Irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste
is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed
before each application cycle, Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant
nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize
the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner
1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials,
cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but
less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established.
4. 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 DWR regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor
problems.
6. 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 not more than
30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems,
1 of 11
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. if you choose to change
methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application
methods are not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content
for this type of facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could
allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to
be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must
be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

This plan does not include commercial fertilhec The farm should produce adequate pbn
available nitrogen 0osatisfy the requirements ofthe crops listed above.
The applicator iocautioned that Pand Kmay beover applied while meeting the Nrequirements.
In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen.
|ninterplantedfields (�.small grain, etc, interseededin bermucla), forage must be removed
through grazing, hay, and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they
reach aheight ofsix tonine inches, Cattle should beremoved when plants are grazed toa
height uffour inches. |nfields where small grain, etc, ioiuberemoved for hay ursilage, care
should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April ork8ay).Shading may result ifsmall grain gets too high and this will d*fin8a|yinterfere
with stand ofbennudagmau. This loss ufstand will result Ynreduced yields and less nitrogen
being utilized. Rather than cuffing small grain for hay orsilage just before heading amis
the normal situation, you are encouraged tocut the small grain earlier. You may want to
consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the
time small grain ioplanted inthe fall.
The ideal time to interplantsmall grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is
recommended over broadcasting. 8mmudugrau should begrazed orcut toaheight of
about two inches before drilling for best results.

The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at
agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to
prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce
approximately 2325.6 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year and will accumulate in the lagoon
sludge based on the rates of accumulation listed above.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 11628 pounds of plant
available nitrogen to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermuda grass hayland at the
rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 38 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge
to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 93.024 acres of land. Please note that these
are only estimates of the PAN produced and the land required to utilize that PAN. Actual values
may only be determined by sampling the sludge for plant available nitrogen content prior to application
Actual utilization rates will vary with soil type, crop, and realistic yield expectations for the specific
application fields designated for sludge application at time of removal.
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.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the
producer and irriga#ion designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly
irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
*This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount
of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. in many situations, the application
amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions.
Your facility is designed for >160 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of the
waste stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of
freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment
is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to apply
the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Cali your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in
determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste.

Additional Comments:
This plan revised 11/g/2023 to reflect the irrigation conversion from solid sets
to reel pulls and updates the production and application rates to match the
current rates as listed on the NCSU Nutrient Management website.
Subfields are the remaining applicable areas of the fields that are not covered
by the conventional irrigation system, but may be applied to via an aerwa or
honeywagon type system.
Any/all fields listed as "Optional Fields" are not required to be in any of the
crops listed in this plan unless they are actively being applied to or will be
applied to.

NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application.
Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
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 himfher 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 Utilization Plan
when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of
application, recieving 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, MRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips),
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 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).
7 Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff
does not occur offslte 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 odor and
flies.
$ Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.
0619
NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
9 Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not
covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from
animal waste should also be considered.
10 Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a
high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a
minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall
not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy.
1 i Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The
outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of
a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and 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.
12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by
the landowner.
14 Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways.
15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by discharge
or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted 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 management system.

NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon
embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the
vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas
where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and
structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge.
18 If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for
obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal
discharge, pollution and erosion.
19 Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to
prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site.
20 Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human
consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption, it should
only be applied pre -plant with no further applications 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.
22 Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least once every three
yeares at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining
nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting
in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the soil shall be
monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels.
pH shall be adjusted and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis
records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be
maintained for a minimum of three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be
maintained for a minimum of five years.
23 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed
be3o' e each aPPI�csti^ n cYcle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant
b ' ie' `ts ran 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 fertfiNzar value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner
Always ays apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
conter of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop camutilize.

30 days prior to planting a crop or forages brealdng dormancy. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.

Page: 3
NOTE:
This plan does not include commercial fertilizer. The farm should produce adequate plant
+ailable nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above.
The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements.
n the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen.
In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermuda), forage must be removed
through grazing, hay, and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they
reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a
height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care
:should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
.April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definately interfere
with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen
being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is
the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to
consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is
-ecommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of
,bout two inches before drilling for best results.

