You should not wait until wastes reach surface waters or leave your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to ensure that this does not happen: This plan should be posted in an accessible location for all employees at the facility. The following are some action items_ you should take. 1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be possible. Suggested responses to some possible problems are listed below. A. Lagoon overflow - possible solutions are: a) Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam. b) Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate. c) Stop all flow to the lagoon immediately. d) Call a pumping contractor. e) Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon. Runoff from waste application field -actions include: a) Immediately stop waste application. b) Create a temporary diversion to contain waste. c) Incorporate waste to reduce runoff. d) Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s) that cause the runoff. e) Evaluate.the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred.

Pork Producers Assoc. NCSU Agricultural Communications Florida Cooperative Extension AMOC - November 11, 1996, page 4 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 componentswear. 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`ntakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce, operating pressure. Operating below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application uniformity. For the above reason,1 you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to ensure properapplication 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 . a transept perpendicular to the direction of pull.. Set out collection containers 25 feet apart along the transept on both sides of the gun cart. You should compute the average application rate for all nonuniformity of the application: On a windless day, variation between containers of 'more. than 3G 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 Manual OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN Proper lagoon 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 a thunderstorm season in the summertime: This means that at- the first sign of plant growth in the later winter / early spring, irrigation according to a farm waste management plan 'should, be done whenever the land in 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 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 irrigated 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.invoives the, following: Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam. Fescue or common bermuda_grass are the most common vegetative covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year, If needed, to maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fertilized 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 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or equivalent. Brush and trees on the embankmentmustbe 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 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 condition of pipes Lagoon surface -- look for: I. undesirable vegetative growth 2. floating orlodged debris Embankment -- look for: .1. settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes 2.. side slope stability -- slumps or bulges 3. wet. or damp areas on the back slope 4.. erosion due to lack or 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 erodethe lagoon sidewalis, 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 sidewalt, baffles in the lagoon maybe 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 th. reat .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 technicalexpert. 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 of 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.neady 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. Your 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 prking 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 1 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 after the 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. overflow 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 liquid volume. This seeding should occur at least two weeks prior to the addition of wastewater. - 6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below 7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of 1 pound per 1000 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. J 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. 4 • Practice water conservation --- minimize building water usage and spillage from leaking waterers, . broken pipes and washdown through proper maintenance `and water conservation. Minimize feedwastage 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 the.. full temporary storage level. • Place visiblemarkers or stakes on the lagoon bank. to show the minimum liquid level and the maximum liquid level. (Flgure 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 late .su-mmer t early fall to provide maximum -,lagoon Storage for -the winter. • The lagoon liquid level should Weyer be closer than 1 foot to the lowest point of the dam or embankment. Don hot -pump the lagoon liquid level lower than the permanent storage level unless you are removing sludge. • Locate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches undemeath 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 allpw-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 implementing a closure, plan to eliminate the possibility of a pollutant discharge. Sludge Removal: Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by, 5 • proper lagoon 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 a 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 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. 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 . phosphors; 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 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 mayiead tolagoon 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 surfacer 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.

The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of _ cropland needed to use the nutrients being produced.. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements, and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake. This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure br other by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each field in order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and' the total manure applied is included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for. the utilization of the manure generated by the operation.

The following Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization table provides an estimate ofthe 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 notpossible, care should be taken not to load effluent application fields with high amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannotbe 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.

