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

The Available Waste Storage Capacity table provides an estimate of the number of days of storage
capacity available at the end of each month of the' lan. Available storage capacity is calculated as the
design storage capacity in days minus the number Of days of net storage volume accumulated. The start
date is a value entered by the user and is defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in
the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or holding pond is equal to zero.
Available storage capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the design
storage capacity of the facility. If the available storage capacity is greater than the design storage
capacity,this indicates that the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated.
If available storage capacity is negative, the estim4ted volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design
storage volume of the structure. Either of these situations indicates that the planned application interval
in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the structure's temporary storage capacity.

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
1. Animal waste shall not reach.surface waters of the state by runoff, drift,
manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during
operation or land application. Any discharge of waste that reaches surface
water is prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in , he design folder that the producer
either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to
properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to
properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an
agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity,
allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the
responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to secure an
update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the
operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application,
receiving crop type, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs
for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical
data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are
regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients.
i
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre
per year. Waste may be applied t� land eroding at more than 5 tons per
acre per year but less than 10 toms 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 by disking after waste
application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift
from the land application field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding,waste
will be soil incorporated on convOntionally 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 Cll mate in North Carolina" for guidance).
I
i
854688 Database Version 3.1 Oate Printed: 3/5/2008 Specification Page 1

i
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 cropla�d provided the fields have been
approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal
waste shall not be applied on gra�sed 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.
17. A protective cover of appropriates 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 Oreas 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 in' Called 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.

Crop Notes
The following crop note applies to field(s): 4,5
Corn 1: CP,Mineral Soil, low-leachable
In the Coastal Plain,corn is normally planted when soil temperatures reach 52 to 55 degrees fahrenheit.
Review the Official Variety"green book"and information from private companies to select a high
yielding variety with the characteristics needed for;your area and conditions. Plant 1-2" deep.Plant
populations should be determined by the hybrid behng planted.Increase the seeding rate by 10%when
planting no-till.Phosphorus and potassium recommended by a soil test can be broadcast or banded at
planting. When planting early in cool,wet soil,banded phosphorus will be more available to the young
plants.An accepted practice is to apply 20-30 lbs/4cre N and 20-301bs/acre phosphorus banded as a
starter and one-half the remaining N behind the planter. The rest of the N should be applied about 3 0-40
days after emergence. The total amount of N is dependent on soil type.When including a starter in the
fertilizer program,the recommended potassium and any additional phosphorus is normally broadcast at
planting.Plant samples can be analyzed during thei growing season to monitor the overall nutrient status
of the corn.Timely management of weeds and insects are essential for corn production.
The following crop note applies to field(s): 4, 5
Cotton CP,Mineral Soil, low-leachable
i
In the Coastal Plain,cotton is normally planted from April 15-May 5 when warm(above 65 F)
temperatures and dry weather are present and predicted to remain for at least 5 to 7 days after planting.
Avoid planting after May 20 if at all possible.Review the NCSU Official Variety "green book" and
information from private companies to select a high yielding variety with characteristics needed for your
area and conditions.Plant 4-6 seed/row foot at a depth of 1/2-1".Adequate depth control is essential.
Recommended phosphorus and potash can be broadcast or banded at planting. Apply 20-25 lbs/acre N at
planting.Apply the remaining recommended N as a sidedress application 2 to 3 weeks after first square.
The total N needed is dependent on soil type.Apply 1.0 lb/acre actual boron either at planting or at
sidedress;or, foliar apply 1/2 lb/acre actual boron with 1/4 lb/acre applied at early bloom and the other
1/4 lb/acre about 2 weeks later. The boron needs tq be available to the cotton during fruiting. Tissue
samples can be analyzed during the growing season to monitor the nutrient status of the cotton. Timely
management of insects,weeds, and excessive vegetative growth are essential for profitable cotton
production.

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 lbs./ac PAN rate for the overseed are allowed to apply no
more than 50 lbs./ac 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 25%.
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.

WASTE 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.
Illegal discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalities of$10,000 per day
by the Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues.
2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer
either owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the
waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he
shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement (sample enclosed) with a
landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land
for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. It is the
responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization
Plan when there is a change in the operation, 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.
4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System
(RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss
shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will
be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to
"Buffers" requried by DEM. [See FOTG Standard 393 -- Filter Strips and Standard
390 (Interim) -- Riparian Forest Buffers.]
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application.
Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing.
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 conservaton 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" in the Technical Reference -- Environment file 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 applicatio-n. No ponding should occur in order to
control conditions conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application.
5

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when
the surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no
more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered by solids.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils
with a high potential for Ieaching. 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
on bare soil.
11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance
may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter
strips are present. (See Standard 393 -- Filter Strips)
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 a discharge or by over-spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted
wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical
specialist". Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge
directly into water courses, and only then at agronomic rates provided the application
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.
17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a
maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm
event in addition to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard.
6

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be establised on all disturbed areas
(lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be
provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation.
Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other wooded 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.
19. 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.
20. 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.

