It is especially not have problems during extended rainy and Maximum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for nods when the . Pe re=vuig 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/earl nn irrigation accordin to a term y SP � �g 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 'od g 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 va to utilization plan will allow it. Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before spa to . P' b =gate does not leave room for storing excess water during extended wet nods. Overflow� . from the lagoon for any reason except a 25- ear, 24-hour storm is a violation of P Y state law and subject to penalty action. The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the followin : g Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam. Fescue or common bermudagrass are the most common vegetative covers. The vegetation should be ferdlized 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 embanl nent and surrounding areas should be fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or equivalent. Is 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 treatin g 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 1 _ separation of joints 2. crags or breaks I accumulation of salts or minerals 4. overall condition of pipes Overflow Pipes --look for: 11 Lagoon surface ---look for: 1, undesirable vegetative growth . floating or lodged debris Embankment --look for: l • settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes 2. side slope stability —slumps or bulges 3. wet or damp areas on the back slope 40 erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result of wave action S, 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 maybe used to reduce the wave impacts. Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakeningof the dam: If our y lagoon has any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with aPP P o?�po design and construction of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporaryfix if there is a threat of a waste discharge. However, g er, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavyui ment ig equipment s 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. recychng pumps 2, i.mgation pumps Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall um operation. An unusuall loud ' . pump P Pe y or grinding noise, or a large amount of vibration, may indicate that the pump is in need or repair or replacement NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that you are not completely surprised by equipment fa�,lure. You shouldperformyour-pumpings stem y 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 nears full lagoon is not the time .. g y to think about switching, repa=` g , or borrowingpumps. Probably,ifyour oon is fllP Pour nei hbor s I y g lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an inventory of spare parts or pumps. 19 Surface water diversion features are designed to all surface d �� rauzage.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 directl . You diversion y should inspect your diversion system for the following: I. adequate vegetation 2. diversion capacity 3. ridge berm height 0 Identif ed problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect our stem dwcin Pr imm rry � g ediately following a heavy rain. If 'cal assistance is needed to d e proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts. You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain ispredicted, and rhea P record_ the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no This will pumping) give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a cmtain ount (you must also be recording your for this to work). Knowing this should h . ) g help is Planning =gation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you uia have an inflow roblern from a s h P � water diversion or there may be seepage into the lagoon from the surrounding Land. Lagoon Operation Startup: 1. Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare sot surfaces to avoid erosion. Z. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before waste loading begins, es. taking care not to erode lining or. bank slopes. 3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible piDe extender on the end of the pipe to aischarge near the bottom of the lagoon dunng mltzai �g or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid b � erosion of the lining. 4. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to m - . SP g bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather). 5. It is oon recommended that a new be seeded with sludge from a h • �g g healthy working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full. lagoon liquid volume. This seeding Pn should occour- at least two weeks 'or to the addition of wastewater. 6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid H. If the H falls below a� q P P 7.0, add agncul=uai line 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 specna�ist is recommended if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm season. 0W'#y.t@119L• 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 doll y are optimum for treatment.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner: 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. 1 of 8 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 aDolication 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.

LAND UTILIZATION SUMMARY The following table describes the nutrient balance and land utilization rate for this facility Note that the Nitrogen Balance for Crops indicates the ratio of the amount of nitrogen produced on this facility to the amount of nitrogen that the crops under irrigation may uptake and utilize in the normal growing season. Total Irrigated Acreage: 30.14 Total N Required 1st Year: 8652.6 Total N Required 2nd Year: 0 Average Annual Nitrogen Requirement of Crops: 8,652.60 Total Nitrogen Produced by Farm: 2,496.00 Nitrogen Balance for Crops: (6,156.60) The following table describes the specifications of the hydrants and fields that contain the crops designated for utilization of the nitrogen produced on this facility. This chart describes the size, soil characteristics, and uptake rate for each crop in the specified crop rotation schedule for this facility.

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

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 374.4 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year 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 1872 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 14.976 acres of land. Please note that these are only estimates of the PAN produced and the land required to utilize that PAN. Actual values may only be determined by sampling the sludge for plant available nitrogen content prior to application Actual utilization rates will vary with soil type, crop, and realistic yield expectations for the specific application fields designated for sludge application at time of removal. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION: The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and 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. 5of8 Application Rate Guide The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.
