WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Goldsboro Hog Farms, Inc.
Wednesday, May 20, 1998 Updated. W1112018
Producer: Maxwell Foods, Inc.
Farm Name: Grant Sow Farm
PO Box 10009
Goldsboro,NC 27532
Telephone # : [phone]
Type of Operation : Combination Swine Farm
Number of Animals: 2160 swine design capacity
Application Method: Irrigation
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
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
contents 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 avaialable water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to
land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special pre -cautions, waste may
be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre 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 the 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. This plan is based on waste application through irrigation for this is
the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you choose to inject the waste
in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for injecting waste and irrigating
waste 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. Attached you will find information on proper sampling
techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for ananlysis. This waste
utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
21-1.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
2160 swine X 5.79 tons waste/swine/year= 12504 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
2160 swine X 5.17 Ibs PAN/swine/year= 11168 PAN/year
Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate
equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown,
soil type and suface application.

fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables.
NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of
sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nurturient rich and will require precautionary
measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility
will produce approximately 1819.2 pounds of plant available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the
sludge that will need to be removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when
broadcasting the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well special
equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge.
See the attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of waste water.
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.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 5.92 months. In no instance should the volume of
waste being stored in your structure be within 1.58 feet of the top of the dike.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsiblity of the
producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly
irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

NARRATIVE OF OPERATION
Per Interagency Nutrient Management Committee Guidance dated 10/1712017, the following
update for the 100 lb nitrogen PAN rate for winter small grains is as follows:
- the 100 Ib/ac PAN rate for overseed can be applied at 50 Ibs/ac PAN from OCT 1 - DEC 31
and at 50 Ibs/ac from JAN 1 - MAR 31
- applications made during the months of DEC and JAN cannot exceed a combined total of
25 Ibs/ac for the two months
- the last application on bermuda is prior or on SEP 30
- grazed systems PAN rate is reduced by 25%
- cereal and annual ryegrass should be planted by OCT 15
- harvest is required by APR 7
The original WUP is purposely left in the notebook to show that 400 lbs. N was originally
allowed and of course the current standards reduced that drastically.
This WUP was revised 5/12199 for wettable acres utilizing the most current FSA map
available, to scale (1 "=660'), with the irrigation pulls located on the map, labeled and
computations furnished. The WUP is written by irrigation pulls and a D-1 with pertinent
information is included. The 100-lb overseed option is utilized with the following conditions:
(1) no animal waste will be applied to bermuda after August 31, (2) an application of 50
Ibs/acre of PAN will be applied to the small grain from September 15 - October 30 and the
remaining 50 Ibs/acre applied in February - March, and (3) the small grain will be removed by
April 7.

PLANS & SPECIFICATIONS
1. 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. Illegal discharges are subject
to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Water Quality for every
day the discharge continues.
2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either
owns or has long term access to adequate land to properly dispose of waste. If the producer
does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy
of a written agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing
him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production
facility. 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, climate conditions, and level of
management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other
nutrients.
4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or
an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater
than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves
the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. (See FOTG
Stantard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 Interim Riparian Forest Buffers).
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" in the NRCS Technical Reference -
Environment file for guidance.)
*7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff
does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from
the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions conducive
to odor or flies and to provide uniformity of application.
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.
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 a crop on bare soil.
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
Page 8

component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary
and from any perennial stream or river (other that 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 landownwer.
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 croplands
provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist".
Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water
courses, except when applied at agronomic rates and the application 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 vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas
(lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be
provided for these areas and 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. Lagoon 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 as a preemergence with no other applications of
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 fpr 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 soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites
shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for
optimum crop production amd 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 shall be maintained for five (5) years.
Page 9

23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina Department of
Agriculture regulations.

Emergency Action Plan
This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from you operations are leaking, overflowing,
or running off the site. You should NOT wait until wastes reach surface waters or leave your
property to consider that you have a problem. You should make very effort to ensure that this does
not happen. This plan should be available to all employees at the facility, as accidents, leaks, and
breaks can happen at any time.
1) Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be possible.
Suggested responses to problems are listed below:
a) Lagoon overflow:
0 add soil to the berm to increase the elevation of the dam
• pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate
a stop all additional flow to the lagoon (waterers)
a call a pumping contractor
■ make sure no surface water is entering the lagoon
Note: These activities should be started when your lagoon level has exceeded the temporary
storage level.
b) Runoff from waste application field:
■ immediately stop waste application
• create a temporary diversion or berm to contain the waste on the field
a incorporate waste to reduce further runoff
c) Leaking from the waste distribution system:
E, pipes and sprinklers:
10 stop recycle (flushing system) pump
OO stop irrigation pump
Oa close valves to eliminate further discharge
® separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow
Page 1