N C .
EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN
This plan will be implemented in the event that waste from your operation leaks,overflows,or runs off the
site. You should NOT wait until these waste reach surface waters or leave your property to consider you have
a problem. You should make every effort to ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be available to
all employees at the facility,as accidents,leaks,and breaks can happen at anytime.
1)Stop the release of waste. Depending on the situation,this may or may not be possible. Suggested
responses to problems are listed below:
A)Lagoon Overflow:
• add soil to the berm to increase the elevation of the dam
•pump waste to fields at an acceptable rate
• stop all additional flow to the lagoon
• call a pumping contractor
• make sure no surface water is entering the lagoon
Note:These activities should be started when your lagoon level has exceeded the temporary storage level.
B)Runoff from waste application field:
* immediately stop waste application
* create a temporary diversion or berm to contain the waste on the field "
* incorporate waste to reduce further runoff
C)Leaking from the waste distribution system:
• pipes and sprinklers:
1)stop recycle(flushing system)pump
2)stop irrigation pump `_-'
3)close valves to eliminate further discharge A-44V
4)separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow -Tr
* flush system,houses, solid separators:
1)stop recycle(flushing system)pump
2)stop irrigation pump
3)make sure no siphon effect has been created
4)separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow
O) Leakage from base or sidewall of the lagoon. Often these are seepage as opposed to flowing leaks:
`4
• dig a small well or ditch to catch all seepage,put in a submersible pump, and pump back into the lagoon
NOES,WUP version 1,page 9

• if holes are caused by burrowing animals,trap or remove animals and fill holes with compacted clay type
soil
•other holes may be likewise temporarily plugged with clay soil
NoteJor permanent repair measures,lagoon problems require the consultation of an individual experienced in
their design and installation.
2)Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damage.
A)Did the waste reach any surface waters?
B)Approximately how much was released and for what duration?
C)Any damage noted,such as employee injury,fish kills,or property damage?
3)Contact appropriate agencies.
A)During normal business hours,call your DEM regional office at:910-395-3900:after hours,the emergency
number is:919-733.3942. Your phone call should include:your name,facility,telephone number,the details of
the incident;the exact location of the facility,and the location or direction of the spill,weather and wind
conditions,what corrective measures have been taken,and the seriousness of the situation.
B)If the spill leaves the property or enters surface water,call the local EMS at: 911 .
C)Instruct EMS to contact the local Health Department at: 910.640-6617 .
D)Also contact the following other agencies:
The Cooperative Extension Service at: 910-640-6605 .
Your local Soil and Water Conservation District at: 910-642-2348 .
The local Natural Resources Conservation Service at: 910-642-2348.
And your Integrator at: &7P& ca-aL-
4)Implement procedures as advised by DEM and the technical assistance agencies to rectify the damage,repair
the system,and reassess the Waste Management Plan to keep problems with release of waste from happening
again.

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.
El
Landfill at municipal solid waste facility permitted by NC DEQ under GS 15A NCAC
E] 13B .0200.
[�f F-1 Rendering at a rendering plant licensed under G.S. 106-168.7.
ElF� Complete incineration according to 02 NCAC 52C .0102.
El
A deemed composting system according to 15A NCAC 02T.0113 (a)(12)and the NC
Department of Agriculture&Consumer Services Veterinary Division's Poultry&Swine
Composter Approval Guidelines. 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
El El 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 (referto 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.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS
----------------------------------------------------------
FOUNDATION PREPARATION:
-----------------------
The foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be
cleared of trees, logs, stumps, roots, brush, boulders,sod and rubbish.
Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The topsoil from
the lagoon and pad area should be stripped and stockpiled for use on
the dike and pad areas. After stripping, the foundation area of the
lagoon embankment and building pad shall be thoroughly loosened prior
to placing the first lift of fill material to get a good bond.
EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT:
-----------------------------------
The completed excavation and earthfill shall conform to the lines,
grades, and elevations shown on the plans. Earthfill material shall
be free of material such as sod, roots, frozen soil, stones over
6 inches in diameter, and other objectionable material. To the extent
they are suitable, excavated materials can be used as fill. The fill
shall be brought up in approximately horizontal layers not to exceed 9
inches in thickness when loose and prior to compaction. Each layer
will be compacted by complete coverage with the hauling and spreading
equipment or standard tamping roller or other. equivalent method.
Compaction will be considered adequate when fill material is observed
to consolidate to the point that settlement is not readily detectible.
NOTE THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PLACEMENT OF LINERS IN THE LINER
SECTION OF THIS SPECIFICATION. The embankment of the lagoon shall be
installed using the more impervious materials from the required
excavations. Construction of fill heights shall include 5 percent for
settlement. Dikes over 15 feet in height and with an impoundment
capacity of 10 acre-feet or more fall under the jurisdiction of the NC
Dam Safety Law. The height is defined as the difference in elevation
from the constructed height to the downstream toe of the dike.
Precautions shall be taken during construction to prevent excessive
erosion and sedimentation.
LINER: THE MINIMUM REQUIRED THICKNESS SHALL BE 1. 6 ft.
------ --=----------------------------------------------
NOTE: LINERS (PARTIAL OR FULL) ARE REQUIRED WHEN THE ATTACHED SOILS
INVESTIGATION REPORT SO INDICATES OR WHEN UNSUITABLE MATERIAL IS
ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRUCTION. A TYPICAL CROSS SECTION OF THE LINER
IS INCLUDED IN THE DESIGN WHEN LINERS ARE REQUIRED BY THE SOILS REPORT.
When areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will be over-
excavated below finish grade to the specified depth as measured
perpendicular to the finish grade. The foundation shall be backfilled
as specified to grade with a SCS approved material (ie - CL, SC,CH) .
REFER TO THE SOILS INVESTIGATION INFORMATION IN THE PLANS FOR SPECIAL
CONSIDERATIONS.

