with soils. If applying waste nutrien#s through an irrigation system,you nmist apply at a ratethat will not result in
runoff. This table provides the maxiniumapplication rate per hour that maybe applied to each field selected to receive
.wastewater. it also lists the maximum application amount that each field may receive in any one application event.

The fonowing Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization table provides an estimate of the number of acres needed for
sludge utilization for the indicated acc unuflation period These estimates are based on average nitrogen
concentrations for each sourc-,the number of animals in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application rates
shown in the second column
Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter wining after treatment and application of-the effluent, At
clean our, this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agrenonuc rates. In most cases,the
priority nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous,copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since
nutrient levels are generally very high,application of sludge must be careliffly applied.
Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge applications. Ideally, effluent spray fields should not be
used for sludge application. If this is not possible;care should be taken not to load dRaeut application fields with
high amounts of copper and zmc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water
moving to stream and lakes,phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a
concern.

The Available Waste Storage Capacity table provides an estimate of the number of days of storage
capacity availableat the end of each month of the plan Available storage capacity is calculated as the
design storage capacity in clays minus the number of clays ofnet storage volume accumulated- The start
date is a value entered by the user and is damned 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 ofnutrimis that have not yet accumulated if available
storage capacity is negative,the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design storage volume
of the structure- Either of these situ�indicates that the planned application interval in the waste
utilization plan is inconsistent withthe structurds temporary storage capacity.

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Manap-ement
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 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, helshe 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.
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 injmfmg the waste or by disidng 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 floodin%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 daring a season prone to
flooding(see "Weather and Climate in North Carolina"for guidance).
736829 Database Verson 3.1 Dale Printed 3/1512007 Seecifreation Page 1

7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil inriiltration rate
sueh 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.
S. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events,
or when the soil surface is frozen
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-Wastelnutrient 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 that 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 a 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, etG, shall not be 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,etr.)- 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
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.
2Q. 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
`ter with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season.
21. visible markers s Highly rs hall 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 win 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 nnnuany 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
soils 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 five(5)

OPERATION-AND-MAINTENANCE-PLAN
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) with
minimum odor control. The time required for the planned fluid level
to be reached (permanent + temporary storage) may vary due to
flushing operations and the amount of fresh water to be added to the
system.
The designed 6 months temporary storage is an estimated volume
based on : 1) waste from animals; 2) excess rainfall after
evaporation; and 3) the largest 24 hour (one day) rainfall that
occurs on the average of once every 25 years. The volume of
waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly
constant throughout the year -and from year to year. This
estimate is based on 7 inches of excess rainfall which is
equal to or exceeds the highest 6 months excess in a year.
The average annual excess rainfall is approximately 8 inches.
Therefore, an average of 8 inches of excess rainfall will
need to be pumped each 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 on the elevation to begin pumping, a
permanent marker must be installed on this elevation to
indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be
established to stop pumping to maintain minimum treatment depth
(6 feet) . Pumping can be started or stopped any time between
these two elevations for operating convenience as site
conditions permit (weather, soils, crop, and equipment 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 runoff from the field
or' damage to crops.
The following items are to be carried out:
1. It is strongly recommended tha the treatment lagoon be pre-
charged to 1/2 its capacity' to prevent excessive odors during
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 pre-
charging is completed, 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 B) before land application.

3 . Begin pump-out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches eleva-
tion 58 . 30 as marked by permanent markers. Stop pump-out
when the fluid level reaches elevation 55. 50 or before
fluid depth is less than 6 feet deep (this prevents the loss of
favorable bacteria) . The design temporary storage, less 25 year
storm is 98057 cubic feet or 733463 gallons. As stated
before, this volume will vary considerably from year to year.
4 . The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one
(1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0 . 4
inches per hour.
5 . Keep vegetation on 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.
7 . All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to
stable outlets.
8 . Keep a minimum of 100 feet cropland buffer or 25 feet of grass
vegetated buffer around waste utilization fields, particularly adjacent
to ponds, lakes, streams, open ditches, etc. Do not pump within
300 feet of a residence ar within 100 feet of a well.
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.