Acres shown in the preceding table are considered to be the usable acres excluding
fired buffers, filter strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas
not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the fields
listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at
agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to
prevent over application of nutrients or other elements_ Your production facility will produce
approximately 0.36 pounds of plant available nitrogen per animal per year in the
sludge based on the application method listed earlier.
if you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately
11664.00
pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the
rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 38.88 acres of land. If you apply
the sludge to com at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 93.31 acres of land.
Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements
could vary by 25% depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and
applications.
PPLICATION 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.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the
producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly
irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

*This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount
of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations, the application
amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of the
waste stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of
freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm.
It is the responsiability of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment
is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to apply
"he recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in
proper
determining the amount of waste per acre and the ro era p
application prior to applying ingthe waste.
Additional Comments:
Plan based on actual farm records of 1999-2001 Average annual waste volume calculated as
3,593,300 9allon s with an averse of 2.5 #N/1000 gal. This would bean annual production of
8983.25 # PAN per year. To account for unusual weather occurrences, 11,229.04 # PAN was used
which is 25% more than the average and 15% more than the year with the highest PAN.

MRCS WASTE UTILIZATION
PLAN SPECIFICATIONS
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface eaters 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
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has a notarized agreement for use
of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly
dispose of waste, hefshe shall provide a copy of a notarized agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable
proximity, allowing him ber the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the
facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization PIan when there is a change in the operaiton, 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. Actual yields may be u..ed in lieu of realistic yield tables at the
discretion of the planner.
4. Animal waste shall be applied on land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that
is eroding at more than 5 tons but less than 10 tons per acrea per year providing grass filter strips are installed where
runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393-Filter Strips)
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 occure during a season prone to flooding. (See "Vvlueather and Climate in North Carolina" for
guidance.)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occure off -site
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 odor and flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste should be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste
to depth that would prohibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal nvaste should also be considered.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for
leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suit*'Ii �wver crop
planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of a crop or
forages breaking dormancy.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of
the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a componet of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet
from any residential property boundary and from any perennial stream or river other than an irrigation ditch or
canal. Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995, shall not be applied
closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced fur waters that are not perennial provided

PLAN SPECIFICATIONS
(CONI TRq MD)
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 1.00 feet from wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those oN�med by landowner_
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other propery and public right-of-ways.
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 it has been approved as a land
applications site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste applied on grassed waterways shall be at agronomic rates
and 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 he 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.). 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. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion,
leakage, or discharge.
18. If animal production at the facility is 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 he inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns,
leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on sits.
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetalbles and other crops for direct human consumption.
However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied preplant with no
further applications of animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly visible permanenet markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage
(pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall he managed to maintain the liquid level between
the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maxim, un storage volume for «ante storage ponds.
22. Soil tests shall be made every year, and a liquid waste analysis shall he taken within 60 days of application
consistent with waste utilization plan_ Poultry litter shall be tested prier to application. Soil and waste analysis
records shall be kept for five years.
Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets NC regulations.

Mortality Management Methods
Indicate which method(s) will be implemented.
When selecting multiple methods indicate a primary versus secondary option.
Methods other than those listed must be approved by the State Veterinarian.
Primary Secondary Routine Mortality
Q Burial three feet beneath the surface of the ground within 24 hours of knowledge of animal
death. The burial must be at least 300 feet from any flowing stream or public body of water
(G.S.106-403). The bottom of the burial pit should be at least one foot above the seasonal
high water table. Attach burial location map and plan.
a Landfill at municipal solid waste facility permitted by NC DEQ under GS 15A NCAC
13B .0200.
Rendering at a rendering plant licensed under G.S. 106-168.7.
Complete incineration according to 02 NCAC 52C .0102.
A composting system approved and permitted bjr the NC Department of Agriculture & Con-
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,
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).
aMass 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.

applying waste to prevent damage to crops or runoff from the
f i e l d. Rate of app.1 i cat i can should riot exceed 0.5 inches* per
flour. Taste should be app I i ed accord i rig to so i I test and
waste analysis on _actively growing (grass) or immediately
prior- to planting (corn).
The following items are to be carried out:
1. E:eg i ri pump -out of tl••re lagoon when fluid level re -aches
the bottom of tl"ie outlet pipes. Lagoon is designed
for 6 month pumping cycle.
2. Stop pump -out before fluid depth is less than 6. feet
•deep (this prevents the i oss c-f favorable bacteria).
L. It is strongly recommended that the treatment I agoor,
be precharged :to 1t2 its capacity to prevent excessive
odor's during startup. Pr-echarg i ng reduces the concen-
tration of the initial waste entering the lagoon thereby

4. Keep vegetation on the ernt,ank.ment and areas adjacent to
the lagoon mowed.
5.. Repair - any eroded areas and establish in vegetation.
6. Recommend that a suitable fence be constructed around
the lagoon for safety purposes.