a flush system, houses, solids separators:
OO stop recycle (flushing system) pump
® stop irrigation pump
OO make sure no siphon effect has been created
® separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow
d) Leakage from base or sidewall of the lagoon. Often these are seepage as opposed
to flowing leaks:
dig a small well or ditch to catch all seepage, put in a submersible pump, and
pump back into the lagoon
0 if holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill holes
and compact with a clay type soil.
■ other holes may be likewise temporarily plugged with clay soil.
Note: For permanent repair measures, lagoon problems require the consultation of an individual
experienced in their design and installation.
2) Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages.
a) Did the waste reach any surface waters?
b) Approximately how much was released and for what duration?
c) Any damage noted, such as employee injury, fish kills, or property damage?
3) Contact appropriate agencies.
�5y
a) During normal business hours, call your DWQ regional office: 94A-946-6481; after
hours, emergency number: 800-858-0368 or 919-733-3942. Your phone call should
include: your name, facility, telephone number, the details of the incident, the exact
location of the facility, and the location or direction of movement of the spill, weather
and wind conditions, what corrective measures have been taken, and the seriousness of
the situation.
b) Your integrator: Goldsboro Hog Farms Division, Maxwell Foods, Inc.

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.
a In the case of dead poultry only, placing in a disposal pit of a size and design approved by the
NC Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services (G.S. 106-549.70).
Any method which, in the professional opinion of the State Veterinarian, would make possible
the salvage of part of a dead animal's value without endangering human or animal health.
(Written approval by the State Veterinarian must be attached).
Mass Mortality Plan
Mass mortality plans are required for farms covered by an NPDES permit. These plans are
also recommended for all animal operations. This plan outlines farm -specific mortality man-
agement methods to be used for mass mortality. The NCDA&CS Veterinary Division sup-
ports a variety of emergency mortality disposal options; contact the Division for guidance.
• A catastrophic mortality disposal plan is part of the facility's CAWMP and is activated
when numbers of dead animals exceed normal mortality rates as specified by the State
Veterinarian.
• Burial must be done in accordance with NC General Statutes and NCDA&CS Veterinary
Division regulations and guidance.
• Mass burial sites are subject to additional permit conditions (refer to facility's animal
waste management system permit).
• In the event of imminent threat of a disease emergency, the State Veterinarian may enact
additional temporary procedures or measures for disposal according to G.S. 106-399.4.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
----------------------
Owners name --:Goldsboro Hog Farm County:Wayne
Mail Address -:Goldsboro Milling
Type of production unit----:Far-Wean
Type of waste facility ---:Anaerobic Lagoon
Your animal waste management fac i I i ty has been designed for a
given storage capacity. When the waste reaches the designed
level, it must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
po I I ut i on of surface 'and/or ground water. The plant nutrients
in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of
commercial fertilizer- required for the crops on 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 and annual soil tests
are encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for -
realistic yields of the crop to to 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 can 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
rate_ and leaching potential. Waste shall not be applied to
land eroding at greater- than 5 tens per acre per year. Do not
apply waste on saturated soils or on land when the surface is
frozen. Either- of these conditions may result in runoff to
surface waters. Wind conditions should also to considered to
avoid drift and downwind odor- problems. To maximize the value
of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential
for pig l I ut i yin, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or
not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste
or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor- problems.
The acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical
nutrient content for this type of fac i I i ty. Acreage
requirements may be more or less based on the waste analysis
report from your waste management fac i I i ty.
The design of your waste management facility is based on the
fuI1owing:

Applying the above amount of -waste is a big job. You should
plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in
a timely manner. Your f ac i I i ty is designed for 160 days of

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 sheep -foot roller
during placement. The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed
using the -more suitable materials. Construction of fills shall allow
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 backfiIIed and compacted with
a suitable material (cl, sc, ch, etc.). Refer -to the soils
investigation 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.

Please review the attached plan and specifications care`ully. Retain
this pIan_for your use and records. It is strongly recommended that you,
your contractor, and Soil Conservation Service personnel are in agreement
as "to how the waste lagoon is to be constructed. The Soil Conservation
Service personnel will meet with all concerned parties and walk over the
site to explain all flags and markings. It is important that everyone
understand what is -expected so that final construction meets plans and
specification and the ;ob can be certified for payment (if cost -sharing
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. The
Soil Conservation Service personnel will assist in a Iimited capacity,
as its major concern is the proper design and construction of the waste
treatment laacon.
The actual amount of material required for pads and dam may vary from the
estimates. The design.will attempt to balance cuts and fills as close 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 of borrow area. .

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
------------------------------
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) with
min. odor control. The time required for the planned fluid level to be
reached (permanent + temporary storage) may vary due to soil conditions
flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water 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 25 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
a year. The average annual excess rainfall is approximately 8 inches.
Therefore, an average of 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 the outlet invert of pipes) 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 at any time between these two
elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as
weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without
runoff 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 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. When precharging is complete,
flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not
be used for flushing after initial filling.
2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This
plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment)
before land application.