A
SHEET 2 OF 2
' Soil liner material shall come from an approved borrow area. The
minimum water content of the liner material shall be optimum moisture
content which :relates to that moisture content when the soil is kneaded
in the hand it will form a ball which does not readily separate. Water
shall be added to borrow as necessary to insure proper moisture content
during placement of the liner. The moisture content of the liner
material shall not be less than optimum water content during placement.
The maximum water content relates to the soil material being too wet
for efficient use of hauling equipment and proper compaction. Proper
compaction of the liner includes placement in 9 inch lifts and
compacted .to at least 90 percent of the maximum ASTM D698 Dry Unit
Weight of the liner material. When smooth or hard, the previous lift
shall be scarified and moistened as needed before placement of the next
lift.
The single most important factor affecting the overall compacted perme-
ability of a clay liner, other than the type of clay used for the
liner, is the efficient construction processing of the compacted liner.
The sequence of equipment use and the routing of equipment in an estab-
lished pattern -helps assure uniformity in the whole placement and
compaction process. For most clay soils, a taming or sheepsfoot
roller is the !preferable type of compaction equipment.
The soil liner shall be protected from the discharge of waste outlet
pipes. This can be done by using some type of energy dissipator(rocks)
or using flexible outlets on waste pipes.
Alternatives to soil liners are synthetic liners and bentonite sealant.
When these are specified, additional construction specifications are
included with -this Construction Specification.
CUTOFF TRENCH:
--------------
A cutoff trench shall be constructed under the embankment area when
shown on a typical cross section in the plans. The final depth of the
cutoff trench shall be determined by observation of the foundation
materials.
VEGETATION: ,
All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded
to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construc-
tion according to the seeding specifications. Topsoil should be placed
on areas of the dike and pad to be seeded. Temporary seeding or mulch
shall be used if the recommended permanent vegetation is out of season
dates for seeding. Permanent vegetation should be established as soon
as possible during the next period of approved seeding dates.
REMOVAL OF EXISTING TILE DRAINS
-------------------------------
When tile drains are encountered, the tile will be removed to a minimum
of 10 feet beyond the outside toe of slope of the dike. The tile
trench shall be backfilled and compacted with good material such as
SC, CL, or CH.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
------------------------------
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) and
180 days of temporary storage. The time required for the planned
fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be reached may vary
due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount
of fresh water added to the system.
The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for:
(1) waste from animals and (2) excess rainfall after evaporation. Also
included is storage for the 25 year - 24 hour storm for- the location.
The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be
fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year, but excess
rainfall will vary from year to year. The 25 year rainfall will not
be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage
volume must always be available.
A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin
pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from
building(s) . If the outlet pipe is not installed at the elevation to
begin dumping,; a permanent marker must be installed at this elevation
to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established
to stop pumping to maintain lagoon treatment depth.
Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two
elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as
weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without
runoff or leaching.
Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable
method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set,
center pivot, -guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be
taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops.
The- following items are to be carried out:
*
1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre-
charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during, , e.. '=k
start-up. Pre-charging reduces the concentration of the initial, ...,
waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be,
covered with effluent at all times. When precharging is complete,,
flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not
be used for flushing after initial filling.
2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This..
plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment,)` f'':;.;d, b.
before land application.
3 . Begin temporary storage pump-out of the lagoon when fluid_ level
reaches the elevation 50. 0 as marked by permanent marker. Stop- pump-
out when the fluid level reaches elevation 47. 9 This temporary
storage, less 25 yr- 24 hr storm, contains 210100 cubic feet or'
1571552 gallons.

4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is
one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0. 3
inch per hour. Refer to the waste utilization plan for further details.
5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the
lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed
to maintain a 'vigorous stand.
6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and
establish in vegetation.
j
7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable
outlets.
8. -Keep a minimum of 25 feet of' grass vegetated buffer around
waste utilization fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will
not be applied in open ditches. Do not pump within 200 feet of a
residence or within 100 feet of a well. Waste shall be applied in a
manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways.
9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of
pollutants into waters of the United States. The Department of
Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ-
mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law.