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-far.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. Thismeans that attire first signs of plant growth in
the later winter/early spring, irrigation according to a faxm_waste..ma4agement plan should be
done whenever the land is dry enough to receive lagoon -liquid- This will make storage space
available in the lagoon for future wet periods. In the late summer/early fall the lagoon should be
pumped down to the low marker to allow for wintenstorage_ 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 unto the lagoon has reached its ma na storage_capacitybefom 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 ofstawlaw and subject to penalty
action
LAGOON MAINTENANCE
The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following:
Maintenance of a vegetative coverfor the dam... Eescueor. common bermudagrass are the
most common vegetative covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year, if needed,
to maintain a vigorous stand The amount offertilizer appliedshouldbe based on a sons
test, but in the event that it is not.practicaLto obtain_a_soRs-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 embankment mustbe-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 is years that weatherconditions are favorable for
heavy vegetative growth.
NOTE: If vegetation is controlled by spraying,.theherbicideoxnustnot, be allowed to enter the
lagoon water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that aretreating 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 ralDfall and- storm events - Items to be checked should
include, as a minimum, the following:
✓ Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes--- took for:
1 . separation of joints
2. cracks or breaks
3. accumulation of salts or minerals
4. overall condition of 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 stability --- slumps or bulges
3. wet or damp areas on the back slope
4. erosion due to lack ofvegetation or as a result of wave action
5. rodent damage
Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due, to wwe,.action caused by strong winds.
These waves can erode the lagoon side walls, 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 side wall, baffles .in-the.lagoon-may beused 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 -£amdiar with design and construction of
waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary fix-ifthere-is-a-threat of a waste discharge.
However, a permanent solution should be.review-ed by..the_technical x�ert. Any digging into a
lagoon darn with heavy equipment is a serious undertakingwith potentially serious consequences
and should not be conducted unless recommended by an-appropriatetechnicalexpert.
Transfer Pumps--- check for proper operation of
1 . recycling pumps
2. irrigation pumps
Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump operation._ An_unusuall loud or grinding noise,
or a large amount of vibration, may indicate that the, pump isin need or repair or replacement.
NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that
you are not completely "surprised" by equipment-£adure. You -show. 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 thick about
switching, repairing, or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is fia 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 into your lagoon is thatwhi& 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 after the rain (assumes there.is.no pumping). This will give you an idea of
how much your lagoon level wdl rise with a certain raiiifaFamounf (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:
l . Immediately after construction establish -a, complete-sod_cQver on bare soil surfaces
to avoid erosion.
2. FM new lagoon design treatmentvolume at least half -.full of water before waste
loading begins, taking care not to- er-ode lining or -bank slopes.
3. Drainpipes into the lagoonshouldhave a-flexNe4.ipe_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 0-2-5-percent-of the &H 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.Hquid pH_ I£thq 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

Management:
✓ Maintain lagoon liquid level between .thepermanent_ storage level and the full temporary
storage level
✓ Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the
minimum liquid. level and the ma)dnnun liquid lever (Figure 2- 1).
✓ Start irrigating at the earliest possiible.dateinthe_sprmgbased-on nutrient requirements
and soil moisture so that temporary storage -will be maximized for the summer
thunderstorm season. Similarly, irrigate-in-the-late-summerlearly fall, to provide maarimum
lagoon storage for the winter.
✓ The lagoon liquid level should never be..cloaer than-1 foot -to thelowest point of the darn
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 I& 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-endo£confinementhouses 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 tens mated,_the_Qmme -is. responsible for obtaining and
implementing a closure plan fo eliminate the possibility of a pollutant discharge.
Sludge Removal:
Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by.
• proper lagoon suing,
• mechanical solids separation of flushed_waste,..gravity settling_of$ashed 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:
• Ffire 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 forage land; mix
remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator;. haul -and -spread onto cropland or
forage land; and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoonby irrigation -onto -nearby cropland or forage land;
dredge sludge from lagoon with drag line 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_orforage _land, and soul incorporate.
Regardless of the method, you mu A have the sludge-materiaLanabjud.faic 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.
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-beimgdisft r you, should stop the activity
immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can be removed without Inver injury.
If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as possible.
Sludge removed from the lagoon his a much.higher-phosphoms—and-heavy metal content than
liquid. Because of this it should probably be applied to ]and 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.phosphor is, it should be applied only at
rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other wastes, always have your lagoon
shrdge analyzed for its nutrient value.
The application of sludge will increase the.amount_o£odor-at_the_wa%e 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_ofwactemmter fmm 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-resgansibility for ensuring structure
safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures include:
Modification ofthe lagoon structure--- an_exampleis_the placement of a pipe in
the dam without proper design and construction. (Consult an expert in lagoon
design before placing any pipes, iwdams:r
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 .mlet-pipe-sco" ring, 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.
