein 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 conditionof 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 stab i l ity—sl umps 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 toreduce 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 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 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 afterthe 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 inflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the lagoon from the surrounding land. Lagoon Operation Startup: 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 bacteria] 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 occour at least two weeks prior to the addition of wastewater. 6. Maintain aperiodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below 7.0, add. agricultural lime at the rate of 1 pound per ? J00 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 wa,hdown 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 thefull 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 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 latesummer/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. 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 fills 50 percent of the permanent storage volume. If animal production is to. be terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementinga closure plan to eliminate the possibility of a Pollutant discharge. Sludge. Removal: Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by: properaagoon 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 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 draglineor 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 phosphores, 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 appl ication 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. Possibile Causes of Lagoon Failure Lagoon failures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure. Types of failures include leakage through the bottomorsides,-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 ofthe 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. 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 transect perpendicular to the direction of pull. Set out collection containers25 feet apart along the transect on both sides of the gun cart. You should compute the average application rate for ail nonuniformity of the application. On awindless 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 Manua!
