The plant nutrients in the animal waste should beused to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste imtobeapplied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen oothe limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed - before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged oo that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields nf the crop tobegrown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to nn@oinnize 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 ou they have different infiltration rates, leaching potenUm|o, cation exchange capacideo, and available water holding oopau|Ueu. 3. Normally waste shall ba applied to land eroding otless than 5 tons per acre per year. VVoato may be applied to land eroding at 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 naeu|t in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DVVRregulations. 5. Wind conditions should also b*considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. G. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pnUUUOM' the waste should be applied to o growing nnnp or applied not more than _ 3U days prior to planting 8 crop or forages breaking dormancy, Injecting the waste or u,mmng Will conserve nu0entoonUreOuce oOorpn3U|808, 1 of11 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.

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 364 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 1820 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 6 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre,you will need 14.56 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 of 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. *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 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. Call 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. 5of11 Application Rate Guide The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

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, MRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips). S 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 o C w � J Y J U �® N 0 c O` ® O o 0 / of \ o.2 )IF vao x o I 3 0 o �,m wE ZF° ° . -ram o �4 j \Y rn Id P v �a' rnas 3 Vn x o W V)t n x y N C I U v 1— � U V N $ s -0Lh 5 L-ui eo c 1!

Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam. b. Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate. c. Stop all flows to the lagoon immediately. d. Call a pumping contractor. e. Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon. B: 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 caused the runoff. e. Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred. C: Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinklers-action include: a. Stop recycle pump. b. Stop irrigation pump. c. Close valves to eliminate further discharge. d. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps. D: Leakage from flush systems, houses, solid separators-action include: a. Stop recycle pump. S b. Stop irrigation pump. c. Make sure no siphon occurs. d. Stop all floes in the house,flush systems, or solid separators. 1 December 18, 1996 e, Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps. E: Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed to flowing leaks-possible action: a. Dig a small sump or ditch away from the embankment to catch all seepage, put in a submersible pump, and pump back to lagoon. b. If holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fin holes and compact with a clay type soil. c. Have a professional evaluate the condition of the side walls and lagoon bottom as soon as possible. 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? d. Did the spill leave the property? e. Does the spill have the potential to reach surface waters? L Could a future rain event cause the spill to reach surface waters? L. Are potable water wells in danger(either on or off of the property)? h. How much reached surface waters? 3: Contact appropriate agencies. a. During normal business hours, call your DWQ (Division of Water Quality) regional office; Phone - - . After hours, emergency number: 919-733-3942. Your phone call should include: your name, facility, telephone number, the details of the incident from item 2 above, the exact location of the facility,the location or direction of movement of the spill,weather and wind conditions. The corrective measures that have been under taken, and the seriousness of the situation. b. If spill leaves property or enters surface waters, call local EMS Phone number - c. Instruct EMS to contact local Health Department. d. Contact CBS,phone number - - , local SWCD office phone number and local NRCS office for advice/technical assistance phone number - - 4: If none of the above works call 911 or the Sheriffs Department and explain your problem to them and ask that person to contact the proper agencies for you. 5: Contact the contractor of your choice to begin repair of problem to minimize off-site damage. //� a.

When selecti,79 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 beat 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 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. 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. 106-649.70). 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.

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 (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 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. The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following; Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam. Fescue or common bermudagrass 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 embankment 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 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! 1• undesirable vegetative growth 2. floating or lodged debris • Embankment---look for: I, 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 of 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 erode the lagoon sidewalls, 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 sidewall, baffles 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 ment is a serious undertaking with potentially serious consequences and shoul notlbe conducted unless recommended by an appropriate technical expert. • Transfer Pumps---check for proper operation of: 1. recycling pumps 2• irrigation pumps Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump operation unusually noise, or a large amount of vibration may i , An unusually loud or grinding , y indicate that the pump 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 full, 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 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 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 have an inflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may lagoon from the surrounding land. seepage into the 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. I 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 occour at least two weeks prior to the addition of wastewater. 6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon Iiquid pH. If the pH falls below 7.0, add agricultural Iime 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 season. if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm 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. • Practice water conservation---minimize building water usage and spillage from leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown 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 the full temporary storage level. Permanent storage level and 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 nutrient requirements and soi pmo51sture so that date in rtem temporary based on will be maximized for the summer thunderstorm season. Similarly, Simililarrly, 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 dam 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 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 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: • 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. CIose 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 phosphores, 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, th ensuring structure safety, e owner has the responsibilit Items which may lead to lagoon failures include: y for 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 discharg of wastewater and possible dam failure. ge
