NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED 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.
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 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, NRCS 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 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 odor and
flies.
8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.
9of11

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.
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 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 annually 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.

Updated Crop Management Practices for Bermuda Winter Overseed
This document, as approved by the Interagency Nutrient Management Committee on
October 10, 2017, Hereby modified the July 13, 1998 Memorandum "Crop Management
Practices for Select Forages Used in Waste Management. This modification updates
the application window protocol for the 100 lb Nitrogen PAN rate for both Cereal Rye
and Annual Ryegrass, as well as winter small grains..
• Farms utilizing the 100 lbsJac PAN rate for the overseed are allowed to apply no
more than 50 lbs.lac PAN from October 1 through December 31 and no more than
50 lbs./ac PAN from January 1 .through March 31.
• Applications made during the months of December and January cannot exceed the
combined total of 25 lbs./ac PAN for the two-month period.
• The last application of animal waste is to be applied to the Bermuda crop prior to
September 30.
• The PAN rate for grazed systems must be reduced by 255%.
All other requirements of the July 13, 1998 Memorandum continue to apply. Those
requirements include but are not limited to:
• Cereal rye and annual ryegrass should be planted by October 15 to provide the best
opportunity,to get winter growth.
• A harvest is required prior to heading or April 7,whichever comes first, for both
cereal rye and annual ryegrass. This is necessary to minimize the potential for
shading of emerging bermuda and reducing its yield. To favor the production of
bermuda, additional harvest of annual ryegrass will be required when the ryegrass
canopy reaches 12-15 inches height.
These management requirements shall also apply to overseeded winter small grain.

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
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.
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 A composting system approved and permitted by 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.
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.

COMMENTS:

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN
proper lagoon liquid management should be a year-round priority. It is especially important to
manage levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and wet periods.
Maximum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the receiving crop
is dormant such as wintertime for bermudagrass or when there are extended rainy spells such as
the thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means that at the first signs of plant growth in
the later winter/early spring,irrigation according to a farm waste management plan should be
done whenever the 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 winter storage. Every effort should be made to
maintain the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as long as the weather and waste utilization
plan will allow it.
Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before starting to irrigate does
not leave room for storing excess water during extended wet periods. Overflow from the lagoon
for any reason except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of state law and subject to penalty
action_
LAGOON MAINTENANCE
The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following:
f Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam. Fescue or common bernmxdagrass are the
most common vegetative covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year,if needed,
to maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fertilizer applied should be based on a soils
test,but in the event that it is not practical to obtain a soils test each year,the lagoon
embankment and surrounding areas should be fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of
10-10-10, or equivalent.
Brush and trees on the embank6ent must be 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 a$er 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:
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 wave 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,ba$1es in the lagoon may be 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 threat of a waste discharge.
However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the technical expert. Any digging into a
lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious undertaking with potentially serious consequences
and should not be conducted unless recommended by an appropriate technical expert.
Transfer Pumps--- check for proper operation of
-
I . recycling pumps
2. irrigation pumps
Check for leaks,loose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or grinding noise,
or a large amount of vibration,may indicate that the pump is in need or repair or replacement.
NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that
you are not completely"surprised"by equipment failure. You should perform your pumping
system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level_ This will allow some safety
time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly full lagoon is not the time to think about

switching,repairing, or borrowing pumps. probably, if your lagoon is ffi%your neighbor's lagoon
is full.also. You should consider mauotaining an inventory of spare parts or pumps
Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface drainage waters
(such as rainf R 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 that which comes from your flushing
(washing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon directly. You should
inspect your diversion system for the following:
1. adequate vegetation
2. diversion capacity
3. ridge berm height
Identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system during or
immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to determine proper
solutions, consult with appropriate experts.
You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is-predicted, and then record the
level again 4 to 6 hours 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 inflow 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 liming.
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 ofthe 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 pR 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.
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. Fit recharge systems,in which one or more buildings are drained and recharged each
day, also work well
Practice water conservation---minimize building water usage and spillage from
leaking waterers,broken pipes and wash down through proper maintenance and
water conservation.
Minimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This will.reduce
the amount of solids entering the lagoon
Management:
✓ Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and the full temporary
storage level
✓ place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the
minimum liquid_ level and the maximum liquid lever(Figure 2- 1).
✓ Start irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring based on nutrient requirements
and soil moisture so that temporary storage will be maximized for the summer
thunderstorm season. Similarly,irrigate in the late summer/early fall,to provide maximum
lagoon storage for the winter.
✓ The lagoon liquid level should never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest point of the 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 18 inches underneath the liquid surface and as
far away from the drainpipe inlets as possble.
✓ Prevent additions of bedding materials,long-stemmed forage or vegetation,molded feed,
plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon.
✓ Frequently remove solids from.catch basins at end of confinement houses or wherever they
are installed.
✓ Maintain strict vegetation,rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges. Do not allow
trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embankment.
✓ Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is full or before it
fills 50 percent of the permanent storage volume.
✓ If animal production is to be terminated,the owner is responsible for obtaining and
implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility of a pollutant discharge.
Sludge Removal:
Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by:
• 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:
• Ike 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 lagoon by 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 or forage land; 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.
When removing sludge,you must also pay attention to the Teter 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 phosphorus, 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
fadures 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 may lead to lagoon 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 surface water flowing into the lagoon-
Liner integrity---protect from inlet pipe scouring, damage during- sludge
removal, or rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater table.
NOTE: if lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam,the moving water will soon cause
gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts,it can quickly cause a large discharge of
wastewater and possible dam faflure.