3. Begin pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches eleva-
tion 52.2 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump -out when
the fluid level reaches elevation 50.5 or before the fluid depth is
less than 6 feet deep (this prevents the loss of favorable
bacteria). The design temporary storage, less 25 year storm
is 19325 cubic feet or 144554 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 0.3
inch per hour.
5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the
lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed
to maintain 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. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around
waste utilization fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will
not be applied in open ditches. Do not pump within 200 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 Resources, Division of Environ-
mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law.

Emergency Action Plan
This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from you operations are leaking, overflowing,
or running off the site. You should NOT wait until wastes reach surface waters or leave your
property to consider that you have a problem. You should make very effort to ensure that this does
not happen. This plan should be available to all employees at the facility, as accidents, leaks, and
breaks can happen at any time.
1) Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be possible.
Suggested responses to problems are listed below:
a) Lagoon overflow:
0 add soil to the berm to increase the elevation of the dam
• pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate
m stop all additional flow to the lagoon (waterers)
0 call a pumping contractor
0 make sure no surface water is entering the lagoon
Note: These activities should be started when your lagoon level has exceeded the temporary
storage level.
b) Runoff from waste application field:
R immediateh stop waste application
• create a temporary diversion or berm to contain the waste on the field
0 incorporate waste to reduce further runoff
c) Leaking from the waste distribution system:
a pipes and sprinklers:
O stop recycle (flushing system) pump
® stop irrigation pump
O close valves to eliminate further discharge
® separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow
Page 1

0 flush system, houses, solids separators:
OO stop recycle (flushing system) pump
© stop irrigation pump
Os make sure no siphon effect has been created
® separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow
d) Leakage from base or sidewall of the lagoon. Often these are seepage as opposed
to flowing leaks:
dig a small well or ditch to catch all seepage, put in a submersible pump, and
pump back into the lagoon
if holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill holes
and compact with a clay type soil.
0 other holes may be likewise temporarily plugged with clay soil.
Note: For permanent repair measures, lagoon problems require the consultation of an individual
experienced in their design and installation.
2) Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages.
a) Did the waste reach any surface waters?
b) Approximately how much was released and for what duration?
c) Any damage noted, such as employee injury, fish kills, or property damage?
3) Contact appropriate agencies.
y5W-
a) During normal business hours, call your DWQ regional office: 9.1-9-946-6481; after
hours, emergency number: 800-858-0368 or 919-733-3942. Your phone call should
include: your name, facility, telephone number, the details of the incident, the exact
location of the facility, and the location or direction of movement of the spill, weather
and wind conditions, what corrective measures have been taken, and the seriousness of
the situation.
b) Your integrator: Goldsboro Hog Farms Division, Maxwell Foods, Inc.

Please review the attached plan and specifications carefully. Recain
this plan for your use and records. It is strongly recommended that you,
your contractor, and Soil Conservation Service personnel are in agreement
as to how -the waste lagoon is to be constructed. The Soil Conservation
Service personnel will meet with all concerned parties and walk over the
site to explain all flags and markings. It is important that everyone
understand what is -expected so that final construction meets plans and
specification and the job can be certified for payment (if cost -sharing
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. The
Soil Conservation Service personnel will assist in a limited capacity,
as its major concern is the proper design and construction of the 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 fills as close 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 of borrow area. .

NOTE: SEE ATTACHED WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
r

Animal waste lagoons are designed with permanent storage
(waste treatment volume) and temporary storage.
The designed 6• month temporary storage is an estimated
volume based on: 1) waste from animals; Z) excess rainfall
after evaporation; and 3) the largest Z4 hour (one day)
rainfall that occurs on the average of once every 25 years.
The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals
will be fairly constant throughout the year and from year to
year. The excess rainfall will vary greatly during 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
a months excess in a year. The average annual excess
rainfall is approximately t inches. Therefore, an average
of 8 inches of excess rainfall will need to be pumped each
year. The Z5 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 the outlet
invert of pipe from building(s). If the outlet pipe is not
installed on the elevation to begin pumping, a permanent
marker must be installed on this eleva-ti.on to indicate when
pumping should begin. After initial filling of lagoon, a
minimum 6 feet depth must be maintained for anerobic
treatment of waste. An elevation must be established to
stop pumping to maintain the minimum treatment depth.
Pumping can be started or stopped anytime between these two
elevations for operating convenience so long as site
conditions permit (conditions are weather, soil, crop, and
equipment to apply waste to prevent runoff or leaching).
For this lagoon the maximum elevation to begin pumping is
5[,3 feet and the minimum elevation to pump to is } 2._ feet.
The design temporary storage, less 25 year storm, is jo.7,L.L q i
cubic feet org1,& j gallons. As stated before, this volume
will vary considerably from year to year.
This lagoon is designed to flush buildings with recycled
lagoon liquid, and fresh water should not be used for
flushing after initial filling.

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 dueto

operations, and
the amount of fresh
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 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 fluid level reaches et

s marked by permanent markers. Stop p p-
o
the fluid level reaches elevation 49.2 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 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 maintain a vigorous stand.
6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and
establish in vegetation.
