Narrative
This farm is operating as a finishing operation with a 1268 feeder to finish animal capacity. The
certification for the farm lists the animal population as 2000 wean to feeder and 850 feeder to finish.
This plan is for 1268 feeder to finish animals which equals the steady state live weight for the 2000 wean
to feeder and 850 feeder to finish.

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 or 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 Irrigation Application Factors for each field in this plan are shown in the following table. Infiltration rate varies with soils. If
applying waste nutrients through an irrigation system, you must apply at a rate that will not result in runoff This table provides the
maximum application rate per hour that may be applied to each field selected to receive wastewater. It also lists the maximum
application amount that each field may receive in any one application event.

/ The following 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 amounts of
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.

The Available Waste Storage Capacity table provides an estimate of the number of days of storage capacity available
at the end of each month of the plan. 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 of the facility. If the 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.
* Available Storage Capacity is calculated as of the end of each month.

The waste treatment lagoon was designed and installed to provide storage for biological treatment of
animal or other agriculture waste. The estimated life span of this installation is at least 15 years. The H
span of this practice can be assured and usually increased by developing and carrying out an operatio
and maintenance (O&M) program.
You are required to perform inspections and O&M activities -in order for this practice to achieve the
intended function, benefits, and design life. Items to inspect, operate, and maintain during the estimate
design life of this practice inciude, but are not limited to, the following:
• Operational requirements for emptying the waste treatment lagoon including the expected storage
periodBegin removal of the liquid from ft waste treatriwit, lagoon as somas practical after the
maximum operating level has been reached. Also include the requirement ftmt waste be removed
from the lagoon and utilized at locations, times, rates, and volume in accordance wit the overall
waste management system plan.
• Include an explanation of the staff gauge Or Other Permanent marker to indicate the maximum
operating level and the maximum operational drawdown.
• A provision for emergency re I moval and disp�m of liquid waste in the event of an unusual storm
event that may cause the waste treatment lagoon structure to fill to capacity prematurely.

Emergency Action Plan
This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your 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 every 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:
• add soil to the berm to increase the elevation of the dam
• pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate
• stop all additional flow to the lagoon (waterers)
• 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
• incorporate waste to reduce further runoff
c) Leaking from the waste distribution system:
• pipes and sprinklers:
® stop recycle (flushing system) pump
OO stop irrigation pump
Os close valves to eliminate further discharge
T separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow
• 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.
• other holes may be likewise temporarily plugged with clay soil.
Note: For permanent repair measures, lagoon problems require (lie
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.
a) During normal business hours, call your DWQ regional office: [phone] ; after
hours, emergency number: [phone]. 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) If the spill leaves the property or enters surface waters, call the local EMS:
641-7843
c) Instruct EMS to contact the local Health Department: 6417573
d) Contact CES:
local MRCS office:
and your integrator:
[STAR
.A •11
4) Implement procedures as advised by DWQ and technical assistance agencies to rectify the
damage, repair the system, and reassess the waste management plan to keep problems with
release of wastes from happening again.