System Calibration
Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operation
conditions with relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application rates change
over time as equipment gets older and components wear. In particular, pump wear tends
to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use, nozzle wear results in an
increase In the nozzle opening which will increase the discharge rate while decreasing the
wetted diameter.
You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the design will
alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently the application
uniformity. For example, operating the system with excessive pressure results in smaller
droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the sprinkler nozzle. Clogging
of nozzles can result in pressure Increase. Plugged intakes or crystallization of mainlines
will reduce operating pressure. Operating below design pressure greatly reduces the
coverage diameter and application uniformity.
For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to ensure
proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every three years is
recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at several locations in
the application area. Any number of containers can be used to collect flow and
determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because they already have a
graduated scale from which to read the application amount without having to perform
additional calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets, jars, or anything with a uniform
opening and cross-section can be used provided the liquid collected can be easily
transferred to a scaled container for measuring.
For stationary sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly throughout the
application area at several distances from sprinklers. For traveling guns, sprinklers
should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direction of pull. Set out
collection containers 25 feet apart along the transect on both sides of the gun cart. You
should compute the average application rate for all nonuniformity of the application. On a
windless day, variation between containers of more than 30 percent Is cause for concern.
You should contact your Irrigation dealer or technical specialist for assistance.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN
Proper lagoon 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 a
thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means that at the first sign of plant growth in the
later winter/ early spring, irrigation according to a farm waste management plan should be done
whenever the land in dry enough to mce€ve 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 irrigated 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 fertilized 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 satts or minerals
4. overall conditian of pipes
2

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—stumps or bulges
3. wet or damp areas on the back slope
4. erosion due to lack or 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 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.-
1. 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 of 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
3

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 overflow problem from a surface water diversion or#hare may be seepage Into
the lagoon from the surrounding land.
Lagoon Operation
Startup:
i. 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 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 occur at least two weeks prior to the addition of
wastewater.
6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. 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_ 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 spinage 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 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 level. (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 1 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.
• Don not pump the lagoon liquid level lower than 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.
a 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:
S
i

• 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 property use the nutrients.
Removal techniques;
• Fare a custom applicator,
• Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper-agitator impeller pump through large-
bone sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland;and soil incorporate.
• Oewater 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.
Qewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or forageland;
dredge sludge from lagoon with dragllne 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.
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 Iagoon 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 phosphors, 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, 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 failure.

This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking,
overflowing,or running off site.You should not wait until wastes reach surface waters or leave
your property to consider that you have a,problem.You should make every effort to ensure that
this does not happen.This plan should be posted in an accessible location for all employees at
the facility.The following are some action items you should take.
1. Stop the release of wastes.Depending on the situation,this may or may not be possible.
Suggested responses to some possible problems are listed below.
a. Lagoon overflow-possible solutions are:
1) Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam.
2) Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate.
3) Stop all flows to the lagoon immediately.
4) Call a pumping contractor.
5) Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon.
b. Runoff from waste application field-actions include:
1) Immediately stop waste application.
2) Create a temporary diversion to contain waste.
3) Incorporate waste to reduce runoff.
4) Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s)that caused the runoff.
5) Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred.
c. Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinklers-action include:
1) Stop recycle pump.
2) Stop irrigation pump.
3) Close valves to eliminate further discharge.
4) Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.

© stop recycle(flushing system)pump
® stop irrigation pump
a make sure no siphon effect has been created
® separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow
d) Leakage from base or sidewall of the lagoon. Often these are seepage as opposed
to flowing leaks:
• dig a small well or-ditch to catch all seepage, put in a submersible pump, and
pump back into the lagoon
• if holes are caused by burrowing animals,trap or remove animals and fill holes
and compact with a clay type soil.
• other holes may be likewise temporarily plugged with clay soil.
Note: For permanent repair measures, lagoon problems require the consultation of an individual
experienced in their design and installation.
2) Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages.
a) Did the waste reach any surface waters?
b) Approximately how much was released and for what duration?
c) Any damage noted, such as employee injury.,fish kills, or property damage?
3) Contact appropriate agencies.

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 beat least one foot above the seasonal
high water table.Attach burial location map and plan.
Q 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.
Q 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).
a a 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
T also recommended for all animal operations. This plan outlines farm-specific mortality man-
n/�1, �q,tJ/ agement methods to be used for mass mortality. The NCDA&CS Veterinary Division sup-
VS,4L/ ports a variety of emergency mortality disposal options; contact the Division for guidance.
f"L� • 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
u1' 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.