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 user and is defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first 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 ofthe facility. Ifthe available storage capacity is greater than the design storage capacity, this indicates that the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated. If available storage capacity is negative, 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. --• - -Av uwiasv, mat acuy is caicuiatea as oT the end of each month. -------------------------- ------ -- --- - - -- ----- _ ___ _ -- --------------------------- 791 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 11-22-2016 Capacity Page 1 of 1 -------- ----------------- Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management 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 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, he/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 peryear 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). --------- - 1- - ------- -- -- - -- -------------------------------- 670791 Database Version 3. Date Printed:- 11/22/2016 - ----------------- Specification Page 1 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided the fields 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 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 in system. 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 shoul&ouly be applied pre -plant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and 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. ------ ------------------ -- -- _ _ _ _ _ _ _ - --------------------------------------------------- -- -- - - -- --- - - - 670791 Database Version 3.1 -------------------- ------ ----------------------- Date Printed: 11/22/2016 Specification Pale 3 Crop Notes The following crop note applies to field(s): PS F6 Corn CP, Mineral Soil, highly leachable In the Coastal Plain, corn is normally planted when soil temperatures reach 52 to 55 degrees fahrenheit. Review the Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to select a high yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Plant 1-2" deep. Plant populations should be determined by the hybrid being planted. Increase the seeding rate by 10% when planting no -till. Phosphorus and potassium recomiended by a soil test can be broadcast or banded at planting. When planting early in cool, wet soil, banded phosphorus will be more available to the young plants. An accepted practice is to apply 20-301bs/acre Nand 20-30 lbs/acre phosphorus banded as a starter and one-half the remaining N behind the planter. The rest of the N should be applied about 30-40 days after emergence. The total amount of N is dependent on soil type. When including a starter in the fertilizer program, the recommended potassium and any additional phosphorus is normally broadcast at planting. Apply 20-40 lbs/acre sulfur; 1/4 at planting and the remainder with the rest of the N. Plant samples can be analyzed during.the growing season to monitor the overall nutrient status of the corn. Timely management of weeds and insects are essential for corn production. The following crop note applies to field(s): PI F6, P2 F2, P3 F1, P4 F1 Small Grain: Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, highly leachable In the Coastal Plain, oats and barley should be planted from October 15-October 30; and rye from October 15-November 20. For barley, plant 22 seed/drill row foot and increase the seeding rate by 5% for each week seeding is delayed beyond the optimum time. See the seeding rates table for applicable seeding rate modifications in the current NCSU "Small Grain Production Guide". Also, increase the initial seeding rate by at least 10% when planting no -till. Oats should be planted at 2 bushels/acre and rye at 1-1 1/2 bushels/acre. Plant all these small grains at 1-1 1/2" deep. Adequate depth control is . essential.. Review the NCSU Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to select a high yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Apply no more than 30 lbs/acre N at planting. Phosphorus recommended by a soil test report can also be applied at this time. The recommended rate of potash should be split with 1/2 applied at planting and the other 1/2 applied when the N is topdressed in the Spring. The remaining N should be applied during the months of February -March. The total N needed is dependent on the soil type. Apply sulfur at the rate of 5 lbs/acre at planting and another 201bs/acre with the topdress N. Plant samples can be analyzed during the growing season to monitor the nutrient status of the oats, barley and rye. Timely management of diseases, insects and weeds are essential for profitable oat, barley and rye production. ----------------- --------------- --------------------------------------- ____ 670791 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 11-22-2016 Crop Note Page 1 of 3 The following crop note applies to field(s): P5 F6 Double -Crop Soybeans, Coastal Plain: Mineral Soil, highly leachable Double -crop soybeans should be planted as early in June as possible with planting completed by July 4th. When no -tilling soybeans in small grain straw, it is essential to manage the straw to achieve adequate plant populations. Review the NCSU Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to select a high yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Plant 2-4 seed/row foot for 7-8" drills; 4-6 seed/row foot for 15" rows; 6-8 seed/row foot for 30" rows and 8-10 seed/row foot for 3 6 " rows. Increase the seeding rate by at least 10% for no -till planting. Seeding depth should be 1-1 1/2" and adequate depth control is essential: Phosphorus recommended for the soybeans can be applied to the wheat in the Fall. Potash recommended for the soybeans should be applied at planting. Soybeans produce their own nitrogen and are normally grown without additions of nitrogen. However, applications of 20-30 lbs/acre N are sometimes made at planting to promote early growth and vigor. Tissue samples can be analyzed during the growing season to monitor the overall nutrient status of the soybeans. Timely management of weeds and insects is essential for profitable double crop soybean production. --------------------------------------------------- - ----- _ _ 670791 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 11-22-2016 Crop.
